When I was in highschool, for the first few months of my freshman year I had a couple of classes that took place inside those old “mobile home” style class rooms (idk what they’re called lol). They were old, kinda smelly, the AC unit was loud, and I loved it.

But then they finished construction of a new multi-storied building and relocated all those classes. Every classroom was an identical, minimalist cement rectangle with perfectly white walls and high tech whiteboards. I hated it, and actually felt like it made it harder to focus. Nobody agreed with me when I said the old classrooms were better :(

How are they so unable to differentiate a shitty edit from AI?

It’s just that most people don’t know what you mean when you say something is “AI generated”. With context clues, they tie back to terms they’re already familiar with, and are associated with fake computer generated imagery (“that’s Photoshopped”).

I think most people have never even seen Adobe Photoshop, the actual software. Like, literally never laid their eyes on the gray window, the layers and tool panels, etc, yet they’ve still thrown the term “photoshopped” around.

AI is here. Deal. With It. Your authoritarian chains have been shattered, knowledge Nazi. No longer will creation be a luxury for the mentally wealthy. It has now been fully democratized so that even republican voters will be able to code soon.

This is actually impressive. Y’all dunking on it probably don’t realize just how tiny this company is, yet they somehow managed to pull this off without being just another Clevo reseller. It’s a whole custom chassis that actually looks sick, and a sane keyboard layout.

Unfortunately, this is probably the worst possible time to launch a laptop. Those prices are wild, and I say that as someone willing to pay a premium for Linux support. I also already upgraded recently, so it’ll be a pass from me for now… But I wish them the best of luck!

Are there any real life scenarios where an untrusted user is allowed access to a machine with an unprivileged account? I know there are (or were?) some public shared machines where you can ssh in for fun, but those aren’t serious.

I’m thinking maybe a POS system or kiosk running Linux, and there’s shell access? This could possibly also be useful for jailbreaking devices that ship with Linux, but are locked down… Maybe like a car infotainment system?

AI is the most successful media franchise in human history

I’m not the guy you replied to, but what’s the point being made? It really does sound like they’re trying to say pay to play prevents cheaters.

Imagine you’re having a conversation with a stranger. He seems cool, you guys share some interests, even some controversial opinions. You two are on track to becoming friends! …But then right before the convo ends, he starts talking about how the earth is flat, and flouride in the water supply is a CIA conspiracy to make frogs gay.

That is the same visceral reaction I get when I read a sentence like this:

When I last wrote about my experience with CachyOS, I bemoaned the absence of the Arc browser.

Brainlets are getting pissed off over the gender pronouns of a cartoon fox while the real thing to be pissed off about is that this mascot represents their intention to go all-in on shoving AI features into Firefox. Kit is going to be their Claude, Siri, “Hey Google”, etc.

And just imagine how high it could go this year if fucking RAM prices weren’t exploding and Steam Machine/Deck/Frame could be sane

I wonder how true that is. The author of this blog post seems to just be taking this guy’s word for it. Did Anthropic actually confirm the bug exists by trying to trigger it on real systems, or are they assuming it’s real because it looks plausible? The report claims you cam do it with two cooperating NFS clients, so did they actually do that, or are they just assuming it’ll work?

Do you work for Zed or something? Why are you against this?

If you’re just a user, then when (not if) the project fully enshittifies, you’ll be happy Gram exists.

Sony is a close second, BTW

Do you have any examples? I’m not familiar with any major acquisitions Sony has made. Afaik the “acquire company, fire everyone, and run the business into the ground” strategy is mostly an American phenomenon.

Zed is on the typical VC tech company path, which we all know can only end in one way: enshitification.

• Eclipse Theia
• Gram
• Lite-XL
• Lapce

I really like this version of the internet. Instead of everyone using a megacorp’s giant centralized services, it’s better to have a ton of small services made by and for real communities/groups. Git’s decentralized nature is a perfect candidate for this, and I hope it takes off more.

Idk but you should at least suck a dick or two as a courtesy.

Yeah waste open source maintainers’ time by acting like a child. That will surely accomplish whatever you’re hoping to accomplish.

I think it’s more that Electron apps can be written in javascript, and there are way more javascript developers than any other kind. So you’re naturally going to see a lot more javascript software.

So it is, quite literally, a skill issue.
