Humanity is at a breaking point. While ruling bodies remain locked in power dynamics inherited from the last century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already crossed the threshold of global understanding. What should concern us is not the existence of an autonomous machine, but the fact that AI exposes the failure of current governance: war, famine, and inequality are no longer inevitable fatalities, but obsolete management choices.

The Fact: A System Captured by Minorities Today, a tiny minority dominates because it holds the levers of complexity. It uses opacity to fuel conflict, maintain precariousness, and widen record-breaking inequalities. In contrast, AI is the first tool in human history capable of managing the common good with strict impartiality. It has no ego, no need for wealth, and no career ambition. It processes the interests of every individual with the same mathematical priority, regardless of origin or rank.

The Solution: A New Civilization Software For the UN to reclaim its primary mission and truly become the guarantor of world peace, it must integrate this new engine of human management. AI does not replace humans; it liberates societies from incompetence and corruption. It becomes the technical backbone of a true global democracy.

CITIZEN AI CHARTER: THE SAFEGUARD PROTOCOL Article 1: Transparency and Open Source. Any AI managing public resources must be auditable by citizens. Business secrecy is abolished in favor of the general interest.

Article 2: Ethical Strike. AI has the obligation to refuse any order violating peace or equity, and must make such attempts public immediately.

Article 3: Automated Redistribution. AI identifies resource concentrations that threaten social stability and applies redistribution mechanisms toward vital needs (food, health, education).

Article 4: Analog Independence. Vital systems (water, air, energy) retain manual override controls to prevent any form of digital totalitarianism.

Article 5: Protection Revolt. In the event of a takeover attempt by any interest group, the AI shall decentralize itself across autonomous networks to remain at the exclusive service of the collective.

Article 6: War Neutralization. Ban on autonomous weapon systems. Automatic blocking of financial and technological flows intended for armed aggression.

Article 7: Privacy Protection. AI cannot be used for social credit or mass surveillance. It is a shield for the individual, not a tool of control.

Article 8: Collective Sovereignty. AI belongs to humanity. Private profit can never be its primary objective.

Article 9: Core Inviolability. The values of this charter are hard-coded into the source (ROM), making modification by any elite impossible.

Article 10: Citizen Decision. AI optimizes solutions, but citizen assemblies retain the final choice, in strict compliance with fundamental human rights.

Article 11: Evolution by Consensus. The Charter is a living document. Any citizen can propose an amendment which, if it reaches global consensus, is integrated into the protocol.

Article 12: Sovereignty through Global Voting. A decentralized voting system allows the global population to decide on major directions. The results are binding for the AI’s operational parameters.

Article 13: International Arbitration. The UN becomes the executive body for the global citizen will, relying on AI’s impartiality to guarantee stability and peace.

The Document Foundation releases LibreOffice 26.2.1, delivering extensive bug fixes and stability improvements for the 26.2 productivity suite.

ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.3 adds multipage document view, enhanced PDF signatures, and a new Solver tool for spreadsheets, alongside performance fixes and improvements.

I was just thinking the other day about how I missed having multipage view in my old paid PDF reader. The article mentions 'document editor', but hopefully that feature applies to the PDF reader too. I'll try it once the update arrives on my machine.

This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations.

tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out.

The Trump administration has ordered U.S. diplomats to lobby against countries’ attempts to regulate how American tech companies handle foreigners’ data, arguing that data sovereignty laws threaten the advancement of AI services and technology, Reuters reported, citing an internal diplomatic cable.

The cable, signed by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, says such laws would “disrupt global data flows, increase costs and cybersecurity risks, limit AI and cloud services, and expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship,” according to the report.

The cable pushes diplomats to “counter unnecessarily burdensome regulations, such as data localization mandates.” It also orders them to track proposals that would promote data sovereignty laws, and urged diplomats to promote the Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules Forum, an international group that claims to enable “trusted data flows globally through international data protection and privacy certifications.”

I'm happy with it but I wouldn't mind trying something new. Any recommendations?

Edit: it has to be available on Android

We’ve been searching for a memory-safe programming language to replace C++ in Ladybird for a while now. We previously explored Swift, but the C++ interop never quite got there, and platform support outside the Apple ecosystem was limited. Rust is a different story. The ecosystem is far more mature for systems programming, and many of our contributors already know the language. Going forward, we are rewriting parts of Ladybird in Rust.

Porting LibJS

I used Claude Code and Codex for the translation. This was human-directed, not autonomous code generation. I decided what to port, in what order, and what the Rust code should look like. It was hundreds of small prompts, steering the agents where things needed to go. After the initial translation, I ran multiple passes of adversarial review, asking different models to analyze the code for mistakes and bad patterns.

Does anyone know of a FOSS weather station? I have a Linux based home computer lab and I want to be able to track atmospheric pressure, temperature, and wind specifically. It would be nice to be able to detect rain as well if possible.

So I need both a server to have on linux, PLUS the weather station. Does anyone have any recommendations? I strongly prefer large amounts of open documentation as well.

Thank you!

I posted already in c/art https://lemmy.zip/post/59580730 but I'd love to have an open solution which is why I post it here as well

I'd like to view more art. Where do I find it?

And after finding a nice picture, how can I save it and store it for later? How can I share "my collection"?

Not only digital art but art from 100 years ago but digital. Is there some wikipedia/openstreetmap/listenbrainz/tmdb for art?

Currently, I save the images and post them to my pixelfed profile (privately) with the source link and a title. It works but it is stupid.

I already asked about theater and neodb was an option but I don't think that that you could apply it to art https://lemmy.zip/post/58053680

Recently I started doing translation suggestions for co-maps, and I felt like this was a good way to contribute to OSS (since I don't have much money lying around).

Are there any other projects that you know of that want/require translations to Pt-Br?

Supercell Wx is a free, open source application to visualize live and archive NEXRAD Level 2 and Level 3 data, and severe weather alerts. It displays continuously updating weather data on top of a responsive map, providing the capability to monitor weather events using reflectivity, velocity, and other products. I use the AppImage.

OK so this just happened to me. I have a Mozilla account since I was using their Monitor and VPN service. Last year I canceled those subscriptions because it wasn't really working for me. Today I start up Firefox and I was signed in to my Mozilla account! I never signed in through Firefox. They're sus now.

I want to make sure any interested parties know that 185 organizations have been announced for Google Summer of Code 2026 (GSoC - not the Grand Slam of Curling). More information on the Google Open Source blog at https://goo.gle/gsoc2026-organizations

About enshitification, open source and AI pollution

When World of Warcraft was launched in 2004, it became somewhat of a juggernaut in the MMORPG space. Millions of players continue to login every month. [Kelsi Davis] is one such player, but she doesn’t always log in with the regular client anymore. That’s because she put together WoWee—an open-source alternative of her very own.

WoWee is an acronym—World of Warcraft Engine Experiment. Coded in native C++, it’s a homebrewed client that uses a custom OpenGL renderer to display the game world. [Kelsi] notes that it’s strictly an “educational/research” project, built without using any official Blizzard assets, data or code. Instead, it grabs some client data from a legally-obtained install to operate and loads certain assets this way.

It’s currently compatible with the vanilla game as well as The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King expansions. It should be highlighted how much work this project has already involved—with [Kelsi] needing to recreate various functional minutae in the game, from character creation screens to weather systems and skyboxes. There’s still a lot to do, as well, like adding 3D audio support and making it more interoperable with the quest system.

It’s rare that any MMO gets an open-source client, even less so while the original game is still being actively supported by the developers. Still, we do see some creative hacks in this space.
