2·3 months agoHm, also not a big fan of that loon, bit at least consistency is better.
it just feels too overloaded and busy for my liking :/
7·3 months agocorrect. in terms of supporting more hardware that is out there, this is very welcomed
the blog post phoronix linked which the verge references https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/the-future-of-ai-in-ubuntu/81130

This is so cool
Well said
Yep you’re right, tampering before transmission is still possible. I think I agree with having a strong standard lib helping that considerably. While the language of the blog is not objective, the “content” was better than expected 😊
well… yes.
Competent standard lib + decentralized libs + checksum db.
While the article is a bit theatralic, it offers important arguments.
Very interesting, did not know about either, thanks!
As said, xfce or mate as desktop environment instead of cinnamon might give you enough for what you want to achieve
Its a slow CPU, but will do fine for SNES emulation. But if you already have 24.04 on it (or is this a live boot), just go ahead and try. Might be fine. Xfce if it is just too slow to use but I would even give a “normal” KDE or gnome distro a shot.
I… like it 👀
7·8 months agoThat’s a really interesting read, thanks for sharing
61·9 months agoFine if you’re fine with that 🌞 Others might dislike it because of that
Well it allows rug pulling, you can go closed source or a company could fork and go closed source based on your work

And no, that’s not the position of the Linux kernel.
I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area
where I’m willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level
maintainer.
Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues
with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.
Or just walk away.
AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it’s clearly a useful one.
It may not have been that “clearly” even just a year ago, but it’s no
longer in question today.
There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will
actually look like in the end), but “is it useful” is no longer one of
those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn’t actually used
it.
Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer
workloads and just from a “it keeps finding embarrassing bugs”
standpoint.
But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing “La La
La, I can’t hear you” at the top of your voice like some people seem
to do.
The solution is to make sure those LLM tools help maintainers
instead of just causing them pain. There’s no question on that side.
We’re not forcing anybody to use it, but I will very loudly ignore
people who try to argue against other people from using it.
And no, AI isn’t perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the
problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at
themselves at the same time.
Because it’s not like natural intelligence is always all that great either.
The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.
Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and
often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that’s a
side benefit, not the point of the project.
This is NOT some kind of “social warrior” project, never has been,
and never will be.
In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better
technology, not because of religious reasons.
And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear
of new tools.
