Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk’s Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire’s Pee-Drinking Skills and ‘Blowjob Prowess’English
41·9 days agoWhy should we care about an AI tailored to that one person whom many consider a fascist?
Negative publicity is also publicity. Please let’s rather ignore this stupidity.
There’s also OpenRA Romanov’s Vengeance, for people looking for this type of stuff. A WIP though, same as this project I think.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•What will you do after Android starts restricting FOSS apps?
1·1 month agoTL&DR; PinePhone. Longer explanation below
-
I’ll prepare for sacrifices. I should not blame the Open-Source alternatives that they’re not on par with Android yet. It was Android’s decision to become more closed, and I’ll keep remembering it.
-
I’ll start using my PinePhone that I already own anyway. I’ve used it for a while, but there was less push for me to use back then. Without F-Droid, I’ll press myself hard to adapt to PinePhone and will just stay there until it improves. I have 1-2 decades of experience of using non-mainstream software and see it improve with time. I’ll learn. I’ll adapt.

This is disrespectful to common sense.
The number of people KILLED in the mentioned Gulags is in the millions. The total number of killed by the regime is estimated as ~~20 million people. The number of people imprisoned in the US is just a bit north of a million.
Having a mass murderer on a picture and trying to picture it as “wasn’t as bad as the US now” is distasteful. Have self-respect, spend effort and verify the numbers. Think critically about the picture you’re thinking to upvote.
P.S. I’m not a US citizen or resident. In terms of freedoms, both the Soviet Union was terrible, and a lot of the events happening in the US right now are terrible.
Russia cannot become socialist again because it never was socialist. It’s official regime was “communism”, but there was very little socialist about it in the way Europe is doing it now.
I wanna use JXL locally. It’s quite amazing technologically, you can losslessly compress a JPEG to 0.8 or so of the original size.
I compress my photos for long-term storage anyway, so why not do it with JXL.
Thanks for the app recommendation!
(Fossify is a fork of the discontinued SimpleMobileTools.)
Personally, I’ve found Fossify Gallery so far: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.gallery/ Tried it out, it works well. Any other recommendations would be nice, too.
Signal, for example, does not support JXL as of today. But saving the photo and opening in Fossify Gallery works.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Looking for a FOSS alternative to Google Docs for remote collaboration
11·4 months agoI think a more fair name should be OnlyOffice. Wrapped in CryptPad for privacy and encryption. I’d also note a level of controversy around OnlyOffice, it being (still) developed in Russia, not making “we support Ukraine” / “we condemn the war” statements. There’s a bit more of that not just about the war, too.
And also to be fair, the product itself is visually quite decent, especially if you’re looking for online collaboration.



A much better and desired solution is to stop this law from ever happening by societal pressure, in my personal opinion. I wasn’t born in the EU, but I live here many years now. I choose to believe that EU isn’t fully corrupted, and that many good and meaningful changes are still happening.
