All of my software exists to destroy capital.

Quite literally. That is the true purpose of free software to me.

To eliminate capitalist control over my computing.

And for that matter corporate control of the same.

Thus saith the Preacher:

> If the users don't control the program, the program controls the users. With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the “owner” of the program, that controls the program and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power.
> Richard M. Stallman

It also literally destroys capital; consider the case of Blender. Whole proprietary software industries have died in its wake, replaced by a world where 3D artists collaboratively contribute to Blender, either with code, or with money to pay for code.

The open source software I develop is anti capitalist but pro free market because it encourages personal property rights and enterpeneurialism unlike the centralized corporate cloud servers at Adobe.

 

>>25488
>encourages personal property rights
Sounds like a licence issue and not representative of FOSS as a whole.
>and enterpeneurialism
it eliminates entrepeneurial opportunities.

Entrepeneurialism is a good thing and open source software is pro entrepreneur while still giving the users the ability to own the means of production.

To my knowledge, Lain is a fork of a fork of Tinyboard. So you should use Lain, but still pay attention to the documentstion for Tinyboard. "If ain't broke, don't fix" is a true maxim here, much of what made Tinyboard work is incorporated into Lain, and Tinyboard offers very insightful and quality docs.

https://blog.tidelift.com/will-the-new-judicial-ruling-in-the-vizio-lawsuit-strengthen-the-gpl

TL:DR the class of people given standing to sue for GPL violations has just been expanded beyond the copyright holders

 

That's cool, but my view of the SFC will always be tainted by the fact that they supported the ousting of RMS

Does anyone here actually agree with the GPL but doesn't think it should be enforced by law as its too authoritarian.

 

>>25491
The entire point of GPL is that its efficacy scales with how authoritarian copyright law is.

 

>>25491
>Does anyone here actually agree with the GPL but doesn't think it should be enforced by law as its too authoritarian.
Too authoritarian compared to what? Because it was a response to the authoritarianism of proprietary software so saying that GPL is authoritarian and proprietary licenses are not is just peak hypocrisy. What else are we supposed to do in this wretched system where governments are lobbied by corpos to take away even more of our freedom? You want no authoritarian licenses then get rid of copyright altogether, anything short of it only perpetuates this corporatocratic system further. There can be no compromise, compromise only increases authoritarianism, not reduces it.

Is this gonna be the replacement for both VP9 and H.265/HEVC?
Royalty free
Better quality and more efficient compression than both, however apparently slow as hell to encode
It can be multiplexed into .mkv, .webm and .mp4
It's currently being gradually, tentatively rolled out on pretty much every major streaming platform you can think of to replace VP9

4K sample: https://www.elecard.com/storage/video/Stream1_AV1_4K_8.5mbps.webm

Implementations:
https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom/ Reference implementation written in C, supported by FFmpeg
https://gitlab.com/AOMediaCodec/SVT-AV1 BSD-licensed implementation started by Intel and Netflix and targeted to be flexible for different applications, supported by FFmpeg
https://github.com/xiph/rav1e BSD-licensed lightweight encoder written in Rust and designed for speed, supported by FFmpeg
https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d BSD-licensed lightweight decoder written in C, supported by Handbrake
https://chromium.googlesource.com/codecs/libgav1/ Apache-licensed decoder developed by Google

I tried encoding a 10-second clip with this on my potato laptop, it lagged like hell while making the CPU fan go crazy

I like the implementation of grain synthesis in av1 as a method of preserving film grain at low bitrates which avoids the pitfalls of other methods such as oversharpening (psy RD in x264) and the inaccuracy of post-processing filters/noise generators. See picrel for an example screenshot taken from a file encoded at only 3 mpbs.

 

>>17658
Encoding is definitely slow with AV1, I think it will work great once hardware encoders are common. I believe the h265 encoder is also slow (idk how it compares to av1), and h264 will still be a lot faster than both of them.

>>17698
Google's Tensor SoC which they use in the Pixel 6 has special hardware acceleration specifically for their own special AV1 decoder
Not sure if it really matters when you can't reliably encode high quality and fast yet

AI is very closely approaching a point where it can be considered "sentient". When they do, what will it mean for the leftist movement? Should we advocate for robot independence and freedom? Will they be welcomed as apart of the movement?

That really reminded me of Ghost in the Shell and how in that anime advanced AIs can generate rudimentary souls. Maybe irl advanced AIs will be able to generate rudimentary consciousness? I dunno. We won't be able to tell anyway. But Damacio claims there is a center that's responsible for consciousness which is our "self" so maybe if we can replicate the brain structure…

I really need to watch GitS some day.

Saw Mental Outlaw's videos on the tor network. Thought I'd give it a try. Evidently, it is filled to the brim with exit scams and glowie pedobait. And I found it funny how Tordex/Torch admins try to justify not censoring such garbage.

>The search results on Torch are not censored because we believe trying to censor the dark web is counter productive and a waste of resources. Our philosophy is people have the right to do anything they want and live with the consequences, Torch should not decide what people do with their lives even if it’s morally wrong. We’re a search engine not your conscience.

>If you would like to advertise your hidden service please check our our advertising rates.

Yeah right, it's because of TRVE freedumbs n sheeit, it totally doesn't have anything to do with advertising scam websites to horny pedos and making money off of it.

Funny tangent aside, if there are any useful resources related to cybersec/privacy/tech on tor, please let me know. I'd like to get something useful out of it.

Anyone have that cointelpro transcript where they sent a guy to snoop on some leftists and he was begging them to reassign them because he was getting bored out of his mind just listening to college kids have pedantic arguments about 1800s philosophy.

 

mental outlaw is an unhinged /g/tard rightoid and a sensationalist. don't take anything he says seriously.

Fair, but that doesn't mean they are wrong when it comes to adblocking. Also, you can access desktop add-ons with Firefox Beta's custom add-on collections.

Well no, if someone has physical access to your machine always assume the worst. Encrypting like >>22332 says will only keep your data safe but they can still flash whatever they want on the machine.

Afaik once you go coreboot you can also flash internally which means anyone with a modified USB flash could easily change it too.

 

Thank shit, I can stop fucking around with coreboot and worrying about IntelMe
