Lol, business HN look on the AGPL is truly funny,
Because its made to stop people from using the code without contributing, which is exactly what you want to do.

Also the biggest on-prem cloud system Nextcloud is under the AGPL, which has its own commercial company Nextcloud GmbH.

The point is the neo-liberals of Silicon Valley, who essentially adopt a policy of splendid isolation, have failed to protect democracy.
Some scientists think it was an axion. The articles says "one possibility". There is far from being a consensus on that.
What has happened is analogous to the Analog > Digital transition of the camera.

We are in a different era now. These programs spew out an infinite amount of garbage, so, as is the case with a camera, a human is needed to point it at a useful output.

These artists will be able to amplify their output by at least 10x if they leverage this tech, and the world will be a better place for it, because the rate of good artistic production will increase.

This rate increase may mean that the supply/demand curve gets disrupted and pay goes down, but other industries have seen the demand curve spike faster than the supply due to unforeseen market forces. If this happens, it’s a win-win for everyone.
Unsubstantiated, vague FUD - all you're missing is calling him "problematic" (remember to not describe what exactly is problematic) to really top it all off.
So you are unwilling to say what, specifically, you believe in and instead prefer to gesture vaguely.

And nope, I'm not a Twitter user. I was, until about 4 years ago. Not a Facebook user either. I was, until about a decade ago. I don't think either are particularly healthy places.
Nerdland Special: Randall Munroe (Xkcd)
This! So much...

No body is owed a platform.

I grew up in the 80s you had to be a news personality or famous to reach people.

Echo chambers weren't a thing because the chamber was your neighbors and some of them would probably laugh in your face at crazy things or slap you if it's offensive.

When you can join groups where you know it's safe to say whatever, you will, and you'll be emboldened and think that's how everyone thinks she it's dangerous to operate in the world with that level of group think, especially if the group values ignorance and conformity(fascism) over free thought, expression, and diversity.
Build.

It does not appear that these outages are due to load, so I do not follow how they are relevant to a discussion of the supply required for EVs. Perhaps a separate discussion of how PG&E sucks? (And maybe SDPL and SCE too?)

The only solution to increased demand requirements is to build more generation. I do not know what you are referring to with “currently willing to do,” but whoever needs to be willing in order to build more generation will certainly become willing at some point.

Forking is inherent to open source methodology, however many open source projects depend on a community of contributors and users to maintain the project, fund it, and push it forward.

While a simple personal fork of a repository/codebase is not very aggressive, forking a community (or attempting to) is a pretty significant step that will almost always create drama and bad feelings.

Working to communicate and resolve issues before attempting a fork of the community is always a good idea since they should be avoided when possible.

While the owners of an open source project absolutely have the legal rights to do as they wish, if those owners are interested in maintaining a community around their project, it behooves them to listen to that community, especially to those who have put their own time and effort into that project and community.
> I generally don't like open source becoming beholden to comercial interests

Yes, but there's the crux. Gitea Ltd having the domains and trademark and then setting project direction means exactly that. While before it appeared or pretended to be a fully community-driven exercise. If you are not part of the company, how can you still considered to be a community-elected Owner that acts as the project's custodian?
Buildzoid on YouTube has a very good response to this - he does not agree that the fault is the (still terrible) wires at the back of the connector.

His reasoning is that the melting is happening down at the pin end of the connector, not at the back, and the pins that are melting the most are the edge ones, not the middle ones.

There's about 10 minutes of critique of the various ways other people have been evaluating it, which is interesting for sure, but the meat starts here: https://youtu.be/yvSetyi9vj8?t=744
After archiving petabytes of inferior content, youtube is about worthless if you do not know what you are looking for. UI/UX/IQ/EQ do not apply.

Years ago, tcp/ip was cool to explore. Now, its just ad-bait for tabloid and low aptitude fodder populations.

At least on IOS, "Halt" is a good browser that blocks all youtube ads, beginning to end.

Much like grocery shopping, I only have a short list of content to view on youtube, with their algo recomendations and UI being moot for the past several years.

Even google places low quality results littered with ad-infested pages in the SERPs for inferior time suck pennies.
Well I'm at least as sorry as you are!

From your reference:

> These vagueries have since been superseded by ISO 22810:2010, in which "any watch on the market sold as water-resistant must satisfy ISO 22810 – regardless of the brand."

Following the reference, we get this:

> For example, if a watch is said to be “water resistant” to 30 meters (100 feet), this means that for all aquatic activities down to a depth of 30 meters, the watch case should not leak. The manufacturer of a water-resistant watch may offer ratings to help consumers determine the sort of environment the watch can handle.

https://www.iso.org/news/2010/11/Ref1367.html

Yours is a very common misconception though!

