Neon is great, but don’t use it for mission critical stuff. I’ve had updates brick my system before because it’s bleeding edge for KDE.

Mint is my go-to for when I want something to get work done and don’t want to fuck with it. Biggest gripe is the networking menu in Cinnamon kind of sucks for VLANs and it’s still on X11 until they finish making Wayland stable.

Which is ironic because AI unpredictably makes errors.

TIL you can add IMAP and POP3 to Gmail to import your email.

Why would anyone with another email service WANT that? Do you like giving Google even more data than they already have on you?

Green? As in Green Party? The environmentalist Republicans? That Green Party?

Pokemon Daycare…because we all know what happens in the daycare and how those eggs are made

I know I’m old because I saw 56k and immediately wondered why they were doing this over dialup.

Glad they optimized it. Last time I tried it the RAM usage was atrocious.

I mean GNOME is…fine. I don’t use it, because if I wanted something that chewed up 3-5GB of RAM I’d just run Windows, but if you like GNOME, you do you.

This is Linux. It’s all about choice. Run what you like. It’s your goddamn computer. And that’s what we all love together.

They only need to open source the kernel. They can build whatever proprietary stuff they want on top of the Linux kernel.

What’s that? More AI? -Microsoft-

Or just Linux. Why even bother with BSD?

The first two…I’ll graciously call them “sentences”… I got the context of…once I got to the third one, my brain was like “I haven’t partaken in enough brain rot to understand this new form of damaged English language”.

Careful. You’re going to get tetanus from sucking off clankers.

I think I developed a brain bleed reading this

The fuck is a glorp YouTuber?

There was a study done several months ago. I’ll try to find the source again and link it here in a comment edit.

[EDIT]

Couldn’t find the study, but here is an infographic that has similar data: https://infogram.com/ai-hellucination-report-2025-1h9j6q7mz7q354g

Hallucinations have improved, but the average for all models is still around 8-9%. Likely the study I read before was from last year, so the higher hallucinations rate is from that.

Even the best model hallucinates an average of around 1 in 100 times and OpenAI has stated publicly that hallucinations are mathematically impossible to eliminate entirely.

My company added an AI chatbot to our web site, but beyond that we generally are anti-AI.

Generative AI has an average error rate of 9-13%. Nobody should trust it wholesale and what it spits out.

It has some excellent use cases. Vibe code/sysadmin/netadmin’ing are not one of those things.

As someone who works in network engineering support and has seen Claude completely fuck up people’s networks with bad advice: LOL.

Literally had an idiot just copying and pasting commands from Claude into their equipment and brought down a network of over 1000 people the other day.

It hallucinated entire executables that didn’t exist. It asked them to create init scripts for services that already had one. It told them to bypass the software UI, that had the functionality they needed, and start adding routes directly to the system kernel.

Every LLM is the same bullshit guessing machine.
