So, after a full year, was it worth the wait? Spoiler, it was!

@thelinuxEXP As someone from india who uses protonmail as their main email, this is so stupid. Not that they can stop me from using it. Or anyone that actually knows what protonmail is. Because if you know what that is in India, then government censorship is just an annoyance.

I drew this 12 months ago, as LLM code assistants were just becoming available.

Has it held up?

@forrestbrazeal I personally love llms. You just need to see them as highly intelligent but autistic interns. They cut down dev time by a lot. I donโ€™t think ai can go back to a time before copilot. Although it should only be used by people who already understand the code llms generate. Because that over zealous intern is sometimes incorrect and you need to be experienced enough to detect that.

rolle, to opensource

Iโ€™m so tired of the capitalist argument that an open source project cannot be successful because itโ€™s based on nonprofit or donations instead of vc funding and corporates.

Some people seem to actually believe in this narrative that Linux, Mozilla products and the Internet itself are all alive solely because of for-profit industries while forgetting that the actual people, inventors, universities and organisations do exist in this world. Also the contributing factors by companies do not nullify the brilliance of the original project. FFS, it is not all because of the money.

@rolle blender CEO makes more than a million per year and they are open source running on donations. Plus most open source source projects start with a goal that is explicitly not to make money.
That said, as a software dev I am very concerned with the stress a lot of OSS maintainers have to suffer. Everyone wants to use the library but no one wanna contribute. The infamous log4j vulnerability that crippled Java ecosystem for a while was first detected by a dev from a huge corporation with a message to the maintainers โ€œ fix this pleaseโ€, instead of opening a PR themselves!

ยซ Tucker Carlson joins Rumble ยป they tell me in an email that openly displays a lack of neutrality on virtually every topic they want me to watch on their platform, criticizing taxes, Joe Biden, ยซ slacktivists ยป and liberals in 2 ยซ recommended ยป videos.

So, hmmm, yeah, this makes me want to join your crap even less, Rumble. Do I want my little basic Linux videos side by side with conspiracy theorists that lied for years on TV? No, thank you.

@thelinuxEXP it is a classic conundrum, you cannot make a right-wing platform and make it grow because right-wing conservatism is inherently exclusionary.

udittlamba,
@udittlamba@c.im avatar

@thelinuxEXP Also, funnily, not all right-wing conservatism like each other, so there are sub-divisions that hate each other too. for eg the Wahabbi Muslims vs right-wing Americans vs right wing indians. None like each other at all. if you pander to one, you not only alienate non-right-wingers but also other right-winger cliques.

Did South American countries recall ambassadors and cut their ties with Russia when the Russian army destroyed the city of Mariupol, killing and displacing tens of thousands of people? I can't remember that happening https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/31/bolivia-israel-hamas-gaza-war-crime

Tonight my 10yo asked if a woman might run for president next year.

โ€œWhy?โ€ I asked.

โ€œBecause if a woman runs, you should vote for her,โ€ he explained. โ€œIn almost 250 years, there havenโ€™t been any women presidents. We need someone to be the first.โ€

Couldnโ€™t agree more kiddo.

@Sheril you should vote for the best candidate not for someone based on some trait they have no control over. Blind faith is blind faith no matter what your intentions are.

This week, we have not providing a way to install local deb packages graphically in 23.10, something I missed in my review. We also have the new Executive Director for GNOME raising some eyebrows (spoiler: I donโ€™t get the negative reactions), and we have working on a new installer to replace the venerable YAST, plus a lot more:
