They’ll still whine to the government to give them money to rebuild

Using Monero for payment is fine once you have it set up. You’re just using it for facilitating anonymous payments, not treating it like stock.

That being said, setting up Monero securely is a pain. I’d like to use it at some point in the future but right now I have more pressing projects to work on

Should point out that the theory gets causation completely backwards.

How does it handle mounting/unmounting USB drives? I’ve had to deal with that a bit in the past few days between multiple android devices and it’s been fairly mixed, with the default aosp ironically being the best at it

What makes Material Files better than Fossify’s file manager or even the stock one? It’s hard to tell from the F-Droid screenshots.

Also, seconding the AntennaPod and Syncthing-Fork recommendations. And to add more recs: Voice Audiobook Player, Breezy Weather, and Clock (by BlackHawky) are really good. Breezy Weather and Clock are by far the best apps of their types that I’ve used

BRIEF monopoly

Nvidia is telling them that if the companies in question don’t buy up stock now, Nvidia will refuse to sell to them in the future.

He also points out that Nvidia saying so is really fucking illegal

A single repo hub doesn’t want to host LLM-generated code. It’s not like there aren’t others that are friendly to LLM-code, including the largest one: GitHub. And GitHub will never ban LLM code, they’re too integrated with it. And Codeberg is just a specific Forgejo instance. Nothing is stopping you from hosting your own if you really want to.

You’re taking a single instance of a provider adding an extra stipulation to their TOS and equating it to governments banning the use of LLM’s. It’s not, and the government isn’t going to be taking away your LLM. Quit acting like it is.

This is the exact opposite. Trying to ban AI from everything despite its use cases.

This is a pure, bold-faced lie. But this is nothing new from AI evangelists.

This is about banning AI contributions from specific open-sourced projects. This is due to a number of legitimate concerns that are still not solved, such as maintainability and how AI development legally interacts with licenses such as the GPL

You want to go and start an open sourced project that uses AI from the start? Go ahead, nothing is stopping you. You want to install AI programs on your OS? Go ahead, nobody is stopping you

But don’t cram that bullshit into the OS itself. Doing so then forces AI onto everybody whether they want it or not, and that’s bullshit

We’ll stop when the AI evangelists finally learn the idea of consent and quit trying to force AI down everyone’s throats nonstop.

You want to shrivel up your brain with AI? Go ahead, you’re an adult (presumably) and I’m not your mom. Go access it through a browser or separate app. Quit trying to force it into my face by integrating it into the OS or DE. And while you’re at it, quit continually going “BuT dId YoU cOnSiDeR tHiS???1?” like a door-to-door salesman that jams their foot in the door so you can’t close it

20-30% cheaper is really fighting against this argument

Still not remotely enough to be profitable

Because there’s a horrifying lack of understanding of the idea of consent. I’m tired of the AI evangelists constantly pushing it onto people, ignoring their protests.

No, fuck that, and fuck you for defending it.

People are pushing back against trying to force AI into KDE because they don’t want to have AI continually pushed into their face. Nothing’s stopping the people that want AI from getting it through their browser or adding it from various other packages through flathub. It doesn’t need to be added to the DE. That just leads to enshittification like Windows underwent. We don’t need that in Linux.

The issue that AI bros continually don’t understand is the idea of consent. If someone doesn’t want AI pushed to the, then the appropriate action is to stop pushing it onto them.

Then in comes the asshole I responded to with the “bUt HaVe YoU cOnSiDeReD tHiS uSe CaSe???1?” bullshit. Again, I stated that people shouldn’t be forced to have AI pushed on them and the guy continued to push it on people. They’re acting like a door-to-door salesman that jams their foot into the door before you can close it.

Again, to paraphrase Louis Rossmann: that lack of understanding of consent is a rapist mentality.

Tone policing is a load of bullshit. The AI bros don’t understand regular pushback, if they even care at all. They won’t understand unless you shock them awake.

Actually they do, and things start going not well because iof it

because his level of the programming language wasn’t that high but the code constructs he was using were advanced and sometimes unnecessary. They weren’t bad and I’d let them through the review, because he got the job done

That sounds more like you just let inefficient code that the programmer can’t maintain through the review process. Shit like that is why software is getting continually worse

It ends by saying: "The question is not whether AI. It is how.

To quote Louis Rossman: this is rapist mentality.

These chuds want to force AI down everyone’s throats.

“You choose how much AI – and which.”

How about fucking none asshole?

Jfc it’s a fucking joke you nutcase. Have you forgetten that this is in the funny community?

You missed my point completely. Which French were the ones who invaded in 1066? Who were they descended from?

Don’t let it connect to the internet. I’m not familiar with the process of jailbreaking PS5’s, but I wouldn’t be surprised if an automatically installing security patch borks it
