As for btrfs, I don’t use it because I’m an adult.
This is a strange statement, because it’s now a mature fs that works. It’s even the default fs of the OS you’re trying to use. But for the sake of experimentation, I can appreciate wanting to try something off the beaten path. And I generally agree about Oracle and, specifically, Larry Ellison.
The announcement did not include Copilot? No mention of 300 useless AI features being shoved down our throats??!
It’s wild how by virtue of the fact that Valve isn’t a publicly traded company beholden to shareholders, the same Valve which has a history of putting out half-baked goods and which has an always-on DRM client called Steam, seems poised to surpass most of its competitors both in the user privacy and hardware hardware spaces with just straightforward products. They have a product to sell, and that’s it. They don’t need to micro-optimize for bullshit like seemingly every other large tech company does.
I hate to reply because I don’t have the answer to your question, just a remark which you may not care for: why bcachefs, especially on fedora server which has a rapidly advancing kernel? Bcachefs is out of the kernel tree. It is just going to be a constant maintenance burden on you to upkeep it with your server.
Btrfs will support subvolumes, compression, nodatacow directories, and everything else you might want while not being a thing you have to manually keep up with.
I would not expect the fedora installer to have any support for bcachefs, because fedora doesn’t have support for it generally.
I stopped buying BP products because of how terrible they are.
What was the effectiveness of this? Was it “far more” than, say, regulation by a government?
Propping up their economy with our money, but I haven’t seen any news org yet call that foreign interference in an election.
Signal is good so far. Firefox is teetering on the edge, but it’s also good so far (poor little fox). Lemmy and Mastodon are both great, but maybe that’s EZ mode because they’re built as alternatives to proprietary social media sites.
I pay for ArsTechnica and I feel that I get a lot of value out of doing so. And keep in mind, being a paying subscriber of a service does not safeguard the service from enshittification, so that’s quite great
I recently bought a replacement PC for my dad because of windows 11 (though his old computer was also over 10 years old so it was a somewhat fair upgrade, anyhow). Someone suggested I use Ninite to quickly bootstrap a lot of the programs he’d use and I was honestly surprised. It was genuinely no-nonsense and got the job done. A rare nice thing in Windows…
It’s sort of like Malala, and how she remained committed to socialism and Islam. I think ten years ago for a while the western boosters who brought her to international attention thought she’d flip and be a useful stooge. When she turned out to not be, we heard less and less of her.
Same deal with Greta Thunberg, who is something more dangerous than someone who can be bought: she’s someone who is principled for climate justice and human rights.
I think we are seeing the beginning of the end of an open internet. Taking a few legitimate problems and exploding them up to destroy anonymity online. And VPNs are not the solution when using privacy-preserving workarounds are either outlawed or just don’t work on any major website.
That it goes hand-in-hand (especially in the USA) with a neo-fascist right wing in control opposed by the most limp-dick “left” is extra troubling. What was the inception point for this trend? Oct 7, 2023? Were too many people shown images on TikTok of Palestinian civilians being mercilessly bombed?
Sad part is I like the design, but it’s been over-exploited by big tech corps for the past 8 years so now I have to hate it because of the new symbolic meaning it has taken.
My story doesn’t end with survival – it continues with service. Until victory,” Alexander declared at a Friends of the Israel Defence Forces (FIDF) event in the United States earlier this week.
I can imagine a much funnier ending to the story
I think it’s much simpler than that. I think he just wants to make money and sees an opportunity to enrich himself. These people don’t have a sense of morality, only a “fuck you, got mine” basic American individualism
The secondary use here is when you get asked in performance evaluation time how much you’re incorporating AI into your workflow. And you’d better not say “none” so you keep generating these nonsense documents and throwing them away so it appears like you’re using AI
Their primary use case in the office that I’ve seen is asking someone a question and having them send a LLM response where they clearly didn’t read what you asked and the response they sent you does not answer the original question. It’s so cool!
Palestinians can’t report on their own genocide because that’s considered biased and non-objective, but in the New York Times it’s no problem for Isabel Kershner with her literal and familial links to Israel and the IDF to “cover” Israel’s crimes. Many such cases.
#JustEthnoStateThings I guess
I’m picking up what you’re putting down
Of course they know. They are knowingly making an addictive product that simulates an agreeable partner to your every whim and wish. OpenAi has a valuation of several hundred billion dollars, which they achieved in breakneck speeds. What’s a few bodies on the way to the top? What’s a few traumatized Kenyans being paid $1.50/hr to mark streams of NSFL content to help train their system?
Every possible hazard is unimportant to them if it interferes with making money. The only reason someone being encouraged to commit suicide by their product is a problem is it’s bad press. And in this case a lawsuit, which they will work hard to get thrown out. The computer isn’t liable, so how can they possibly be? Anyway here’s ChatGPT 5 and my god it’s so scary that Sam Altman will tweet about it with a picture of the Death Star to make his point.
The contempt these people have for all the rest of us is legendary.
Reminds me of all those stupid “cyberpunk 1994, office nights 1998” ai slop playlists on YouTube. They all have a common theme: they don’t represent or even remotely sound like the kind of music from the year they claim to take you back to. and the tracks, if one can call them that, are the same repetitive, thoughtless rhythms. If you go to YouTube to find some background music to listen to, these kinds of uploads dominate the search results today. And it’s all D-tier shit.
No matter how “cool” it is its primary purpose, first and foremost, is to generate spam. A trillion dollar industry, effectively, in the service of spamming our search results, inboxes, text messages, science journals, homework assignments, and so much more
