@souldessin @vokainen099 @xianc78 basically foss needs to rethink a lot to stay sustainable in the broader market so we aren't solely depending on the fsf as a cornerstone for our success. something else to worry about is maintaining a release schedule for updates, which (in your example) libreoffice would have to figure out on their end how to enter contracts with these businesses

@souldessin @vokainen099 @xianc78 the trick there is for those software projects to distribute physical copies so that it *does* introduce production and logistic costs. pretty much a loophole for that shitty system

NVIDIA trading like bitcoin right now. I might buy some here, but in bitcoin land I'd wait several days post-crash before buying. Falling knives and all that.
It's interesting to see the reaction specifically by NVIDIA to DeepSeek. Why? DeepSeek was trained on NVIDIA cards. Does this mean analysts are pricing in the idea that H100s is all you really need for frontier models. CapEx is done?
I don't think so. LLMs are not the end game of AI training. They're not even that good, yet.

>i'm someone interested in bridging this gap, but nobody gave me enough interest to support my direction, and i never had enough money in my pocket to put toward initial funding myself.
And the worst part about it is that there are organizations that could do it but choose not to. Disroot has been around for a decade now, runs on entirely free software, and is funded 100% by donations (some features are ONLY available if you donate though), but their ToS prohibits commercial use of their services with a few exceptions. I understand not wanting huge corpos using your service, but I see no problem with small businesses using it.

@vokainen099 My Dad works in public education. The distract he worked for switched to Gmail a decade ago because of some law that required emails to be stored on their servers for 7 years and they didn't have the infrastructure to handle that.

Is there a single school, college, or university left that doesn't rely on Microsoft or Google for emails, calender, etc?

The fact this guy and Larry Ellison, who is pushing digital ID and says AI surveillance will force us all to be on our "best behavior", were platformed day 1 at the White House and the executive branch is touting their outsized role in US AI infrastructure should be major cause for concern.
When the powers that be realized that many Americans would resist a "great reset", they obviously noticed that most were expecting it from the public sector so now it's implementation is going to come from the private, likely via public-private partnership. People misunderstand the WEF and what it does IMO, but it's most obvious and overt goal as a group is facilitate digital transformation and the 4IR (ie the "great reset") via the public-private partnership model.
Public-private partnerships do not beget a true free market, they beget crony capitalism and produce state adjacent corporate monopolies and quasi-monopolies.
Yet, expect that many of those "great reset" policy agendas to be marketed as "free merket/private sector innovation." Expect some of the ind media figures who claimed to be against the "great reset" now support its very policies under different sales pitches.
Vigilance matters most when many vocal opponents to these agendas have been distracted and/or pacified.

Plandemics in the near future:
They got everything wrong for "COVID". Deliberately. And contradicting all published pandemic plans. Now they run whitewash public inquiries designed to enforce a conclusion that they should have done all the same shit harder and faster.
So the plan for 2025 is to run plandemic simulations based on the rigged public inquiry conclusions. Do you think the priority in the these simulations will be disease prevention, anti-virals, accurate statistics, honest public communication, medical freedom and individual rights?
Or like the Event 201 COVID simulation in 2019, will the priority be population control, social media messaging, hard and fast lockdowns, rushed and coerced injections, and total control of the internet?

@gabriel I've heard that it's open source. If that's the case, hopefully someone would fork it to remove any CCP biases (I don't want ANY biases).

@mario Also, if you get an Android retro console, you can play "windows games" using Winlator.
Playing games from GOG works nice, even AAA games like Skyrim
