If you pick a FOSS license then your project is FOSS. The number of developers doesn’t matter.

I moved all my (meager bullshit) personal projects to Codeberg awhile ago. My stuff was already open source, but I did explicitly add some license files I neglected to add before just to make it clear. So far so good.

Before you archive your Github repos make sure to update them with one last commit explaining that the repo has moved to somewhere else (and potentially why). Once you lock the repo you can’t make changes. If you straight-up delete them then this isn’t an issue.

There’s no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, “bots that aren’t paying us.”

I had a dog who developed seizures. Low dose phenobarbital solved the issue thankfully. It was a little inconvenient because he required regular liver tests and also, phenobarbital being a controlled substance, I had to buy it at a regular pharmacy. But other than that it was fine, much better than the seizures. He had no issues until he died (years later) of unrelated problems stemming from old age.

I was thinking Khorne wasn’t appropriate for the USA because Khorne cares about honorable combat. Then I thought Nurgle because we’re all fat and sick and because of the ivermectin brain-worms shit, but no, Nurgle is actually an avuncular and loving god in his own way. Tzeentch actually plans stuff and thinks ahead.

I think its a Slaanesh cult. The elites are all pedos, the propaganda is obsessed with genitalia, the populace doesn’t give a shit as long as the treats flow.

They exist, they’re just more corporate and centralized, and inundated with basic tech support questions due to the huge install base.

Like this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/windows

If you dig deep enough in there you’ll find administrators talking about powershell hacks and devops and group policy and stuff like that. There’s probably people who are “passionate” about Windows, I’d imagine, but since it’s closed source there’s only so much you can do without being literally an employee of MS. The people I’ve met like this are kind of smugly defensive about Windows because they’ve invested so much training and knowledge into its arcana, but it’s not exactly “passion”.

CLI installation guide is perfect, thank you.

Thanks, I plan on doing this when my phone dies. Just some questions:

A computer with a Chromium-based browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi?). Unfortunately, I must recommend Windows 10/11 here, because then you don’t have to mess around with any drivers; it’s the simplest option.

This is the first I’ve read this, how much of a pain is it to use Linux instead? I don’t have any Windows computers.

First of all, we need to make sure that our phone’s software is updated to the latest available version. For this purpose, we go to Settings -> System -> System update. If necessary, we update

How is this possible if the previous step skipped SIM and Wifi setup? I assume, if there’s updates, to setup Wifi then proceed?

securing the phone with a fingerprint; I personally am an advocate of this solution…

Recommend not doing this for users in the USA, as police can compel you to unlock biometric locks. Yes, it’s fucked up, that’s what happens when octogenarian fascists run all three branches of your government.

New Year’s Resolution: I’m going to “reform” my body by going from obese to morbidly obese.

I’m not sure I buy the McDonald’s worker story, the whole narrative of the arrest seems really bizarre. (Not that I eat their shit food, one way or another.)

Hic tamen vivit.

It’s from here:

They are, if you scroll to the bottom of the github repo that OP posted there are some examples of what works and doesn’t work to break it.

Watermark data like this is stored in the least significant bits of the pixels themselves, or in the case of OPs example, they do a frequency decomposition on the image then store the watermark data in the coefficients. Basically you have to trash the pixel data at least a little bit to defeat it. So cropping or flipping the image won’t do it, but resizing or rotating with some kind of filtering will.

I have no idea how the machine-learning technique listed there is working, and their documentation link is broken :(

Also Dr Who. Our school had a kid who wore a big Tom Baker scarf and hat everyday. I hope he’s doing well.

I’ve tried, it sucks. Each broker has their own process, often several steps, and often a step is broken (like server errors, can’t get past a captcha, “try again later”, etc). You end up not just having to do the process, but also follow up with many of the ones that are ambiguous or returned server errors or whatnot. I did the top 8 or so brokers and then stopped.

Not from this year specifically (but I only saw it this year): The Polish hackers who uncovered the train manufacturer’s repair shenanigans.

I was listening to a best-selling author’s recent audiobook, and the professional voice actress messed this one up. So you’re in good company. Really, who can we blame but the Greeks?

Mastodon.art has a small but nice community. AI art isn’t allowed. Someone could always lie, I guess, but the community is small enough that engagement bait isn’t really a thing, there’s much larger mastodon instances those people would probably use. They also aggressively defederate fascists.

YouTube offers random A/B testing of titles and thumbnails now, and unfortunately the clickbait/red circle/soy face stuff absolutely does work. Everyone seems to agree that the “metric has ceased to be a good measure” when it comes to the algorithm, but it’s so opaque and omnipotent that people who can’t afford for their videos to be buried have no choice.

YouTube doesn’t just reward you for doing it, you are actively punished for not doing it. The same way one “underperforming” video can have cascading negative effects on your entire channel.

I can’t imagine relying on it for my family’s income. Google basically has hundreds of thousands of people doing spec work for them.

Pre-COVID. I wonder what it’s like now. Anecdotes from people who work in education seem to say it was pretty devastating for child development, but it’s hard to tell if it’s above and beyond the perennial “this new generation is totally fucked” sentiment.
