@notmybackdoorbug is there such thing right now? They are sending data to usual suspects like OpenAI and others.

Now that Mozilla Firefox is adding AI directly to its browser, are there any browsers without AI or LLM? I don't want anything to do with the current LLM and AI, which I strongly believe stealing from artists, and all AI companies are freeloaders. It is a bit disappointing to see open-source software adopting something like this. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/ai-services-on-firefox/

@biglinter nooo 🫣 I use ios daily. I will be sad but it won’t be the end of the world

If a particular product shut down today, what product would be categorized as "nothing of value was lost"? 🤔

Nothing unites Linux users like a heated debate (or as I call it 'holy war') about systemd or the merits of their favorite distro. It's a love-hate relationship that keeps the community passionate and the flame wars burning bright every day. 😂 #linux #opensource

@helioloureiro duf ... I see you are a man of culture as well. Ha!

When in doubt, always go with ZFS.

ZFS is a love letter sysadmins write to themselves, while LVM/LVM2 is a self-inflicted headache. Choose your data safety and sanity wisely on #Unix, #FreeBSD and #Linux.

By the time you're 35, you should have successfully done following at least once:

1. rm -rf / on your unix or linux box
2. Reboot production server by mistake
3. Drop CPU/hard disk and damage it permanently
4. Changing firewall rule instantly blocked you out
5. No backup was made/verified ever...
6. Delete source code before actually committing to source control
7. Run a SQL update/delete with wrong where clause

@xavsworld let us hope it will not turn into yet another vc funded disaster.

Unethical pro tip: Start an AI company If you wish to break copyright laws openly. Maybe IA could learn something from tech bros. This is the way. For some weird reason, you get protection if you say you are scanning and scraping content, art, books, and everything else out there.

@ramsey they probably just want to convert you into paying customers. Someone posted archived link. Please use that link to read it. I hope this helps.
