its kind of crazy how much I used to use the AUR, Was just randomly running randoms peoples scripts to install packages.

Actually to expand on this, you can kind of do the opposite, for example you can launder federated social media if that federated social also contains something people actually want. Then relying on network effect/cultural inertia to keep you relevant

My work just handed me a laptop then let me flash whatever distro I wanted onto it

Welcome to the club!

Ive kind of noticed how we essentially use fancy tech to solve problems we already have solutions for.

What I find interesting about the framing of this, aswell as how docker is framed as a whole, is that its essentially just the argument for static linking (So some extent also deterministic builds). You can get alot of the benefits of “shipping your computer” without needing an OS that supports cgroups and all this other stuff. Containers existed for a long time until docker was able to essentially push it as a packaging format. Now yes containers ARE useful but I think what we were really doing was trying to get rid of distro dependency management, but we could only do it through the lens of a fancy new technology.

Maybe if we bring back Bernie math we convince Donnie we deported all the immigrants already?

AGI is when I can vibe maintain X11

Are you tired of winning yet

Upper management in my company constantly asks for instances of AI being used. People who align with this whole AI mess get much easier promotion timelines and visibility. My team has decided to realign ourselves to do more ML work partially for this reason. Its even dumber when you realize all these tech execs are themselves invested in these AI companies

Single player works flawlessly 99% of the time. Competitive multiplayer shooters can be a bit iffy.

It’s definitely annoying how we have all these wrappers of wrappers of debian, like Linux mint is wrapping packages from Ubuntu which is then wrapping packages from a certain snapshot of Debian. All of which creates a unique set of dependencies an apps running on that can cause bugs (Though sometime the distro is more like a installation wrapper for another distro which is better).

Isn’t the optimal situation here that AI doesn’t really work but we all keep believing the bubble?

Wow the tech bros are just tryna save us

https://ignitetech.ai/ it has to be like purposely bad I vibe code internal frontends and ive never had something look this bad

Where can I sign up

Whats even the point theirs plenty of engineers in the country with source code access? Maybe the Chinese ones don’t hire in India so its aimed towards them.

I want a government thats requires mandatory AGPL for most classes of software.

Oh and alot of government contracts for private silicon valley companies

I like to hope this will end up doing something good but I doubt it. Most likely projects will just involve state surveillance

Feel like they have been talking about this forever, maybe Trump will finally be the push they need.

Does anyone start greenfield projects with normal mysql anymore? I know Meta internally whole infra relies on some mySQL + object store design pattern but I assume its so heavily modified from upstream atp. My company migrated everything we could to postgres awhile ago

Its crazy you can fail so badly at cloning a competitors product yet still be so successful
