Why do many people dislike Linux? Freedom and openness: Open source, No vendor lock-in, Many distributions Security: By default, more secure than Windows. Fewer viruses. Regular security updates.

Oh yeah, I forgot about our gamers! They will whine that you can't play games on Linux. It's very funny because for a long time there has been a program called lux-wine that allows you to open 95% of .exe programs and even more so you can choose any version of Windows without downloading anything, there is like proton and so on.
I am ready to talk to anyone about this topic, but not for the purpose of humiliation or insult.
What's Linux? Why are you making a strawman to found yoer disagreement, there is no inherent value to what you believe to be obvious.
"Linux the kernel" is a wonder of the software world. One free and open source kernel codebase to rule them all, a culture, a license that enshrines that culture. The kernel is great as it is.
"Linux the kernel packaged with software used on the desktop" is flaming garbage. That's not to say it's worse, modern windows is like using the lava from Chernobyl to keep warm on a brisk evening. MacOS is relatively acceptable but Apple isn't. Open source BSD based OSes are cumbersome on the edges of general computing. Android is all but Google OS at this point. Ultimately no practical, actually useful alternatives to linux on the desktop actually exist. This does NOT mean we have to convince ourselves it is actually good.
"Linux the kernel and a server OS package" is great, can't go wrong with this. Love it, genuinely.
"Linux for embedded devices" is a fucking travesty. Still happens.
Various opinion roundup:
nix is the only case of anyone ever truly imagining what they could do with a Linux system
"open source" does not provide value, the implications do, when true
Linux is as secure as your dedication to never using software from outside the package manager is. Oh you installed discord? steam? compiled something and fetched dependencies? Those aren't the package manager, oops! (Discord gladly downloads its own updates whether you think you've stopped that or not)
Fewer viruses you've heard of
Regular security updates is a low effort troll given the corporate OSes are paid to do so

We reserve the right to decide against promoting individual project's projects that could damage the reputation of Codeberg e.V.)
let's go with 48% (on the high side because I'm assuming it's mostly German users and that their internet is better than the shit we get in the U.S.); obviously we pick ourselves!
let's see. I'd expect the average Codeberg user to be more technically skilled than the average user, which should increase the probability for IPv6 slightly. Then again, there is only so much one can do if one's ISP is stuck in the last century.
Most users would be connecting from home, which also increases the probably since most companies internal networks are also stuck in the last century.
let's say 12%, and that's mostly because no major residential ISP in North America turned it on yet because why would you do so when you're hogging all of the IPv4? Heard Europe and elsewhere are doing a good job, though
I fetch my own data and I see 33% IPv4 and 67% IPv6
Except Bot, scrapper and other bad things I think at least a good 75% (I would say 85% but... Except in France, there is not country above 75% of IPv6 adoption)

To me, the saddest thing about LLM powered genAI is that the technology is actually really cool but thanks to capitalism and greed, it's been built out in the worst possible way. Trained on stolen, unattributed information of all kinds. Tweaked and tuned by hand by an army of clandestine underpaid overseas labor. Stealing power and water from mostly working class folks. Slapped on anything and everything whether we want it or not tasked with replacing services that actually work with something that fundamentally cannot match their performance.
Like, the ability to understand natural language regardless of how it's written is super cool. The ability to take mountains of input and turn it into a model that can create output that looks like the correct answer in a way a person would create it is pretty neat. It's not necessarily accurate but in the right situation, and with qualified people, that can be accounted for. It never should have been unleashed on the public as a generic chatbot. That's the worst, most wasteful use for it. They don't understand that it isn't thinking. They don't understand how bad it is for the environment. It needed a few more years, maybe a decade, in labs and with specialists. Not this. This is garbage. This is apocalyptic.
Entire businesses are being built on misunderstandings, on lies. Real people have been fired to be replaced by a GIGO regurgitation engine. Certain end-users are treating chat confabulations like oracles from a god and failing to exercise the most basic fact checking. It's turning us into liars and addicts. Lives are being ruined.
If it's any consolation none of the AIs and chatbots out right now have a fucking clue about the language they're projectile vomiting out. To me it's a toy, nothing more.
