You are saying that to someone who recently bought a Lenovo T420 with a new battery pack, installed Debian with Xfce. An amazing work horse.

Yeah, maybe your CISO should read a book about Stuxnet lol

So you are implying the Debian maintainers are adding “slop”?

chips like Intel’s old Core 2 Duo, which comprises about 47 percent of their fleet

That’s just a crazy number and I was not aware how dated their systems were. On the other hand, never touch a running system.

Enjoy BSD then, because Linus Torvalds also uses LLM’s

I can get that and I also prefer sticking to major versions. However, I am chaotic and easily have 50 different docker images, checking all the release cycle of all of those gets exhausting.

I believe I need to start generating notifications if a tag has not received an update for more than 30d.

I hate providers not offering me a latest tag. Is there any valid reason not to do that?

Even worse, super stupid version tags such as MinIO is using: RELEASE.2025-09-07T16-13-09Z-cpuv1 (I wish I made that up)

Same boat. Because a company abusing a hardware standard so much you basically have to emulate things, is the result of capitalism.

@[email protected] you have the genes of IE6

So what is your suggestion? Where do you draw the line? Because obviously it is not just about LLM.

Same goes for PayPal, and yet everybody keeps using it. Not saying that this is a reason to use Frontier models. But calling the whole technology fascist is simply not true.

Initially sent to debian-private, shared here because I want the consequences of Debian fully embracing fascist-backed technology to be known.

That seems to be a bit far reached and naive. Hopefully Antoine isn’t driving cars, because there are several brands that were supported by Nazi’s at one time in the past.

Besides that, I think it is good to have a discussion about the use or LLM. I just think that the reason here is a bit unusual.

Uhm. Not new? Is being done by almost any country on any bigger event? Including blue light forces? How is this even news?

I think you are confusing something. A tech company running proprietary code can and will ask for age verification. It does not matter if the user runs Windows, Linux, iOS, GrapheneOS.

The law here makes sure that services, which are basically also open source, are not required to do the age verification check.

So, you install Windows? Age check. You install Linux? No age check. Before even opening a browser. Then on Linux you open Netflix? Age check.

So I fundamentally saw this actually as a good news.

Already in the works and already bigger than GTAVI. It is called Star Citizen

Fair point :)

That part is even more idiotic. No one needs to be able to see to understand and be very good at mathematics and physics.

But that’s not even what she needed to learn and understand. To reverse engineer, you need to be patient, clever, creative and understand how assembler works. To write a driver is then the easier part and again, has nothing to do with visual skills. She could be blind and deaf and would still be able to reverse engineer GPU’s and sound cards.

One of the most remarkable software engineers is shown for attribution

Some internet idiots: ”BuT loOk At HeR EyEs”

It isn’t always about “new”. For example, some GNU binaries are decades old and were changed only to fix bugs.

C has major disadvantages compared to Rust, which is why even Linus Torvalds said a couple of years ago, to not write any new C code anymore for the Kernel and that old code will be transpiled steadily.

It is not about a cult. It is not about being fancy. It is quite the opposite. Choosing Rust over C is very rational.

Also, obligatory fuck Canonical. Automatic transpiling is such a stupid thing. Have fun maintaining the new code that was written by a machine, while not having any Rust experts in your team.

Fck, my bad, you are absolutely right. Fixed my comment.
