@jaycifer @lightnsfw try adding “crypto” “AI” “decentralized” “quantum” to your resume

@Cryophilia @mojofrododojo 33% of the population?

@Xerxos no, and i don’t mean to be all hand-wavey and say ‘oh AI isn’t a problem because it’s open source’ BUT, it does give me some vague hope because an increasing number of really good models are being open sourced and lots of people not working for shitty corporations are having a lot of success with non-corporate AI models so… i dunno, some good could come of it?
some bad could be mitigated? maybe?

@Croquette yeah, i feel like if today, someone invented a cure for cancer, it would be weaponized as leverage against some group/country
it’s alot to do with the political state of the world which is a lot to do with enduring oligarchies

@Croquette @DestroyerOfWorlds It’s all open source though and anyone can use it

@Titou @lemmeee playing proprietary games based on proprietary libraries with proprietary art and music and stories but it’s ok because we didn’t use Windows

@pingveno i think that two things get conflated. 1. flatpaks and appimages, snaps, have some niche uses for obsolete software and maybe some other edge cases 2. because the two major standards are backed by dumbass corporate entities, they have been promoted as the universal solution to everything that will revolutionize linux 3. the real thing everyone hates, is these stupid companies trying to get rid of a beautiful package management architechture so they can enshittify linux like windows

@kingmongoose7877 until someone tells me another way to run 2 python apps one which requires python 2 and one which requires python 3, on the same system, which is EASIER than installing a flatpak, im gonna maintain that they have a use case, even if they aren’t idealized package management as we dreamed of

@squid_slime let me install this flatpak of kde wayland on my oracle unbreakable kernel running under redhat enterprise

@swordgeek @possiblylinux127 this from a guy who still uses swords

@tet its great because you can listen to people whine about it now instead of systemd

@taanegl @DmMacniel omg i was so prepared to hear a anti-lennart-pottering rant about sysv init scripts
thanks for what instead turned out to be a very thoughtful and educational text which i will now send to all these sysv ppl

@n3m37h @Dudewitbow HDMI consortium decides to f around and find out if people really care re: displayport vs hdmi

@muntedcrocodile @0x4E4F should be able to run dosbox on any platform tho [gives you turbo pascal source]

@scratchandgame @Pantherina i only have an issue when they dont upstream any of the functionality they add… buuuutttt… a lot of the progress linux has made in recent years has been upstreamed evil corporation™ code so… i dunno… mixed blessing
