To be honest all this is going to do is make people not be honest about using AI.. you people want transparency but the route your taking will only hide the fact people are using AI because 1000% bet you people can NOT tell human code from properly iterated and tested AI code, and now these coders because I again 1000% the people using AI properly are actual coders to be able to get the AI to produce code you won't be able to tell if its human or not

Quoting: Stellaso much time and effort went into distro packages that could've been used to make the flatpak better😫

The entire point to their improvements is so you DON'T have to depend on distro packaging.. simply download their package and never have to manually update it or reinstall it. and TBF the vast majority of us refuse to use flatpak /snap when there is a perfectly fine native package

Quoting: LoudTechieYour boss can't fire you any moment he likes, yet you still fear his power.
The same is true for politicians.

Actually, here in Canada, your boss CAN fire you any moment he likes. I know as I used to be a business owner and employer. There is a whole list of government-proscribed reasons why you cannot be fired (race, gender, theft without proof, layoff if he rehires, etc.) but your boss can still fire you without providing any reason at all.

Where politicians are concerned, unless they commit a crime, they are safe until the next election which gives them a safety net that relies on the voter's notoriously short memory. The party system doesn't help, because voters sometimes overlook individual foibles in favor of their preferred political party. So politicians have a lot less to fear from their "employers" (the voters).

Myself, where politicians are concerned, I don't have a short memory.

Okay, my boss can't fire me any moment he likes and I still fear his power(since firing someone after their introduction period, without a government whitelisted reason and proof is illegal).
That's crazy.

I don't know where you live but in most places your boss CAN fire you anytime they please

Quoting: eggroleWhen these things happen (I suspect it is only a matter of time) IMHO the only valid response is to boycott the companies restricting access. Petitions and voting new "leaders" in doesn't seem to work. Violence is always an option, but a terrible one.

Boycotting a few companies into bankrupcy sends a clear message. And given how much hemming and hawing goes on about economics and GDP, I think it is the only language these people understand. Want to restrict the internet, suffer economic losses. All of a sudden the legislature becomes much more receptive and the companies themselves will start actually pushing back because it will now be existential.

people that think voting folks out doesn't work is why we have lazy a$$ people UNWILLING to hold their representatives accountable.. those fools get paid to be in office you threaten their livelihood they will listen when enough people are threatening them

Age verification laws NEED repeal because thats where all this current Bullsh*t started.. and folks NEED to be hounding their representatives to do so and to NOT vote for these laws or risk getting voted out.. but seems to me most of FOSS is staying silent on ALL of these issues and debating how to comply???!! Like WTF instead of calling folks to action.. the death of the internet is going to be due to our silence.

Quoting: WORMI can’t help but think a similar tool targeting Windows would be super janky and cost $20.

Elgato Wave Link which seems this app at least for the Desktop app seems heavily inspired by is Free on windows and doesn't required any of their mics any more
