It’s good to have yet another attempt to form a multi-#blockchain collaboration for future of #DeFi. Wish they can truly embrace #opensource and make it free for all to use!...
It is fun to play around with #Whisper, by #OpenAI. A general-purpose speech recognition model, open source, not bad for free translation. github.com/openai/whisper
Haven’t even heard of Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) before this, good PR for them? No one ever said that #AI will be fair, only tech giants can afford to train...
Maybe we need a fully decentralised #git afterall. Politically and economically neutral. Just code. Or is that even riskier than #freespeech? pcmag.com/news/github-re…
Many top #opensource projects are well funded and have viable ecosystem built around it. venturebeat.com/2022/03/20/the…

A cool collection of very old software. Sharing the files over #IPFS. Can’t exactly say that is it breaking copyright laws. More like leaving floppy disks outside your house. winworldpc.com/library/operat…
Can you imagine #Google taking over #Linux kernel development? techradar.com/news/google-sl…
This is how NOT to buy an #opensource project and piss off the community. vice.com/en/article/g5g…

Let’s keep #Elasticsearch open with #Opensearch! Thanks #Amazon #AWS! opensearch.org
#Google starting to play defensive with #Chromium, will #Microsoft or someone else to step up and fork the project in a few years? Another typical open source story? When someone...
Slow news day at #techradar? #Amazon already announced they will fork the project and keep it open source. techradar.com/news/elastic-d…
Stop paying for expensive flowchart tools. Just use and contribute to this #OpenSource project. app.diagrams.net
It’s important to remember what #Redhat was doing then wait and see if the new structure will help. Also remembering that it is now part of #IBM Hybrid Cloud division....

#HSBC could have gone a step further and use an open #blockchain for this, then developers can write their own smartcontracts instead of limited by given APIs. zdnet.com/article/hsbc-t…
Expecting developers to keep maintaining old software is just wrong. The solution for people wanting to use old versions is simply not to update to latest system. #CatalinaOS slate.com/technology/201…
