It might be, but for some people that might, understandably, be already bad enough, a line in the sand if you will.

I’m reminded of this statement about LLMs and the kind of people who use them in the first place. It’s an early indicator that quality (and sovereignty) of the software is going to go the incline down.

Geez… problems never end, do they.

I’m barely active in Codeberg. Unless someone beats me by, say, end-of-month, I might file an issue about it; that said, I’d like to be able to offer at least one (1) functional alternative rather than simply +1’ing to the complains that this or that is Never Good Enough.

Damn it!!! 😵

Quick! Someone add it to Open Slopware!

Truly an actor of all time. Sometimes I think Oscars and Emmys and all that shit should be able to be granted retroactively (hellooooo, “you broke your little ships” scene).

It’s considered Problematic because of the person involved I think. There are a few alternatives such as the Bluey one and the Calvin one, but they are fairly well hidden in eg.: memegenerator.

You are almost inspiring me to go see this live.

That’s true, for now.

Licenses might not matter now but if enough of a communal current for respect of licenses and of punishment for license breaking ramps up, we might be able to see something like (L)GPL class action suits against large corporations, at which point it becomes possible to at least seek reparation for previous damages.

But as with anything and everything law-related, licenses are declarations of intent. Their validity is only substantiated by the holder’s capacity to pursue punishment.

Reminder that text does not convey sarcasm. In this world where it’s so wasy to cobble up a lie and spread it, it’s important to denote properly what stuff is intended to be a joke, eg.: use the </sarcasm> or /s tag.

Partly it’s more of “destroy an ecosystem”. Among languages, Rust is at the frontlines of a continuing trend to remove GPL-licensed, community toolkits and put corporate-friendly, AI-friendly toolkits in their place, eg.: replacing grep with openaigrep, which would basically be step 2 in the process of privatizing or corporatizing the Linux ecosystem (and leads to the loss of a number of user freedoms).

Excuse me but, can Rust even give me undecipherable Lore Ipsums of diagnostics at the same level that C++ can? If not, it’s not even a competition.

So it’s not “Rust destroys Debian”, it’s “Rust destroys Linux”?

Based zramctl. Makes my 8GB RAM system run like I had 12 GB, which is quite significant in this new internet world where opening a second tab in a web browser costs almost 600 MB.

That still exists? 👀

Thor’s voice: “All money is made-up”

You could, in the meantime, simply not upgrade to the version that uses AI.

Since, from what I’m seeing around, people are having issues looking for an alternative.

My ulcer’s stroke had an aneurysm when I read this.

“I use LibreOffice Writer and other Linux apps”. There, simple as that.

If they ask why and show a more actual concerned interest, I usually mention Microslop history of privacy invasions and history of deliberate incompatibilities in Office, and recommend a few links documenting that stuff as well as some legal hot waters Microslop has gotten into.

Could you build an interface on top of it to look exactly like discord with all of it’s functions?

In theory yes, and Movim is movim’ in that direction (yeah I invented that pun, blame me). That’s part of the trick with XMPP, it’s quite extensible.

He’s already talking to that machine of his that censors his drunken ramblings with cute little asterisks. I wonder what does that do to someone’s psyque tho.
