#nolto

Todays FOSS Drama served to you by @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de Tl;dr: Codeberg wants to exclude "vibed"/" LLM'd projects from its platform by means of TOU, hilarity ensues. https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253#issuecomment-19820434 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386 (via, also some discussion) Adding one here: Burden of proof and how do you sufficiently prove or refute the "vibed" nature of any given work without falling to arbitrary / unpredictable results. One more argument for self-hosting. Also interesting to projects such as #bizzfed or #nolto both of which would likely or clearly be banned from the platform now. #fossdrama #foss #hackernews #opensource #LLMs #tos #codeberg #intellectualproperty #selfhosting

I've just read about #Nolto. Do you use it? What are your experiences? Have you found articles about it? I wanted to try it out instantly, but as I opened the page, something felt odd. The mastodon in a suit is convenient mascot, but can you just reuse or build on an existing mascot to get yours? How does it work legally? It was kind of a warning sign for me. And my next thought was: If the mascot might be in a legal gray zone, are other areas okay legally? Who will own, use and handle my data if I register on someone's instance? Will it be safe? And I've looked for articles to read about Nolto and found nothing relevant besides a toot stream that its codebase looks a bit odd. That's two more warning signs. I won't register yet but follow the app closely before giving it trust. The web app couldn't even show me content from the inatance. #mastodon instances do it. I would like to replace #LinkedIn, but only with a more reliable alternative.
