not exactly a DAW/VST but VCV Rack is a open source (though with a pro version , the pro version can work as a VST though I never used it in that way) eurorack modular synthesizer symulator if you want to experiment a bit

not entirely sure but this doesn’t feel like something the fsf would like . most definetly it violates freedoms 0. because it discriminates against companies with over 5 M$ in income and against people living in Japan (see 2.14 , though I’m not sure its enough to qualify) , and possibly by restricting what you can do with the software , though I’m not sure on that one . it also violates freedoms 2. and 3. by requiring publicly releasing your changes (fsf requires that free software licenses allow for private modifications) and possibly by requiring contacting the licensor or the post-open administration though I’m unsure of if it does (entering into a post-open source zero-cost / paid contract seems to me to imply contacting either the licensor or the post-open administration) .

I am doubtfull of LLMs ability to preform tasks via a protocol layer as described . from my experience these models really struggle with understanding rules and preforming actions within a ruleset .

To experimentally confirm my suspicions, I created the following prompt :

I have given this prompt to ChatGPT and it has failed in quite substantial ways . While I only have access to ChatGPT 3.5 , from my understanding of LLM architecture , it does not follow that increasing the size of the number or size of the layers will necessary let it overcome these issues , it does not seem to be able to understand the current state of the agent (picking up two objects at once , taking items from wrong cells etc)

sorry but I believe you are mistaken , there is both control and moderation on both the main fdroid repo and other repos .

• the official fdroid repo only requires apps to be fully FLOSS , see their inclusion policy
• izzydroid requires the app to be both free and gratis , not promote “violence, hate, harassment, racism and similar topics” and to have limited tracking see their inclusion policy

other repos only include apps from a single project/dev

reading through your comments I feel like the issue is of interpretation : what I , and possibly others , assumed you were trying to say is that non native English speakers have an advantage when trying to interpret the meaning of words , so sorry about that .

Thinking about it however , I believe I have been taught more about linguistics in my Polish lessons than in my English lessons . Unfortunately , as you have suspected many students will , I forgot a large portion of it , which I am especially unhappy about now that I am getting interested in recreational linguistics , I still remember some of it , with parts of speech (not to be confused with constituents (that joke would be quite a bit better in Polish as constituents literally means parts of (a) sentence in Polish)) being one of the most basic building blocks of language

ah I must have misunderstood your comment , I think you may have replied to a different comment than you have intended to ?

also just as a side note , one counter example is many autistic people , myself included prefer the term autistic person rather than person with autism , though to be fair that is moreso an adjective but the way you worded that sentence suggests its also incorrect in some cases yeah um

also I have never met a single copper , really must open myself to new experiences /j :)

not OP but in Polish there is no word for boyfriend or girlfriend, you just say boy or girl which is kinda funny. however because Polish has grammatical gender, you can say boy friend/girl friend and even enby friend, thanks to neoforms! (przyjaciel, przyjaciółka, przyjacioło)

though note that partner is also gendered (partner, partnerka, partnerze)

something I’d like to add is that while you were not told the rules, you likely learned quite a few of them subconsciously.

personally to this day I struggle with what present perfect and others are, but I can use them easily. similarly I can’t say which grammatical case is which in my native language but I have no issue using them.

sorry but I think you are misjudging just how much you learn both grammar and vocabulary from speaking a language natively and possibly misjudging how well education can teach someone a language

languages are these surprisingly complex and irregular things, which are way easier to learn by doing than by trying. often entering school you can already use tenses or grammatical structures that students learning English as a second language will struggle with a few years later in their educational journey, while you can spend that time unknowingly building up an even better subconscious understanding of the language.

Besides, from my experience, having basic Polish and extended English mind you, the tasks you are expected to do in the lessons of ones native language require a way higher degree of mastery than those in the second language of a pupil.

Also, it should be noted that non native speakers, or fluent speakers of multiple languages, can often borrow things from another language into English, either translating fraises literary (ex. once in a Russian year instead of once per blue moon) or using a unrelated word which happens to have a connection in the other language for other reasons (ex. castle and zipper both translate to “zamek” in Polish)

also mind that for a not insignificant number of people, though due to how more connected our world is today this has slightly decreased in the recent years, the level of English they ended up with from school is quite poor.

I mean yeah it is very overblown , sorry I did not make it clear

honestly , while I believe this is random=funny, I think it is interesting to interpret:

I believe that the person is a transmasc individual , who had a supportive grandma , but she died and he has been sent to conversion therapy by his unsupportive parents

While your comment is from three days ago, I thought its worth answering anyway. Please note that my main goal here is to answer your question, not to argue for or against either their or your position. I also would rather not to explain basics of socialist ideas, so if you have questions that are not that related to the interaction between socialist, specifically marxist, beliefs and cryptocurrencies, I ask you use your preferred search engine instead. For disclosure: my main lemmy account is over on lemmygrad.

Aside from common issues people find with cryptocurrencies, though note that socialists are likely progressives thus issues such as the environmental impact of proof standards may have a higher weight for them, many socialists, including marxists, which that user likely is, looking at the instance choice, may find the reasoning behind cryptocurrencies, to be limited in scope, specifically focusing on how financial resources are managed and who controls aspects of it, while socialists, especially marxists, usually find issue with how finance encourages seeking profit, which, according to socialist/marxist beliefs, is a negative way of organizing the world around us.

In other words, communists don’t consider decentralizing finance to be an effective way to take back control over the means of production from the capitalist class, as it does not address the unequal distribution of wealth, which socialists take issue with.

We are likely before the main exodus, so this will likely change, or so I hope.
