Those people are so short sighted. I put two 0's in front because I really care about humanity. This, I believe, will help fix climate change. Excuse me while I sniff my own farts.
Words have meaning and sometimes it's important to remain clear. I think it is not acceptable to use "open source" for things that are not actually "open source", especially in an article about the topic. There are probably better words to describe what needs to be described instead.
See my other comment [1] where I try to defend why I think like this.
(Now, as I'm saying in the other comment, in this case for this article, it's just an example that doesn't work, it's not something fundamentally wrong about it.)
> Is the llama license open source as defined by the OSD? No
No indeed, full stop. I think that If one needs to express some idea, one should use clear and exact terms for this. I don't think "open source", which is widely recognized with a specific meaning, should be twisted. The shared definition of "open source" is the one defined by the OSD.
> But for the majority of people, they don't care
Maybe they should, but even if they don't, it's not an excuse. Especially in an article about the very topic at hand.
The open source definition seems constantly attacked for some reason, and that blurs the meaning of everything in the ecosystem. We need to fight back against this.
If you care about open source, how are you supposed to spread the word if "open source" has lost its meaning?
It also matters because if one thinks that open source is the better thing to do, but everything and their dog is called open source, then everything is good and we don't need to bother with the principles anymore (not unlike the Overton window).
Now, in this case for this article, it's just an example that doesn't work, it's not something fundamentally wrong about it. I'm just pushing back on the idea that it doesn't matter if we misuse "open source" a bit which seems to spread fast these days.
mpv understands URLs to these websites and uses yt-dlp to download them.
On KDE, I assigned an action to open some URLs with mpv, which means I can play then from the clipboard manager or the copy menu that is displayed when copying if it's enabled.
Nope, sometimes I would have a rebuttal but flagging is the better option (constructive discussion is hard without mutual respect, and/or don't feed the troll). Or, the comment doesn't even have anything to refute, it's just disrespectful or it's spam, or both.
I have flagged a few comments but I'm rarely mad.
And if one is mad because of a disrespectful comment, the flagging is probably appropriate too.
Not at all costs though, including disrupting access to said free information.
And this free information is not free from rights to respect neither, it's under CC-BY-SA, which requires attribution and sharing under the same conditions, the kind of "subtleties" and "details" with which AI companies have been wiping their big arses.
Real concern or not, this is not related to the discussion at hand, which is AI crawlers hammering Wikipedia, which is related to AI crawlers hammering everything these days. Here's the concern at hand.
I would like to read on Wikipedia corruption with quality sources (in a separate HN post, which would probably be successful), but that's not quite on-topic here. Not only it's off-topic and borderline whataboutism, it's also not sourced, so the comment doesn't actually help someone who isn't in the knows. Thus, as is, it's not much interesting and kinda useless.
These reasons are probably why it has been downvoted: off topic, not helping, not well researched.
I'm not sure about this. It could break the positioning / sizing / box CSS properties.
That would require rendering arbitrary HTML in the native widget, outside the browser. And I think that would require putting WebKit in the native widget. Or, to maintain a "copy" of the widget that looks like the native one but uses WebKit to render things. Seems annoying to maintain.
(And there are the security concerns mentioned by the other comments)
