Imagine two glasses, both 8 oz. One is titled usability and the other titled security.

And one is the dumpster fire that is Windows 11.

I feel like these security arguments are overblown. Linux is still pretty damn secure, and the Linux community is still tough on fixing security bugs.

Would you rather be using a UNIX-based secure OS, or Windows update-and-crash 11?

I don’t see any open-source forks of a BSD spinoff (only proprietary ones like what runs on the PS5)

I wonder why. Maybe if they were GPL, they wouldn’t have that problem.

Yeah, because Pokémon.

But, I personally don’t give a shit about a franchise that glorifies gladiatorial slavery in the veneer of a kid’s show.

People quietly forgot about Ingress, but who’s counting?

Depends on what you mean by “fanboys”. No, the hype isn’t as real as these rich assholes make it out to be. LLMs aren’t going to replace all human workforce everywhere ever, like some of these techbro dipshits quickly find out.

But, I’m still going to use technology that produce a tool in two minutes what would have normally taken me two hours to do. Sure, I have to code review it, but that doesn’t take nearly as long as the work itself.

Slop that produces inaccurate results and then tells you it did no such thing.

I use Claude at work and local LLMs at home, and they all produce good code. The Kagi agents work pretty well at searching for information that would have taken me 30-60 minutes to find. Although, I generally favor thinking models because they are good at edge cases.

You have to know how to provide good context for the situation, like examples, prior art, documentation, etc. Many people have a hard time even expressing an idea to a group of humans. Imagine your (pointy-haired) boss shows your department a picture in the next meeting:

B: “Go make this thing!”

D: “What thing?”

B: “Here. This thing. Make something just like it for our company!”

D: “Well, we can’t just copy it outright. What color should it be? What do we want to improve on? How do we tie it to our existing software?”

B: “I don’t know. That’s your job to figure out, right?”

That’s how most people treat LLMs. Garbage in, garbage out.

Remember, IBM is the company that fucked over CentOS when they acquired it, and then tried to block their forked OSs from getting updates.

IBM’s acquisitions over the last couple of decades have ended in sadness, so I wouldn’t trust that company to take out my trash, much less “secure enterprise open-source software”.

OpenAI already at the stage of begging for a government bailout. So, they are in the process of imploding, and Hegseth will come crawling back to Anthropic, anyway.

People seem to forget that, 15-20 years ago, 95% of email was spam. It’s gone down since then, but only because email isn’t that important of a communication platform nowadays.

Bad actors attack with the tools they’ve got. If it’s not protected, it’s exploitable until it is.

At first, I thought this was the next step after the whole AI minister is preggers with 83 AI babies scam, but realized that was Albania. Still, “non-human corporations” is close enough on the corruption scale.

No mob is good at nuance, which is frustrating. Black and white mentality bullshit.

Yes, the sociopath, narcissist and billionaires have taken over. There is no more democracy. There is no more rule of law.

And what do you do to those sociopaths, narcissists, and billionaires? Talk to them to death? Your words have no meaning to them. You can’t expect empathy from sociopaths. That’s literally in the definition of the word.

There is probably no way, at this point, to end the corruption peacefully. Possibly no way at all.

No, there isn’t. We were past that about 10-20 years ago.

You’re going to have a pretty tough time with DB0. I don’t think any of us want AI bots posting fake posts or lazy slop bullshit, but many of us just see LLMs as a tool. It’s not the technology’s fault that a bunch of rich assholes want to drive the economy to the ground over it.

Sure, if they are using Copilot. Copilot is fucking garbage.

If they made a model that was half as good as Claude or Kimi or Qwen, they wouldn’t be in this mess.

Yeah, the text-based style of DF makes it inaccessible for 99% of the potential players.

So, you’re a robot?

This is the first time I’ve seen a four-way version of this meme.

Yeah, but I’m willing to bet that there are more RimWorld players than Dwarf Fortress players.

People use Exchange server? In the year of our lord 2026?
