indeed! The open source community should adopt LLM powered mailing list filters. Basically new age version of “protection money” as you pay AI firms to stop other AI firms from drowning your organization.

Joking aside, the dead Internet theory is unfortunately looking pretty accurate.

kinda like an anglerfish in that you are lured into a false sense of security which makes the straight to the jugular scathing responses even more effective.

Giuliani had the NYC emergency management/crisis center relocated to the WTC despite experts warning him that was a bad idea.

I’ve been using some variation of Linux since the mid 90’s but never been able to fully switch over. That said I am on my longest and perhaps permanent switch over with KDE EndevourOS (Arch based). I don’t believe this is what you are hoping for but I do believe it is close so perhaps something to keep an eye on for the future.

I have gotten Teams to run once for a about an hour before it crashed and now I can’t figure out what proton/wine voodoo witch doctor recipe I used.

No idea what luck you will have with RDP or RustDesk.

KDE plasma’s window tiling manager is really damn cool but has no documentation. Still you can do neat stuff with it like having a floating window tile on top of another tile (basically an always on top state but on steroids) with distinct tiling arrangements for each virtual desk space.

Scaling has been good but font support is still at the “almost but still not perfect”. A graphics designer might be in trouble.

Drivers - This is where Arch’s pacman (software package manager) and pkgbuild really shine. If it can compile and is available as a git repo, an rpm, or deb file then there is a good chance you can get it working. That said there are still an unfortunate mountain of unsupported stuff.

Otherwise, with all the improvements to Wine via proton and the other forks, it is getting easier to run a lot more Window’s applications.

Like I said, EndevourOS/Arch with KDE is getting pretty close to being an easy jump from Windows but not 100% perfect.

Even the Nazis, the literal ones from the 30s and 40s, were not as inhumane as we treat our homeless, chronically ill, an disabled.

At least they would outright murder them while here they end up dead behind dumpsters or just outside hospitals. I did a lot of volunteer and community work until I had reached my limit of seeing how fucked up things are at the bottom.

not just democracy but whatever is left of the economy will evaporate.

preemptive response to how invincible the US dollar is, a lot of people said the Titanic was unsinkable.

They can’t make it to obvious this is the bad place.

“Alright so this system is called ‘testing’ but you need to get two seniors to sign off plus a good reason to push an update.”

/What about this system?/

“Oh, that’s where we do all are actual testing, just be careful not to break it too much.”

/Alright, what is it called?/

“Uhm, I think its called prod or something like that. The root password is written on a sticky note on the upper right corner of John’s monitor.”

/Who is John, the senior dev or something?/

“What? Hahaha no, John is just the summer intern.”

My friend in Greece sent me a couple pictures of Gerald asking if I knew which one it was. Took me a moment because I was shocked with how bad of a condition she is in, and this was before the fire! Everything about that ship screams fraud, waste ,and abuse of public trust.

I am kind of baffled by the absence of food in the US military, especially the US Navy. That’s like the third item on the logistics checklist with ammunition and fuel being first and second.

This also gives some credence to rumors the fire was deliberately started on Gerald due to moral issues.

I am partial to “Operation Epstein Fury” or OEF2

I actually don’t mind “AI” with coding but really this is all secretly just a surprise attack from the “We don’t need to do maintenance and tech-debt isn’t a real thing” crowd.

For anyone with any professional/commercial experience knows, the auto-slop factory is a dream come true for management as they just keep pulling the techno slot machine lever over and over until it works and then ship it.

At a bigger picture, everything is or is becoming absolute shit for quality but somehow more expensive. Now software (and hardware) is falling in line and embracing entropy. Wait until that old fogey idiot Linus Torvalds passes on and we’ll get AI slop in Linux the minute after the Dr calls it.
