I have a feeling that in order to achieve using deep learning (because let’s face it; it’s not AI) as a programming assistant, AI companies didn’t need to do half the shit they’ve done.

The resources being outright burnt on their endeavours haven’t served any useful purpose. You don’t need data centres covering the globe and to destroy thousands of rare books to assist with code, or find cancer in a scan.

Well, so far Linus is the only person in the world, it seems, that is using AI as a tool instead of a crutch. So I agree with that sentiment.

I keep seeing headlines like this, and of course conveniently leaving out how Torvalds chewed people out for vibe coding.

Torvalds didn’t vibe code away the Linux bug. He actually knows what he’s doing.

I’m using a Firefox based alternative, LibreWolf.

But… Why?

You might end up exactly where you want to be, and not want to be at the same time.

The windows applet works just fine through Proton.

Yeah, ditched Windows 10 as soon as I could. Most of the tools I use have Linux native versions.

Sad I never got to experience it.

The 2008 financial crises rendered me homeless through my teenage years and my early adult years. I went from experiencing Windows XP/Mac OSX 10.4 straight to Windows 8.1 (I just missed Vista and was quickly introduced to Windows 10).

“Back in my day” if a platform or service would look at all your messages and sell the data it would be called active spyware and we treated that like the antichrist.

Issue on the last point. The previous 3 or 4 generations are ruining society, and are responsible for the state of the next generation.

Woaw, never coulda seen that coming.

Sodium batteries work great at large scale (think huge. Like industrial power grids), but really not at miniaturisation.

Lithium batteries work at miniature scale, but suck at large scale.

I don’t get it. Why leave out Adult Only titles? Why don’t they count?

Proton is a fork of Wine, and Wine Is Not Emulation!

I don’t have time to watch this video right now, but as someone who’s uses an Intel Arc A770 for two years, there are certain aspects which are no end of trouble.

Namely anything that has to do with raytracing, and especially Unreal Engine 5 for some reason.

Somone scam computer?

Haven’t used Facebook in… Probably over 10 years.

That’s the same everywhere. Like here, like on Reddit, like in real life, people have ideas and then say “won’t somebody do something about it!”

Everyone likes to imagine doing something but nobody actually wants to do anything.

Anecdotal example; the beginning of this year proved that Discord is in bed with supplying profiling training model data to ICE in the United States. That made me want to nope the fuck out. Why stick around where every word you write will contribute to the ability for fascist agents to shoot their next victim? Tear apart the next family?

So me and a friend set ourselves to build an as-close-as-possible drop-in replacement Matrix server for all our Discord friends.

Nobody came.

Fucking nobody came.

Everyone recognises the problem, but when it comes to taking a simple action, a dead easy simple action like make an account on a server owned by a friend they’ve known for a very long time, all we got were excuses. “But nobody else is moving”, “maybe I’ll consider moving when it gets even worse”, “I just wish somebody would do something…”

So it’s not Bluesky. It’s humanity.

Of they’re doing “Proton support” why not just make a Linux version.
