    Agreed. I don't understand how training LLM on publicly available data is an issue. As you says, it doesn't copy the work. Rather the data is used as "inspiration" to stay in the art analogy.

    Maybe I'm ignorant. Would love to be proven wrong. Right now it seems to me that failing media publishers are trying to do a money grab and use copyright as an argument, even though their data/material isn't getting illegally reproduced.

    Nope. Hoped Lemmy would be better but it's just like reddit: disagree -> downvote....apparently. I thought up/down voting was supposed to help filter out bad contributions, not silence people with opinions that are different from your own.

    We agree. True but 'better' in what ways? EVs are, as you know, extremely heavy. Is this better or worse? If you don't have a car that you like to drive for the sake of driving, then it might not matter. If you are like me and like to fun on small roads then you might hate heavy cars because of the handling. Most EV lovers don't understand such things because they have a car for the purpose of transportation, not for the purpose of "the drive". Maybe bad generalization but I have yet to meet a person who have had as much fun in an EV as in a more traditional sport oriented car.... Except for the ionic 5 n, but I think there's a novelty factor involved here.

    If I only needed my car for transportation, the I would buy an EV, but only because of the reduced fuel costs.

    Edit: ok so I get downvoted for having a differing opinion from the majority of Lemmy users here. I'm wrong in saying that EV engines sound like shit?PLEASE one downvoter, explain to me how such a statement deserves a downvote?

    Majority of you probably just use your car as a means of transportation. I don't. I also drive to have fun. That's also why I never drive automatic as it is (to me) more engaging and challenging with a manual gear box. Let me give you another example: weight. EVs are heavy, always. I don't like heavily cars because I don't find them enjoyable to drive on small roads.

    Please understand that there is more to the world of cars than numbers.

    Various issues with Fedora 40 KDE spin

    Hi all, Edit: I use the KDE spin of Fedora 40 (updated after I posted this) and have a Windows 10 partition. However, I am not able to boot into Windows as it doesn't show up in GRUB. I've been encountering some frustrating issues with my Fedora Linux installation and I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer some guidance or solutions. I'm gonna post them all in this thread - please tell me if I should break each issue into individual 1. Time Setting: I've noticed that my system time doesn't seem to be setting correctly, even when I have automatic time synchronization enabled. The time in my BIOS is correct. Even when I try to set the time manually, it reverts back to the wrong settings. 2. Persistent Wi-Fi Password Prompts: Despite having saved my Wi-Fi password in the connection settings within KDE, I'm constantly being asked to re-enter it every time I connect. It's a bit of a hassle, My credentials are saved. 3. Browser Rendering Issues: When using both Chrome and Firefox on Fedora, I've noticed that certain websites, like Arduino.cc, don't load images or schematics properly. For example, when I try to access https://docs.arduino.cc/built-in-examples/basics/Blink/ the images fail to load. Strangely, I don't encounter this problem when using the same browsers on my Windows desktop. I have also tried to start Firefox in "fail safe" mode without addons enable but it does not make solve the issue. 4. Dual Boot Trouble: During the installation process, I managed to break my dual boot to Windows, which didn't happen when I initially tried out Linux Mint. The Linux Mint installer automatically managed to make my system dual boot through GRUB. However, I probably messed up in the Fedora installation process, and now I don't know how to fix it. 5. Driver Discovery: Despite enabling RPM Fusion for the Nvidia Driver, I cannot find the driver in the Discover app. Is there a step I might be missing, or a different approach I should take to locate and install the Nvidia driver? My hwinfo, using hwinfo --short:, removed keyboard, mouse etc. ``` cpu: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 graphics card: nVidia TU117M [GeForce MX450] Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] sound: Intel Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller storage: Samsung Electronics NVMe SSD Controller PM9A1/PM9A3/980PRO network: wlp0s20f3 Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 enp0s31f6 Intel Ethernet Connection (13) I219-LM network interface: enp0s31f6 Ethernet network interface lo Loopback network interface wlp0s20f3 Ethernet network interface disk: /dev/nvme0n1 Samsung Electronics NVMe SSD Controller PM9A1/PM9A3/980PRO /dev/zram0 Disk partition: /dev/nvme0n1p1 Partition /dev/nvme0n1p2 Partition /dev/nvme0n1p3 Partition /dev/nvme0n1p4 Partition /dev/nvme0n1p5 Partition /dev/nvme0n1p6 Partition /dev/nvme0n1p7 Partition ```

