Pulseaudio.
Mr Torvalds and his now favourite AI toy.


Noted. Will find time to migrate to NetBSD by then.


Steve French. The name’s Steve French. I can’t understand why as a reporter they don’t think the name is important enough to be in the title.
What was really the problem? If you compile it the first time, the second time it only compiles the files you’ve changed. No matter how big your monorepo is, as long as it compiles overnight, there shouldn’t be any impact to the speed of work.


I just love how your comment and the other one which stresses the importance if XDG spec. It’s a free society. Keep your XDG crap to your place until I say otherwise.
I think you mean doing that for more than once has no extra effect on an SSD. Shouldn’t we overwrite the unencrypted content for at least once?


Will we ever get to the point where we are too tired to explain why we hate systemd, and the point where we get respect for deciding to not use systemd? To me it’s about the same level of asking me “why be a lesbian” now.


Why vote? Debian started out as a project created by humans and it stays that way. Anyone who wants to use LLM/AI shall fork.


All the majority knows is that they are escaping Microsoft. Even if Valve releases proprietary binary crap in the next cycle they’ll still be happy to install it.
Be careful posting articles like this. I’m quoting some parts of it before anyone jumps to conclusion without reading it.
What does the policy say?
The policy summarizes itself this way:
It’s fine to use LLMs to answer questions, analyze, distill, refine, check, suggest, review. But not to create.
Pre-arranged, non-critical, high-quality, well-tested, and well-reviewed code changes that are originally created by an LLM are allowed, with disclosure.
Moderation rules
You must disclose LLM-generated content. You can choose to not post LLM content, or you can choose to post it and disclose its origin. You may not hide LLM involvement.


I can see we might have different definitions of “application”. You know what I meant. Without the back end the APK does nothing. Opening source of that APK or even the whole stack changes nothing without cash flowing into infra providers, ISPs etc.


Yes, try some community like asklemmy instead, seriously. You people are spamming this community with unrelated content. Just because we may happen to know the answer to your question, does not mean this question fits here.


Yeah? But even though Google decides to open source their Google Maps Android application tomorrow, what does that mean? Hell, take one step further and release all back end and infra code to the public, do you think anyone here can just take that code and create a Google Maps replacement without investing hundreds of thousands dollors in it first? What machines will those back end code run on? What map does the application renders without map data? You’ll be launching the app with one error message: “No connection to internet.”
“Rape and adultery are a major boost to reproduction rate and infancy survival rate therefore are very useful. Embrace it. Enjoy it.”
Haha. Do you people have no morality?


I believe you are asking for a service, not an application, let alone it being open source or not.
Please, could you post it on a community more fit to your topic next time?


Being slightly more useful isn’t the only problem AI needs to solve. What about morality issue? Sure, slavery is very useful, but some of you, including me, ban Nestlé products. Why do you not have the same standard with products that are produced by, or assisted in production with AI?


There is a project called Inkbox (renamed to Quill now it appears) which is Linux built with musl libc and Qt on top, that runs on Kobo. Hey, that’s open source too! So why yet another open source project with hardware?


Can’t be cheap being a crowdfunded product, but not expensive either. The biggest turn-away I can see is the small screen. Most e-ink readers nowadays start at 6". A 4.x" screen will lose a considerable chunk of potential backers.
“Responsible use of AI”? Is that a joke? There is no such a thing as responsible use of AI. Responsible people would refuse to use AI.
But anyway, Linux is already AI. Sticking to any one of those BSDs is the only way out.
