Gross. It uses AI to publish bullshit.
Do not want.

That seems like an optional feature that competing products have.
I'd rather the fediverse friendly open source version have features I won't use, if it means it can continue to grow and compete with the proprietary ones
If amazon sold stolen credit cards or murder-for-hire, would you say "that seems like an options feature that I won't use"?
No, because things that are designed to cause harm shouldn't be tolerated. We have enough problems with misinformation here. Let's not encourage tools that make it worse.
It's not Gross because that feature is optional.
Except it harms our ecosystem?
Selfhosted Mastodon instances, not only Mastodon social, Misskey and forks, friendica...
Closing registrations would be a must have too. At the moment you can not disable public registrations 😔
Iso27002 fail.
- docker kills validation, so we can't assure consistency as we're essentially dividing by plaid.
npmcan't be run in prod due to inconsistency of upstream, and dev tools which are verboten in stage/prod.
Wait till you see how Lemmy and piefeed are installed. Its a security nightmare here on the fediverse.
What do you mean? Also, since when is npm bad to use in production?
Lol since forever? It doesn't verify the authenticity of anything it downloads, so its vulnerable to supply chain attacks.
Pip and crates has the same problem.
Maven is the only programing language package manager I know of that does. Otherwise, OS package managers like apt are secure, od course.
Sure but plenty of processes to make it workable exist. Companies like Microsoft, Netflix and parts of Google rely on NPM (firsthand experience at all these).
So it sounds kind of insane to say nom can't be used in production.
They're exposing themselves to risk. Fortunately for them, they dont care about protecting the data of their customers.
If you say so
Nowadays I don't like it if software "uses AI". When I hear "AI", I imagine that hype with fidget spinners and NFTs that we had, useless (for me) feature that will consume too much resources and take up more space, also AI's often proprietary and don't have their own open source code. It sounds like it's useless and a little bit childish. In fact, it also seems that it doesn't do anything helpful like automation, it's just generate text "out of nowhere" (as far as I know). So this is my frustration. But anyway, if it's open source, good, keep it up!
