I looked for but didn’t find any about LG TVs, the actual topic here and what the wild claim was made about.

The TV should just act as a TV with input ports. Why update the firmware?

jack it into a PC for media

Even a proprietary streaming stick like FireTV would be an improvement because it only collects telemetry from the stick itself and not devices connected to other HDMI ports.

Projectors have become amazing.

Yeah and consumer oriented ones have their own apps and Google TV integration and the like, so no idea how a different image displaying tech would be a solution to privacy invasive TVs.

They can connect to open (and hidden) networks without your consent.

That’s a wild claim and either I accidentally skipped a paragraph in the article or you should cite a source. Quick googling doesn’t show up anything of that sort for me.

Why would you connect a dishwasher to the internet? Setting a timer can tell you just as well if the dishes are clean.

It’s honestly better to just have a bare wall and a projector.

Consumer projectors come with the same “smart” shit as TVs these days. Just don’t connect either to WiFi. Problem solved.

This would’ve worked just a few years back but due to shitty “age verification” laws, even TV manufacturers willl force users to create an account the very least for the TV to even start up.

Surely only for “smart” features but without enabling any of that shit, you shouldn’t get any age verification prompt.

Don’t connect TVs to your network.

Googling. That’s how you invalidate a trademark.

They write down that the current feature set will not be paywalled but mandatory account registration and paywalling future features are absolutely on the table.

Only partially. Apparently Direct2D (which to be clear is different from Direct3D) is very weird and progress is slow.

slopifying his codebase.

He didn’t. That’s the point. The slop code is a self contained dependency only used for the Linux build and not part of the actual paint.net codebase. His core user group (on Windows) will never get in touch with it.

I think everybody, including him, would prefer if there was a working implementation of Direct2D for Wine.

I think the point is that the developers doesn’t want to actually review the code which they can do with a self contained dependency which they then ship on a “take it or leave it” basis.

I kind of get it and I think it’s a more responsible approach than to vibe code the core engine of their application.

Aren’t Florida Cubans pro Trump because they think he’ll overthrow the Cuban government?

His government works toward Greater Israel which is why they won’t ever leave the occupied Lebanese and Syrian territories either.

That hardware requirement is something they could work on for upcoming phones.

That’s gonna require a substantial amount more proof than a philosophical position taken by Linus Torvalds

“Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug” <-- literally spelled out in the headline.

1600 commits contain the word “claude” alone: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Atorvalds%2Flinux+claude&type=commits

It’s so easy to find out, yet you insist that you are right. Hilarious.

How do you figure that?

It’s literally spelled out in the submitted article as well as https://www.xda-developers.com/linus-torvalds-will-loudly-ignore-anyone-criticising-ai-code-in-linux-fork-it-or-just-walk-away/ which is prominently linked from that article. Read first, comment later, don’t downvote others just because you are wrong.

Maybe get an M2-series Mac and go all-in on Asahi Linux?

That’s still Linux with Torvalds-approved LLM generated code. If you care about avoiding LLM code, all Linux is now poisoned.
