It’s kinda sad. I felt the maintainers feeling of being overwhelmed and underappreciated, but that whole discussion in the issue and the later statement to just hide AI use was such a phenomenal PR debacle he’ll probably never get rid of.

Lutris was pretty good…

She literally only looks sideways.

Excellent question. On the other hand, as a trans woman, I can absolutely confirm strangers to apparently constantly thinking about other people’s genitals. They seem very interested in all the details of someone elses sex life, yet never want to fuck. Disappointing.

I still know it as Layer 8 issue.

The funniest thing about this is that it needs a single Bash script and a cronjob to solve (unless they got a REALLY bad hoster).

That bash script probably exists a bazillion times already… so even an LLM could spit it out for them.

Their organisational structure must be abhorrent for nobody to feel even remotely responsible for this.

Sounds like quitter talk to me. It’s not like AI is an evolutionary process that just happens somewhere, it’s a localized tool - and even if it spreads itself, that would be by far the most humonguous virus ever. I think those authors just write down their own fears.

Mmh… but this concept only fully works on Open-Source hardware, doesn’t it? Otherwise the microcode or CPU itself could still be an attack vector to infect the bootstrapped compiler?

(Genuinely curious, I have no clue)

With sufficient (usually stolen) training data they could probably do it to a state where it’s kinda usable in an assistive manner.

Though since these LLMs often struggle with anything that doesn’t exist in truly abhorrent abundance in its training data as well as the actual engineering part (i.e. structuring the code sensibly and consistently, which I’d wager is crutially important with Assembly to not end up with spaghetti) trying to have it generate something from scratch would probably end up in a huge mess.

The ending is rather unsatisfactory.

Good thing that whole Chat (and therefore the screenshot) was literally vetted and used by a CCC member for a talk at the Hackover 2026 in Germany, a small but well-established hacker event. So I’m kind of sure your subtle insinuation that I might’ve just prompted it badly is bogus. 😘

Either way, nobody owes you or anyone else proof unless they specifically aim to convince other people. If you feel the social media posts of other people “delegitimizes your stance” that’s on you.

Your reply reads like a major car crash.

It was Mistral AI (most likely their mistral-large model, whatever was live for logged-in users about 4 months ago), see picture. Given enough inconclusive context, a sufficiently niche problem and/or a persistent user request they’ll all generate dangerous nonsense or make shit up. ChatGPT isn’t any better, just more willing to answer something positive even if it ends up being wrong.

It’s genuinely sad the information landscape for Linux is so bad due to time and lack of documentation (all hail the Arch Linux wiki), big LLMs got a higher hitrate.

Unfortunately if they miss they might tell you to dd your disk as a speedtest.

And those scumbag politicians don’t even try to hide it. Here in Germany the conservative rulers and their minions recently demanded for “doctor’s notice on first day” paired with a ban on notices through phone or video. They did so right after talking about how we “need to work more to secure ‘our’ wealth”. It’s so blatant it hurts.

Of course literally everyone hated that except companies led by soulless, mindless career managers who treat humans as mere annoying resources. And of course right-wingers who don’t care for humans anyway.

And then there are people who simply can’t comprehend if someone does not want to be in a picture. And then people who wouldn’t stop trying get pissy if you point out that you have a right to your own picture by law (in Germany, that is) and that I demand them to stop trying to photograph me.

The idea of being forgotten gives me solice.

Wouldn’t say that. OpenSuse Tumbleweed might got some tech debt with their backend and doesn’t come with fancy stuff such as Kernel modifications like Cachy, but their rolling distro is rock solid. And for the few cases where something really breaks the bootable btrfs Snapshots come by default.

It still is for Intermediate users for sure (the installer expects you to know what you want - yet is a GUI). But in terms of stability they really nailed it, I’d absolutely use it for work horses that require newest software. Or Leap if I require binary compatibility to SLED/SLES.

It’s impossible to prevent that given Corposcum doesn’t give a shit about anything actually worth living for or with and the majority of people who’re being flooded with this garbage are being sucked into it, but these AI-free places are phenomenally important to retain our (online) culture and human online spaces. Without them the internet becomes useless, an amalgamation of pointless, worthless junk.

It’s causing an enormous social and cultural debt we’ll have to deal with in the future, as society will truly realise the (pop-)cultural void that has been created. Both the few real spaces that survived as well as archived media that was secured and preserved despite the companies doing their best to prevent it will be more important than ever.

That or the open web collapses and we’re all hanging around in Messenger groups with some “Is a real human” vetting process, which is a real possibility even if the AI bubble pops.

Is this whole text LLM generated and you just copy-pasted everything including the (now unlinked) citations and the orders the machine added to the text without double-checking?

Quick mention about Chatbots: In general they can be useful if you already have a grasp on something, so you can detect potential nonsense better. Additionally they can act like a drug especially on lonely people, and any company tries to sell them to you as awesome code generators. Yet Mistral AI already generated an answer to me telling me to dd my encrypted root hard drive for a speed test, even doubling down on it being safe.

Not saying they can’t be useful for OP. Just that they’re like a handheld circular saw*, a powertool better only used by people who already know sufficient basics about wood.

*where the salesman got rid of the safety handle and tells you to “just let it go on its own”.

I’m simply not seeing the benefit over a well maintained degoogled Android ROM such as Graphene or /e/OS. The amount of work I have to out in to relearn stuff is next to none, support is higher and you know hardware support lasts long (thinking of e.g. the Murena Fairphone 6). Sailfish looks like just another corporation with partially closed Source and bumpy track record, and with hardware such as Fairphone (and many other phones) you at least got some digital mobility to move to something else if your distribution of choice goes down the drain.

I get that having a third option is always better even if all three are questionable, but I don’t see that in Sailfish either.