Seikos were always built to this standard, for the record. Since 2010, any watch marked water-resistant meets it, at least if they want to sell in Europe, but I repeat myself.

I don't think that's quite true and I don't have a copy of their terms of service from 2011. Let's apply their rules as they stand today to various artists:

"(f) the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory or the financial exploitation of a crime"

This could apply to the French author Michel Houellebecq for his novel Submission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submission_(novel)#Controversy), along with another novel by the author.

Let's not even entertain the thought of this rule applied to various rap artists in popular culture.

"(g) items that are considered obscene" & "(i) certain sexually oriented materials or services"

This could apply to a number of artists, such as Robert Mapplethorpe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mapplethorpe#Controvers...). His art was considered obscene, and prurient, yet is now exhibited in major museums.

If your enemy were to again power, or an unjust ruler, how might these laws be used against you and the culture? Just because your "side" is winning now doesn't mean that will always be the case. Just because we're now "enlightened" and we would no longer jail Galileo or throw a fuss over Mapplethorpe does not mean that will always be the case. Are the rules just? Why is a finance company policing expression on the internet? Why are we turning to a finance company for moral guidance?
There's two separate concerns:

1. Privacy of names in general

2. Treatment of people who have changed their names.

For #2 there is a specific rule dealing with deadnaming:

> If a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname), it should not be included in any page (including lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc.), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists. Treat the pre-notability name as a privacy interest separate from (and often greater than) the person's current name.
The existing state of the platform is that Side A is dominant and Side B is fringe, enforced by moderation policy. Both sides represent an approximately equal number of Americans. Elon wants to make Side B no longer fringe. Your complaint is that Side A can't take it? One word: tough. Or, to borrow a phrase I'm tired of having quoted at me: If all you've known is dominance, equality feels like oppression.
This is such a tired take. Tesla was worth, at most, a few million dollars when Elon became their largest investor. They had no products. They had no sales. He turned a $2 million company into a $700 billion company, but he's not the founder because he wasn't in the paperwork for the first year of its existence in which very little happened? Ok.

Thanks so much! I just sold my RSUs thanks to this info. Very much appreciated.
my uninformed opinion is that the original effort was largely done inside the Great Firewall of China, but the code really was open so it went elsewhere over time. Famously Github itself (which was copied identically here) was purchased by an aggressive partisan, and inside China are numerous clones of Github (to the extent they could pull it off).

As a WEIRD myself, I am heavily invested in the social concepts around F/OSS and GPL, and have super hard time with the vibe coming from PRC. Those implications are beyond the scope of this topic though, for the most part. better info welcome

I use gitea and I do some proselytizing for it.

I do care if many people who are "doing" for an OS project are not informed with or have a choice in regards to the "brand" of the project. Sure, we can all fork this project (which started out as a fork) but it would be nice of people played nice and so we can all stay with the current fork we love.

Having said all this, I need to read up on this because this might be a nothing burger. My comments are, in general, my expectations of how OS projects should work.
Iron Heart is the high end of quality denim. The lower end would be something like Unbranded.

In either case though quality fabric manufactured in first world countries is going to cost a lot more than the stuff you see at shopping malls.

It's not individual contributors responsible for bad quality.

It is corporate, investing, and all around culture that does not value quality and barely has a sense of it at all (Steve Jobs was an asshole, but he had a strong sense of quality, it doesn't matter if you agree with his choices, that's taste, it's hard to argue that things he drove apple to produce had quality)

People instead value deadlines, ever advancing middle manager careers, and tiny differences in margin percentages.

If you are paying them to do something they're supposed to do but refuse to do in a timely manner, that may be legal. It's called a facilitating payment or grease payment, and is an exception to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

I was with you until: "and fined for half their annual profits by the FCC". Not only is that not the FCC's job, but that's an insane fine for a relatively small problem. If anything, NVIDIA should be required to recall the adapters and replace them with working ones at their cost, and maybe pre-fund a settlement fund to pay out in cases of damage due to this connector.

You can, because your feedback is constructive and specific.

If you said "idk, this phone just sucks, because i feel like it does and idk how it could be made better", that would fall under "useless complaints". But saying "my phone drops calls often" is a specific complaint with a very specific (implied) improvement suggestion ("make phone not drop calls").
yeah, I've noticed that timestamp thing as well. Super annoying.
Unbranded for “cheap” quality denim, Iron Heart for high end. In general the higher the weight of the denim the longer it’ll last. 21oz denim will last a very long time.
> Everytime I see anything related to the open source world bubble up into the public I am only reminded of high school and college level social drama.

This is engineering/technical communities in general. You get a lot of strong opinions and individuals who cannot take criticism. A few, often very loud, people make a ton of noise and take up the time of the individuals actually contributing real substance to the project.

