Are you allowed to use Meta's #llama AI? The license prohibits many things, and takes away your ability to sue people copying your work with AI.

You can't use it to change a website, for city planning, and many more things. Buyer beware!

We've recently started allowing students to use #AI for their master's thesis.

Do you think it's the right approach? Did we miss something? All feedback is welcome!

[Merlijn Sebrechts @mesebrec]

We need to stop saying math is fundamental to computer science. It scares away a lot of people, it makes it harder to teach programming, and it's not even true.

I explained why at the Newline 2023 conference of https://t.co/gDw6t8HLS2

I've had 3 different self-hosted VPNs for my business. They're usually confusing to add/remove users and eat up too much of my time to manage.

@mesebrec's Easy OpenVPN Server is by far the easiest and worth checking out if you want one less headache.

@popey Yes, but within reason. Community is important in open source software. If you are toxic, I will actively try to avoid your software.

[Merlijn Sebrechts @mesebrec]

It arrived! Now I'm officially an Ubuntu Member.

[Merlijn Sebrechts @mesebrec]

@castrojo Many of these are available for Ubuntu as PPAs or similar, but I don't think I need to convince anyone why I avoid them.

[Merlijn Sebrechts @mesebrec]

@castrojo The second category is stuff that pulls in half the world including "dirty" dependencies like x86 libraries: sommelier (wine) and latexml (latex to html converter).

Adding wine to my base system caused weird glitches in the past and requires x86_32 dependencies.
