Open Source@lemmy.ml•I want a compact mini laptop(netbook style) in 2026. Suggestions?
0·1 day agoThank you so much for this! Why 2015? Why not 2013? Also, isn’t it possible to boot them from microSD? I’m looking for a sub 12" device.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Come have fun with us on Luanti JMA CTF server
0·2 days agoThank you for your suggestion. I am a developer there and I can tell them about this. However, they will whitelist your username not your IP. So you can email them.

0·4 days agoYou can email Loki or other admins to unblock you. I also use a proxy through me VPS in SE to connect to the server. Your land is a building survival server.
The fun is in CTF which is FPS-like :))
As a member of the community, I won’t have a problem if the interactions with LLMs are only with open source ones, and the conversation is available as open data to all, without restrictions. The same which CommonVoice does for Voice.
Data matters so much that the companies keep it to themselves. And I absolutely don’t want the data to be used for training models which enslave the developers and the people of this planet. The least is that data should be open to all, so the FOSS community would have a chance to use the data to contribute back to FOSS.
Note that it doesn’t matter if the model is open source. For Machine Learning the data matters as much as the code does, if not more. And in this case, data matters much much more. The code is widely available and can also get researched independently.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Any resources on how to start writing documentation for an open source project ?
0·7 days agoIn general if you want to be a good writer, you need to be a good reader first :)
Writing is a good ability you could have so you would be a more valuable person, and also create value. Also writing is a way to express yourself, like in your blog.
Like many other things, you get good by practice. If you enjoy doing it, then just go read and write. Ask for feedback. You’ll get better and better slowly :)
Also may the Source be with you :D

Open Source@lemmy.ml•As a newbie Linux Dev that wants to for funsies, and eventually for work too, on open source projects what should I learn?
0·9 days agoIn person groups depend on where you are. But if there isn’t a group where you live, you can start one yourself! That’s the case in me city. We are starting a group ourselves for the city.

Linux@programming.dev•Most of Flathub's AI-generated apps were abandoned within months [XDA, Jul 18, 2026]
0·11 days agoI always have said. Open Source shouldn’t mean free labor. I personally develop open source software and get paid. And I am really against advocating that because the project is open source, the maintainer is not supposed to get paid and do it in their free time, voluntarily, and as a hobby.

I’m not sure if by “materials” they also meant shotguns…

0·11 days agoEven without vibe coding, writing an app from scratch has always been the easier/easiest part. The hard part is maintaining the app and keeping it alive over the years.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux creator Linus Torvalds puts foot down on anti-AI comments
0·12 days agooh I thought this “one generation of suffering” only happens in me country! It happens in here for non technical stuff. When some new stuff gets widespread in me country for the first time, a lot of people misuse or abuse it. An example is telephone. Another is Internet itself. And lately, coffee has become widespread in here(Iran) and people don’t know when to have an espresso and how many espressos per day is fine. There was a guy “I take 5-6 espressos per day and I’m fine”.
In a similar way, many people spend too much time on social media rather than doing something productive.

0·13 days agoFriendly reminder that many drugs like heroin and morphin can be life savers if used correctly. Either directly or by changing some of its chemicals. For instance, when people have heavy surgeries, morphin is a life saver to evade the insane pain. Needless to say that many of such these or a production of them are used as meds for mental illnesses.

Linux@programming.dev•'Rust makes coding fun again': Why Linux is moving away from C, according to Greg Kroah-Hartman
0·13 days agoRust indeed has good features I enjoy having them. But the joy I can have in Lisp, I cannot have in other traditional(or ordinary?) languages. I’ve developed an ML backend with Rust over 3 years to learn that for algorithm research and testing, Lisp ecosystem is much better than Rust. But I haven’t done the research yet to see if there is a Lisp other than CL which is performant enough. Because CL is quite obscure and has self contradicting features, thus not mature.

0·14 days agoI don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Nor I’ve got the time for this. It’s up to you to do your research. I have done mine and shared the results. You can take it or leave it.

0·14 days agoMe little cousins call all these games “Minecrafts” and then call Luanti “A minecraft”. Like “I have installed a good minecraft” xD

As I researched online, I’m not sure if I can boot from microSD. But most likely I will be able to put from USB. It could be
/booton USB and the rest on uSD. But I will have to buy an expensive uSD to get at least like 150MB/sIf I go this way, the advantage is that I can get an old macbook air with broken SSD working. And since the SSD is not normally replaceable, this means excellent bargaining chance for me :)))
