Welcome to everyone’s world who has a Google Home device… yanked functionality, stupider responses than when it first shipped. Sigh.

I know, that’s not right. Just feels a bit hopeless sometimes knowing the big corps still churn out bad stuff while we are told to be so eco-conscious…

Now I’m grumpy since I haven’t had my morning coffee yet, but …
At this point in my life, I feel approximately zero guilt for my consumption in day-to-day life. The fact that plastic recycling has turned out to be ‘guilt-washing’ intentionally marketed as effective when it is not, and that the fossil fuel industry is in fact planning to RAMP UP plastic production (to compensate for future lowered fossil fuel for vehicles), and the fact that most pollution (like 70%) is done by industry, not individuals…
Force the externalities back onto the CORPORATIONS. Make them pay for the lifecycle of their products, instead of telling us that we somehow are the problem. Make them pay for clear-cutting by making it so expensive that it’s not viable compared to responsible managed forestry, with proper diverse tree-planting instead of monocultures. Fine them into oblivion if they clear an entire hillside, causing erosion and flooding.
Now I’m still going to recycle my plastic like a chump, because I’d feel bad if I didn’t, but it won’t make a difference. Nor will stopping use of wood pellets, since the vast majority of the damage is done by irresponsible logging by big corporations and our governments who won’t lift a finger to stop them.
Good. This shows plainly how LLMs don’t think, don’t truly understand anything, and have no critical ability to do introspection or fact-checking. It seems the only way to teach the world of these things is to make it impossible to ignore via absurd demonstrations like this. If the “AI” well must be poisoned in order to wake people up, I’m all for it.
Devuan can work, I have it on my Dell laptop with dual intel/nvidia gpu. Steam w/proton works.


TheSpiffingBrit would’ve figured out a way to do it without console commands though, I bet :)


The oligarchs will bulldoze and crush the infrastructure, rather than let the people grow food with it. Come on, where’s the profit in that? Not /s. They seriously think this way. We’d have to take the equipment by force in order do to this.


Seriously? This is pure evil. 99% chance their models have ingested the code they plan to replace. remember LLMs don’t create, they regurgitate an amalgam of what they have ingested.
This slop should not be allowed to be copyrighted or sold.
Edit: This is satire AFAIK but there’s probably some cadre of techbros that are going to actually do this. and get rich off of it. SMH.


If it was indeed a full rewrite via AI, committing it to the same repo, with the same project name, only an incremented major version and a license change – seems to be an effort at co-opting the previous LGPL project’s name and visibility by the current maintainer and serves to erase (however large or small) the work of previous contributors.
Even if it truly is a ‘clean-room’ re-implementation, it should be called ‘chardet-ng’ or something to distinguish it from the original.

How about FUCK NO.


Bloody hell, the faster plain Linux phones become viable, the better.
If Google does what they plan to do this year, my next phone’s not going to be Android or iOS, somehow.


Yup. This is by no means the first allegation they get paid bounties. It was being said everywhere just prior to the shootings of Mrs. Good and Mr. Pretti last month.
Perverse incentives breed perverse behaviour.
For those who have experience, yes – but to the inexperienced eye, there are some false morels that can definitely trick people.

We have some Gyromitra that pop up every year in one area of our backyard. They produce a molecule, gyromitrin, which is metabolized in the body into monomethylhydrazine, which is used in rocket fuel(!)… So be careful.
Apparently Gyromitra are consumed in Europe by some – but only after careful preparation… I am not brave enough to try that :/
Good advice, but respectfully there are some trustworthy books. So long as the reader actually follows all of the verification steps in those books.
And definitely not those fly-by-night, probably AI-generated ‘slop’ books online!.
My wife & I only moved out to the west coast in our 40s, and in the decade since, we (slowly! carefully!) learned how to recognize the safe species. Just don’t take any stupid risks – be absolutely sure of an ID before eating. Show what you’ve collected first, if it’s a new one, to someone local who knows and learn from their experience.
One good book is All That The Rain Promises …
Sort of a click-baity headline… if it had just said “iTerm2’s SSH integration on MacOS is not safe”, a user such as myself who doesn’t use that particular terminal or OS wouldn’t need to visit the article.
(Not blaming OP – they just used the linked article’s headline.)
