That’s the Lemmy version of “that guy insulted your mum”.
On a systemic level, yes. On an individual “I have a crazy big software project to lead”, no.
Analogy, a responsible parent makes their kids wear a helmet. Even though car-centric infrastructure is the real problem. The bicycle itself is not dangerous. The car is.
So, on a systemic level we should fix the root cause. We should further regulate cars and make the infrastructure less car-centric. On an individual level a kid should still wear a helmet.
Featured in this show: The kid: the kernel The parent: Torvalds The helmet: Guidance and regulations how to deal with AI The car: AI
❤️ That cheers me up!
I got mine back in 2021 in Mexico.
Good lord, for a second I thought you reversed the surgery. 😂😭
Torvalds said it’s better to find a controlled way of dealing with AI contributions than trying to fight it.
Apparently that’s considered scandalous (by people only reading headlines).
There are other questions around AI (like what the economy of it will actually look like in the end), but “is it useful” is no longer one of those questions. Anybody who doubts that clearly hasn’t actually used it.
Yes, it can also be a somewhat painful tool, both for maintainer workloads and just from a “it keeps finding embarrassing bugs” standpoint.
But the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing “La La La, I can’t hear you” at the top of your voice like some people seem to do.
The solution is to make sure those LLM tools help maintainers instead of just causing them pain. There’s no question on that side.
We’re not forcing anybody to use it, but I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it.
And no, AI isn’t perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.
Because it’s not like natural intelligence is always all that great either.
I can’t send them in the public. If you really want them, please PM me.
bruh
1·2 months agoAt first I wanted to disagree. But honestly, the more I think about it, you are right.
3·2 months agoImagine they have done this everytime someone went: “High Five!"

- Okay, let’s read a chapter of this book about Software Design.
- I need to take notes
- Ugh, it sucks that I have to do three steps to open them
- Let’s write a short fish script
- Actually is there a more elegant note taking app
- Research
- Setting up the most over engineered zettelkasten solution
- It’s time for bed, you have two broken note taking apps, but still an open to do to read a chapter of that book
If you think that is a true story, you are absolutely right.
Most women wouldn’t feel comfortable asking that to a random guy.
If you do an oopsie on your computer that you forced it to through sudo.
3·9 months agoWe will get Orion-Browser soon which is based on webkit.
However, Servo ist currently what we need to lay our hopes on. Do everything you can to contribute there. From donations over reports to code. Even if it is just spreading the word. It is currently the single most important FLOSS project out there.
It opens up anyrun.
You are overthinking 😂
