  • btrfs’s handling makes sense. The kernel talks to the disk directly, the file is just a pointer for what range it uses, and a placeholder for the filesystem. Something like raid, balancing, cow, all won’t work because the kernel doesn’t even go through btrfs to change the swap"file".
    If you want a proper file as swapfile, with the corresponding overhead, you can make a regular file and mount it via loopback then use it as a swap device.




  • Or non bendy, like metal. Tube does a curve, straight thing won’t fit.
    But also this is likely made up. The pee tube does circular contractions just like your throat, moving stuff out very efficiently. Even something bendy shouldn’t go in more than you push it and immediately come back.










  • You ran a classifier on a stranger’s paragraphs, compared the score to your own, and diagnosed a mental illness from sentence rhythm.

    I felt something might be off, and asked. Got a hostile and weird response, and only then ran a classifier to have something that’s not just my own judgement. Of course this isn’t perfect.
    I also don’t claim you have ai psychosis, I explained why I care if you sound like ai or use ai.

    If writing in full sentences …

    It was a few specific phrases and the style of headers. “The “off-topic” defence has a hole in it.”, “What happened when this was reported”, “Three things to take from that” (from xda). Things like that.

    I wrote his best defence for him. You didn’t read it, but you did run a detector on it.

    I checked the last paragraphs of your post here on lemmy (which I read in entirety), nothing more. I didn’t read the xda post when I wasn’t sure this was worth spending more time on.
    I have now read it, I don’t see you mention the potential of a private agreement there either.

    Now the two questions you asked as if they were checkmate, both answered in the document before you showed up.

    Not sure which document you mean. But I asked to make sure you know what you are talking about (and because I was missing that info), and your answer makes sense, so that’s fine. That’s why I asked.

    Anyway, so the plus “fork” could have a private agreement, and telegram would fully legally be allowed to do that since they own all contributions? And at the same time contributers can’t sue, only telegram can, if the “fork” doesn’t have an agreement? Meaning either way Telegram lets this happen?

    As for downstream by itself, I don’t see any legal problem. If the “fork” dev wants to no longer publish code and only publishes 3 documents of text, that’s fully in their right. You can keep copies of the old code, but if there are no upstream requirements then nothing in gpl forces code to stay online. As code owner you can always make a closed fork.
    (That’s why software on gpl but with CLAs that sign over contributor’s rights, or software that doesn’t accept contributions, is fake foss. But that’s a different topic)

    I’d then say Telegram have a free “foss” branch and a paid closed branch based on it, which is a common business model for “foss” software companies.
    With the difference that Telegram obfuscates that by making the monetized project publicly separate, and would now potentially be hiding that fact by censoring discussion?



  • Not irrelevant at all. For one it’s something you should declare at a minimum, not doing so seems dishonest to me, especially on a foss community.

    I checked and it’s not just my impression, the “baseline ai detector” pangram also flags you reliably in all parts I tried for example (even more than me, I only get the impression from some paragraphs). So I would like to know why you use very ai-like phrases and formatting if this isn’ tai.

    Also, sounding like ai is a valid explanation for a lot of the treatment you described. You call yourself “opensource-compliance-gh”, and revive a 6 year old github issue, by posting a lengthy text about legal stuff and morals that sounds like ai.

    And, if this is not ai, then sounding like it is a massive sign of ai psychosis, which would mean any facts you reference are suspect by default. “AI voice” is a sign of untrustworthiness, and for good reason.


    As for the actual post, have you actually made sure you understand the legal situation? Have you tried finding out from the devs if there is a special licensing going on? Have you checked for CLAs (do you even know what that is)?

    PS: “Irrelevant. Stick to the topic.” is how you talk to an ai, not a person. You don’t command prople like that, it’s at best extremely unfriendly.
