Will find time to migrate to NetBSD by then. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago (1 child) No you won't permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] helix@feddit.org 1 point 5 days ago* (1 child) Yes they will! Don't underestimate the stupidity of ultra-geeks. Maybe that's a good thing for both Linux and BSD. The first loses a few annoying loud geeks who didn't contribute anyway, and the latter gets more traction due to loud geeks advertising it in their hackerspaces where other, more useful, geeks reside. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 1 point 4 days ago (1 child) Do you have anything else to contribute to this discussion besides using the word "geek"? Avoiding addressing the opponent directly does not make your comment non-aggressive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] helix@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago I specifically said "loud geek". I don't have an issue with geeks themselves. By all means, switch to BSD, but don't yap about it irrelevantly in a thread about Linux. You tell me I have nothing to contribute to the discussion, yet your comment didn't include anything to discuss, just a personal announcement. permalink fedilink source parent [–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children) Honestly don't know enough about programming to be sure but this seems like a responsible use of AI: flagging issues in large blocks of code for manual review. The DM changes merged for Linux 7.3 include six minor code clean-ups for issues spotted by Claude Opus 4.6. There are also various manual code clean-ups to different DM targets, improved metadata validation for DM-PCACHE and DM-ARRAY, and various fixes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 days ago (1 child) Finding flaws in code is probably the most useful thing claude can do. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 point 5 days ago Yup, it's not generating anything, which is where all the problems come in. permalink fedilink source parent [–] helix@feddit.org 0 points 5 days ago You're correct and they're a loud geek who know nothing about Kernel development. permalink fedilink source parent [–] helix@feddit.org 0 points 5 days ago (1 child) Nice, then you'll stop annoying knowledgeable people with your Dunning Kruger questions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 child) I tried to find what you are referring to, but I couldn't find anything.
