The TLDR here, IMO is simply stated: the OSAID fails to require reproducibility by the public of the scientific process of building these systems, because the OSAID fails to place sufficient requirements on the licensing and public disclosure of training sets for so-called “Open Source” systems. The OSI refused to add this requirement because of a fundamental flaw in their process; they decided that “there was no point in publishing a definition that no existing AI system could currently meet”. This fundamental compromise undermined the community process, and amplified the role of stakeholders who would financially benefit from OSI's retroactive declaration that their systems are “open source”. The OSI should have refrained from publishing a definition yet, and instead labeled this document as ”recommendations” for now.

Can Turkey ask for any account/post to be banned regardless of where a post was written?

One can always ask and when it comes to countries, it depends on how convincing they can get. Legally speaking (IANAL), I believe that it's within countries' right to ask regardless of where the author is from if a content violates their local laws.

My issue with this is that, especially as a foreigner living abroad, I cannot always answer which shop might have the items I’m looking for.

I wish Google Maps allowed searching for shops by their inventory, like it does searching for restaurants by their menu. Even better, an open web protocol like RSS where shop websites can communicate to all crawlers what items are being sold where and which are out of stock, so that it’s not a Google Maps monopoly but an ecosystem…

Are there any iOS apps?

I feel very similar with regard to blockchains, however I didn’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think (or rather hope) that there are some cryptocurrencies/blockchains that are actually useful/interesting to discuss. Certainly agreeing with you though.

Consider it at least federated? :)

I've an account on dbzer0 too and often lurk there as well, however I wasn't sure about its longevity given the amount of piracy-related activity going on there.

!decentralization@lemmy.world

(relative link | absolute link)

What

All things and everything about decentralization: news, announcements, proposals, and discussions about decentralized apps, protocols and communities.

  • decentralized web (dweb)
  • peer-to-peer (P2P)
  • file-sharing (e.g., BitTorrent, IPFS, and Gnutella)
  • self-hosting
  • federation (e.g., ActivityPub/Fediverse and Bluesky)
  • federated apps (e.g., Mastodon, Lemmy, and Pixelfed)
  • cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin and Ethereum)

Why

I've noticed that although a lot of people are interested in decentralization, there aren't many forums where people can share news and discuss and develop projects together. Reddit used to have /r/Rad_Decentralization, /r/DarknetPlan and so on but the 2023 Reddit API controversy was the the final nail in their coffin.

What’s wrong with GitLab?

You mean how much faster downloading vector tiles are in comparison to raster tiles?

I think pre-rendering makes the biggest difference, rather than the type of tiles.

The author is talking about the server use-case here but it’s not any better for desktops either. I think it boils down to the fact that neither of these operating systems are designed for a single-user world like Android (or any other modern mobile OS) and so these security solutions are shoehorned into a world where they don’t really fit into. Because those (server or desktop) programmes have different set of expectations about what’s available to them, than say, an Android app that knows that it has to ask for permission first.

ActivityPub :) People spend an incredible amount of time on social media—whether it be Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, and YouTube—so it’d be nice to liberate that.

Probably meant CSAM (child sexual abuse material) instead.
