CEOs and EDs do the same jobs. Just different names. In the U.S. there’s been a push by many non profits to change the title to CEO. Only because it sounds sexier.

I tried to like elementary and used for it for months awhile ago. But it was missing so many basic features for an OS. Eg, they only just added bulk rename to the file manager.

Oh nice. 👍

Interesting. Can you explain how it works, please?

I tend to agree with the judge’s assessment. He must make a decision based on existing law and the plaintiff’s claim/argument. You’re right existing law doesn’t cover this aspect of technology which is why there needs to be new laws enacted by Congress. And the courts are put in a no win situation here because we’ve failed to establish new rules and regulations for this new technology.

The plaintiff’s claim of derivative work doesn’t fit here because of what has already been long established what a derivative work looks like. AI generated images aren’t really derivative works.

I think rightfully, the court has told them to try again, which is ok.

the thing is, blender wasn’t always open source. And they wouldn’t have been this successful if they were still closed.

I’ll also add Inkscape to the other art apps.

Looks good so far for basic editing. And the node graph system is an interesting concept. But I’m not sure about trying to be the jack of all trades app.

How about we enact privacy laws that protect the users?

Trying another instance might be a good idea. If you have problems on the other instance then you know it’s a BW problem and maybe file a bug report. But don’t give up on BW! It’s a pretty neat piece of software that the fediverse needs.

I was able to import my library from Goodreads without much issues. After that it was pretty straightforward.

I agree. I was listening to a podcast where a couple of journalist were saying how they hated twitter, but they felt they needed it to promote their work. As you said, this type of thinking is dumb and dangerous.

Yes. I would definitely throw some money their way.

I know it’s not a unique thought, but I think advances in A.I. in all areas is going to be a game changer.

Yes, for Pixelfed. in the future they plan on making features so the site can be used as art portfolio. Even though I think it can be used now for that.

Unfortunately, “gentlemen agreements” in business don’t work and never has. Even with friends. Cassidy is a part owner in the company and will still have owner rights whether he’s drawing a paycheck or not. It doesn’t look like there are any written agreements in place to say otherwise.

I downloaded and fooled around with it. The interface is a little too busy for my liking. I’ve been using Zim for a long time and it suits my needs.

This. And people are addicted to toxic behaviors and environments.

Not OP, but for me the most difficult would be google maps. our family travels a lot on the weekends, and I become extremely dependent on maps.
