  • Broadly, I see "AI" as part of enshitification. I think it's brain rotting. It's commerial setup to get your dependent on it.

  • That is basically DDoSing open source project, which will not merge code without it being properly reviewed. Almost all open source projects are basically artisan code and the maintainers are the custodians of it.

  • To be honest, that was a mistake on the Democrats. The US is just not ready for that. It wasn't even ready for an older white woman. It's like they felt Trump was so awful, they could get who ever they wanted through. Which in a sane world, would be true. America, choose the rich old white Nazi man-child instead, twice.

  • Is this a technology issue or a human one?

    If you don't understand the code your AI has written, don't make a PR of it.

    If your AI is making PRs without you, that's even worse.

    Basically, is technology the job we need here to manage the bad behavior of humans? Do we need to reach for the existing social tool to limit human behavior, law? Like we did with CopyLeft and the Tragedy Of The Commons.

  • PlayStations and god knows what is some closed BSD. Apple are not alone in eating the BSD free lunch and giving very little back for it. Kind of the point of the license. It's why Linux took over in most places, you can't just take because of the GPL.

  • Well that is always the risk from moving from stable anything. It is called Testing after all, and I have found and reported things a few times. I just had nothing I couldn't fix and wasn't fixed later. As I said, it's about right for me. I put most people, and any servers, only on Stable.

  • I've found Testing works rather well as a compromise. It's actually very stable, while most of the time, constantly updating. It's only during freeze time it stops noticeably changing. At unfreeze, there is a load at once, but it's yet to be a real problem for me in like 15y. SID is a bit too bleeding edge for my liking. The Arch and SID guys can be on the front line, that's fine. I thank them for their service, but I don't want it quite as interesting as that.

  • Roll with Debian Testing? Or even SID?

  • Oh you just know people has put NetBSD on a phone. Doubt it's been done with a GUI though.

  • Nazi always were a bit camp.... All a bit homoerotic, but always closeted.

    Tragic really, before crimes against humanity drown out any sympathy.

  • iOS is just a more UNIX, better designed, Windows. Closed OS of American big tech. If you are choosing between those two masters, go for it. But if you don't want to be a serf to US big tech, or want to get the most out of old hardware, come find FOSS. It's a far healthlier relationship.

  • What maybe we want it a .org that lots of seller sell through. Or some federated shop protocol we can search. It definitely can be better than single massive global monopoly or chaos.

  • I think the GTK guys learnt their season about smashing an API. Apparently from GTK3 to GTK4 is much better.

    Though of course, next might be a fresh batch of developers thinking backwards compatibility is just holding them back. GTK is far from the only place this happens.

  • See, coming from RISC OS, the GIMP interface made complete sense to me straight away. It was never broken, just from a different school. These days, it can be setup very PS like, but that doesn't mean it was wrong before. Just different.

  • Here comes Telsa V2G.

  • Phones and tablet, and increasingly everything, has randomized MAC addresses. So it will need to an allow list, not deny list. I mean, if you have roaming WiFi, you want to disable MAC randomization off anyway.... But how many normal people know how? You'd have to make that easier.

  • Not all IP is self surviving. Even CopyRight isn't always a bad thing, if you think of small artists, for example. My fear is about CopyLeft mainly as I feel it's been incredible successful in pushing forwards openness. The megacorps hating it, tells you it is doing its job. Only of the things they love about LLM and code is it can license wash away CopyLeft.

  • FPTP is the simplest and least representative. Worth reading about different systems out there.