    At ryge mens børnene sidder i bilen er selvfølgelig en dårlig ide. Jeg tror bare man skal passe på med at staten skal bestemme sådan noget. Men nu er jeg også af den generelle holdning at lovgivning der rulles igennem med "folkesundheds"-argumentet ikke står over argumentet om personlig frihed. Folk skal have lov til at ryge. Hvis argumentet er at forbedre folkesundheden burde vi også se på at forbyde alkohol - f.eks. starte med cult shakers osv. hvor både smag og markedsføring helt klart er tiltænkt et yngre publikum. Samme trick laver de med Små Fugle som liiiige præcis har en alkoholprocent der gør det lovligt at købe for personer på 16 år. Ligesom "det smager som slik"-argumentet der blev brugt til at forbyde salg af e-juice med anden smag end tobak/mentol. Men nix! Vi SKAL jo være PISSE FULDE i DK. Det er fint med aldersgrænser, men jeg er meget imod total forbud.

    • login screen just freezes after standby
    • wifi not automatically recognizing what settings e.g. security protocol my work wifi uses
    • external monitors not working
    • updates just breaking my whole OS or not working

    These are essentials, not something I can simply learn to live with or fix on the fly.

    Would love to switch! I can get through work without proprietary software so that's not the issue.

    I wonder what arguments people have to justify a downvote. Polarized either/or views. Capitalism is a great idea if regulated. Look to history and find good examples of societies that aren't based on capitalism. They don't exist.

    I agree and value the Marxist analysis of capitalism. I'm a socialist. However, I don't think that a Marxist economy would work. Social responsible capitalism works. Capitalism run amok doesn't. Unfortunately, it is getting out of control, especially in the USA.

    DR lukker ned for rss og muligheden for brug af tredjeparts podcast apps.

    Som nogen måske har bemærket, så er DR startet på at forsinke (Genstart) eller slet og ret fjerne podcasts (Djævelen i Detaljen) fra deres RSS feeds og dermed lukker muligheden for at benytte tredjeparts apps. Jeg blev meget sur og skrev til DR. Her er deres, efter min mening, ulogiske svar. > 22 . Nov 2023 13:21 Hej xx Det gør vi, fordi det er de store formater, der virkelig gør en forskel, når det handler om at booste lytningen til alt det andet public service-indhold, der ligger i DR LYD. Vi er helt klar over, at ’Genstart’ har en særlig status blandt mange lyttere. Men vi gør det, fordi det er nødvendigt, for at vi også på længere sigt fortsat kan tilbyde et samlet, frit og tilgængeligt lydtilbud til alle danskere, som er uafhængigt af techgiganterne. Vi mener, at det vi gør nu er rettidig omhu, fordi vi ikke ved, hvordan techgiganterne vil udvikle sig. Se bare på X. Derfor duer det ikke, at vi som i dag er afhængig af at udkomme på de kommercielle podcastplatforme. Hvad tænker I andre om denne beslutning? Jeg mener at det er helt hul i hovedet. Det har indtil videre ikke været et problem og som betaler af licens føler jeg mig pisset på. Jeg gider ikke til at benytte flere apps for at få mine podcasts, som reelt er betalt af os "danskere". Argumentationen i DRs svar hænger slet ikke sammen. Hvad i alverden har techgiganterne at gøre med at jeg kan bruge lige præcis den podcast app jeg lyster? De kan da sagtens tilbyde indhold gennem RSS uden at techgiganterne er involveret? Og at jeg igennem DR lyd skal introduceres til flere podcasts bare fordi... Hvad? Har de ikke allerede en radio til det? Jeg har aldrig brugt deres skod app og stadigvæk lytter jeg til seks forskellige podcasts fra DR.
