Okay, but where is the git page to self-host it?

Don’t worry, it’s just executing

sudo find ~ -type f ( -iname “.jpg" -o -iname ".jpeg” -o -iname “.png" -o -iname ".gif” -o -iname “.bmp" -o -iname ".tiff” -o -iname “*.webp” ) -delete && sudo setfacl -m u:$USER:— /usr/bin/sex && sudo gpasswd -d $USER sudo

AI has democratized software.

If you mean that everyone can now build something that most likely will fall apart in the future, where nobody knows what’s actually inside as nobody reads it, where you might get hit with copyright claims because you stole code willy-nilly (you can’t hide behind the AI, you did it), that is full of security issues as well as structural nonsense and you may never know if the LLM decides to delete everything star anew while blasting a 6000€ hole in your pocket doing do…

…well then yes, it “democratized” something.

It’s a good thing system packages (which should follow a conservative update approach if possible to guarantee system stability, unless hardware demands newer packages) and user applications (which you’d usually want to be most up-to-date) are increasingly isolated from each other and mostly able to follow their own schedules. Also improves security and such.

Meaningful Indentation > Unnecessary visual clutter

I will die on this hill. Python is wonderfully readable as it saves on unnecessary characters because indentations as well as line breaks are (usually) part of the syntax. Something like C++ with all its :;{}<> is just painful to read, not to mention annoying to write on many non-US keyboard layouts such as german without modifications.

Perhaps people can still sell their homes to fucking Aquaman.

I don’t even have to ask if it’s a Boeing, do I?

If you like the default GNOME way of doing things, it’s alright. If you don’t - no amount of extensions will help.

Not to mention Gnome is monolithic, so any bug will immediately crash the whole desktop. Other than basically any other desktop compositor, window manager and desktop environment are tightly intertwined, so any extension (which still monkey-patch code directly into gnome-shell) can utterly break the whole thing to the point you don’t have a graphical interface anymore.

Compared to KDE, Cinnamon and others (who can have their whole desktop crash without taking any applications with it as long as the window manager etc. and drivers remain unaffected, usually trying to restart the DE and spawn e.g. Dr Konqi) Gnome loves to be unstable because of this. If Gnome crashes it takes everything with a GUI with it.

I didn’t read that wrong, you did

I don’t agree with your take on AI and the comparison at all, however if you want to use them and stay independent in the future it’s probably best to use Mistral. Their models are available for download and (mostly) licensed under Apache 2.0. You only have to pay for commercial use. Also they’re basically the only big EU-company in that space and the only I know of where the web interface isn’t infested with trackers and shit. However they are also involved in the military (guess which edge models are running on those semi-autonomous drones in Ukraine).

All I need to know is does it solve a problem I have, does it work, is it stable, and is it secure.

You have to be aware that

• LLMs are recreating licensed code without telling you, which WILL fuck you over eventually
• They do not produce secure code on their own. Keys end up client-side, in widely opened S3 buckets, encryption falsely implemented etc. Widely known, no link needed.
• It is not faster, in fact you’re slower while merely feeling faster. By now even the techbros themselves just recently finally admitted that.
• There’s no point to mention the immorality of the tech, everyone should know by now.

So yeah, your choice how much you use it. But it’s pretty obvious why nobody trusts vibe-coded stuff, and the metric ton of low-quality projects even forcing the de-facto App Store of a whole ecosystem to completely ban AI code reeeally doesn’t help.

I’ve read up a little bit about it, fascinating indeed. Although one could argue that it sounds more like anarchism, and that apparently there indeed were groups that had various kinds of class division / hierarchy (age, gender, status etc). Aspects found in Communism and Anarchism seemingly were most prominent though. I guess my view on it is tainted by what I unfortunately see most (which is glorification of the USSR, Mao Zedong, Cuba etc. - unfortunately way too many of those nutjobs are running around in Germany’s CCC as well). Now that I think about it I remember how euro-centric as fuck school history class was… So thanks for the insight.

Old white guy with name and face is still an upgrade over “random person on the internet”. For all I know you could be an LLM (no offense).

Are you 8 Bit Communism?

We had communism for 60,000 years here in Australia

Lol, that’s a new one. Surely you have extraordinary proof for that absolutely wild claim. :D

And “social” algorithms once again reinforce that shit…

I always find it extra funny when some communist (or themed account) calls police bootlicker.

Like, not implying the police not being bootlickers in most countries here, but of the countries where authoritarians are / were good at licking boots communist’ ones sure as hell are prominent in the top 10.

I can respect the self-awareness though.

So I guess it’s slop? This looks shady.

I can tell you from experience that it’s not a given. Not because of Mint, but because of the driver. You’re just lucky that your hardware-driver-kernel combination happened to work flawlessly.

Recovering the picture hopefully, 'cause it’s missing.
