Zelenskyy doesn't apologize for blowup with Trump, but insists he respects president and US | Fox News
  • Watching this feels like a masterclass of diplomacy. Zelenskyy is talking directly and respectfully to the Fox audience, while trying to clearly explain why Ukraine can't just bow down to faulty peace deals without question.

  • Why does it feel like evil is winning globally?
  • I would just like to push back and say that the Internet was an open public project, and it has helped countless people across the world. Every single problematic tech that people are pointing to at the moment are closed-source commercial projects.

    That is Capitalism at work.

    Explainer of Diffusion LLMs from Andrej Karpathy: "Most of the LLMs you've been seeing are ~clones as far as the core modeling approach goes. They're all trained "autoregressively", i.e. predicting tokens from left to right. Diffusion is different - it doesn't go left to right, but all at once. You start with noise and gradually denoise into a token stream."

    Introducing a terms of use and updated privacy notice for Firefox
  • I really hope an explanation is forthcoming as to why they need all data. It is concerning that a "privacy-focused" browser doesn't take the time to explain that.

    Until they do, I think I'm gonna give WaterFox a whirl.

  • Proton Ditches Mastodon
  • I wonder if the "limited resources" are due to them potentially losing a whole load of customers recently.

    You know, if their tech truly is as open-source as they market, then they've still contributed hugely to the ecosystem. If it turns out it's not actually operationally open-source, then this will be remembered in a hugely negative light.

    Edit: I did just see their post about being impacted by the US spending cuts. I can't imagine Proton would be super happy about that administration at the moment. But then again, who knows these days.

  • Steve Bannon Gives Apparent Nazi Salute During CPAC Speech, Mirroring Elon Musk | Video
  • This was in the same speech where he said that the Holy Spirit was working through Trump to do all of this, and that Trump should have a third term and beyond.

    It's becoming obvious that we should be treating Trumpism as a religious cult, not just a political movement.

    I'm a Professional Game Composer now using entirely Open-Source tooling
  • I was using Audacity for quick Normalization and other edits to my samples, but I've since learned I can do that inside OpenMPT (and save those edits back to file). Audacity does lack any form of "midi-esque" sequencing though, which is how I primarily work.

    Having said that, Audacity has come a long with VST support, etc, since Muse Group got involved. But unfortunately, they also allegedly enforced data tracking in a way that didn't respect the community that had supported it up until then. I actually don't know what the latest is (someone else feel free to reply with the update), but it hasn't been crucial enough in my workflow to keep up with.

  • I'm a Professional Game Composer now using entirely Open-Source tooling
  • Yeah I asked about that on the LMMS Discord too, and said I had the same assumption. Apparently it is still under active dev, but you need to scroll down to the nightly builds.

    I don't know why they don't update the Git Releases..

  • Just started exploring Linux Studio Plugins last weekend! I've heard Ardour is good, but I'm sticking to $0 options if I can help it. That way people don't need access to credit cards, etc, to use the software

    I believe that Open-Source is one of the strongest cultural movements towards diffusing power structures. I now use Open-Source tooling throughout the entire production of my works to clearly show that it is possible + effective. Currently in my Workflow Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) – OpenMPT, Fu...
