This guy blocks everyone who doesn’t like his AI mess. Interesting

Make sure to use AI for that!

It’s not virtue signalling, I know very well what I’m doing is hypocritical at best, but it’s also unavoidable for me. For one, I’m using it like this at work where they’d love nothing better than for me to start vibe coding. This is the compromise I’ve been able to make so far.

Nah, wouldn’t do that. CSS needs to be well designed to function properly, you need actual developers for that or you’ll screw over your users.

But yeah, to give quick pointers and ideas to flesh out, it’s reasonably useful

If that is enough to warrant it’s extreme energy use, the spread of AI slop everywhere, the pollution, the uncontrolled datacenter expansions, the explosion in hardware costs it created, the countless death and suffering it caused through AI psychosis, the AI childporn bots (hello grok, are you still the world’s biggest child porn producer or did Elmo finally reign you in to again be mecha Hitler?), the…

Long story short, AI will likely end this world in a long list of fucked up ways, I don’t think it’s worth it

Until then, I’ll use it as a suggestion tool, not much more

I’m a developer

I sometimes sometimes use AI for an answer to a complicated problem because normally I’d open up 20 pages , have to go through them all to find the right answer

AI gets me the answer right away, though it likely is completely wrong or at least partially wrong. Either way, it gives me a general direction and with that I only have to search through one or two pages to confirm, so the same process is just a little faster.

I laso have used AI on a couple of occasions to ask it to write code for a complicated problem. Again, you don’t copy the code, god no, it’s always the worst, and it is in 80% of the cases still at least riddled with bugs, or just complete bullshit. However, it might give me an alternative idea or a direction to take to implement or fix this complicated feature problem.

That’s the extent to which I’ve used AI and for the foreseeable future that won’t change because AI still can’t code. It’s still wildly flailing around and it might produce something that implements a certain functionality, but it’s a guarantee that that functionality will have more bugs and security holes than features

built with AI

Bye!

No no no, keep reading, it’s awesome!

It’s not, it’s slop

Byes

Good luck with that, California.

I can already tell you: ain’t going to happen.

It’d be the end of Linux, anywhere, the end of your own computer.

Yes

I’m currently AMD only (you have to be a real idiot to still use Intel at this point) but if Facebook gets it’s grubby hands on AMD hardware, I’m out.

Yay for RISK-V, I guess

looks IS really fucked up

FTFY

Reverse proxy still goes over a port

Will this make it in Kubuntu 26.04? That’d be awesome!

I gotta say… As bad as Nvidia’s drivers are (obligatory fuck you Nvidia with a Linux middle finger), I’ve never really had a lot of trouble installing the drivers. It’s always been fairly straightforward with some shitty installer program, but it almost always worked.

Wine Is Not an Emulator

So the editor asked AI to come up with an image for the title “Gamers desert Intel in droves” and so we get a half-baked pic of a CPU in the desert.

Am I close?

To have it as ab option, great. I believe KDE already has this? Computers should work the way the user wants it, so a middle click should do what the user wants it to do.

Removing it completely would be insanity

Interesting!

Can this work server side as well? I’d love a good PDF toolkit to integrate as a backend into my open source system

Most important missing detail though: reliable conversion from HTML to PDF

I’m currently using wkhtnltopdf and it gets unreliable results at best, especially with layout (CSS)

Any suggestions on what tool could do that best?

I’ve used Linux Desktop both personal and at work since 2003, I guess I got lucky with where I worked, they always allowed it as long as I could do everything that needed to be done.

Then again, I was either the owner or CTO level for the last decade or so, and just made those decisions myself.

Now I’m trying to push my current company to switch completely to Linux, and it ain’t easy. Not because of Linux, that part is fine and whatever easy, but because Microsoft worked hard to ensure you can’t escape their fucking clutches.

Moving away from teams, for example, will be a tough one, because most of our customers and government have complety relented to Microsoft, and you MUST use teams to talk to them.

So then what? Use different messengers internally and externally? I’m still not sure how to get rid of that part, but for the rest, we are going off the microshit soon

I’ve had similar issues using CSF firewall. They just pushed out updates that apparently support docker a little better but I still have to fight with that to get that working, I don’t know if that will fix it, but give it a try

Imagine a federated system that allows everyone to host this and everyone can vote on a designated target

Ticketmaster is being a dick? Vote! Ticketmaster is now ddossed until it makes hard changes to its policies and brings prices down to like 10% of what it is today

Boeing continues to focus on money only, not safety? Ddos until it changes

The Cheeto is murdering innocent people again? The entire world will ddos everything US until he’s removed.

I know this won’t ever happen, but I see this as potentially useful in making the world a better place for everyone

Using immich for photos, going to set-up nextcloud and onlyoffice for the rest
