These days?

You mean like this century?

Specifically Google and Adobe have always been abusing their position. I’m not sure what exactly has ever changed, apart from them getting bigger and more brazen, but they have always been bad ethically.

What? What kind of raw deals do you guys get?

In Europe I could always return the Windows licence and get over 100€ back.

It’s LLMentalist time again!

Because many cities are already draining aquifers which aren’t being replenished due to the lower rains and higher demand, and once those are gone, both servers and people will be absolutely fucked?

Isn’t Google going to do it themselves?

What in the hell is that?

Tesla has promised…

Oh my god, stop the fucking presses!

The Tesla has made a promise!!1!

Never buy cheap tires - they are your only contact with the road. You can have the best car in the world, and shitty tires will make it worthless.

There are videos on the subject, making the point of buying good tires, cause they will save your life.

My mother and sister is on my homeserver.

Also my SO.

And my every friend.

And we use Jitsi for calls during gaming or whatnot.

I use the pip install without issues for 8 years.

Never join matrix.org from your server (or ideally any other) and you’ll be fine.

I have my entire inner circle on my homeserver without issues, sharing pictures and texting a lot, and in that time we are on like 25ish GB in disk space.

Part of the deal

Anime fans lose big after Crunchyroll still in business.

But even senior devs don’t know that.

I’ve seen a senior describe the chatbot as ‘expert senior colleague to discuss ideas with’.

Which is horrifying. Cause that’s the most wrong take there could be.

For fucking WHAT?

never

… and therein lies the problem

I know that’s not the intention, but saying it like that slides into apology territory.

We should be absolutely appalled at the firing, maybe to a lesser extent, but there is no better time to point out this than during a big event.

It’s kinda like saying ‘protestors should not disrupt public spaces’, like they have done everything else, what else do people need to wake up and draw the line?

I’ve seen people on the internet suggesting Darktable as a solid Lightroom replacement… I don’t know anything about photo editing, but am curious - how bad is it?

We’ve just had survey at work about genAI, a large part of the devs use Linux and LLMs, yet nobody could explain how genAI works.

I was very surprised.

You would be surprised.

An awful lot of people, including Linux users, are into genAI. And not many understand anything behind it.

That’s the neat part.

Ever since ‘journalism’ has been reduced to reposting social media posts, there is very little reputation to be had.
