Honestly I hate to admit that its thanks to LLMs that I have been able to fully switch to Arch the irony is that I actually end up reading more and understanding more about my system.

recently I had an issue where my Moza R5 Racing set up just stopped functionning. it turns out the drivers for it which I installed seperatly were now merged in kernel 6.18. I wasn't aware of that at all and it's actually the AI that made me aware of it. now essentially I had to uninstall the drivers and purge the configuration for it and reboot. it was a simple fix but I was doompasting commands into terminal from the AI and it was just going in circles eventually I actually had to figure it out myself.

I think that you actually still learn a lot from the AI about linux in general and since I used gemini pro for a month (now using glm-4.7 locally) which was up to date in terms of news and info.

Even though troubleshooting errors on linux with an AI can often end up in circles, I would have not have found out without the AI that the drivers for my niche sim racing rig on linux were merged into the kernel. I probably would have ended up doing a fresh install or a distro hop (most likely the latter since I always have issues with Arch).

if you are going to use llm, if you have a powerful enough rig then please try to run them locally. I did some AI assisted work with gemini (Google) and I find it genuinly creepy that if I ever ask it a question now it always tries to go back to my work even on unrelated topics, different chats and after prompting to stop or I will switch AI provider (I ended up switching in the end) it bugged me for two months then I switch to local.

I suspect it's trying to get me back to work to analyze my data to serve google's own interests but that would just be speculation right? RIGHT?

Good now burn it down please and ban X in France. Thank you.

I mean if we had piefed without a karma/reputation system we would get a true level playing field, reduced performative posting, more raw feedback and less censoring.

but on the other hand there would be too much noise, spam and bot flooding (since no reputation/karma), lack of trust and accountability.

Xitter for example has no rep system yet people still find a way to judge the quality of a post using the Ratio method (likes vs comments)

I like the principle of reddit and piefed expands on that and tries to come in with "common sense tools"

I think it's really up to you to decide what is important.

Do you want a place for raw, unfiltered, diverse and equal expression? (à la Twitter) which comes with its set of negatives. Or a place that is organized, high-quality and "trustworthy" and its own set of negatives

I personnaly prefer an organized place but that's just my opinion.

Edit: should have used Mastodon as an example instead of Twitter

It's understandable to feel that way, but imo this is about basic internet etiquette rather than censorship. If I went to .ml and wrote a few sensible comments there I would quickly get a bad rep. It's not perfect but it's a far cry from censorship as well.

it must be strange tasting your own medicine.

I'm very mixed about this one.

On one hand wtf Capgemeni profiting of fascism in the US...

On the other hand US is getting a taste of its own medicine.

The fact that people downvote this taking it seriously….

I’m downvoting because this is just wrong. They are celebrating the deaths. The Venezuela and Greenland thing however, this reaction would be accurate

FUCK the Mozilla Corporation and of course fuck their daddy Google.
