@dalias mate, it's GNU which also gave us gcc and the core userland we use on Linux. They may not be the best but they're clearly capable (and also one doesn't spend 20 years on something and not learn a thing or two, no matter how technically incapable they are at the start) -

@dalias @mcc you'll still end up with a similar amount of work with a microkernel vs a monolithic kernel because you still have to do all the other stuff, you just do it outside the kernel.
Don't get me wrong, microkernels have some clear advantages, but a reduction in work to get something working isn't one of them, just look at how long it's taking Hurd to get anywhere -

@Rasp and who's to blame for Wayland's bullshit?
Also, gnome wayland is significantly worse than kwin or wlroots so if your only experience with Wayland is gnome, then you had it much worse than it could've been -

@Rasp that popup looks like some gnome shit
So once again, thank gnome for your Linux issues, as usual -

They should make a C compiler that sometimes asks you if you really know what you're doing if it sees a void* -

@joergi @cazabon > I think it's a beautiful service
How? Following tags is something you can already do as a core part of AP. It's the single most useless "service", and I say this on a network full of markov bots -

@SuperDicq The worst part is I can't tell if this is real or not because I could see LinkedIn being this fucking weird -

@Willow I mean, I have to doubt the "features worked" part unless we're talking about software with very simple and strict requirements, but given the industry's standards these days, it was probably considered passable by anyone used to Microsoft's quality. -

You cannot make this shit up.
Anubis exists to stop AI scrapebots from fucking your server and so it uses Github Copilot for code reviews.

Really feels like AIs are propaganda 2.0, and I'm not talking just about deepfakes.
First, to clear things up: when I say propaganda, I don't mean Stalinist propaganda (ie. gaslighting). I'm talking about Putinist propaganda: saying anything and everything from every direction. Propaganda designed not to make you believe, but to overwhelm you. To make it so hard to sift trough the junk and get the real thing that most people would rather just give up.
LLM code is basically that: as it floods every facet of the tech world, from commercial software to open source projects, you're left either accepting it, or constantly fleeing to a shrinking number of projects and communities that decided to not go down without a fight. And it's exhausting. Every day it feels like more and more projects are giving in, you become paranoid of every piece of software you've grown to rely on over the years, and sometimes you want to just give up. I know that's what it feels like for me sometimes.
But that's what they want. They want everyone to just give up and accept their role in the machine. It's not easy, but we have to resist it -

@thomasfuchs I mean, yes, but it's fun in the same way that it's fun playing NES games with intentional memory corruption, or it's fun making stupid cars in Automation then trying to drive them in BeamNG Drive (emphasis on "trying")
