These big websites are all AI generated now.

I don’t even see the point.

Why the hell would I want to go to your site to read the output of an AI. If I would like to do that I would go directly to ask the AI myself. It’s stupid beyond measure.

That blog post is just a bunch of insults to anyone not agreeing with the writer without actually giving any elaborate or truthful argument on why is not just a tool and it’s always inherently “evil”.

Some arguments made can be easily disproven. For instance the climate change one.

They main point of the post is that “no matter how you use LLMs”. But then the argument given here it’s highly dependant on how you use them. The amount of environmental damage of LLMs completely depends on which LLMs you use, how you use them and how often you use them. This just here it’s showing the irrationally of the blog author.

But it goes one, next point is economics. Which is also 100% dependant on HOW YOU USE IT. Not all LLM are made by big evil corporations, and there’s nothing in the technology preventing it being made by anyone.

For a blog post whose main argument is that saying “it depends how you use it” is wrong, have only give arguments that are dependant on how you use. The author makes broad ignorant assumptions about how people use LLMs, asserts that everyone uses them like that and then pretends to control everyone lives based of that. That way of thinking is highly dangerous and it’s what have given birth to a lot of evil on our world. We need to be better, more rational, more open minded. Not falling for easy politics and actually do complex political thinking that won’t give simple answers to complex questions.

Partial scaling.

X way to do it was a hack that works not so well.

For dual monitors and partial scaling wayland have been a bless.

It’s not that’s more or less efficient or more of less fast. It’s that’s been able to do things thar X was unable to and had to be practically hacked to get a clunky solution.

Why they didn’t measure a baseline of general apps and non-AI apps abandonment rate?

Without a contrast the information is useless?

For all we know the abandonment rate of general new apps might be 98% or maybe 2%, who knows they didn’t gave us that number.

As far as I know they didn’t even measure it. They only took 120 apps labeled as AI without trying to get any contrasts data. Incredibly poor methodology.

Could you provide some examples when that had happened?

I’m looking up famous projects using mit license and in any of those that had happened.

Lua, node.js, jQuery…

Even X11 which was indeed replaced by other system… Wyland, which also uses MIT license.

The logic was that with a mit license companies will provide a copy of the software infected with spyware leaving the open source project behind.

Explain why that hasn’t happened to godot.

Great projects have used MIT without any issues. Godot for instance, which may also be needed, I don’t know if games made by godot could be closed source if it would use gnu license for instance.

Corporate takeover?

Ubuntu has always belong to a corporation.

It’s not like it’s a community project. Ubuntu has always belonged to Canonical.

Xfce is the king of stability, but it comes with a limited set of features.

You could try cinnamon, thought that would meant using linux mint, as cinnamon and linux mint come in a pack.

Imagine you want to scale your desktop at 125%.

On X11 it was really hard to so so, and not very good. It basically worked by doing some strange tricks with the resolution, tanking performance and making it having numerous visual bugs, screen tearing or blurry fonts. And you often had to close and open the session for it to apply.

With wayland is possible to have fractional scaling without those issues. With crisps fonts, performant, and everything just working as expected. Also it could change easily within the session.

But wayland allowing for it doesn’t mean that all compositors have implemented it. Most still have issues. I think KDE was one of the fews that just recently anounced that they solved that problem and that you can scale the desktop without any worries.

Right now wayland implementation differs a lot in each compositor.

KDE is probably the one who is doing the better and most up to date implementation of wayland right now.

I tried it just yesterday.

Wayland support does exist in cinnamon. You can enter a wayland session and it will work. But it doesn’t bring to the table all the expected wayland improvements, like for instant perfect fractional scaling.

What distro do you use?

I found KDE to work better in some distros than others.

For instance Fedora KDE is not the best, I had it being sluggish last lime I tried it. Now I’m on Opensuse KDE and it’s flawless.

Also I have found KDE surprisingly working better than XFCE, but I think most of that has been because wayland support.

I will try, thanks!

Ah yes, another company trying to squeeze ridiculous amounts of money out of people just because “it has linux”.

If they don’t accept “just enter your age” in a website they are not going to accept “just enter your age” on a OS. They are going, sooner or later, to require Microsoft to check users ID to confirm OS account age.

I’m out of the loop with this.

From the other reply I saw something about funding a guy who is behind omarchy. What has that guy done to be considered a fascist?

After some digging, is it the hyprland guy, and the drama surrounding it?

There are three options naming open source projects:

• Open/Libre something.
• This is not This acronym
• Kinky sounding acronym

They (politicians) are obsessed with control.
