I'm sure removing these maintainers would be of great help to the Ukrainian war effort...
More seriously: We need to help Ukraine more. But this doesn't do that. It just hurts a bunch of people (both the maintainers, and the people using their code) for no benefit whatsoever.
What if you arrive early, didn't do online check-in, and have to wait for the check-in desk to open? It maybe I don't understand what you mean by "drop-off area".
I guess it's simply the framing: It was a not very actively maintained open source project. So they've decided to turn it over to a new maintainer. Calling that 'donation' is a bit pushing it
I'm confused - why is Microsoft trying to - or expected to, by the article authors - patch a vulnerability in GRUB?
On the one hand, doas is simpler. Less code means less bugs, and lower chance someone manages to hack it and gain admin rights. On the other hand, sudo is more popular, and so has a lot more people double-checking its security. Ultimately, I don't think it matters - when someone unauthorized gains admin rights, usually it's not due to bug in sudo or doas, but other problems.
AI that can auto generate all those command line arguments I keep forgetting? Sure.

Well, Columbus himself didn't conquer much. He established a few settlement, but the real conquering was done by others.

I don't know why you would expect a pattern-recognition engine to generate pseudo-random seeds, but the reason OpenAI disliked the prompt is that it caused GPT to start repeating itself, and this might cause it to start printing training data verbatim.
competition too intense
dangerous technology should not be open source
So, the actionable suggestions from this article are: reduce competition and ban open source.
I guess what it is really about, is using fear to make sure AI remains in the hands of a few...
I don't see how blockchain (in this case) adds any value over a federation like Matrix.
To me, the smaller userbase is actually a real problem. I'm willing to stick it out and hope it grows. But for over half of the subreddits I subscribe to, the corresponding lemmy communities have 0 posts this last week.
Yes, I don't need 10k comments on my posts. But memes or mainstream news was never the big value of reddit for me - I can get these anywhere. Instead it is about the niche communities with a few thousand subscribers. And for now, I still have to use reddit for them.
As someone who has no knowledge of the ecosystem: Why would people who self-host wordpress care about access to wordpress.org? Isn't the point of self-hostung to use your own infrastructure?