Don't like it? Fork it. Simple as that. Same with all the code of conduct nonsense that crops up a couple times a year.

If your opinions are so popular forking and moving contributors to a new project should be easy right? Yeah, turns out your opinions aren't shared by most and only the loudest of the group, no one else really cares.
This comment only applies to bug report / support request issues, but my personal rules that seem to work well are:

What happened? What did I expect to happen? What actions did I do to make it happen, or if it's an automated task then mention that.

Then list any errors/logs/etc I've already found that I think are directly relevant.

Then what I've already tried to fix it (if applicable). Then what I think should be tried.

Then any additional logs/errors/etc that I'm not sure are relevant, but also that I'm not sure are irrelevant.

So something like

"Hey I'm trying to deploy X but getting a ModuleNotFoundError for Y in the Jenkins build step. It builds successfully on my local machine. I'm running make deploy-dev and getting the error. Running make deploy-local gives no error.

This is the error [codeblock quote of the relevant error line].

Here is a link to the Jenkins output for my most recent build [link]

I've added the module to setup.py and I see Jenkins says that it installed the module [quote of Jenkins output line]. Maybe clearing the Jenkins cache would help?

This is probably not related but I see Jenkins also logged a JVM Heap Memory warning at the start of the run."

> Unfortunately for artists, I see no legal framework for them to get protection or compensation for their work.

Isn't this exactly what copyright is for?

I find it sort of hilarious how for decades the importance of "intellectual property" was hammered into the public consciousness, yet all that immediately goes out the window the moment you can make money with AI and need training data.
The fact that they think they can get away with this is evidence that possession is 9/10ths of the law. Why can't Twitter automatically pull $2500 from your bank account for objectionable tweets?
No it’s not, because none of that is unique to an open source project. Anyone can come in and use those assets. Heck, that’s the whole point of open source.

The only thing that is unique to an open source project is its reputation, and the reputation is most strongly tied with its name and trademarks.
They started this in the last generation where the founders cards had a different-but-similar connector.

In this generation, they would actually need 4x8pin to reach the 600W maximum these cards are supposed to be able to draw in a fully overclocked state, so really this just comes down to PCB space, but with the draw getting this high, the cable also has some signalling wires so the card knows how many Watts it should limit itself to.
Gitea contributor ("maintainer") here [0] - we were blindsided by the original Gitea Ltd. announcement too, but if you look at any of answers in discord regarding clarification, it's pretty clear that this is a better situation than the gitea assets being owned by a single person, and the intention is NOT to syphon money from the project or start a shillcoin or something like that.

The general consensus from us maintainers on the "Open Letter" is that it's an overreaction. It's not supported by a vast majority of the maintainers of the project and spearheaded by folks who have contributed very little. A VAST majority of folks contributing to gitea are still onboard.

We need answers. The communication was poorly handled.

The original announcement was completely bereft of details and now we finally have a draft of updated clarifications that should be posted soon (thankfully, this time we're being consulted for feedback).

I think the original intention was "we're seeing some revenue coming in and now we're workshopping ways to get those funds back to contributors and maintain the project in a sustainable way", but a lot of poorly-chosen words were used, and panic ensued.

TL;DR: give us some time to set it all straight and if it really looks like incentives are misaligned, please provide some constructive criticism.

ALSO, WE WOULD LOVE HELP & FEEDBACK FROM FOLKS WHO HAVE MAINTAINED SIMILAR PROJECTS SUCCESSFULLY

People saying “just convert to RGB” are kinda missing the point. RGB can’t be used for printing-typically you’ll send CMYK separations.

Unfortunately, the color gamut of CMYK is quite limited. If you have a print job that requires a very specific color, say, for your logo, it can be cheaper to order a black and spot color print run. If the color is out of gamut, you have to provide a spot color.

That spot color, at least in the US, was always specified in PANTONE.

To be fair everything being complained about in this thread is pretty clearly broken stuff.

And for design, I'm actually harsh over stuff like the new "top comment" box that, when clicked on, /completely removes the normal comment interface/, shrinks the video, and moves the comments to a new and otherwise-completely-unseen comment interface to the right side of the video. Which is bizarre, inexplicable user experience and a fair amount worse than simply being a weird color.

Nope, I've been meaning to do that. But honestly I'd expect the best controls to be picked by default, why am I expected to go hunting for community controls?
The value of trademarks is far more than you are making out. That value doesn't come from "how clever the name is", but from name recognition and community reputation.

The community can fork the project and rename it. However, this comes as costs of losing name recognition/reputation and creating additional drama in the community. If the issue can be resolved amicably, it is better to avoid the need for this.