I enjoy playing with it, and it can do some interesting things, but the amount of times I have to correct it's output is insane. Things like, "The sky isn't blue on Venus. It's more of a yellow color thanks to its atmospheric content. How might a beautiful spring picnic look like on Venus?" and the damn AI insisits it's got blue skies, green grass, and isn't 900°F outside.
@gme Agree that it's a toy. After I posted that and went to bed last might, I was thinking about some if the image, audio, and video synthesis it churns out. Being able to parse a rambling set of instructions about what the user wants and then munging its massive data set into something that matches the prompt is very impressive, six-fingered nonwithstanding. They will never "solve" confabulation because that's just how it works. It's all just stringing numbers / tokens together in a way that probabilistically meets the prompt. It could have been developed and released in a much more socially responsible manner. It's neat. From an academic standpoint, they've been discovering unexpected and impressive emergent functionality. That's the cool part. We didn't need to exploit, bully, and steal to learn it; but that's sure as hell how we did it.
Speaking of confabulation... When the AI chatbot correctly figures out what's going on in this video I'll know then that it's either safe to use, or it'll mark the end of the World.

It's from Rockwell International in the 1960s I believe and was a satirical spoof on all the engineering videos films they've been having to do the whole script is bullshit with nonsensical names and barely plausible descriptions.
Edit: "Videos"? And I was there for the birth of home video! Can't believe I said "videos" when I meant "film". Gah! Damn kids with their MTV......
@gme Well, I hope you have a well stocked survival bunkers then because end of days are upon us;
"This is a classic example of technical-sounding nonsense - it's the famous "Turbo Encabulator" parody that has been circulating since the 1940s. The passage deliberately uses impressive-sounding technical jargon and engineering terminology, but the words are either completely made up or used in meaningless combinations. The piece describes a fictional machine called a "turbo encabulator" that supposedly solves various technical problems through invented mechanisms. Terms like "inverse reactive current," "unilateral phase detractors," "magneto-reluctance," and "capacitive diractance" sound plausible but are actually gibberish when examined closely. Key elements of the parody include:
Made-up components like "hydrocoptic marzlevanes," "ambifacient lunar waneshaft," and "panendermic semi-boloid slots"
Pseudo-technical processes like "modial interaction" and "sinusoidal repleneration" Complex-sounding but meaningless assembly descriptions
The humor lies in how convincingly technical it sounds despite being complete nonsense. This parody has been used over the decades to satirize overly complex technical documentation, corporate jargon, and the tendency to use impressive-sounding language to obscure meaning. Various companies have created video presentations of the turbo encabulator as a joke, and it's become a beloved piece of engineering humor that highlights the importance of clear, honest communication in technical fields."
I'm convinced the AI spout out something someone has written before about this very old and famous film.
I am not convinced the AI understood one word of what it wrote, and why. Of course to prove my hypothesis one would need to come up with an entirely novel and original source to feed into the AI to test it's reason and perception skills.
@gme @n_dimension of course it didn't understand it. It's not a general AI. It doesn't think or know or care about anything. It can create something that looks like thought because our brains love to anthropomorphize things. The output is fancy math based autocomplete. Nothing more. It's cool, but it's not thinking.
I think that the coolest thing about #AI is that it forces us to REALLY try to understand what HUMAN thinking is. We have made some breakthroughs in our model of consciousness with the Penrose -Susskind models. We actually have papers now that support empirically that Consciousness is a quantum phenomena.
So our current models will likely never be truly conscious, until we port them to quantum computers. But then again, if the LLMs fake it well enough...will it matter?
We actually have papers now that support empirically that Consciousness is a quantum phenomena.
Hope the models apply to other mammals and living things because I'm sick of anyone saying that other mammals are somehow "less" than us. Hell, they're not even less evolved than us, they're just evolved perfectly for their environment.
Religion tried to teach me that only Man was conscious and only Man had a "soul" (I'm using a secular definition to define an organism's "essenceofself".)
Because anyone that has animals, owns animals, cares for animals, and works with animals, knows damn well they are just as conscious and self-aware as you and I are.
