@gnomealex Thanks for the update to this exciting project!

@ljrk Actually, Oracle has done an amazing job with Java. They have put in more resources than Sun Microsystems ever did and increased community participation. Java is better now than it ever was under Sun Microsystems.

OpenAI threatening to leave the EU if they pass legislation requiring them to list their data sources because:
"In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges."

Like every other boom tech company, it's just doing labor crimes and theft and claiming you're actually too innovative to be regulated, God.

@TheCodeLorax @geerlingguy Finally, a fair assessment. Oracle is just using this for publicity. If the roles were reversed, they would have never allowed the source code to be available anywhere as long as Red Hat did.

@Magnifico OpenZFS is an extremely advanced filesystem which offers, among other things:

* Built-in multiple drive and volume support
* Support for arrays larger than "every hard drive on the planet put together*
* Per-block cryptographic data validation hashes
* *Automatic* repair of corrupt data using said hashes
* Inline compression, multiple algorithms supported
* Native encryption
* INSANELY fast replication
* Instantaneous atomic snapshots

And more. These are $1M SAN features, in FOSS.

@Gargron The biggest gap for Twitter users is the weak initial experience when it comes to finding content. Lowering the bar will help here. Things like seeing popular posts and recommending similar liked accounts will do far.

This week marks 18 months since I have been using a #librem5 as a daily driver. The first few months were probably the roughest, but I have not needed to use Android at all in those 18 months.

Today, I actually find it quite useable! It just works as a phone, and I can do everything I used to do on my Android Phone on it.

Even though people thought bird.makeup would die this weekend with the login wall, it's actually more popular than ever!

The process I use to get information from Twitter still works but has a 40% percent error rate it seems. It's also much higher for accounts followed for the first time. It's very likely that's it's coming from their internal service being flaky and not actual ban enforcement. I'll see over the week if this improves otherwise I'll start figuring workarounds for those cases.

@payarafish Why haven't there been any new posts on your Mastodon account? It seems like the Twitter one has newer information

@gfxstrand Thanks for taking the time to share that insight! I appreciate it!

@gfxstrand Thanks for the update! It is amazing how fast it is progressing.
Was there any decision on the approach for the OpenGL driver? Will a brand new Gallium based OpenGL driver be written or will Zink be used?
