The give aways: starting paragraphs with a punchy sentence in bold with a colon.

Plus they used the "it's not X it's Y" thing.

That... Feels a bit much. We can agree data collection like this is bad without conspiracy theories like that.

Btw this happened in February 2020 nearly 6 years ago.

Yeah but now the meaning of the word AI has changed in most people's minds to mean generative ai and mostly LLMs.

Except they didn't relicence to AGPL initially, they switched to dual licensing under the RSALv2 (a proprietary licence) and SSPLv1 (a non open source, non-free licence). So essentially they made it proprietary, that's what everyone was annoyed about. If they went straight to AGPL I'm sure there would've been some people who were annoyed, but most developers would understand why and I doubt there would have been the valkey fork.

This kind of election interference speculation erodes trust in democracy and is part of what led to the January 6th thing. Not saying that's what you're trying to do, just that it's a precursor to that kind of stuff.

But only if you say you're using them to train an AI

I think they just meant precedent, like it sets an example of how they treat copyright infringement.

It's in this repo.

Depends on what you mean by a DE's "look", if you just mean the theme and layout then you can theme something like xfce or lxqt to look similarly modern.

No, it uses Google and Brave search.

Bunch of right wing stuff, some anti vax stuff, the usual

Guix! Nah just kidding, it's gotta be the snowflake one

Ironic considering C# was supposed to be very similar to Java

I don't mean to be that guy, but if you like your desktop a certain way and want to easily configure it you might want to look into Nix and home-manager, it's difficult to get started but once you have a config that works it lets you set up your whole OS and desktop and lots of apps.

Indigenous Taiwanese, from the area now called Tainan. From what I can tell the name Taiwan comes from the Sirayan language.

That's literally the rhetoric that the Republican party used about the 2020 election that ended with the January 6th riot. Do you honestly think that if there was evidence of voting interference that the democrats wouldn't go to court over it? Or even share the evidence?

For some reason it's maintained by Apple.

Hasn't been for a few years now, the maintained fork is OpenPrinting CUPS.

Try ramalama, it's designed to run models override oci containers