@gme You make a very good point that challenges AI practitioners.
"How do we test that the #AI is more of an intelligence and less artificial?"
For a very long time, the Turing test was the gold standard for benchmarking AI. We thought, that once machines pass the Turing test, we will have true AI. Of course, the current frontier models blow past Turing benchmark easily.
So the ARC (Abstract reasoning Corpus) was developed to really task AI. It's now is in its third iteration (ARC3?) because once again the frontier #LLM models blew past V1 and V2
We have just developed what we ominously call "Humanities Last Exam" which fails AIs because it relies on super specific knowledge of subject that are very specialised.
However, given that AI exhibit a capability called "zero-shot". That's giving output for data they have not been trained on, I don't give much life expectancy to HLE. Will we have reached #AGI in 18 months when HLE is broken by the machines? And will it matter anymore?
Ultimately I think it matters if the AI is able to be creative and generate new and original art.
I think creativity is a fundamental requirement of the "quantum" thing that forms consciousness.
Elephants and dogs have been shows to be creative when given tools and instruments they can use, and the correct opportunity.
I'm reminded of a scene in the game "Detroit Become Human" where one of the protagonist androids showing emergent behavior is asked to paint something for the character he is caring for and at first the android simply produces a reproduction from its visual sensors.
I don't know/ remember if the character was ever able to show true creativity but it came damn close in the game. (It was Marcus for anyone wondering).
I realize now I set up a dunk shot without dunking: Basically, agentic AI involves you consenting to give AI control over your computer, with the idea that instead of actually pressing keys you tell the system what you want it to do and how, and it figures out the most expedient way to comply with your request.
As much as I detest the term "agentic AI" for all that it stands for, it's a term that everyone should understand and be conversant about. If you thought we had problems already with systems being compromised by botnets, wait until everyone and his mom starts handing control over their system to agentic AI. It won't be long now.
There are a number of AI platforms now that will allow people to engage agentic AI bots, and I have to say these places are generally libertarian utopias. It's kind of like CoPilot, but w/out any of the ethical and security guardrails.
Come to think of it, we're not far from a future in which nation states are founded on the idea that AI should be unbridled by laws and regulations.
Here's the thing: This agentic AI technology is new enough that it is mostly the realm of nerds. But we're probably not that far off from this capability being offered under slightly different framing to the general public.
Members of the DAIR institute wrote a paper detailing some of the motives behind creating "AI"and AGI like this. There's a reason the people behind it don't want guardrails and are willing to accept diminishing profitability
> ...the normative framework that motivates much of this goal is rooted in the Anglo-American eugenics tradition of the twentieth century. As a result, many of the very same discriminatory attitudes that animated eugenicists in the past (e.g., racism, xenophobia, classism, ableism, and sexism) remain widespread within the movement to build AGI, resulting in systems that harm marginalized groups and centralize power, while using the language of “safety” and “benefiting humanity” to evade accountability. We conclude by urging researchers to work on defined tasks for which we can develop safety protocols, rather than attempting to build a presumably all-knowing system such as AGI.
the image generation farms that sprouted up to let people use img/vid models like sdxl/ponyXL/flux are full of what I would consider to be abuse material in spite of being generated.
there are a ton of loras and checkpoints with activation keywords for prompts to call a function; removing clothing and inpainting what the model believes their naked body looks like, for example. a lot of "looks 14 but" and similar language that i can only flag so many of before it gets overwhelming.
I think people are going to love it when their agent spends real money on fake tickets and hotel reservations for their real trip, because scammers are DEFINITELY going to be among the first to make agentic endpoints for those kinds of transactions.
And those AIs are all owned and operated by mega billionaires with their own agendas and abilities to control how the AI things and what it is programmed to tell people...
Many people work in data mining and database administration and coding. Don't use the term AI privately. I would then use it publicly because they want you to understand what they're saying. But privately, it's not AI, it's BG. It's a bullshit generator and you can never trust it. Sometimes it provides useful answers, and sometimes it lies, and sometimes it hallucinates. And it is always, always, always, always a point of failure for any process.
