Synaptic's great. I still use it, but was disappointed to see it's not available for Fedora.

ใ€Œ@tante's decision to block LLM scrapers is consistent with his own logic, but it ended up reinforcing the asymmetry between readers who are fluent in English and those who are not. This is not just an irony. The asymmetry operates across the whole of technology discourse. Whose viewpoint is set as the default? What social relations produced that default?ใ€

Huh? You donโ€™t need an LLM to translate something. We had DeepL and Google Translate a decade before LLM was a concept. And what does it have to do with scraping? You just paste text into it or use a browser plugin.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron currently, both DeepL and Google Translate are 100% LLMs now. Before that they were using other types of Machine Learning architecture (that also used large datasets of translated language to do statistical analysis on)

Not sure where #Google asked for feedback about their developer verification program, but they surely didn't talk with #FLOSS devs, civil society, privacy organisations or their #Android users

#FDroid did since September, and interacted with folks in the Fediverse, forum, email and in person

They all voiced one opinion: "developer verification must be stopped"

๐Ÿค– "Somos ciborgs": Donna Haraway lo dijo en 1985 y 40 aรฑos despuรฉs sigue siendo radical

Su Manifiesto Cรญborg propone un feminismo que rechaza los dualismos que han servido para dominar. El ciborg es bastardo del militarismo y el capitalismo patriarcal, pero los bastardos suelen ser infieles a sus orรญgenes. โ€œLas mรกquinas estรกn en todas partes, pero son invisiblesโ€.

Si Haraway suena interesante, รฉchese un vistazo tambiรฉn a la "ecosexualidad" โ€” un movimiento similarmente radical altamente influenciado por el manifiesto cyborg. ^~

Stuff like this always feels like it reads as "We're going to wait until this fades from the public conscious so we're able to implement it without as much fuss and loss of revenue. Thank you for expending your laughably limited reserve of outrage now, so that we may bypass it in the near future."

portables and their market share are going to save us from poorly optimized games and bloat. Now that itโ€™s a market share it matters. Ultimately everyone gets a win too.
