I don’t choose Omarchy, I don’t need hyprland and don’t like how they embrace vibe coding, but it saddens me that people are so angry. I haven’t read any of his screeds or tweets and don’t give a fuck about any of it, but how is not discounting software on account of project lead’s racism same as… being in the same room with mass children murderers? And their sympathizers? These metaphors are not working.

You can disagree over dietary preferences not over “is hitler in my supply chain a problem?”.

I can disagree about whether DHH actually is Hitler. Also, I don’t have a supply chain, I use a Linux OS. I actually have no problems with said OS being made by nazis and/or racists, so long as the software is good. I wouldn’t click a EULA that demands I condone nazis or racism, but that’s a separate story; cancel culture has done nothing good but further divided people. That said, there are legit reasons not to use Omarchy, such as their idea of slopmachines vibefixing bugs directly from user reports.

Yes, I use CachyOS at work. I use Libreoffice calc or Python instead of Excel, though I have access to some web version.

What the fuck does that have to do with the Linux distro? Many everyday products you use are made by people you don’t agree with. It’s called society.

I disagree, I met people from reddit at meets IRL and we played darts and drank beer.

Their moat is people not being arsed to make an account on a service that’s not actively hostile to its users.

The idea that anything other than my needs should factor into the generation of text for me is patently offensive.

Primary reason I’m not using any hosted LLMs is I can’t stand and don’t want to start relying on tools that can be stealthily enshittified or made an advertising tool.

unfortunately the size of the US economy means that will flow onto the rest of the world

Yeah, yeah, we’ll survive, just lance the fucking boil

Stuart Russell: ‘What Hitler Did, AI Could Do Faster, Better and More Efficiently’

Depending on how much we integrate it into all our shit I fear it could also do it imperceptibly.

I’m not using Ubuntu anymore, but just want to spit on Canonical.

Lol fucking Telegram, let me block you now.

Not only that, Russinovich through some magic made them keep this online: https://live.sysinternals.com/ and it’s the best site MS has, no bullshit whatsoever, dates showing when the tools were last updated. If you’re helping some unfortunate soul doomed to windows, it’s a great resource.

Just like Aaron Swartz

liveservice games completely lost any goodwill

And yet gacha liveservice shit reskins some fantasy into SF or the other way around every few weeks and makes good money.

Since almost 100k people tried it on Steam at launch and the next day it’s a ghost town, I’d say it’s very much whether the game is good or not. And 3 vs 3 on huge maps, with prefight busywork that feels like it could be skipped with no loss, on UE5 (which might be a good engine, but from high-end graphics games I learned to expect smeary upscaled shit with lumen painting everything grainy and blurry, input lag badly disguised with motion blur, etc.). Also, they lost a sizeable chunk of players to their TPM+secure boot requirements, even people who don’t know computers realized it means ad-serving fucking corpos can trust your secure computer, not you yourself.

It’s excellent, you can filter network access per app, or per IP, or isolate an app and allow it to access only certain addresses / ranges and the interface is really intuitive and user-friendly.

Up until today I was happy with turning off updates (as a precaution) and restricting Nova’s internet access (all phone network access is proxied through Rethink+), but this made me switch to Lawnchair and leave a 1-star review for both the free version and the paid upgrade token.

I would still like to see an explanation of why it is bad. Regardless of who will provide that explanation :)

Because they have Occulus’ locked up in their basement and gimmick du jour is worse, now instead of just having a headset where you have to use their account and see ads for their shitty corpo vr chat every time you login you’ll have a mandatory llm paperclip learning your habits and shilling 24/7

Stupidest brand mishandling ever, this is incredibly shortsighted