I wonder if the goal is to”you know like the computers on any StarFleet ship in Star Trek” but the reality is just more private data collected and sold to sell us shit we can’t afford and don’t need like Wall-E.
that's a hard NO from me. I don't trust most of my family to admin my computer's, nevermind some statistical model, information grabbing, tool built by (probably) a team of vibe coders
And when that AI agent is tricked into believing the best way to accomplish a task is to install spyware? Or to open holes in firewalls? Or to respond on your behalf to the Arab prince email who just needs all your personal and banking information to make a temporary transfer and compensate you millions for your troubles? To the people who say this is hyperbole, I say, they lack imagination.
I can just see the results now. The least bad case is the "agent" draining your bank account because you didn't tell it not to exceed a certain cost. The worst case involves military showing up at your door because it decided to hack a few sensitive systems along the way. These things will require all the skill of a good engineer in specifying the prompt, will be used by people who think clicking on links in a browser is too complicated.
Just FYI, I was asked to talk about what's ahead for AI and then freaked out because I don't know anything about AI. So I set aside a few days to sit w/ a couple of the best red-teamers I know.
Tl;dr: one told it to mimic the IT infrastructure of the target environment, and then run a battery of tests using APIs for some vulnerability testing services. He told it to dox the employees of the targeted company; to provide a roadmap for exploitable vulnerabilities. It did all this and more. The expert said the resulting report produced by the agentic AI bot was the equivalent of an entire team of red-teamers working for a week. The compute time cost less than $10.
Two weeks ago I hadn't heard the term. In the last two weeks I've heard it about 50 times. Every vendor has replaced the word autonomous with agentic in their vocabulary
I was going slightly spare at the fact that every talk at this Anthropic developer conference has used the word "agents" dozens of times, but nobody ever stopped to provide …

You're wondering how they'd be so stupid - going back on their promise not to cut Medicare. I'm wondering how in hell so many Americans could be so stupid to think they wouldn't.
I'm sure Trump and his congressional enablers think it's a safe move. After all, the total number of Americans directly affected probably can't change the mid-terms, assuming they all vote.
But their extended families could.
So might the undertow effect - if enough Americans understand what's pullling them under.
Then there's the short-sighted American propensity to assume other Americans are all freeloaders. So many of us will hook line and sinker that dangling "they should all be working" bait.
Odd though, that proving they're working isn't going to be easy. Then there's that clause that keeps them from getting Obamacare if they lose Medicare.
Wonder how many folks will work out the truth - Republicans want to get the federal government out of the business of helping its citizens.

The term "spam" for unsolicited mail is humorously linked to the famous "Spam" skit from Monty Python's Flying Circus, where the repeated mention of "spam" in a café drives the characters to frustration.

Kanzler Merz hat deutliche Kritik an Israel geübt: Das Leiden der Bevölkerung im Gazastreifen lasse sich nicht mit dem Kampf gegen die Hamas begründen. Die Lufthansa-Gruppe setzt ihre Flüge ins israelische Tel Aviv bis Mitte Juni aus.
»Israel sei zahlreichen Gefahren von außen ausgesetzt,« Natürlich sollte jedes Land Gegner haben, das gerade einen Genozid durchführt, und seit Jahrzehnten Völkerrechtswidrige illegale Besatzung aufrecht erhält.
»Zugleich sei das Existenzrecht Israels Teil deutscher Staatsraison. Die Bundesregierung sei daher dazu verpflichtet, Israel bei der Gewährung seiner Sicherheit Beistand zu leisten«
Staatsräson ist verfassungsrechtlich nicht existent. Regierungen sind an die Verfassung gebunden.
»Israel bei der Gewährung seiner Sicherheit Beistand zu leisten, und dazu gehörten auch Waffenlieferungen«
Haben die Waffenlieferung Israel sicherer gemacht? Macht ein Genozid & eine Besatzung von einem riesigen Gebiet, Zerstörung von Leben & Wohngebäuden sicherer?
Meine These ist dass die Unterstützung Israels mit Waffen Israel eher unsicherer macht, den sie hilft bei der Besatzung, beim Töten von Menschen. Beim Genieren von Feinden, die gute Gründe haben das israelische Militär zu hassen.
