So, OpenAI is admitting its models are open to manipulation by anyone and such manipulation can result in near verbatim regurgitation of copyright works, have I understood correctly?

Israel is also killing journalists, as well as aid workers, its own hostage citizens waving white flags, along with thousands of non combative Palestinians, the majority being women and children.

I will repeat what I have proffered before:

If OpenAI stated that it is impossible to train leading AI models without using copyrighted material, then, unpopular as it may be, the preemptive pragmatic solution should be pretty obvious, enter into commercial arrangements for access to said copyrighted material.

Claiming a failure to do so in circumstances where the subsequent commercial product directly competes in a market seems disingenuous at best, given what I assume is the purpose of copyrighted material, that being to set the terms under which public facing material can be used. Particularly if regurgitation of copyrighted material seems to exist in products inadequately developed to prevent such a simple and foreseeable situation.

Yes I am aware of the USA concept of fair use, but the test of that should be manifestly reciprocal, for example would Meta allow what it did to MySpace, hack and allow easy user transfer, or Google with scraping Youtube.

To me it seems Big Tech wants its cake and to eat it, where investor $$$ are used to corrupt open markets and undermine both fundamental democratic State social institutions, manipulate legal processes, and undermine basic consumer rights.

A little late to allegedly break sound barrier in 2025: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_barrier

Israel forces have killed Israeli hostages under a white flag, killed large numbers of women and children, bombed hospitals and refugee camps, along with killing reporters and aid workers...while Israel always had the right to defend itself that is not justification for extrajudicial killings or genocide, both of which should provoke harsh international condemnation and responses.

Monopolistic gatekeepers pretending to be otherwise...that the rest of the world does not have equal rigor, and the EU itself at times quivering when it comes to regulating big tech, should be of concern.

“While we disagree with the FTC’s allegations and characterization of the facts, we are pleased to resolve this matter and look forward to continuing to serve our millions of customers around the world.”...translation, we regret being caught but look forward to the opportunity of exploring alternate ways to exploiting consumers for profit.

It will get worse with AI joining the fray!

Aegis Authenticator, AntennaPod, Aurora Store, Auxio, Bitwarden, Exodus, Forecastie, Fossify Contacts, Fossify Phone, Fossify File Manager, Fossify Gallery or Immich if self hosting pictures, Gmaps WV, Hypatria, Jellyfin client if self hosting media, Kvaesitso, Libre Camera, LocalSend, Mull, New Pipe, OpenBoard, OpenCalc, OsmAnd~, Pedometer, QKSMS, RHVoice, RustDesk, Send Reduced, Simply Translate Mobile, Tailscale, TrackerControl, VLC, WifiAnalyzer.

Let's start with the first step, stopping genocide, where objectively the majority of those killed are women and children, and in most cases where the average age of them is younger than when the last elections were held, that brought Hamas into a position of wielding some, but not representative power.

A simple usb KVM should do the trick of easily switching between the two.

The majority of the current Palestinian population was not even born in 2006, so I don't see how a vote then is really relevant. Hamas, like many others around the world, has edged to authoritarian rule, and given the internal divisions preceding this conflict, Israeli citizens are equally concerned the current government there is also trundling down the same path.

And there is angst re AI hallucinating, seems that also affects HR.

Mention is made of Resolve, which does work great as a professional grade video editor, and in the next breath codec issues are raised, which are not a Linux issue but proprietary licensing issue.

For a simple workaround in Mint go to: /home/UserName/.local/share/nemo/scripts

Create 2 files to convert videos from the right click menu and make them executable in the Permissions:

#!/bin/bash

for file; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a pcm_s16le -f mov "${file%.*}".mov

done

And:

#!/bin/bash

for file; do ffmpeg -i "$file" "${file}".mp4

done

Awesome.

Works on Brave but not LibreWolf for me, and does not work on either when using a VPN.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman controls 8.7 percent of Reddit, I wonder if he values the $$$s of the Google deal or is pissed as a Google rival: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/reddit-files-ipo-sam-altman-newhouse-family-investors-1235833080/

Have a look at software KVMs, for a similar functionality.

Any public data exchange has an element of risk, but the management/priority of that risk relates to your relevant risk matrix/profile.

Any exposed data transverses via a provider, be it mobile or Wi-Fi is pertinent, if you are concerned about provider vulnerabilities and exposure, be it Wi-Fi or mobile, use a VPN and related encryption.

Isn't everyone, and isn't Microsoft the one helping to make these tools available?

And how will mere 'blanket bans' prevent hackers from finding ways to use and exploit Microsoft AI tools, after all is that not what hackers do?

What is your actual personal use case, all you mention is a terminal, which every distro will support, likely with many different choices as to terminal options?

Awesome job...I have a Pi5 arriving later this week so I now know what will be my first test project!

Are there any videos of Pi-card in action?

I wonder if the changes are retrospective and Google bans those responsible for content that have led to the change.

Depending on your need FrapeBooks may be worth a look: https://frappebooks.com/

No, a software or hardware KVM lets you use the same keyboard and mouse across multiple devices.

Hmmm, I think this ignores the more fundamental issue, which is not core roaming by rival users, but rather ensuring 000 (911 in USA) coverage in emergencies, often people's lives depend on that and in my personal view that safety net does need to be robust across and between networks, which are after all are using an allocated public spectrum.

My guess would be to protect the the unaware from being tracked and exploited for profit, in other words sharing an idea without personal cost.

May I ask why you think so, Steam Deck is built on Arch Linux?

Compared to what what and at what relative cost? Given the actions of Haier buying into a product eco system seems like a far more expensive and risky proposition!

I use a BroadLink infrared blaster, as you can control all sorts of devices with Home Assistant that use infrared remotes: https://www.amazon.com.au/Broadlink-RM4-pro-Automation-Assistant/dp/B086VBXSDH?th=1

I use Resolve Studio, that gives you access to all Resolve features but it does not fix codec licensing issues at the Linux OS level.
