🐧 Pe măsură ce Ubuntu îmbrățișează IA, Debian discută interzicerea codului generat de inteligența artificială!Publicația XDA Developers evidențiază o divergență filozofică masivă între două dintre cele mai importante distribuții Linux din lume: în timp ce Canonical (Ubuntu) integrează activ unelte de IA pentru a atrage dezvoltatori și utilizatori, comunitatea Debian poartă dezbateri aprinse privind interzicerea completă a contribuțiilor de cod generat de inteligența artificială.✨ Punctele cheie ale acestei dezbateri:🚫 Poziția de precauție a proiectului Debian:• Problematică de licențiere și drepturi de autor: Dezvoltatorii Debian își exprimă îngrijorarea că modelele de IA sunt antrenate pe pachete de cod cu licențe incompatibile, existând riscul de încălcare neintenționată a drepturilor de autor (copyright infringement).• Calitatea și securitatea codului: Codul generat de IA poate introduce bug-uri subtile, vulnerabilități de securitate sau halucinații greu de detectat la un audit manual al pachetelor din depozit.• Propunerea de interzicere: Membri marcanti ai comunității discută introducerea unor reguli stricte care să interzică sau să limiteze drastic trimiterea de patch-uri și pachete generate prin LLM-uri (cum ar fi ChatGPT sau GitHub Copilot).🤖 Abordarea pro-IA a companiei Canonical (Ubuntu):• Canonical explorează activ integrarea asistenților IA în ecosistemul Ubuntu pentru a simplifica administrarea sistemului, automatizarea sarcinilor și atragerea noilor dezvoltatori de aplicații.• Compania vede tehnologiile generative ca pe un motor de accelerare a productivității și dorește să poziționeze Ubuntu ca o platformă de top pentru dezvoltarea și rularea sarcinilor de lucru IA (AI workloads).⚖️ Fricțiunea în ecosistemul derivat:• Având în vedere că Ubuntu se bazează direct pe infrastructura și pachetele din Debian, o interdicție strictă în Debian ar putea crea complicații pentru menținătorii Ubuntu care utilizează unelte asistate de IA în activitatea lor zilnică.📌 Concluzie:Această dezbatere reflectă o diviziune tot mai mare în lumea Open Source: pe de o parte, dorința de protejare a integrității, securității și purității licențelor (Debian), iar pe de altă parte, impulsul comercial de adoptare rapidă a noilor tehnologii pentru eficiență (Ubuntu)! 🚀#Debian #Ubuntu #Linux #OpenSource #AICoding #AI #XDADevelopers #TechNews #FOSS

Lol 2 of the 3 things this guy "needs" are completely out of the control of Linux devs

For the first time in many years I have not rooted my new phone.

It feels a little strange, especially considering I was quite involved in the development of #Magisk a few years ago. And I was also a forum moderator on #XDADevelopers.

Haven't been active in that community in some time, but it still feels like the end of something. Maybe a hint of sorrow, maybe relief?

Oh well... Don't need it anymore and if I ever do I have a bunch of knowledge and expertise to fall back on.

#Android #Root

Kaum zu glauben, aber wir nutzen #Skype tatsächlich noch täglich – vor allem für unseren Redaktions-Chat. Bisher gab es keinen Grund, die Plattform zu wechseln, sei es aus Bequemlichkeit oder einfach, weil es schon immer so war. Doch schon bald könnten wir dazu gezwungen sein, auf andere Dienste umzusteigen. Laut der Webseite #XDADevelopers steht die Abschaltung von Skype offenbar kurz bevor.

I just realized that I've had my @xdadevelopers account for almost 18 years!

I originally registered an account on #XDADevelopers because it was the go-to forum for #hacking & #modding 1st gen #smartphones like the #HTCBlueAngel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Blue_Angel) and #HTCWizard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Wizard), which were my 1st and 2nd smartphones respectively, back in the early-mid #noughties.

They ran #WindowsMobile, and they featured a slide-out #QWERTY keyboard for relatively fast and precise thumb-typing, a #ResistiveTouchscreen w/ built-in #stylus for taking handwritten notes and drawing pictures, and a rear-facing camera for shooting digital photos on the go. They even came with a mobile version of the #MicrosoftOffice suite, and you could synchronize your documents, spreadsheets, calendar, and contacts with your laptop or desktop by simply dropping the phone into its #USB cradle.

This was all several years before #iPhone and #Android came along. Dang, now I feel even older than usual. 😅

#XDADevelopers values my #privacy and wants to share my #data with 1498 partners. Not even an opt-out option.

Long live tbe ROMs. I don't root or install replacement ROM anymore but it is what brought me to and still keeps me enthusiastic about Android. From adding things, to breathing new life into abandoned hardware ROMs are a great thing to have around.

I'm on #XDAdevelopers since the times you needed to have at least 10 posts in other forums, before even technically able to post in developer forums threads.

And now I look at a new post in a dev forum thread, from a freshly registered user, randomly giving people advice on how/what flashables to install and what to do in case of problem x.

No one asked for this.
Did you ask the OP if third party install instructions are wanted?
What's the purpose of this post?

Please, just don't do this 🙄

XDA Developers have tested almost every smartphone that hit the market in 2022, and these are our picks for the best of the year

Title image for article show three phones layered on each other with text saying XDA Best of 2022 I generally find XDA Developers a very hand-on type publication, and I’ve long been using their forums too for Android custom ROM assistance, so I usually enjoy reading their particular “best of” articles. Too many […]

Sometimes i think #XDADevelopers is the most toxic Tech related community...
Most threads are like "you found a bug and i dont like to fix it... well thread closed"
or "i stopped working on this project and i don't give the sourcecode because it could help other people still using their old phones with updates - thread closed" wtf is wrong with those people?
