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.

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.

Matthias Clasen has written a post on the GTK blog about recent changes in the accessibility implementation of the toolkit, as well as improvements in the tooling planned for the 4.12 release: https://blog.gtk.org/2023/06/21/evolving-accessibility/

Instagram blocked the #joinPixelfed hashtag not long ago, and Twitter too.

Don't forget that 😉

At long long last, RADV finally has ray tracing pipelines enabled by default!!! 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳

The MR just got merged into Mesa main. I also wrote a small blog post about it: https://pixelcluster.github.io/RADV-Raytracing-ON/
