       Andrew Ng, an adjunct professor at Stanford [...] told that the biggest tech companies hoped to trigger strict regulation with the "bad idea that AI could make us go extinct." "There are definitely large tech companies that would rather not have to try to compete with open source, so they're creating fear of #AI leading to human extinction," he told. "It's been a weapon for lobbyists to argue for legislation that would be very damaging to the #opensource community."https://www.businessinsider.com/andrew-ng-google-brain-big-tech-ai-risks-2023-10

       Time to let the cat out of the bag.I've been working on a new app to use your #Linux phones and tablets as secondary wireless "side displays" (not mirrors). This is based on #GStreamer, x264, #Mutter APIs, and low-latency UDP streaming, and will be designed to work on both ARM and Intel, regardless of hardware acceleration support. (Testing on a #librem5)This is still at an early stage, and will take some time to become usable. Thoughts and feedback?#gnome #linuxphones #apps #mobilelinux

       @bart No, it's pure GStreamer and UDP - which in the demos so far made it much faster than Miracast in terms of latency. It only works on Mutter because there is no standard "virtual monitor creation" API among desktops, and most desktops do not support this feature aside from Sway ("headless backend") and maybe KDE. If someone wants to expand it to other WMs, it is mostly a matter of expanding its small DBus library to support more DBus interfaces to other desktops.

       @dylanvanassche yup, this app is entirely symmetric. If you mean input support, however, that won't be there anytime soon

       Unpopular take: Threads is not that bad. It is a bridge between us on Mastodon and our friends used to old boring social media platforms, and is the first adoption of the ActivityPub on a non-niche platform while keeping perfect interoperability with it. Even #Bluesky in its "openness" is basically an opposing standard (and currently login-walled?), whereas Threads at least tries to connect with the existing communities out here. #threads #mastodon #activitypub

       Two years after leaving Twitter, this account has finally overtaken the amount of people who followed us there ๐ŸŽ‰ The #Fediverse still feels like a place to discuss with talented people, and it replaced the feeling of doomscrolling with that of being in a real, vibrant community.  Thank you all.

       ๐Ÿชž Introducing Mirror Hall, an app to turn any Linux devices into a second wireless monitor.We offer custom P2P screen sharing optimized for latency. Only Mutter-based DEs are currently supported as *senders*, whereas all DEs work as receivers.This is our first unstable release, sp please be kind and report issues. If you are an #ARM user, we would love your help testing the gstreamer pipeline on new phones!https://notes.nokun.eu/post/2024-09-22-mirrorhall/#linux #opensource  #foss #gnome #apps #gstreamer

       I will present Mirror Hall for the first time at #FOSDEM next month [1], and wrote a guide on how to develop similar home-grown desktop streamer solutions last month [2].There's only a couple of weekends until then for small improvements to the app, so if you have any particular wishes let me know! ๐Ÿช„1. https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4527-mirror-hall-building-virtual-network-displays-to-bridge-mobile-and-desktop/2. https://notes.nokun.eu/post/2024-09-22-mirrorhall/
