→ Mistral, Europe’s biggest #AI #startup, is blowing hot

“[Mistral's] models […] are firmly middling. […] So #Mistral has tried to make its name by competing more obliquely. For instance, many of its models are #opensource: anyone may download and use them without explicit permission, for no charge. Others are released under the company’s own "research" #licence; commercial users must pay for them, #hobbyists and #hackers can fool around with them #freely.”

The Summit on State #AI Legislation was a rousing success—so grateful to the panelists, moderators, attendees, co-organizers, and staff who made it happen! Two days of great conversations with state legislators, civil society, industry, and the #opensource community. Deets ⬇️

Ever worried about other users on your Linux server seeing what processes are running? The `hidepid` kernel feature is your friend! It makes processes invisible to anyone but the owner and root user, even in system monitoring tools like ps, top, htop, and btop. This is a great way to prevent sensitive information (like API keys or passwords used in command-line arguments) from being exposed. See how to configure it cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-hide-p for more info.

The rise of Gimp 3

Big kudos to the #Gimp team!

I've just tested out the brand new version 3 and the most wanted feature, non-destructive-editig, just blew my mind!

I haven't realized that now, everything that is based on GEGL is editable, it is just amazing, this goes beyond what I expected as non-destructive-editing.

There are still plenty of room for improvements though , I hope in the future they will add a layer mask for each effect and the opacity channel to determine the amount of the intensity.

Nevertheless this result by itself it is just amazing and superior to other commercials solution even in its infantry!

This will boost my workflow cause now I can modify colors on my images without degrading the original ones and exporting the working file as jpeg-xl, this is already a pro level!

The @eff made a wonderful project called rayhunter. It detects modern cell site simulators (aka stingrays, fake cell towers).

But it doesn't work out of the box on Debian and when I offered a fix (commands to compile a version for Debian), they didn't like it, suggesting that everyone who uses Debian or Ubuntu 22.04 should set up a rust development environment & compile it themselves.

The beauty of #OpenSource is that I don't have to accept that answer. I'm forking it & adding a Debian release

This is absurdly great, but I haven't read a single blog post or news article about it. A fully open source, offline-first alternative to Notion that's a collab between the French and German governments because they want to host documentation securely and on their own terms. THIS is what Europe should be doing. docs.numerique.gouv.fr/ #opensource

If #OpenSource fanatics were 10% as good at writing easy to understand documentation as they are talking down to anyone not on their programming level, #FOSS would spread across the country. But they got to be closed minded about it.

And no, reply guy, I am not interested in the free "seminar" that is really just 20 hours of you on youtube.

I like the idea of #Docs, an #OpenSource alternative to Google Docs developed by the French and German governments, compliant with #GDPR, and hosted outside the US.

But I'm having trouble finding reviews, perhaps because it's new or because it has such a generic name. Can anyone point to helpful reviews?
