Oh that’s… wow. That’s really bad.

Side note: Red Hat’s home office is very near where I live, and I’ve considered looking for a position there… but their recent bullshit, and this sharp lean into LLM idiocy really turns me off of that idea.

Ah that’s what I meant, oops

Oh wait, it did? TIL. LPCAMM, or SODIMMs?

The “s” means it’s a tiny bit thinner and lighter, but the components are soldered on so you can’t upgrade anything.

One of the big selling points of the newest T14 is that it is probably the most modular and repairable modern laptop you can get, except for Frameworks.

Get the non-s if you care even a little bit about that part.

CVE aside, that headline is phonetically amusing

• On the idea of a kill switch: while I said that we won’t add a “global kill switch”, all of these capabilities will be delivered as Snaps to the OS, layered on top of the existing Ubuntu stack. That means there will always be the option of removing those Snaps - which I suppose acts as a sort of kill switch for the features we’re planning on shipping.
• Opt-in vs Opt-out: my plan is to introduce AI-backed features as a “preview” on a strictly opt-in basis in 26.10. In subsequent releases, my plan is to have a step in the initial setup wizard that allows the user to choose whether or not they’d like the AI-native features enabled. Because of the size of most LLMs, we simply couldn’t ship them in the installer anyway, so opting out at first run is simple: they just won’t be there.

Point of order: “you can easily remove the Snaps from your install” is an opt-out mechanism. Calling these features “opt-in” is gaslighting.

disturbingly pervasive shuffling noises intensify

Linux vs macOS steam usage comparison is… kinda nonsensical, since Linux has a whole ecosystem around making windows games run smoothly on Linux, whereas macOS doesn’t - and I don’t see Apple focusing on that at any point, tbh.

I’m not sure it will, because Asahi isn’t selling anything, and hardware that Apple EOLs is hardware that Apple doesn’t care as much about

I think he’s a tool, but credit where it’s due: it’s great that he’s supporting the movement, and he does have a huge following.

Wow, Kent is evidently VERY high on his own farts.

…no… this is a bad idea. Especially in a browser, given the myriad safety and security concerns in play. This is an objectively bad way to make changes to the project. I can just about guarantee they’re going to introduce some horrid subtle flaws.

Woah wait what? The “let’s vibecode it” angle is fucking stupid, to be clear, but I was unaware of that user drama. Very interesting.

Yeah I’m running 16s and that’s pushing it imo

Holy fuck can you imagine how long it would take to re-stripe a failed drive in a z2 array 😭

They knew what they were doing 😏

I’m saying I want to make a difference by helping to break the hegemony the country I was born in has on the world. I dare say the only people who would call that a bad thing are specifically the sort of people I absolutely fucking detest in this place.
