Hmm, as Ukraine shows, they’ll be mighty handy when the revolution comes ;}

We’re so damn lucky that LLMs are a dead end (diminishing returns on scaling even after years of hunting) and they just pivoted to the biggest Ponzi scheme ever, bad as that is (and the economic depression it will cause), it pales into insignificance compared with the damage these fucks would do with AGI (or goddess forbid ASI with the alignment they would try to give it).

On behalf of everyone with aphantasia, no that doesn’t work for me. Sigh. `

While SO is toxic, it’s mostly about the failure of the supplicant to do the fucking research (RTFM or equivalent these days goddammit, and is usually backed by ppl with actual knowledge, Chat GPT / LLMs., not so much.

I hear you, you makes sense, but that way lies the death of personal general computing, which would be a crying shame. You’ll have nothing and (won’t) like it a few years later, SaaS taking over powered by all those ‘AI’ datacentres. Peak phone could even have happened if RAM becomes prohibitive, instead they’re just windows on an all centralized, subscription web services. I see it as a pretty existential threat for my preferred way of life.

Can’t believe Cosmic Dare (Pretty with a Pistol) isn’t here already. Go watch Cowboy Bebop stat!

Eh, we could talk about security and the ancientness of X11, but the fact is wayland is where the dev is happening , you may lag a bit with LTS kernels, but it’ll get there.

Still wish I could cast an apps window to another machine (someone got a way with wayland) but otherwise with a modern kernel it significantly outperforms X. Give Bazzite a whirl, you’ll see.

Beautiful Soup (python library, bs4) is also fren

This, non ironically, teach them early there’s places (actually settings is a better word, but a more advanced concept) it’s OK and places it’s not. Bonus points for teaching them that the less they use swearing the more useful it will be at combating pain and stress (scientific fact BTW), so use it when needed, but generally make your point more civilly.

VSCode is super light on resources on linux, I have two running right now and they don’t break the top ten on btop (often). It can be done right, rarely is, but it can be. Generally electron is badly used, probably a skill issue, seeing as the skill is locked behind useless documentation, proprietary BS and whatever, but the ppl who made it actually make it work, might be black magic or chicken sacrifice…

Someone’s actually gonna take this seriously, and they’re right.

All of you who can’t understand the concept of feature complete (see syncthing drama for example) find something useful to do. I promise it’s out there.

A more cogent argument would be they’re enslaving Corvids to the capitalist ideal, but I suspect Corvids are too smart to care…

There’s a product? Are you a bot?

As to manipulation without disclosure, that’s pretty much politics, unfortunately the world we must exist in, for now. Totally agree that should change. Got good ideas ?

IIRC the other nine had to kill them, by beating with sticks? which makes it so much worse. Rarely used in extremis I believe.

You’re right (I think, damn timeline) but it’s the sort of AI Slop I can get behind, a call to action. It’s the sort of thing some politician somewhere will look at and go ‘there’s votes in that’ (and there is) and it ends up happening. Art has been used similarly for eons, I’m willing to give this a pass…

Eh, Syncthing-Fork is basically feature complete, it’s not even a significant exploit threat (on gOS and constrained to local network and storage spaces in my case, but probably in general). I just pinned it at v2.0.11.2 in F-Droid and will wait for things to shake out. If things go badly there’ll be a Syncthing-Fork-Fork, it’s too critical to too many peoples workflows.

Can’t win. (actually in your camp, last time I got the wetting agent thing…whatever Ima gonna use sky is blue. Or black, sigh. fscking internet. ;} )

In other news, water is wet. (A wetting agent for you pedants)

Sorry, don’t use Lutris, either Steam or straight to Bottles. But I’ll guess yes, with the dongle it comes up as a normal XBox controller unless you jump through hoops to get extra buttons going.
