What is the RSS URL for a given community? Did not know there was an RSS option to read Lemmy communities.

Yes, Scaled seems to be what I need.

That’s what the scaled sort is supposed to solve

Do you know if old threads pop up due to new messages? Seeing two, month old threads, so I guess they just got new posts. Other than that, it seems Scaled is what I need. Thanks

If you go to the community and sort by new you’ll see new posts?

If I went to each individual community this would not be an issue, but that is far less friendly…

This is what I have been doing: I go to the instance I use, discuss.online, and sort by day. That shows me threads with most votes for the day (or however many hours I chose) the issue is that on a busy day, or as the number of subscriptions grow, less active groups get pushed further down in the pages.

The Forum Login is in the top right of every page (if the menu is not expanded, it will simply be an icon

The way to expand the right vertical bar is in the bottom left corner… not particularly intuitive. I would recommend to have login and register in the top row line. I can’t remember ever seeing another site where I literally did not notice the login / register options even though they were there, as in this site. 🙄

it felt like there was too much room for abuse or issues There will be people and entities that will try to abuse, not matter what the policy is

closed licensed projects could also cause legal issues Not sure what you are referring to, but open source software can also cause legal issues. Someone could take code from work and try to open source, someone could take another open source project’s code and try to pass it as their own, etc… etc…

Quick observation. I think would be helpful to have a login button somewhere instead of one having to get all the way down to a topic. Also, what if I wanted to see everything new for a category instead for a single topic? Anything like that supported yet?

Are you writing anywhere about how you are doing this? Tech stack, team members, etc…

New project submissions, such as https://unfinishedprojects.net/wiki/Special:FormEdit/Submit_Project, should be behind login. Otherwise, eventually, you will get lots of spam registrations.

Lastly, when I see this “The Libre Community” makes me think that this would be even nicer if it was for all creators… think solopreneurs who may be trying to create a SAAS. Those are a group of people who may be primarily consumers of open source, but they can provide great feedback and also be early adopters of anyone trying to create a new open source software.

require the training data to be shared to prove it was never exposed to the original source

I believe there have been lawsuits which have already proven these models stole, and can reproduce verbatim, copyrighted material yet there has been little to no real consequences for the AI companies. So, if they can get away with that from companies that actually have the means to present a strong lawsuit, the chances of some open source author to defend their code are slim (very slim in my opinion)

I thought there are some licenses that prohibit cloud providers from using the software and offering it as a service. In those cases even though the software may not be leaving the “Author” machines, it would still be a refactor of software that otherwise the cloud provider would not have been able to run legally under the old license.

Copyright law only has teeth when it’s owned by corporations,

100%. It is funny how any individual can be sued for copying a handful, of pretty much anything copyrighted, yet these AI companies copy literally thousands upon thousands of copyrighted materials.

cleanroom reimplementing technique does still seem to create a derivative product

Will likely have to wait for a case to go to trial, but in theory at least, it is possible these clean room implementations may pass a legal challenge. The youtube video I was watching about this topic had phoenix technologies as an example (for those of us old enough to remember what that company was). In their case it was even more so; they took a commercial piece of software and reverse engineered. If that is possible, then doing similar to an open source software may be considered legal, but again we probably won’t know until something like this comes to courts. Different countries may also treat this differently so we will have to wait and see.

The “good” news is this is pretty rare these days.

Sadly yes. But even those that don’t make money, or much money, must feel demoralized when someone steals their code.
