    Looking at you Apple. However, their tricks don't stop me from building an XNU version from 15 years ago on modern software...

  3. Let's see how #ZedEditor folks tackle this bug out:

    github.com/zed-industries/zed/

    Time to check if those 2.6K issues are just a lagging list, or they suffer the same problem than VS Code and Jetbrains: Issue Creep.

  5. #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.

  9. Trump Media to sell instant access to 'market-moving' social posts

    So will the source code for these apparent 'new' features be relased as per the agpl license requirements?

  10. #Unix #copyright code infringement #lawsuit is back from the dead — #IBM still under fire from #Xinuos over 2003-era bytes
    Xinuos (formerly #SCO) has repeatedly and dramatically taken IBM to court, claiming the defendant misused SCO-owned #sourcecode from the collaborative effort in its AIX and z/OS products, as well as Linux. Many battles have been fought over who owns the "Unix" name, what code IBM put in Linux, and even FreeBSD.

  12. Is Linux Kernel 7.2 really 43 million lines? We verified the count with wc, cloc, tokei, and scc tools and explain why the results differ.

  20. (1/4) Dear #linuxaudio friends. Over the past few months I've been hard at work on a major LAD website overhaul. Today I put it live. 🥳

    Many changes lay the groundwork for releasing the #sourcecode and enabling a community-driven future of the initiative.

    What's new:
    * Dynamic templates & data store for all data types
    * New Hardware/Software Recipes data type linked to artists/developers and their interviews
