Wow!

It's impressive how "open" is @OpenSource!

I've been silenced on #OSI forum for ten days after posting https://discuss.opensource.org/t/privacy-or-real-data-transparency-a-false-dichotomy/661.

Now I'm back... and guess what?

I'm too dangerous to #OpenWashing.

🤷‍♂️

TIL that a #BlackBox #AI can be defined as #OpenSource.

Granting the “freedom to fine tune” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source AI just like granting the “freedom to configure” cannot be enough to qualify as Open Source Software.

Yet, for #OSI it's enough.

And you can't provide effective solutions to the problem they pretend to see into making training data available.

Or you will be silenced.

Auf der diesjähirgen #FrOSCon habe ich zum Thema "Geld ist nicht alles! Neue Wege zur nachhaltigen Beschaffung Freier Software" gesprochen. Dank @c3voc ist der Talk nach kaum 20 Stunden schon online - tolle Arbeit!

Danke fßr viele gute Gedanken zum Thema während der Konferenz! Auf neuen Wegen mag mancher Fallstrick lauern, aber es lohnt sich, sie zu gehen.

Öffentliche Verwaltungen brauchen #FreieSoftware!

Content warning: Long thread/4


As #msdos 1 & 2 are completely obsolete this looks like #openwashing… they could demonstrate they really love #freeasinfreedom software releasing #msoffice with the #AfferoGPL.
All in all the other #GAFAM are currently greater enemies of people's freedom.
