@GravitySpoiled Except people who violate the first rule of this community?
@freijon feel free to learn what “open source” means. Look, considering the number and frequency of posts in this community talking about this issue, you don’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore. People arguing that futo is open source are just spammers. Look around.
@freijon the question was specifically about open-source. Is this your first day here?
@ToxicWaste @JOMusic the censorship is trained into the ollama models too. But of course the self-hosted model cannot send anything to China, so at least the whole tracking issue is avoided.
@makeasnek When I found out how easy it is to send Bitcoin on F-Droid, I started sending a couple of bucks each month to the apps I use. I wish donating was always this easy, more people would do it.
If I have to choose between having a corrupt inefficient financial system with thousands of middlemen, vs this guy yelling at me his nonsense… I’m choosing this guy yelling at me.
@something_random_tho The pathfinding algorithm is in the client app (like Organic Maps) and the data are in openstreetmap. Different apps can find different paths and there is not much we can do about it, because changing the pathfinding algorithm could break it for many other places. That’s why I would rather modify the data, such as marking roads unsuitable for bikes, or making sure the nodes are properly connected, adding speed limits, road surface types… nudge the algo into the right path
@something_random_tho @lqwlxxxdxq
You should make an account on openstreetmap.org and modify the map to make it select a better route. You are part of the ecosystem of open-source software and crowd-sourced data.

@ExtremeDullard You are too kind and thoughtful, they really don’t deserve you. A company is just a collection of the people who work there. Maybe the reason why they violated GPL in the first place is because Stu, Phil and Tom didn’t care about their work at all. The comments paint a picture of a toxic work environment, and again, that’s just the result of the people working there. Good people need to leave bad companies, it’s the only way to let the bad die without hurting the good.
@ExtremeDullard just publish everything, they gave it to you under GPL so you can. Sounds like they deserve all the embarrassment they can get.
@makeasnek Does BOINC have any verification or protection from malicious actors finishing the work incorrectly just to get through the captcha? If not, this might actually poison the BOINC network, because bad people will have a motivation to get credits without performing the work.
@Alphane_Moon You are the one saying it’s unreliable but also you are not using it. Here is someone using it and saying it is reliable ok. Go figure.
> you shouldn’t even try sending transactions valued more than a few hundred dollars
this is true about all of the alternatives too, Lightning is just the only one honest about it. And as someone who’s been using lightning to pay my phone bills, I can say it works ok.
And we also explored the AI option, it always turned out unrealistic. Either you would have to scrape the content and send it to the AI to parse the info, but then you’d be paying for every scrape, or run a powerful rig nonstop, but the results would still be hit and miss. Or you might let the AI generate the code for the scraping module, still not ideal, they were constantly hallucinating things that weren’t there.
I’ve been webscraping in my job for 6 years. Yes, it’s a constant headache, they keep updating their sites and improving their antibot protections. But it can be done and some companies are doing it (on a biiiiig scale). It’s just not very realistic that an open-source project would be able to invest that much effort into all the updates. Well some do, youtube-dl is basically webscraping and they are pretty up-to-date. It’s just very rare.
On android you can use https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.projectmaxs.module.smsnotify/ - forwards incoming sms to XMPP
@Karcinogen Disclaimer isn’t going to cut it. Are you the same person as the other 5 guys in this thread who had exactly the same argument and also “solved” it by adding a disclaimer? Is this an organized spam campaign? Because it sure looks like that. If you like FUTO, fine, but go take it to a community that isn’t focused on open source. Is that too much to ask? Every week? With exactly the same arguments? Are you guys blind?
