Ahhh, open source software
Some rude nerd obviously is going to come in to say, this is free, take it or leave it or write your own? But that is IMO no longer acceptable, documentation is an *essential* element to a tool, and the counter-assertion that tools should be/are self-evidently usable is pure ideology
Do you, a corps of people with an intellectual tradition and a set of professional behaviours and standards, want to be taken seriously as a group who respect your own field? Write your documentation.
Does this qualify me for the crazy shit yet
if your shitty open source project has a shitty genai logo I will simply close the shitty tab and never return
"social warrior project" does he still think it's fucking 2014 or what
This is rabbit ears!
A free web tool that lets you search for words and phrases in youtube captions.
I developed it specifically for finding vocal samples, so you can download clips as mp3s right from the interface.
You can also add ur own links for ingestion :3
I love how all these open source projects are accepting LLM generated stuff, and when called out on it, they will quickly mention that "this is not the place to debate the ethics of AI".
So my question for everyone saying that is... if not now, when? When will we discuss if the source of the thing you're trying to ram through our throats is acceptable? When will we discuss if you normalising the damage the LLM companies are doing to create these tools is acceptable?
Or are we just going to ignore all the bullshit because it is (according to you) "useful"?
I bet people thought labour from kids sent to the mines was useful... Or that the results from inhumane studies were also useful...
So, I ask of you again, when IS the time and place to discuss the ethical ramifications of you using these things? Because it never seems to be the time for it somehow, isn't that interesting?
every single computer program written by a corporation will eventually betray you yes even that one you really like
only for genius
they always say "family friendly" like queer people and sex workers don't have families. if you don't mean ALL families then maybe specify WHICH ONES so that we know right away what to do with your trash opinions
There are too many beautiful people.....
I find any small subculture and in it I find more and more people getting excited about the things they love, all with wonderful thoughts on things I haven't seen, all cool as shit who is love to know...
Life is constantly overwhelmingly beautiful
I know the world is horrifying and bad and I know what you love is being rotted away by capital but you can still find someone online who knows too much about obscure ps2 games or bad italian movies or weird cars games and meet them and realize they are a beautiful human being
This is why I'm a communist more then anything because I want to believe in a world where we put supporting our fellow man at the forefront of everything, because have you ever met your fellow man? U ever talk to him about anime? U ever get her to transition and be ur fellow woman? She rules
(annoyingly qt creator does run on macos its just not supported in nixpkgs)
Once more, for the people who missed my previous rants on the topic: It's okay to adopt the stance that age verification is a bad idea.
You don't need to weaken your position by saying it might be okay if they eventually used Zero-Knowledge Proofs or pseudonymous systems.
First, such schemes aren't suitable for this domain even at a theoretical level. If you think they might then you don't understand the problem.
Second, even if ZKP was an applicable solution, it would still prevent undocumented people from accessing the internet like those that various governments choose to recognize as human.
Third, one goal of a functioning society ought to be producing responsible adults, and treating them as complete children until they suddenly turn 18 is not a reasonable way to accomplish that.
Government-mandated age verification for the internet is bad public policy, and it's 100% okay to say as much.

Puffin looking over the cliff at the horizon, she seem lost in thought as the grey clouds are rolling in the sky maybe announcing an incoming storm.

Sometime it feel nice to take a moment to enjoy the breeze and musicality of nature around, the little trickle of a stream in the forest , the tree leaves rustling and the numerous birds chirping around.
