It’s when one boob is much bigger than the other.

All the more reason to keep a different alt for each area of interest.

It may be a good idea to always use external image hosting to lessen the load lemmy has to carry. You can still embed it in your comment.

TBF, reddit was ruined by one of its creators, not some ass that bought it.

Pretty much every company ever bought by private equity, or a larger company, or Elon Musk, or Saudi Arabia. Capitalism is flawed.

LLM like Bing actually start with long lists of instructions written in English which govern how it will behave. Previously, users tricked Bing into revealing those instructions. If the group that owns the chatbot wants to push an agenda on the public, they can easily add it to those instructions. This possible public manipulation is something I think we should be concerned about.

I agree that all that can be done is sue them and lets the courts decide what the meaning of the GPL contract is.

I’m surprised at the link you gave since it is written by someone who agrees with my take, not yours and RedHat’s. And you stated clearly that RedHat absolutely is not violating the GPL, when that is actually just your opinion. The real tldr quote of that article is:

Debates continue, even today, in copyleft expert circles, whether this model itself violates GPL. There is, however, no doubt that this provision is not in the spirit of the GPL agreements.

Time for a GPL version 4: no extraneous agreements that nullify GPL terms.

My apologies if I seem too hostile. I firmly believe this is an existential issue for open source.

assuming Red Hat finds out

If RedHat is serious, they can put watermarking/stenography on the code they give you. Might not be proof in court, but enough to figure you are the leaker.

If you deny redistribution, you are violating GPL. Do you agree with that?

So the question is then, does telling someone to promise not to do something, and punishing them if they do, violate there right to it?
