  • “Open Source AI” is an attempt to “openwash” proprietary systems. In their paper “Rethinking open source generative AI: open-washing and the EU AI Act” Andreas Liesenfeld and Mark Dingemanse showed that many “Open Source” AI models offer hardly more than open model weights. Meaning: You can run the thing but you don’t actually know what it is.

    Basically, no.


  • I don’t understand the hostility of other comments. I had a quick look on the code and it is essentially IRC+Kiwi but in Rust, or a Matrix public chat room without signups. All chats are in memory and not saved to disk or DB. There is username but you can claim who you wants to be. The dependencies looks sane and reputable. I do saw there is a WebSocket lib being used but not found in code. However I don’t code in Rust nor I understand WS well so take a grain of salt here.

    It does provide anonymity, but not privacy or confidentiality. It does what it claims.












  • I never run a mail server but Google already placing my mail sent via my xyz domain hosted on proton to spam folder silently.

    I guess running my own will be a lot worst.

    P.S. I know that’s a bad TLD choice, and I’m planning to migrate, but that will take a lots of time and work to the point I wonders if that worth it as I don’t sent many anyways.









  • Gnome and other desktops need to start working on integrating FOSS AI models so that we don’t become obsolete.

    I don’t get it. How Linux would become obsolete if it don’t have native AI toolsets on DMs? It’s not like Linux desktop have a 80% market share. People who run Linux desktop as daily drivers are still niche, and most don’t even know Linux exists. They grown up with Microsoft and Apple shoving ads down their throat, and that’s all they know. If I need AI, I will find ways to intergrate to my workflow, not by the dev thinks I need it.

    And if you really need something like MS’s Recall, tgere is a FOSS version of it.
