Without algorithmic transparency how can you ensure it's not a propaganda machine?
That said tilting the algorithm isn't exclusively a TikTok problem, I would love to know how active the bots have been the last week on all the US owned social media platforms. Is there a push for division? How would we know?
He clearly states he doesn't describe himself as a Zionist but supports Zionism and a two state solution.
I guess the trouble with the Zionism label is it means different things to different people. Is it just the belief of the right of a self deterministic Jewish state or does it encompass the wider ethno-nationalistic goals of the more uncompromising members of the current Israeli government.
There are large areas of open source that don't rely on volunteer labour because companies with a vested interest pay people to work on them. They tend to be the obvious large projects that are continuously developed and gain new features. The trouble with something like xz is it was mostly "done" (as in it did the thing it was intended to do) but still needed maintenance to address the minor niggles, bug reports and updates to tooling and dependencies.
The foundations could do a better job here of supporting the maintainers. After Heartbleed the Linux Foundation started the Core Infrastructure Initiative to help fund those under recognised projects. I would hope the people running that could be more proactive identifying those critical understaffed components.
Edit I think it's now called the Open Source Security Foundation: https://openssf.org/
OFC! I should have noticed the bumps and ear rings.
I think I get the references apart from panel 2. Any clues?
Your talking about their discretionary powers and that's not going to be relevant on a protest enforcement action where their senior officer in command will have laid out exactly what the criteria to arrest is.
Nothing trivial? The Chilcot enquiry was held over a year and a bit with over a hundred witness sessions. This is Corbyn's prejudged media expose.
Was it before or after Oracle acquired Sun that the fork happened? I'm fairly sure it was Oracle that passed the project across to Apache and I have no idea why the Apache foundation accepted it.
Heh I was one of the 12 people who actually brought a Falcon. Sadly I don't think I ever made the most of it. It took me years to get documentation on how to load code onto the DSP and by that point I got my first PC.
I run thousands of pieces of software and I have no idea what the political leanings of the developers are. Obviously I know about the main Lemmy developers because this seems to be a recurring topic here. However why would I start caring about these particular developers now?
There have been developers who have done shady things in their projects and it usually torpedoes the trust in the project and people fork and move away. However whatever I may think about the Lemmy developers politics I have no reason to believe they are doing nefarious things in their software.
Yeah I don't think this is an ncdu issue but something is broken with the OPs system.
I don't need to get through winter, I just need to get from dusk to when the cheap energy is starts. Currently that's about 4kwh - or a small portion of my car battery before or recharges on the cheap rate.
