Ich: "Eigentlich würde ich total gern mehr zu Freier und Offener Software bei der und durch die öffentliche Hand machen, das klingt total sinnvoll."

Auch ich: "Mit welchen anderen Stakeholdern im Raum müsste ich dann nach der Wahl vermutlich professionell bleibend zusammenarbeiten‽"

🥺😬

Ernsthaft Leute, wie macht ihr das? Geht ein großer Teil des Einkommens für Psychotherapie drauf? Intervisionsgruppe im Team?

@vaurora @robin Best of luck to y'all, I still don't dare, FOSDEM is ... a few steps too crowded. 🙂 Would love to see you in person!

(My career says I should also adjust my risk profile, but, uh, I'm so far resisting that and rather taking that hit.)

@jwildeboer None of the models in question are actually Open Source. :-)
Best we're getting so far are open weights.

But interestingly, one of the arguments against "fully" open in the past always was "you couldn't pay for the training anyway".

If #DeepSeek is real though, at 6mil? Yes, why, indeed, *many* organizations actually could pay for it.

@jwildeboer I think unfortunately, as Mastodon / Fediverse grew and matured, they became both easier to access (meaning we see more of a ... less filtered cross-section of the population at large) as well as more relevant targets for troll (individuals, farms, and AI fakes).

I'm often thinking about how to counter that short of just blocking (which doesn't really take the content off).

Remember that your existential fear and collapsing society must not distract you from contributing your labor to the progress of the torment nexus.

Stay professional.

It's another day to tap the sign.

#TransRightsAreHumanRights #BillionairesShouldNotExist

Someone just told me that Jack's networth is nobody's business at #FOSDEM.

I disagree: there's no ethical/moral way to become a billionaire, much less remain one.

Commercial events might get away with defining "politics" as "out of scope" (ignoring the fact that that in itself is a political stance, and not a great one), but a truly public community event has to cope.

Plus, decisions by event organizers absolutely are subject to scrutiny.

@ploum Yes. That campaign is completely ridiculous.

I think it's perfectly possible that ATproto addresses some issues with AP. I never spent the time to understand that part.

Because I stopped caring when they kept it closed initially and didn't make federation (as in, actual federation happening across meaningful boundaries) part of the MVP.

@bagder Maybe it's as aspirational as the promise/lie that BSky is open and federated?

@Fischblog Das Deutsche Technikmuseum ist ausgesprochen interessant, inklusive Sonderausstellung zur frühen Informationsverarbeitung und in allen Themenbereichen werden Lektionen aus den Weltkriegen, der (letzten) Nazi-Zeit, etwas Kolonialismus, und der deutschen Teilung sichtbar.

Es wäre extrem wünschenswert, wäre Merz für die Leitung einer solchen Anstalt qualifiziert.

@pluralistic Unionize along the way.

@Gargron Eugen, the OWNER OF THREADS and the entire platform guidelines violate "our policies". It's not about a single account.

Do they still meet the federation requirements? .online and .social already don't federate with many instances that explicitly allow and/or even target certain audiences and content.

Bit difficult to believe that #LibreOffice Sheets doesn't have a native function for converting Unix timestamps to dates, or accept "Unix timestamp" as a date format.

@ianb @lproven No tables? I'm pretty sure I've done tables in LO, or is that something I'm misunderstanding?

@LaF0rge Das würde sowas wie den STF - sorry, die STA 🤩 - eigentlich ganz interessant ergänzen ...

Warum gibt es eigentlich keine VG Freie Software? 🤔

#depol

@tante Fascinating. Instead of insisting that - at the very least - those "chatbots" get better, the documentation is dumbed down for them.

You couldn't make this timeline up.

@dalias @sunny @bagder Yes, but public services like OpenAI need to refuse such queries too.

So rein hypothetisch wäre es ja sehr unterhaltsam, würde #Scholz bei der Vertrauensfrage selbiges wieder ausgesprochen bekommen.
