was going to say this.. open sourcing Chinese models will enforce Chinese dominance instead of reducing it. When an open Chinese model becomes the best alternative to inaccessible closed US models guess what everybody will start to use. And that same open model may embed certain narratives and values that please the Chinese government.

Doubtful that’s happen

This sounds like a really strong argument

I wrote a short University essay on Freenet in 1998 I think it was... I may still have the document somewhere. Good stuff, very pioneer!

Unfortunately, this is an effectively unrelated project.

That project had nothing to do with the freenet that ran after 2006 either. It's not the first ground up rewrite with major breaking changes using the same name.

Not sure how you can say it's unrelated given that it was created for the same purpose by the same person with many design similarities.

it's La Liga, what do you expect?

I used to own a house, I could decorate it the way I wanted. It was hard work, but it was mine!

Then they locked it, so I went to live in a luxury hotel, it's more expensive, I can't decide how I want it and I don't own anything, but it's such a superior experience!

Some want ownership, some want experience. People differ, who might have thought.

it's not the choice, it's the argument: OP seems to be happy to give up freedom (he or she initially cherished) because everything now is crap anyways, so let's just bathe in shit and celebrate it...

the issue is with jupyter notebooks because they keep some of the data in the output (typically a few rows, but still). They should strongly recommend to use regular python scripts, and keep the jupyter books just for verification, which is a very sane thing to do also from a SW engineering perspective.

I cant really understand why Jupyter Notebooks do this in the first place. It makes it (a) really hard to version control, as there will always be some random blob of non-textual data in the notebook that pops up in a diff and makes it basically unreadable and (b) I can't really see the benefit, as it only stores some part of the data, and not the full table, as far as I am aware.

Enforcing Jupytext is a good adaption, and gives you all the, arguably really nice, comfort from a notebook, and the proper code practice from SW engineering.

marimo notebooks give you the best of both worlds (https://marimo.io)

you think that a few deaths would stop this? optimistic...

it's institutional corruption at all levels, legislative, executive and judicial. A systemic failure that favour abnormous private profits over basic rights of the citizens.

The effort required to change the situation is massive.

What right exactly? I don't think there's a human right for access to all IP addresses.

> In the Summer of 2016, the United Nations Human Rights Council released a non-binding resolution condemning intentional disruption of internet access by governments. The resolution reaffirmed that "the same rights people have offline must also be protected online." [1]

these things need to be brought to an international court who would require the government to act. Otherwise nothing happens, because institutions are completely corrupt.

It takes time, money and a strong legal team, but maybe IT companies maybe can put this together?

it's not complicated at all, it's how operating systems present them to the users.
