LLM/"AI" Policies | Jellyfin


in reply to exu

What about the IP issues? Not even talking about the "ethics" of "ip theft via AI" or anything, you just know a company like Microsoft or Apple will eventually try suing an open source project over AI code that's "too similar" to their proprietary code. Doesn't matter if they're doing the same to a much greater degree, all that matters is they have the resources to sue open source projects and not the other way around. If a tech company can get rid of the competition by abusing the legal system, you just know they will, especially if they can also play the "they're knowingly letting their users use pirated media that we own with their software” card on top of it.

Doubt it. The incentives don't align. They benefit from open source much more than are threatened by it. Even that "embrace, extent, extinguish" idea comes from different times and it's likely less profitable than the vendor lock-in and other modern practices that are actually in place today. Even the copyright argument is something that could easily backfire if they just throw it in a case, because of all this questionable AI training.

And specially for Microsoft, they would be shooting their own foot if they were to spread Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt in the development community over the legality of the use of AI tools like Copilot, which they themselves promote and sell.

So far the best AI tool use policy I've read, specially this bit:

Your PR body should be providing context to other developers about why a change was made, and if your name is on it, we want your words and explanations, not an LLM's. If you can't explain what the LLM did, we are not interested in the change.



[Pillsbury Pizza Pops] contaminated with E. coli tied to 7 hospitalizations [in Canada], data shows


in reply to TemplaerDude

LOL! We had a guy at work brought a box in and he left them in the freezer and someone took them on him. He told the boss and at our weekly meeting the boss mentioned it and someone said, “You mean there’s TWO people that eat those?” and it’s stuck with me ever since. No hate, just teasing.
in reply to Disgruntled

You just know it was the ~~boss~~ person chiming in trying to deflect from him being a suspect.

La prima bici Cannondale è molto diversa da come te la immagini


Quando pensiamo a Cannondale, l’immaginario corre veloce: telai oversize, alluminio prima e carbonio poi, bici da corsa aggressive e mountain bike che hanno fatto scuola. E invece no. La prima bici Cannondale non era una race machine né tantomeno una MTB. Era una bici da viaggio. Da cicloturismo. E questa, oggi più che mai, è una storia che vale la pena raccontare.

Help with uploading images on Linux Mint & Librewolf


So when I upload an image on certain sites the Image "uploads" but it comes out as a solid or staticy colours & looks nothing like what I uploaded.

this really became a problem when I made some new PFPs for my Online Accounts, Glomble & Here took them fine but WAFRN & Bluesky who took the previous images fine just showed the weird stuff even though when they allowed be to crop the image it looked perfectly fine, any advice?

in reply to Geodes_n_Gems

This comes from Canvas being blocked by default in librewolf. You can either enable it globally in the settings, or enable it per site by clicking the little picture icon in the URL bar and toggling it, then reloading

librewolf.net/docs/faq/#should…

You most likely need to enable Canvas support on that site for the upload. It's a little picture icon right to the left of the URL bar. I would recommend reading the docs above.

French pirate/torrent sites?


I’m trying to learn French, so I’m looking for places to get media I can watch and read. Bonus points if there are kids’ books and TV shows – I’m at an absolute beginner level here.

The fediverse community is !tipiak@anarchist.nexus

Tipiak is a kinda slang way of saying pirate. It comes from an old tv ad from a food company named Tipiak. 3 old grandma screamed "pirate !" after discovering that the food tastes the same as their own secret family recipe (supposedly). It became sort of a meme and is used to say pirate. As the French language is not difficult enough for our English neighbours, we started to conjugate the word: Ce soir je vais tipiaker ce film (tonight I’m going to pirate (download) that film).

The same word is used in the answer from @obercail@jlai.lu with even a new variant: Tipiakeries (pirate thingy)

The two main French torrents tracker (private tracker) are:

Experience with hosting a public Invidious instance?


I just finished setting up the hardware infrastructure to start hosting but I cannot find any specific information in the official documentation on how to set up a public Invidious instance. I understand the guide as far as just hosting an instance and watching YouTube through that goes, but how do I, for instance, give it a publicly searchable domain name that - in the best of worlds - is listed on Invidious' website?

I assume there is a better way than to start posting my instance's IP address throughout any forums that I might be active on?

in reply to emotional_soup_88

As diminou mentioned, do your research before you go down this road. You can also open yourself to DMCA takedowns if you aren't careful.

See: docs.invidious.io/hide-instanc…

It would be better for you to just run a private instance initially. You can use tailscale if you want to be able to access it remotely. That's the safest way to start out.

Edit: There's a tutorial here if you are intent on doing it: fedfree.org/docs/http/arch-inv…

in reply to Unruffled [they/them]

Thanks for the tutorial! For now, I'm looking into connecting to my instance with a simple wireguard tunnel, if I decide to just have a private instance.

I already read Invidious' documentation. 👍

The reason I'm asking about a public instance is because I want to share my bandwidth with y'all with more than torrenting, an I2P router and Tor bridges. 🙈


in reply to ComradeSharkfucker

it's so wild that she never wants to eat them. I'm eating them! I know it's yummy! oftentimes it's stuff with fish or chicken, which she knows the taste of! but never even goes for a nibble, just a sniff.

Honestly quite happy that she's very stupid. The only way she knows what food is, is if it is in her bowl.

How to revert Firefox’s latest changes to address bar suggestions


tldr; Firefox changed the order in which suggestions appear when you start typing in the address bar. It used to show previously visited websites first. Now it prioritizes its own suggestions.

To get back to the old behaviour, navigate to about:config, search for the key browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst and change the value to false.


in reply to acargitz

I tried, but their website wouldn't accept my information for some reason. Tried a couple times, tried different browsers, even tried the provincial site, nothing.
