Ouff, this article hits hard… and makes me rather glad I’m trying to do my own thing.

Wait, if my brain runs and uses Linux then…

Oh god…

ADHD is a zombie LLM process constantly spitting out vaguely related nonsense, draining your energy and processor cycles for nothing productive.

It all makes sense now.

Meanwhile Fedora‘s (Red Hat) dominance is never even questioned.

Huh? Pretty sure it’s constantly questioned, especially by those who reject systemd. Sometimes that isn’t hate, but well-reasoned (but occasionally badly worded) rejection.

The hate some have for Ubuntu and Omarchy is ridiculous.

Wasn’t Omarchy made by a fash, TERF or some other kind of extremist? Harmony is great and all, but like with tolerance it can’t be absolute.

Ubuntu gets their well-deserved amount of criticism in my eyes since they still haven’t published the damn Snap server source code (afaik). A distro that had such great ideas in the past like including Amazon ads inside the desktop or silently symlinking apt commands to snap have to do a better job to regain community trust, instead they reject efforts like Flatpak or AppImage and build partial closed-source.

I like harmony too, but please don’t attempt to deligitimise well-reasoned criticism.

Reminds me of the ad during Artemis 2 launch that literally spoke of “US Exceptionalism” in full honesty. They’re so high up their own arses, of course stuff like this is bound to happen. Reminds me of Russia in 2022, Trump is basically in a US demystification speedrun.

Oh my god, how where those ever a thing

And Trump is gonna pay for it!!!11!1 /s

One more thing I should’ve mentioned: It’s important to make a (free) account if you try it. Although they still offer a chat interface without it, that interface is then connected to one of their very small models and lacks the “Thinking” feature (same as ChatGPT’s “Reflection”). Not very useful in most cases and more of an appetizer.

Certainly interesting. I’d recommend you to take a look at Mistral AI (“Le Chat”), they’re a European company and far more trustworthy in terms of data security and privacy (GDPR and such) than US products. Their models are all available for self-hosting which might provide more flexibility in the future in terms of self-hosting and their web service doesn’t try to aggressively extract every data point from you (although you perhaps circumvent that with the proxy anyway). In my personal experience it’s also more likely than e.g. ChatGPT to admit when it doesn’t know something (or ask for specific data it needs) instead of making shit up, but I don’t have definitive data for that claim.

Of course I don’t know how well it works in Japanese or from Japan, if you try let me know! 🙂

Hated, the new Systemd component. It replaces sudo cursing at you and occasionally discriminates some users on the system. Once every few years it revokes your admin privileges for some bogus reasons and tells other users false log readings supposed to show that you’re a danger to the system.

I think your compass is a little bit borked. 🫠

The source is even linked ffs

Not quite

You do realise there are many different jurisdictions om this planet, right? Some fight back more valiant against this shit than others.

Of course it’s still up in the air where which law will be introduced, but assuming every single distro or project has to follow the same laws is naive.

Or simply assume you didn’t suffer enough yet. Because everyone who strongly suffers will start praying, right?

“Some of the guests might be copyright lawyers” got me good.

For context if you didn’t watch it, she looks like Ayase Seiko from Dandadan who supposedly is also a grandmother but unacceptably hot. (It’s a funny unhinged anime, can recommend)

I know Paypal once blocked some stuff because some abbreviation or meme got flagged due to a sanctioned company having the same initials, but I can’t remember ehat exactly it was… went through some news.

Totally fine. The only issue could come from legal implications since the domain registrations are managed by different organisations in different countries (leading to your registration data being an open book with .net domains but most likely unavailable with .nexus). However unless you’re silly enough to host a very gay social media instance using the TLD from god damn Afghanistan you’re probably fine (yes, that happened).

When vibecoders let the slopmachine set up a "My"SQL database and don’t check where it stores the API key.

Damn, the Lutris rule is spreading quickly.
