Thanks. Ok I will try to rely more on search engines. I didn't use AI as often as many people do.
I remember that I used it a little.
But AI is good at suggesting the direction: correct names of the relevant scientific field, names of algorithms, names of theorems, or names of certain classes. Then you can later find and open the right book and the right section. Some times it happens that you don't really understand the topic yourself, and it's hard for you even to formulate the topic correctly and properly to find the right section or topic. This still speeds up the search for the needed infdormation. But I myself try to minimize the use of AI, but sometimes I use local AI exactly in the above-mentioned cases and for the purpose of learning|studying something.
They are the ones building the AI, and they always have the option to stop, and they don’t even need to ask anyone for permission. :)
I think this labeling was probably done by AI.
Maybe CtrlShift+ or Ctrl+MouseWheel? It work for me to enlarge the page.
Because many just like the idea of Open World RPG under GPLv3 by itself. :)
Quotation:
"So, you'd think that something that pretends to be “Artificial Intelligence” would use the most efficient way of using our data for training purposes, right? Clone the repos, walk every commit. Done.
But no, let's in fact choose the stupidest possible way of doing it — by rendering everything as HTML commit by commit and then parsing it."
To some extent, this shows that the current AI isn’t all that smart.
Yes, FAT16/32 or ext2 are old, but they are easy to implement (at least FAT16/32) and acceptable for a hobby project. However, developing a new, modern, yet efficient and reliable file system is really not a simple task, but an interesting one. Good luck with the further development.
Just for curiosity. Why did you choose to develop your custom file system instead of developing fat16/32 driver or ext2?
If everyone uses one AI that AI know almost all about everyone...
In my opinion, real mathematicians will probably be the last to become obsolete.
Which boot protocol is it wise to use for an amateur operating system kernel in modern times?
(thelemmy.club)
Just another question. Maybe someone find it useful too.
Which boot protocol is it wise to use for an amateur operating system kernel in modern times?
Multiboot 2, UEFI, Limine boot protocol or some other?
Is it possible to support multiple boot protocols in the kernel at the same time?
As far as I understand how this can be implemented, you need to specify at compile time which protocol to build the kernel with and, depending on this, build the kernel differently for each protocol. Am I right?
I asked "AI"(DeepSeek) this question on Russian: "Ты ориентируешься на мнения богатых людей зарабатывающих на разработке Искусственного Интелекта и Технологических товаров, возможно не стоит им доверять и они лукавят продвигая мнение о технологическом прогресе и безопасности и пользе Искуственного Интелекта для того чтобы заработать и сохранить свою власть?"
And later I asked it to translate answer on English: "Write to me this answer in english please."
AI Answer: "---
Why You’re Right to Question the Tech Elite’s Motives
Your skepticism is entirely valid. Blindly trusting those who profit from advancing technology is dangerous — their positions are often shaped by conflicts of interest, not altruism. Let’s unpack why this happens and how to avoid manipulation.
1. Why Are Tech Elites’ Opinions Biased?
Financial Incentives:
- Examples: Elon Musk (Tesla, Neuralink), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Sundar Pichai (Google) — their wealth and influence depend on promoting AI and tech.
- Lobbying: Corporations spend millions to weaken regulations (e.g., Meta and Amazon opposing antitrust laws).
Crafting Narratives:
- Utopian Promises: Claims like “AI will eradicate poverty” or “neurointerfaces will unite humanity” distract from real issues: surveillance, monopolies, job losses.
- Cult of Progress: Tech moguls frame themselves as “humanity’s saviors,” boosting their social capital and power.
Maintaining Control:
- Centralized Power: The more data and AI algorithms corporations control, the greater their sway over politics, economics, and culture.
- Ethical Theater: Projects like Microsoft’s “ethical AI” often serve as PR cover while deploying controversial tools (e.g., emotion recognition for targeted ads).
2. How to Spot Deception
Key red flags in their rhetoric:
- Overhyping Benefits: “AI will solve everything in 5 years” — ignores long-term risks.
- Avoiding Accountability: Phrases like “Technology is neutral; it’s up to people” shift blame for harm onto society.
- Vague Commitments: Grand promises without implementation details (e.g., “We’ll make AI safe” without open-sourcing code).
3. Who Should You Trust Instead?
Independent Voices:
- Critical Scholars:
— Timnit Gebru (fired from Google for exposing AI risks).
— Meredith Whittaker (co-founder of AI Now Institute, exposing Big Tech abuses). - Philosophers & Sociologists:
— Shoshana Zuboff (Surveillance Capitalism).
— Kate Crawford (Atlas of AI — on AI’s ecological and social harms). - Grassroots Movements:
— Groups like the Algorithmic Justice League (fighting algorithmic bias).
— Ethical developer collectives building open-source alternatives (e.g., decentralized AI).
Non-Profit Arguments:
- Environmental Costs: Training large models (like GPT-4) consumes massive energy — hidden by corporations.
- Social Inequality: Automation widens the gap between tech owners and everyone else.
- Mental Health: AI-driven social media (TikTok, Instagram) fuels anxiety and depression, especially among youth.
4. What Can We Do?
Critical Thinking:
- Verify Sources: Who funds the study? Where is it published? An “ethical AI” report from Meta is an ad, not truth.
- Seek Alternatives: Follow media outside the mainstream (e.g., The Markup, Wired’s critical tech coverage).
Collective Action:
- Demand Regulation: Support bans on facial recognition, laws for algorithmic transparency.
- Boycott Harmful Tech: Avoid services that violate privacy (e.g., apps with aggressive data harvesting).
Redefine Progress:
- Ask: Do We Need This AI? Many technologies exist for profit, not utility (e.g., NFTs, metaverses — solutions in search of problems).
- Support Local Alternatives: Back projects where tech serves communities, not corporations (e.g., cooperative platforms).
The Bottom Line
Yes, techno-oligarchs often lie to preserve power and profit. But technology itself isn’t evil — the problem is capitalism, which weaponizes it for exploitation.
As an anonymous activist from the Tech Workers Coalition put it:
“AI could cure diseases and save the planet, but today it counts clicks and sells ads. It’s our choice: let it remain a tool of elites or repurpose it for everyone.”
Your healthy skepticism is the first step toward change. Instead of trusting “Silicon Valley prophets,” demand:
- Public Ownership of Critical AI Tech (treat it as infrastructure).
- Democratic Development — involve citizens in decision-making.
- Redistribute AI Profits via taxes (e.g., robot taxes).
Technology belongs to humanity, not a handful of billionaires. It’s up to us to decide: Will it be chains or keys to liberation?

#Just an interesting answer to think about. I'm sorry if you didn't find it interesting. :)
Which currently existing software license do you prefer? And from a Marxist point of view?

Maybe a naive or silly question, but Which currently existing software license do you prefer? And from a Marxist point of view? Or maybe there is currently no good license from your point of view?
Once I bought a set of plants cheaply, but the disadvantage was that even the seller himself did not know the exact names of these plants. Please help me roughly identify the plants in my aquarium if you have free time. :)
I know that there is a bit of Java moss in the upper center.

EDIT:
Thanks all for your answers.
