Hey Linux people! 🐧

For a casual user (not a dev, not a gamer), is there any reason to choose Ubuntu instead of Linux Mint?

Just trying to choose between them, have usually gone for Ubuntu but so many have recommended Mint that may give that a shot.

The @osi released the #OpenSource #AI definition this week, and stopped short of requiring that #datasets used for training AI models also be openly available.

Side-stepping that debate, I dig into the onus the OSI's decision now places on having better #DatasetDocumentation approaches - without which the data used for training cannot be adequately described.

I read the first book for October's #TBRChallenge and had to read book two, which was not in my TBR. Support your local libraries folks, they're out here being awesome while the world burns. My review of The Best Man to Trust by Kerry Connor is over at the Bat Cave wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspo… #RomBkBlog @romancelandia

fosstodon.org/@elaterite/11340… elaterite@fosstodon.org - These are Washingtonia fillifera (desert fan palm). They are the only native palm in the US desert Southwest. All of the palm trees seen in cities are non-native cultivars. There's only a handful of sites where W. fullifera survive. This grove is near the Arizona / Calif border in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. Sadly, I didn't have time to climb up into the canyon where the palms are. I had to make haste to get to the Grand Canyon to photograph the comet!

Once again a journalist has withheld potentially vital information -- for years in this case -- in order to make money later on. It's all just business, no conscience required.

This is horrible. What's the BS reason he didn't bring this info out earlier?
I followed the great reporting from Julie Brown of the Miami Herald.
What struck me was all the fixers who helped cover up the story.
PR & legal fixers used the rules of journalism to keep stories about their clients quiet. They used the rights of the victims to protect the predators.
But some victims kept going through the intimidation, pay offs & failure of the justice system.

the last thing I’d want to read is a book about Trump! They should release the worst quotes from the tapes (or all of them, really).
