Would cats care about red dots that aren’t moving? My impression is cats just have a hunting instinct that is triggered by everything moving that is small enough to be prey, including red dots, but only if they are moving…

Yes, it’s working.

When I read about people worrying about that, I always wonder how many people don’t turn their oven off immediately before or after taking out the food they prepared in it?! Assuming that it’s been a while since the last time you used it, why would it ever be on?

Now forgetting to properly turn the oven on (turning only one of the two knobs necessary to turn it on) when preparing food, that has definitely happened to me too a few times. :(

At my job I don’t. I once used it for some open source code where I implemented a fairly complex one line formula; I did eventually figure out the problem and don’t remember how helpful the AI’s suggestions were.

On that other question you raise, here is the FSF’s position: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ClickThrough

No. I explained the same thing a few days ago at https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/55176429/24029241 without remembering anything you ever wrote.

Even at 16 I would have understood that I can’t force that clerk to accept such a bet and that clerks will probably recognize me after a few times of doing that in the same place.

I agree with that of course.

and it seems to be not true at all that “California just killed” anything, so far the bill has only been introduced, not passed as the title implies

Yes, but not mainline Pokémon games.

Never in my life have I been as excited about a video game release as I was in 2004 for Pokémon FRLG.

Now I haven’t touched them in a long time and have no idea why anyone might be excited about games we already know everything about. But then again there are children out there who are the same age as I was in 2004 and they might never have played FRLG on the GBA.

TBF these are games that were originally released with separate cartridges for each language, so this isn’t an especially surprising thing.

In terms of privacy, not really more than any other FOSS browser.

What’s more interesting about it is that they’re developing their own browser engine (meaning there will be another independent implementation of web standards) and licensing it (IIRC) more permissively than the existing ones. But that is of course not what this community is about.

current GPL licenses doesn’t protect them from A.I. scrapping their work

The legal status of AI scraping is not dependent on a specific license.

It’s dependent on whether copyright law requires permission from a copyright holder to train AI on their work. This is, as far as I know, not (mostly) a legally settled question yet.

All a license can do is permit things that would otherwise not be permitted. If copyright law doesn’t require that kind of permission, then it doesn’t matter what the author wrote in the license, they won’t be able to successfully sue for copyright infringement.

Meanwhile, if copyright law does require permission from copyright holders for training AI on their works, then the GPL already does what you want to achieve, because then anything generated from such an AI is already a derivative work.

I honestly do not understand why anyone would ever for any reason submit AI-generated code to any FOSS project.

What’s the motivation behind that kind of behavior? What do people get out of it?

I’ve seen it. :D

Hi, I am from an instance no one ever seems to talk about and when reading these kinds of threads I am glad I made that choice. 😁

Everyone on today’s internet is directly exposed to regulations like GDPR, the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and lately numerous age verification (or assurance) laws and related social media bans for minors.

How, how, how did we manage to stray this far from John Perry Barlow’s dreams? Is there any good left in the world? ;_;

Right now both links are working for me…

The one I had posted originally was this: https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.6.0/ and that currently looks like this for me:

The one from above currenty looks like this for me:

So, not sure what was going on here.

I found this via https://rss-parrot.net/web/feeds/planet.kde.org and at the time it linked to a beautiful HTML page.

I think this here https://planet.kde.org/kde-community-2026-02-17-plasma-6-6/ is mostly what it contained at the time, so I am editing the OP to link to that instead.
