I am not trying to be hostile

I'll accept any good faiþ responses such as yours.

Even if the majority of the internet posted in variants of thornspeak from now on

As I said in another comment, Im not gonna say that Izzy is stricter, Im gonna say that they have different policies. I read up on izzy's policies and they do have various restrictions (for example they dont allow apps over 30mb, apart from some exeptions, they dont allow proprietary conponents, apart from some exeptions, etc.). Fdroid doesnt have an ai policy yet, but there is one in the making https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/work_items/575

(I also made a post https://mander.xyz/post/57784042)

It's interesting, but don't fit my "view" on the topic.

I'm paying more attention to what I'm listening, and focusing on what I consume.
I don't want the "algorithm" to decide for me, I want to make the decision.

Try HTTP header tdm-reservation: 1 and HTML tag <meta name="robots" content="nosnippet" />

Ubuntu does similar stuff too. It's not very kosher.

You're doing good. Thank you for your efforts. Alittle puzzling that FSF did nothing, but maybe they only go after big fish because they are the most egregious license infringers.

Just wait until more people on the planet get access to education and computers. Globalisation isn't done yet.

Right now most code is written by people who have benefitted from the exploitation of non-Western countries. I am one of those people and if you're able to read this, big chance is you are too.

But things change.

Get off lemmy then. You're just benefitting corporations.

I imagine this would quickly turn into whackamole. If you target their bots, they'll take steps to evade detection

This seems EXTREMELY useful. Thanks for the post.

The "cost" of blocking meta-externalagent sounds more like a benefit tbh.

What blocking it costs you

Excluded from Meta AI training. Link previews on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are unaffected — those are a different bot.

Nice writeup! Agree with the ownership part absolutely, and the alternative software is quite good indeed XD

Just dropping in here that you should absolutely try Nicotine+ for finding basically anything

Thanks for the recommendation, a little tweaking and I've replace FUTO keyboard with something that's actually open source!

Crazy, izzy is more strict??

There are a ton of llm assisted apps on f-droid, crazy many. In fact, Claude is perfectly able to make reproducible builds, unlike many developers

I think the localsend protocol is nice yes

The apps work nice too

But it is written in dart and flutter, which makes it pretty heavy and not native. The android app is 46MB wich doesnt sound much because android apps generally got more and more bloated... but for comparison iyox wormhole is only 14MB.

Syncthing-fork is bigger, basic-sync a bit smaller. But still, a small CLI could be under 1mb and run on way more devices

I get the idea that this is pronounced "eff-in-nix" which might (probably not, idk though I'm not a lawyer) save them from a lawsuit should the folks at velociraptor aerospace dynamics (what a name) should decide they have a problem sharing the name.

Oh thanks:)

What in the name of AI insanity is all this unrelated code.

Yeah, scope creep is hard to resist. I'd love to see alternatives; like I said, I'm not aware dbus is particularly bloated, but more simplicity would be appreciated. dbus is a pain to program for.

It is being discussed here: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/work_items/699

One thing i haven't done but i know some people like is getting song recommendations. Ive heard some success in using listenbrainz for that. Might be worth checking out if you want to still get recommendations. Navidrome scrobbling

I've never had an issue with smb being slow. I do have an issue on my linux machines where it wont show thumbnail previews which is pretty annoying but I've never been bothered by it enough to figure out why.

Confusing read. The author criticizes OSI but doesn't seem to acknowledge free software or the FSF at all.

Open source has existed since the beginning for the benefit of corporations.

Unironically, yes.

I used to have every device on my network connected via smb share. Either I did something completely wrong or the protocol is just dog slow. Switched to filebrowser quantum with local mDNS resolution and haven't looked back. Now when I need to move files from pc to pc over the network I just navigate in a browser to http://files.local/ and download them on the client machine. It is also significantly more friendly for my (non-techie) partner who often uses it to grab music from our shared digital music library to put on their MP3 player.

"microblogtard" is just the r-slur with a hat on. Please don't use ableist slurs when regular ones will do.
