  1. The GIMP Is No Slouch

    The GNU Image Manipulation Program emerged from UC Berkeley 30 years ago, continues to dominate the graphic arts industry at the forefront of professional FOSS adoption in the industry and is completely cross-platform supporting most major contemporary operating systems.

    Poised for some major advances during the next few releases, including additional capabilities supporting proprietary legacy software and a new file format, there's many new bleeding edge innovations leading the industry that need mention and are included in this latest announcement.

  2. Как мы писали Kubernetes-клиент, который старается не врать

    Я разозлился на то, что Lens стал платным, и написал свой платный Kubernetes-клиент: закрытый репозиторий, биллинг, версии до 1.7.12. Потом схлопнул историю в один коммит, выкинул платёжный код и выложил всё под MIT. Ирония дошла до меня чуть позже, чем следовало. Под катом — как правило «не утверждать того, чего не можешь подтвердить» превращается в конкретные баги: под в Running с мёртвым контейнером внутри, Service с исправным селектором и нулём трафика, истёкший токен GKE, который выглядит как пустой кластер. Почему запрет на refetchInterval в линтере сэкономил 77% запросов к API-серверу. Как я трижды поймал одну и ту же гонку с Tauri-событиями. Как пришёл друг и переписал три четверти фронтенда, а я посчитал git blame , чтобы понять, что от меня осталось. И что я узнал, когда скачал собственный релиз, а macOS сообщила, что он повреждён.

  4. @fsf How have you defended the projects that have been assigned to you?

    Have you managed to get your assigned code removed from the #ai #llm companies like #openai and #claude?

    Happy to read more if you have a page where you detail your defense of #GPL projects assigned to you.

    As far as I can tell, your defense is entirely in the abstract.

  5. I've never spent the time delving (IANAL) into this and maybe it has to be addressed or maybe it needs to be fought out in the courts, but here is the question:

    If an LLM was trained on code that is subjected to GPL/GPLv2/GPLv3/AGPL licenses, then surely the generated artifacts are also subjected to those licenses?

    Am I wrong?

    #llms #ai #gpl #licenses

  6. Nowhere in the GPL is written that you must provide source code proactive gratis.
    It complies with GPL when you provide source code only after request.
    It complies with GPL when the answer to such request costs money.

  7. @vantablack #Emacs users I've been vim/nvim user for a long time.
    convience me to use Emacs instead.
    #gnu #linux #gpl #textEditor

    My main concerns are be pragmatic when I develop software, the speed to write code, and have tools to manage my software project and my time.

    Extras: I love lua over vimscript
    Possible reason to change: AI slop in vim and neovim source code, but no a enough reason to leave them yet.

  12. @EUCommission

    Moreover, you should think of something about phones and tablets with healthy hardware but outdated software. So many companies especially in China stop the software updates/upgrades after like 2-3 years. And moreover, they also make it too hard for the #FOSS communities to come up with alternative operating system for these devices.

    Some companies lock the device to prevent installing custom OS.

    Some other violate #GPL and they don't release the #Linux source code for their devices.

    Some release the GPL code with a 1 year delay. Which means FOSS community is 1 year behind to bring custom OS to the device.

    All of these contribute to #ewaste and they harm the planet. And many people are forced to buy a new phone/tablet every 1-3 years to get a newer Android version.

    Side note: it's not ideal that "base" has two quite different meanings …

  17. #Sourcecode is written by humans, for humans. High level #programming languages aren't used because they're the natural languages of the machines, they're simply the preferred form of humans to interact with them and with other programmers. So, when we talk about #AI code, what we're really talking about is about making source code, as we know it, irrelevant. Once humans largely get out of the picture, source code is no longer the original blueprint, the beating heart of a program... just an intermediate step in machine code generation. Like bytecode.

    From this perspective, the #freesoftware and #opensource movements are greatly weakened by AI. They were started from very different assumptions of what the source code is good for, and in the AI era, they're starting to lose this original purpose and utility. Having source code that is open, and freely shareable between people, makes no longer as much sense when all we got over there is just #agentic output, coming out from fully propietary systems no less, and in which the LLM prompt was the actual blueprint of the program instead of the formal programming language that was generated by it.

    Not only there's little to learn, little wisdom and value derived from humans reading code being generated by this process. But the #GPL, #MIT, #BSD or #Apache licenses used to distribute it become just as irrelevant as the code they're protecting; after all, these #licenses can't carry over to the LLM prompt. The elephant in the room for many people is: why bother with open source licensing, when the source code itself doesn't play as prominent a role in #computing anymore? It is perhaps in this manner that the tech #multinationals are moving to finally embrace, extend and extinguish the whole free software movement. Specially with so many prominent open source insiders actively collaborating with them in the pursuit of large pools of funding and personal financial gain.

  18. Wow! My long-ago coworker Gregory Burd hit this issue very specifically a week ago. Really well worth a read! #gpl #copyleft #genAIIP

    Besides being the fastest hire Next ever made & now working for AWS, you might know Greg from sleepycat Berkeley DB which had a great license.

  20. There's indeed a lot of #GPL on github.

    If some lawyers want to wade into whether "distillation"|ML ⊂ "modifies" code as per GPL, please feel free to address questions replying to this thread, but I'd assume #genAI generates enough recognisable lines of GPLed code that copyright kicks in directly.