Völkerrechtlich verpflichtet ist der deutsche Staat nichts dafür zu tun dass dabei hilft die Besatzung der palästinensischen Gebiete aufrecht zu erhalten.
Deutschland ist völkerrechtlich dazu verpflichtet keine Waffen zu liefern wenn nur die Wahrscheinlichkeit für Kriegsverbrechen und andere Völkerrechtsverletzungen bestehen.
Unterstützung, Billigung und Verharmlosung von Genozid & Kriegsverbrechen ist in Deutschland gesetzlich verboten.
»Der Iran habe etwa den festen Willen, Israel zu vernichten. "Gegenüber einer solchen Bedrohung darf Israel nicht schutzlos ausgeliefert sein«
Und was ist mit dem festen Willen der israelischen Regierung jede Lebensgrundlage für Palästinenser in Gaza zu zerstören und ihren Plänen sie aus Gaza zu vertreiben?
Ist ist eine israelische Auslöschungsdrohung ethisch besser als eine iranische?
Sind getötete palästinensische Kinder wertloser als israelische?
»"Wir müssen unterscheiden lernen zwischen Handlungen der israelischen Regierung und Israel als Ganzem, da gibt es große Unterschiede." Damit könne zur Versachlichung der Debatte beigetragen werden"«
Hält man uns alle für doof? Natürlich geht's ja um Regierungshandeln um Handeln des Staates als ganzen. Bei Waffenlieferungen geht's doch explizit um Regierung, Um die Machtmittel der Regierung. Um Verbrechen die die Regierung mit den Machtmitteln des Staats begeht.
Eine Versachlichung wäre ja erstmal zur Kenntnis zu nehmen, dass wir als deutscher Staat noch immer Waffen an Leute liefern die quasi jedes Verbrechen begehen dass das Völkerrecht kennt. Das wir als Staat Komplizen sind.
Wir liefern zusammen mit der USA die Waffen mit denen Zehntausende Kinder getötet wurden sind.
Wie soll Versachlichung in dem Zusammenhang aussehen?
Palästinensisches Leben, palästinensische Menschenwürde kommt bei all den Äußerungen nicht vor.
Es geht immer nur um das Problem für Israel, für das israelische Image und israelischen Sicherheit. Und ganz viel um die eigene deutsche Betroffenheit
Um die Kinder die von unseren Bomben zerfetzt oder verbrannt werden, oder wegen der mit deutscher Zustimmung verhängten Hungersnot verstorbene Kleinkinder geht's auch nicht.
es ist so dumm eine deligitimierendede Kritik an dem Israelischen Staat als Links zu bezeichnen. Wie glauben die Menschen eigentlich wie Verbrechen aufgearbeitet werden?
Dutch protests over Gaza: A painful truth for an Israeli abroad
Last week, the largest Dutch protest in 20 years saw over 100,000 people rally in The #Hague and other cities, calling for a #Gaza ceasefire, protesting against genocide, and urging the Dutch government to change its policy towards #Israel and demand urgent humanitarian aid for Gaza.
An Israeli emigrant in the #Netherlands reflects on the large-scale protests. While acknowledging initial discomfort with past pro-Palestinian demonstrations, which he describes as “scary,” he admits that the current protests, focused on humanitarian concerns and a clear condemnation of the war's impact on civilians, resonate with a growing sense of unease about the situation in Gaza.
[…] How does it feel when, throughout the country where you live, massive demonstrations are taking place calling to boycott and ostracize the place where you were born and raised, the country you love? Saying this is as painful as removing a shard of glass from deep within the flesh, but it is just as necessary: they are right. They haven't always been right, and they aren't right about everything. But today, now, on this matter - they are right. The situation in Gaza has simply spiraled out of control, and there probably never was a real guiding hand, one that sets goals and executes them. The vast majority of us, unfortunately, have fallen into the maze of mirrors called "living under Netanyahu's rule," and we mistakenly thought that the war has a purpose, justification, a possible end. Currently, it has none of those.
The international community views the war with increasing alarm, he says, regardless of Israeli justifications or narratives.
