Also I believe the whole “violates unix principles” thing. the one in question:

Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new “features”.

systemd just acquires more and more features. But then that was written in the 1970s. Things have changed, we have so much more going on in our computers, it’s easier to delegate a bunch of housekeeping work to a single, more centralized tool.

Using OpenRC or another init system instead means you get more fine grained control, but it also means you need to choose a bunch of utilities, whereas systemd just has a lot of them out of the box. And at the end of the day that’s just for power users to worry about, I suspect many end users will never be able to tell the difference between an OpenRC distro and a systemd distro given that both configure everything they need to use it.

I’m not a homophobe, you can do whatever the hell you want with other consulting adults as far as I’m concerned, but the thought of two men boning is still weird af to me. Like repulsive weird. But I’ve heard a similar thing about hetero intercourse and hetero PDA from a lesbian, so… I don’t think it’s abnormal to feel this way?

It’s great for libraries. Less so for applications.

€0.13/watt* here, random store I found online in my country, but it is a legitimate business, I checked that much. Not quite $0.12, but close enough and I didn’t spend much time looking for it.

Though I feel like just a few months ago I couldn’t find anything this cheap.

Either way, for me personally, my geographical location makes it kinda useless in the winter and for some months I’d have nothing to do with the excess I would produce from just a few panels - in the summer, there’s no point selling to the grid during daytime and the nights are too short to make proper use of any stored energy, you’d have fully charged batteries all the time.

Couple of months in spring and fall where things would run into a nice equilibrium though. Unfortunately not enough savings to pay for a battery. Think sodium batteries will change that over the coming years though, so I might go for it eventually.

* just noticed this is excluding VAT, so add 24% on top - but then price comparisons make sense without VAT anyway, since that varies by country. I think most US states have much lower sales tax than our VAT.

Hey the ending had to be as it was to remind you that it was NOT a documentary about your worst ex.

Well, maybe just me. There was tons of similarity in behaviour patterns until things went completely off the rails. 'cept mine wasn’t bound by a wish, but rather the desire to have complete control over me. Honestly think Nikki was less problematic in that regard, she at least had no choice.

I’ll agree that it’s a good device, but this being the Linux community, I suspect most people would prefer something running open source software.

Also apparently these days it’s like 250€, 320€ with ethernet and extra storage. No longer feels like a good deal to me, I had one when it was ~170€ with ethernet.

It’s the endless doom.

Whether you’re doomscrolling here or getting your “news” from Facebook and Fox “News”, all we get in our feeds is doom. Doom sells. Different doom for different folks.

So what IS a better streaming box if Chromecast and Android are out? IIRC Roku is enshittifying and Apple TV is great, but it’s even more proprietary and locked down than an Android box. Shield is also Android I think?

Luckily your Philips smart TV can become an unconnected TV that’s only connected to a NUC, raspberry pi, or other similar computer, running lInux.

Well that’s why you don’t buy it until it’s been fixed.

Personally not sure if I’ll ever buy it, but if I do it’ll be only after Linux is supported.

I’ve never bragged that I managed to install Arch (Or Gentoo for that matter), buuut let’s be honest, most people aren’t literate enough to follow directions. Complex words outside of their domain of expertise frighten and confuse most people.

But then the people who understand the complexity involved to understand the brag are precisely the people who themselves could easily install follow said instructions so it becomes kinda moot anyway.

The angry user case is gated by the human emotion capability so it never ran for omarchy users.

Well if you’re moving from Windows, you can just nuke the entire thing with automatic partitioning and it feels so damn good

But since that was a long time ago, these days I keep my / and /home on not just separate partitions but separate drives since all my SSDs are only 1 TB. The installer can do whatever the hell it wants to / but /home has to stay untouched.

Yea but you’re not a millionaire so you don’t have the same marketing budget.

Tech Bros want you to install it because DHH is a fellow tech bro and a millionaire

90% of Lemmy hates it because of DHH’s post about how he used to idolize London as a kid but now stays the fuck away because not enough white people.

What makes it special is that it comes preinstalled with hyprland so you don’t have to pacman it. What makes hyprland special is that it’s a tiling wm for wayland made by someone who, judging by their behaviour on discord and github, is 13 years old. You can just install it on Arch. You also get it as an option in the installer for CachyOS, meaning you can get it preinstalled on Arch without using Omarchy.

Also you can just use Sway, which is also a tiling wm for Wayland. Less eye candy, but probably more stable and less likely to have significant security issues.

Are there any non Debian systems that use apt?

Everything Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS. I don’t think any of them are planning on staying pure.

The fork would need its own kernel, since the kernel itself allows LLM. You’d also need to inspect each and every package periodically to make sure none have started allowing LLM usage and once you remove LLM-allowed packages, that breaks every dependent package as well.

Basically, you’re going to want to move to some form of BSD, or start a new operating system from scratch.

The problem isnt the fact snippets exist in a codebase.

No, that IS the problem legally, but it goes slightly beyond snippets, it’s also about having similar overall design.

The problem is, the entire fucking website is scraped clean of every codebase that has ever existed without paying a dime to their owner, notifying of their usage, and being transparent of their datasets.

That is also how humans work. Any code you write is going to be subconsciously influenced by code you’ve seen before, especially code you yourself have written in other projects that you may not legally own. Much like an LLM, the human brain is a black box in that you don’t always know where an idea or something comes from.

This is why clean-room designs are often necessary. You need to replicate something a GPL project does, you should only use devs that have never seen that GPL project’s code. Same for replicating proprietary projects, you don’t use people that have seen that project’s’ code. So again, either the whole issue is stupid and we can use LLMs too, or it’s a real issue and everything should be clean-roomed to avoid any chance of an accidental licensing issue.

You can’t verify that with humans either. Someone who has seen licensed code, whether proprietary or GPL, will accidentally reproduce snippets of it to accomplish similar tasks in the future.

Oh no, the people creating free shit for you to use that’s not monetized in any way, want to reduce their workloads. Scum!

What exact issues have you found in the LLM-generated parts of the Linux source code?
