The Twits got their way and now mastodon will be a bonfire.

A sane laptop manufacturer, that’s who

Does DKMS not work or do the proprietary blobs need to be compiled by the authors for each kernel version?

I dont trust a word Google says regarding privacy.

Good job on the AI prompting. If you aren’t an engineer and it works, that’s nice. But, have you heard of GrayJay?

This has been a feature since at least 2012 on every Android I’ve tested and it never required google. Pixels can’t be that far behind. Since it’s advertising Google, I bet the recording feature is sending it straight to the cloud before or after writing the file locally (or writing it straight to google drive).

They do? Why?

Can’t say I had the same experience, but staying on an outdated version is going to make you run into problems as the one you just experienced.

If they are going chronologically, the 4channers and other right wingers only got their claws into the project in the last week. So hopefully they didn’t cause too much havoc.

21.3? Why not upgrade to the latest?

No way… Are you serious?

That video showed him saying that it’s good for autocomplete. But speaking from experience testing it on Rust, Python, JS, HTML and CSS, it performed the worst on Rust. It wrote tests well, but sucked at features or refactoring. Whether the problem is between the chair and the screen, I don’t know.

Whether AI will be able to write secure code, I dunno, I haven’t tried. It could be put into the rules to consider security and add tests relating to security or add an adversarial agent that tries to find flaws in the code which can be exploited. That could probably do more than a developer who has no time assigned to care about testing, much less security.

What it does to the IT sector in the long run - who knows…

Agreed. Things are moving so quickly, it’s impossible to predict. There are lots of people on LinkedIn screaming about obsoletion of humans or other bold claims, but to me they are like drunk fortune tellers: tell enough fortunes and one is bound to be right.

OP seems to be talking about high level institutions collaborating with the opensource community to make linux phones a reality. Those aren’t “normal people” but politicians and their ilk. They should be thinking different than the average consoomer i.e not “oh it’s shiny and popular, fuck the price”.

The SUN community license is the kicker. Amazing job.

You won’t get laid more, that’s for sure!

I tried using AI in my rust project and gave up on letting it write code. It does quite alright in python, but rust is still too niche for it. Imagine trying to write zig or Haskell, it would make a terrible mess of it.

Security is an afterthought in 99.99% of code. AI barely has anything to learn from.

Hold on, how come they don’t have a paid team working on this?

Drama?

I can’t wait to see their content on the fediverse. They made a video about getting away from big tech but don’t mirror their stuff here. I think it’s a damn shame.

They could even host their own instances.

Interesting, but I’m curious about how it comlaresbto other technologies in cost, maintenance, and efficiency. There are molten salt batteries being tested as well as hydrogen fuel cells, even heated concrete and flywheels.

These seem simple but that can hide complex problems.
