For a decade boomers were panicking over the "ipad kids" generation.

It is poetic that instead of gen alpha being brain broken, its all the boomers that lost their minds to LLM psychosis.

@atax1a Do not attribute to malice, what can be explained by computer nerds being allergic to any kind of humanities, and especially sociology, even if they are involved in incredibly complex, world wide, communities.

People would rather believe conspiracies about secret cabals running the world or attempting takeovers of institution, rather than examining things with a dialectical materialism framework.

Do you think we will be looking back and look at Anthropic and OpenAI the same way people look at the Sackler Family for causing the opioid epidemic?

It’s not like they will ever be held accountable or anything, but it certainly looks a lot like an epidemic.

@swick @karolherbst I anyone keeping score? I think I am falling behind lately

@atoponce Being able to store the birthday of the user is useful metadata for the system to have in general. This is something that is needed to have regardless of any regulations. There are already other PII stored. Additionally there isn't any "Verification" mechanism in the PR you linked or proposed at all.

Jesus Christ read before spreading further misinformation. You also clearly haven't read the California legislation you are so worried about.

We dodged a bullet with bcachefs. Kent has lost it.

@GerardThornley @tante To this day they are rebooting f35 subsystems mid-flight when they bug out.

Not all software is trash-tier quality but we are nowhere close to the reliability and determinism you'd expect for any engineering field. And its not getting any better with all the deregulation and outsourcing to contractors.

@existentialcomics During the bombing of Yugoslavia, a bunch of nato troops were diverted the opposite way by a bunch of flipped signs.

@killyourfm @thibaultamartin It’s only nand/flash memory that’s affected. You should be able to get reasonably priced hdd drives for your NAS

@killyourfm @zoeyTheWitch I mostly merge things nowdays, most of the recent development happens by others 😅

@killyourfm Oh damn, that's a nice app!

@frameworkcomputer Framework's continued commitment to "deliberately create a big tent" is paying off.

More than a month since the last public statement comment from Framework on the subject and they still haven't distanced themselves from this guy.

The forum thread has over 2000 replies at this point..

Socialize the costs, privatize the gains.

It's apparently our fault that LTS distros ship extremely outdated versions of GNOME that may have bugs when interacting with actually up to date applications.

Nobody ever **demands** the distributions fix their shit, it's always GNOME that **has** to support LTS distributions. For free none the less.

Fuck this. Fuck this attitude.

The Linux circlejerk has a "Great Man/Company theory" problem.

Every time there is an issue, they all go around clinging to the one company that "finally" will put some resources into fixing them. Endlessly hyping them up and elevating them to a deity status.

It happened with Canonical in the past and how it was "single handedly fixing GNOME".

More recently its Valve and how "they have graced us with gaming and fixing Wayland"

Like sure I appreciate everyone, but its a team effort you know.

If you are at any point said that calling someone Nazi is dehumanizing, you seriously need to have your humanity checked and read a book.

The dehumanizing act there is **being and acting like a Nazi**

The marginalized group known as fascists and neo-nazis. Conservatives are such snowflakes.

The moral of the Framework debacle is not to look elsewhere for hardware, but to not make your personality, your consumption habits.
