There is a bit of underlying problem, though. Case in point: I was recently asked to make a js function that converts any string into a hex color, which I promptly just copied off stackoverflow, but noticed they now intercept Ctrl-C to add CC-BY-SA banner. I’d usually include a link whenever I copy something off somewhere anyway, if not for licensing sake then at least for ease of future code navigation. But this got me curious, I asked ChatGPT the same question and it provided the exact same snippet, but without any attribution. And so did gemini and qwen 3.5. You can tell its a copy because the original uses a very specific bit-shift by 5 to mix numbers up a bit, but it doesnt have to be exactly 5, or even shifted at all for that matter. Which got me even more curious, so I went to github and searched for “string to hex” and found the exact same snippet in projects licensed under a variety of licenses, which I’m pretty sure are all just careless copies of that stackoverflow snippet, though it’s not improbable that one of them is actually the one that got copied into that anwser in the first place. Now, for that particular one, I doubt that it reaches threshold of originality to be held in court, but it highlights an issue that makes this double AI conversion trick you described dubious and not-so-bulletproof as second would probably give the same result anyway, just because it almost definitely had to be trained on the copyleft infringing copies… Unless they actually clean-labbed an enormous dataset for it themselves.

Oh, and just as a final experiment, I did try to actually code it up myself. Despite already seeing an implementation, and without that much room for variety, without even trying, I made something that bears no resemblance to that snippet whatsoever, and most likely would’ve ended with the same code without ever seeing that snippet the first place. And from experience interviewing developers and live-coding with them, no two people write the same code, even for simplest of tasks. So… yeah, nah, I don’t buy the “AI does the same thing humans do” any more than the “forklift does the same thing as humans do”. I hope courts do as well, or, at least, this AI craze finally leads to copyright abolishment, it doesn’t really make any sense for both to exist…

So, PRT, then?

They didn’t check licenses in any way, as it did reproduce the famous quake fast inverse square root function, comments included. And quake, like majority of github projects, is published under GPL, which requires all copies and modifications to be published under GPL as well, after which all sane enterprises have banned copilot usage.

Though, we’re not living in sane times anymore. Chatgpt, gemini, deepseek, claude, all reproduce copylefted code left and right. Realistically, Stallman should’ve been rolling in cash by now…

It’s not, just a case of “if it’s not broke don’t fix it”. Linux has been on mailing lists since the 90s, while codeberg isn’t even a decade old. Even github is half the age of linux. Pros: Simple as hell, decentralized by design, infinitely customizable. Cons: No fancy UI.

Most ASUS-es use MUX chip nowadays. “Ultimate” in Armory Crate, “AsusMuxDgpu” in supergfxctl, and I think “high-performance” in system76-power, is dGPU-primary mode where it drives the panel directly, and iGPU just sits there doing nothing and could even be completely disabled, if so desired.

Dunno, every single major problem I had in the last couple of years (including few month on windows) were caused by bad AMD drivers. Had to switch to wayland in large part to avoid that goddamn hw_done/flip_done timeout bug. And still, if anything tries to use VA-API it freezes the entire desktop with amdgpu_cs_ioctl reports "not enough memory for command submission". And it also recently started to not recognize the monitor plugged into it after booting, saying kernel: workqueue: dm_irq_work_func [amdgpu] hogged CPU for >10000us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND, so I have to re-plug it a few times for it to start working.

Nvidia, on the other hand? Not a single hitch so far.

Given that there are amps and AIO synth, I assume this is meant to be a high school band rehearsal place? Then the drummer should already have that place’s kit set up for him, it’s not like they can even afford their own, nevermind the bags for it.

Federation is kinda clunky, there is no way to see content posted before you federated, same with upvotes, so top of all time is different across communities. But most annoying of all is that to see the communities you have to paste the full link into search. Big instances can rely on some of the users doing it but for single user instance you have to go to bigger instances and see their list of communities and copy-paste the links into your instance search bar, otherwise you cant see any new posts from those.

Selfhosting, yeah!

actually selfhosting lemmy kinda sucks don’t bother unless you have to

Is this that weird credit score indicator thingy that people post every once in a while?

God? Even calling it consciousness would be a huge stretch.

Weird. Chugging cola from gallon jugs sounds like the most American thing one could think of, strange it’s not a thing yet. Also never understood why Americans buy milk in jugs. Isn’t this like the one thing you actually want to be in the smallest container possible? Do people drink that much milk, or are they commonly tossed unfinished when it inevitably spoils?
