Sometimes i use ai to analyze spreadsheet data for me and spit out an excel sheet with the answers. It says “thinking” for like 10 mins, and i can just imagine some GPUs on fire in a datacenter somewhere…

Sure, but why do meta/goog/MS need to be there? Are they opening up research to each other?

OSS is a corporate lie. What you are describing is free software. Freedom to modify and distribute

I dont really understand their business model.

Hosting these huge model files. Why cant facebook/goog/m$ just do that on their own?

How did these massive ai giants end up relying on huggingface for everything?

There’s a bit in the simspons where activists burn down a lab and a robot runs out of the building screaming “why??? Why was i programmed to feel pain?”

Webrings ftw!!!

Unfortunately, whats scarier to people is if the installer is text or TUI, :0

On youtube, you’re not the customer. You’re the product being sold

Does the boot screen look ok? Does the login screen look ok?

I had a problem with my new 9070 on debian KDE, and the issue was with color accuracy setting

I’ve been full time linux since 2017, i think (it was a long time ago)

Honestly, linux gaming with steam/proton has been really good for a LONG time. Like even “AAA” games like RDR2 have been working well whenever i buy them (not on release day, but maybe a year after)

In 2025, there’s really no reason not to go linux unless you play some very specific game that absolutely doesnt work on linux

What if fdroid goes rogue or gets hacked?

I’m an fdroid user, but i often wonder if it is safer than google play store

Likelihood of google getting hacked/rogue is much lower than a small, community run volunteer project

“If dev goes rougue”

Isnt that a risk for all app stores?

We arent that far behind. I’ve had to pay for tons of private services out of pocket here in quebec.

Basic shit like dermatology and MRIs

(Is debian considered a “debian-based” distro?)

Debian users, ignore the above. Debian explicity warns against using ubuntu ppa

The correct way to get libreoffice in debian is just to apt install libreofffice… It’s already in the main debian repos

I have 2 servers, 6 containers, a raspi, a desktop, and a laptop all running linux just fine. My two phones send notification updates to my laptop via kde connect

I have lots of devices on linux and they all play nice together

No, the CIA was selling drugs in latin america…

Iraq was invaded twice

My guess is iran

Imagine being so out of touch that you cant see the torrent of ewaste this is going to create for a planet that’s already on fire.

I thought i had a pretty good radar for AI slop these days, but this one slipped past my heuristics.

What tipped you off?

On closer inspection, the meteors are a clue. AI doesnt seem to know that the foreground characters should occlude them.

Any other obvious ones?
