Any recommendations for free software backup programs that work on Windows? in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] thestarfraction@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks - realistically I'd probably be looking at a backup to an external drive. I am looking for a 'backup-strategy' rather than a dara sync. Regular checks might well not happen so it would be good if these were built in (like with deja-dup on Linux)

'install Linux' not really going to be an option in this case

Anyone know of any user friendly, FOSS, backup programs that work on Windows? If they were cross-platform that would be a bonus. Asking for a friend (no really, a family member)

Report: Potential NYT lawsuit could force OpenAI to wipe ChatGPT and start over in c/technology@beehaw.org

When little people torrent they get prosecuted, when Google steals all the text they can get their hands on, it gets legalised...

So you'd rather some of the world's biggest corporations get to monopolise AI profits (meanwhile pushing out some very dodgy 'creations' including b******* text masquerading as truth) while the people whose actual creative labour it is built on get nothing? Who's the real greedy ones here? Seems to me it's the likes of Google and OpenAI.
