@waifu Most of it is slop with no artistic integrity.
I guess it would be theoretically possible for there to be such with superb artwork. -

@SuperDicq @enigmatico Ironically proprietary software is so bloated that every crappy thin clients have quite good performance.
Now only if such hardware wasn't handcuffed. -

@mangeurdenuage @SuperDicq A compiler doesn't copy bad code and ensure you are not the copyright holder - it just generates assembly output from the source input. -

@HatkeshiatorTND @SuperDicq @mangeurdenuage You cannot steal code - as making a copy cannot possibly steal anything.
If you've gained a prohibited copy of the source code of proprietary software, using a compiler to compile it could be additional charges for what is deemed unauthorized modification (as you're modifying it from source form into binary from).
There are plenty of proprietary compilers still, but you would have to be insane to use such compilers.
A compiler being proprietary doesn't have any impact on the copyright status of the program it compiles, although if the compiler inserts any runtime libraries into the output, that software can be proprietary. -

@SuperDicq @xyfdi Nothing as long as it's 100% free software and has AGPLv3-or-later GNU extensions. -

@arh Only if you publish them online and free software and you trick people into telling you all the design flaws and vulnerabilities and you dastardly fix all of them. -

@divVerent Unless you are the copyright holder, you cannot relicense software.
Such informal license may be invalid and if so, the software is proprietary as there is no license.
If the license is valid, I don't see a reason why it would be incompatible with GNU licenses, as the GPLv3 for example does not force you to distribute software if you don't want to. -

@deprecated_ii I actually like the look of such bridge as it doesn't destroy the landscape too much. -

@mangeurdenuage Malware? Such exploit ideally wouldn't actually execute any code - if you can manage to overflow in a way that overwrites a text string in a display buffer, ideally your message would be displayed and nothing more. -

@eskuero It's nothing to do with LLM's or AI - those mostly use SSD's - the HDDs duopoly just gladly jacks up prices at any excuse. -

@eskuero I don't believe the slop videos are stored for very long.
Regardless, the more HDDs you make, the cheaper it is to make each unit - but why not jack up the price if the demand is such that the suckers will pay anyway? -

@phnt Leaking memory is memory safe in Rust.
Why on earth would you run Rust garbage instead of proper GNU C programs? -

@eliseo01 @lxo @lexinova Jellyfin is proprietary software, as it's a C# program.
All C# programs are proprietary software, as all of them require proprietary software from microsoft to compile and run. -

@mangeurdenuage @SuperDicq *LGPLv3-or-later
Generally businesses that sometimes license MIT expat don't want to use a license that requires the program be distributed as free software. -

@lain @SuperDicq Windows still can't read ext4 - only the GNU/Linux VM can - there is just a passthrough driver.
Virtualbox has offered such functionality for years.
