In the early days, it was impossible to run a local LLM meaningfully without investing in pricey GPUs. But researchers have had so much success in shrinking down and speeding up models that anyone with a laptop, or even a smartphone, can now get in on the action.

🤖 A new site, "Is It Really FOSS?", tackles open source claims with clarity! It categorizes big projects like Proton Mail, Signal & Bitwarden, exposing hidden licensing risks and marketing hype. Check out the truth behind FOSS labels: https://cyberinsider.com/new-is-it-really-foss-site-tells-truth-about-open-source-claims/ 🔍 #FOSS#OpenSource#TechNews #newz

The state of #Linux packaging seems to be a perpetual mess. There is no standard packaging format among distros (something that I don't think will be resolved any time soon) and I've always viewed third party packaging tools like #snap and #flatpak with skepticism, mainly from a #security perspective.

After reading this, I'd rather deal with the perpetual mess of different package managers than the unraveling security headache that is Flatpak.

Anthropic, the creator of the Claude AI chatbot now faces "hundreds of billions of dollars in potential damages liability at trial in four months based on a class certification rushed at "warp speed" that involves "up to seven million potential claimants, whose works span a century of publishing history," each possibly triggering a $150,000 fine".
