Good clarification. I’m convinced we will end up bailing them out anyway. We should nationalize and operate as a public good if generative AI is that important to society.

Neat!

I’m glad I’m not the only one!

Does anyone like LLM summaries in pages? This seems like a better fit for a browser extension to generate a summary on demand instead of wasting resources generating it for everyone. Google’s documentation is absolutely littered with the mess.

What about https://swappa.com/? I haven’t used it myself but have been tempted.

I really think tools like voiden, hurl, and verb make sense. They make it easier to troubleshoot a system later or to share requests with other developers without leaving the repo. The only real challenge becomes handling authentication scenarios without putting secrets in plain text.

Speaking of writing a thesis, I imagine that leaves plenty of room for PTSD! I personally like the direnv support for emacs much more than other environments, and I’ve become a big fan of ripgrep and fuzzy finding.

Ha! I still love it though

I’ve been enjoying verb.

I’m not mad about this, especially with Google pushing Gemini so hard on all their devices. I pulled up the Chromebook site to see their current offerings, and the prominent advertisement for Gemini is pretty disgusting after fresh news of another death.

Yes this is true, and it’s good to remind everyone. I just had a random idea for the (rare) exception to the rule.

Age verification is stupid. I wonder if anyone thought of using a captcha. Require users to solve an appropriately complex problem before they use systems that require a certain amount of intelligence.

Would be fun to embed empathy quizzes for access to social media 😄

Why would anyone think this is a good thing? You’re actively telling the world that your product is likely full of bugs and hard to maintain.

When I first saw this I mistook Calibri for Cambria. Why were they using Calibri (a sans serif font) at 15px for documents in the first place?

Associating the change with DEI is absolutely ridiculous, but Calibri was a silly choice. I think they should make everyone use LaTeX personally 😄

I’m getting ready to do the same thing - just need a couple hours of extra time to take the plunge!

Yep that’s I read from 2023.

He responded in a couple of blog posts:

• https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-hyprlandsCommunity
• https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-inclusiveActivists

I opened up the discord community just now to see what was there, and I just saw people being goofy and talking shit to each other. In all fairness, I wouldn’t hang out there either, but that doesn’t mean anything.

To summarize, I don’t see the Hyprland devs trying to harm others. Folks like DHH are a different story. Of course this might all change tomorrow - who knows?

I’m ok with those things too. I just recently found out about all the crazy stuff after the rubygems takeover. I’m not really a ruby fan, but that seemed pretty shady.

Edit: meant to reply to another comment.

Corrected comment

DHH is clearly a turd, and I want nothing to do with his projects.

I’m not sure I understand the opposition to Hyprland though. I enjoy using Hyprland, so I’ve tried to make an informed opinion on whether the project is harmful. Note that I have only reviewed public information, so I might only be seeing the tip of the iceberg.

According to his blog posts, the creator of Hyprland seems to have received criticism well enough (back in 2023). Are other people in the community the main concern or am I missing something? Forgive my ignorance

I think there’s a healthy amount of bs in there (Chrome, C# as traditional?), but some of it checks out. I like a mix of old and new but try to stay away from proprietary. Current favorites are probably Emacs, NixOS, and Rust.

Comping the kernel wasn’t so bad on Gentoo. I hated compiling OpenOffice on a P4 1.6GHz…
