Over the last couple of months I have been working on a new iOS #OpenStreetMap editor, Map2Go. The app aims to help surveying by providing quick, accurate suggestions & favorites. This has made things like address, payment, opening hours, and more much easier to do while standing at the subject.

It is now in very early beta. I welcome you to download it and test it but please ensure particular care is taken when submitting!

@clayote I understand the plain meaning, I don't understand how to apply it to the LLMs.

I think you are interpreting that (and I am too).

@clayote I don't think that is happening, but I think you are making your own points.

It is hurting my brain to deal with the indirection here, so if you want to make your own points, by all means - but I'm not going to bother with trying to respond to your interpretation of her thoughts.

@clayote So you are telling me that she is saying that the LLM companies are doing what Aaron tried to do?

I'm confusing myself, so I don't know how productive this discussion is, when she can just tell me what she thinks. 🤷

@clayote That interpretation isn't all that consistent with the idea that intellectual property isn't a thing.

In that world, it would all be public domain.

Wouldn't it then be a positive that while it is "unfair" that only the pirates get access to data as public domain, it is better than that data be protected by copyright?

Besides which, that isn't totally true - people *can* run LLMs locally; the piracy is included.

@clayote You want to tell us what she said?

This post has essentially been in support of the LLMs, with the related position that copyright abolishment is a good thing.

This is accompanied by speaking approvingly of Aaron Swartz's piracy as a "solution" - to... what, I'm not clear about, but it seemed to be the problem of intellectual property existing.

That's my interpretation and I am happy to be told I'm wrong.

I've been using #navidrome for a few years now. I really liked it.

Over the past two months or so, it keeps crashing. I've never had that happen before, but now half the time when I load the web interface, it's unavailable and I have to manually start it.

I also noticed that merge requests and commits to the project seem to be making heavy use of AI tools.

I don't know if those two things are related, but I have my suspicions.

Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project.

Here's the file they don't want you to read: https://web.archive.org/web/20260402155236/https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf

p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what's going on, my Signal is "@legoktm.12345" - happy to protect you.

I can confirm Creative Cloud has added to my /etc/hosts file.

What's old is new again! A new #Wayland compositor by the name of River delegates window management to a separate process—the same idea pioneered by the X Window System decades ago. https://codeberg.org/river/river

Proving the concept is an FVWM-like window manager for River. https://codeberg.org/thomasadam/cow
