The architecture of American power, built painstakingly over seventy-five years, has been abandoned. This will be remembered as the moment when America's Pacific century came to an end.

Drew is on a good cause this time [*]:

[*] Unlike in the case of FOSDEM. Given recent actions by Mozilla on users privacy, we have hard evidence that a presumed evil was banned and actual evil was let to keep keynote.

... and you rarely benefit in QEMU scenario from self-compiling them

Shit is happening because we allow it to happen. Let's just say no and call it a day. It's not like the first time when e.g., Linux community has said no despite big money put by some random corporation. We can do it. If some fortune corp got few months ban for all of their kernel staff, that message would go through.

I don't see anything related in https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition. This document feels like a testament for bullshit, not addressing the actual problems.

E.g. conditions could be exactly "not respecting robots.txt", not respecting copyleft license and things like that. Why would we not ban a company using AI for some period of time, if those conditions are not respected?

IMHO AI crawlers should result company bans to open source projects. We need Code of Conduct for AI.

FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies https://thelibre.news/foss-infrastructure-is-under-attack-by-ai-companies/ Please boost for awareness, reach and to public shame Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, Perplexity and other such AI companies.

I benchmarked that in the time window of one hour meeting I can prepare lasagne from zero to oven. This is my official Google Meet lasagne.

When using audio plugins with Linux DAW's, I'd use unconditionally Windows plugins:

1. Everything in one basket.
2. Wine folder is easy to backup.
3. Plugins suck as software and they spray your system with worst garbage ever. This way they spray only (backed up) Wine folder.

At least I pick always Windows version even if there is option to install "native" Linux plugin.

In the case of audio plugins Windows plugin is as native as Linux plugin because they don't produce any audio. An audio plugin is just a data sink, source or pipe wrapped into a fancy packaging :-)

Quick recipes to get OVMF and AAVMF anywhere:

OVMF:

curl -sSf https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/ovmf-0.0.202308-r2.apk | tar zx --strip-components 3 usr/share/OVMF/OVMF.fd

AAVMF:

curl -sSf https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/aarch64/aavmf-0.0.202308-r2.apk | tar xz --strip-components 3 usr/share/AAVMF/QEMU_EFI.fd

Distributions place these files in variable places when they deploy QEMU and EDK2 so it is is good to have ubiquitous method for acquiring them for e.g. kernel testing.

#alpinelinux #qemu #edk2 #ovmf #aavmf
