Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
somehow missed this previously, but: Redhat Chatbot Linux!
the “LAB methodology”. I wonder if someone broke out the rack and thumbscrews to get a name that tortured
given what I’ve seen people do to ubuntu-based machines to make their kerases and tensorflows run, combined with redhat’s historical trend of extremely bullshit repo pains, I have to wonder what nightmare experience this will result in
Oh great I mentioned in another context that Linux would be the only LLM-free zone and someone with RH connections just laughed pityingly at me.
don’t worry, there’s no way it’ll end up in a distro anyone would willingly use
unless they make it a mandatory component of systemd alongside the other shit they’ve put in there
systemd is a microsoft product now, so
What??
(As in, could you kindly elaborate?)
lennart poettering works for microsoft
Oh, alright. The original creator works for Microsoft (presumably on Linux related things?), but systemd itself is still OSS
I asked a RH friend about this and they told me that they just had a breathless all hands about it.
