This guy’s videos get pushed a lot to people interested in privacy. He also (used to?) advertise his own “secure social media” with no metadata/tracking, until some other youtuber discovered it had security vulnerabilities. I’d suggest, stay away from anything related to Brax

I never understood that argument. The same idiots claim AI will democratize everything, it is inevitable. That one would only need to know natural language, “coding is over” or ‘x’ is over. If it does democratize ‘x’ for everyone with only requirement being natural language, who would even get left behind ??

I tried using a wrapper LLM for a specific software for a project, and sometimes it gives correct answers, sometimes gives the diffuclt way to implement something, sometimes it hallucinates. At first, I thought great, I wouldn’t have to sit through an entire playlist to get the gist of how to do something mildly similar. But recently it has been giving wrong answers. Today it gave answers beginning with “handoff - DENY}” and answers just kept cut off. Sometimes asking a different question, it just resumed the cut off answer from half an hour ago. The stupid piece of shit was wasting my time!! In the end, I just figured it out on my own.

I think NLP is amazing, a computer being able to understand what exactly I’m trying to do/look for is useful. But my work shouldn’t be dependent on an LLM’s “mood”.

Before anyone says just read documentation/tutorials, this is a niche vfx software which doesn’t have good docs and tutorials are mostly outdated for latest versions

PDS is just one part of the whole thing. It’s just the place where your data is stored. Almost all other parts of the network are dependent on Bluesky’s stack. Even the alternatives like Blacksky and Eurosky are still dependent of Bluesky’s implementations like the Appview. So if Bluesky goes down, it affects the other services (in some way) too. One can host a PDS for cheap, but if you want a proper social media service (with post history, search etc), it is kind of expensive. There are other appviews, but for some reason Bluesky going down causes issues in Blacksky, Eurosky etc

I forgot to share the url. It’s this one.

I typed “found it” after just seeing the post/headline on lemmy, but reading through the article, the allegations are from Ubisoft and fucking WB for 2 of their micro transaction heavy games. I don’t think this is what many people were lead to believe with the comments here. I initially thought the allegations were from poor indie devs. I don’t fucking care what Ubisoft and WB does, they are not saints either.

EDIT : Found it.

I’ve seen this being said mostly on reddit but haven’t seen any source/reference to this claim. Is this like an NDA that devs sign ? Has anyone reported on this/archived it ?

As others mentioned, Joplin is a solid option (with lots of plugins too). Notesnook too is good (if you’re willing to pay a subscription). If you are willing to wait a bit, there’s Beaver Notes. Currently they are working on syncing between devices and a new mobile client.

Look at the license file. They are using their own custom license. Being made available on github doesn’t make it is open source. Anytype could be considered ‘source available’.

(I specified this just because OP asked for open source. I contribute sometimes to foss apps, and it bothers me that the term foss get misinterpreted. It’s not you, even most companies don’t know the right terms to be considered foss. If you look up anytype on wayback machine, they used to proudly claim they were foss lol)

Anytype isn’t ‘open source’.

If you want cross platform, Joplin might be best option right now. But I am keeping an eye on Beaver Notes.
