And zero projects today don’t use AI in any forms

Everything I do is a counterexample. Get fucked.

Did your LLM just have a spasm?

And maybe those folks who rush to downvote will realize they can just filter out the posts instead.

Sure, but IMO that’s not the point. About one half of the point of commenting on slopware posts is to make known that the use of AI is disapproved

So lemme see if I understood right:

These companies did not want to participate in the driver solutions for users, so when Wacom did, it left them in the dust. They now whine that Wacom uses up all the “branding space” despite the term “wacom” having been first genericided into (like “kleenex” or “coke”) then essentially blown away from the graphic tablets driver space, and even if they wanted to contribute they whine that the literally usable information they give to the user so the device is usable (like, coordinates and the like) is a corporate secret???

NGL, from here it sounds like they just don’t want to do any of the work and want some FOSS peasant in Laos to do it all free for them instead.

we can vibecode one together!

Having the tags? Sure.

Making them mandatory? Only if we have 1.- an actual process to determine whether a tag is incorrectly applied (up to a respectable level of confidence) and 2.- an adequate, *enforceable+ punishment for infringers.

I could absolutely believe Hated becoming an official thing.

Actually the Apple falls not far from the tree. Fedora’s racism is why I left RH-based distros.

Fun thing.

Back in the day, I left Fedora and RH-based distros in general precisely because of the racist attitude of their communities and official sites towards Latin American users, including attempts at profiling on their community support channels. I guess not much has changed since then.

Thanks! I’m gonna try and find a USB-to-DP cat’o’tails I can buy for cheap to see what happens.

If your laptop has USB-C it most likely already has DP out.

For some reason I always miss this. I checked in software and at least arandr says I have 4 DP Outs. Presumably 2 per USB-C port? I don’t know how this actually works.

How do I add a DP port to both my TV and my laptop?

If you don’t trust it, why use it? It’s still slop in the end, just somewhat less slopified.

Consider: either you are smarter than the tool you use, in which case it doesn’t really offer anything much, or you are dumber than the tool you use, in which case you wouldn’t be qualified to judge its results anyway.

It’s incredible when Artix is being more based than Debian.

However, what’s gonna happen should the attempts to age-gate the XDG portal screw over alt-init distros like Artix too?

Just join the Ageless Linux thing? My understanding is at most they will be providing a bogus interface, basically.

It’s systemd. A child pest of a Microsoftist pest. It was literally invented to contribute towards the MicrosoftizationMicroslopization of Linux.

Congrats guys! We did it!

Thanks for joining in!

Seriously, enough was going on with the project that the AI was just the final nail (or the deepest nail) in the coffin. What’s important is that we denounce AI where we see it, as this (and not “usage”) is the only non-violent way we have to try and lead a change in how AI is developed and deployed in the first place. The problem is not simply “someone can use AI in their spare time”, it’s what even has to happen as a prerequisite for that to even be a thing in the first place (code theft, mass license violation, environmental destruction, RAM shortages, erosion of civil and digital rights, exemptions for big corpo, you name it).

We should all feel ashamed that an open source project was shuttered because of how our community acted.

Open Source means the source is open, not that you can do whatever ass-unethical thing you want. That weird impression of the world is something that techbros, cryptobros and liberals are trying to push. Don’t be fooled. We defended ourselves, and we managed a tie.

This and ich_iel are why I like the Fediverse!

in as much as reaching into BS can be considered “Fediverse”

That’s precisely why they have to be resisted and/or we have to look for alternatives that Do One Thing Well. Among many other issues, the networking effect issue with EverythingApps is quite double-faceted in that, because they do everything, their “weight” not only acts as gilded cages to prevent people from leaving, but also to prevent developers, working on their spare time, from developing something that can be reasonably understood as an “alternative” (because the alternative has to also Do Everything).

It’s basically playing a loser game to lose, see eg.: Mozilla always at best playing catch-up to Google, or why we can’t seem to move from BloatedWebWithReact to something like Gopher (or even make a proper Gopher 2.0).

All that said, I feel like XMPP and Matterbridge are approaching this from the right perspective. Just implement a global communication protocol and leave to platform makers (or platform users) the task of bridging from and to whatever directions they want.

Hmmmm voice chat eh?

Well then it’s time to recommend Mumble!

I hear Snikket makes it really easy to host XMPP (aka Jabber).
