Just realized this is also how I feel about Element.

I work with GitLab a lot. I think it’s better for organizations than using GitHub, but my SW Engineer Spidey sense gives me death spiral vibes.

They’ve swallowed the AI Kool-Aid and are redesigning the UI to push their Chatbot on you (disabled by my org fortunately, but I still see it). They are feature creeping the fuck out of their already bloated product and are engineering features specifically to keep lots of usefull stuff behind the paid tiers, which are getting more expensive.

It’s fine for institutional use if you have sane admins, but long-term I 100% bet on Forgejo.

This gives me very good vibes. The kids are all right. Maybe not economically, probably not, but in spirit at least.

Wiss-Fik Autor: in meinem Buch habe ich den Folter-Knotenpunkt als warnendes Beispiel erfunden.

Viel besser! überhebliche Meuchelpuffer Geräusche

Das war rein mein überwältigend negatives Bias gegen neue Mozilla Features. Musste erstmal gucken was es wirklich ist…

Sieht aus wie ein holländisches DuckDuckGo. Hab ich jetz nix auszusetzen dran. Für nur eine neue Default Suchmaschine wirkt der Blogartikel deutlich überhyped.

Ist jetzt keine Kritik an StartPage, aber bis es zum Oligopol der Such-Indexe eine unabhängige Alternative gibt wird mich in der Sparte nix vom Hocker holen.

If you wonder how you can look at any of this without viscerally realizing that it’s absolute dogshit, I found the authors perpetrators conclusion very insightful.

Where we go from here

I expect these issues to all be fixed by the end of 2027.

In the same cut, the guy then materializes a hat in his hand and puts it on, replacing the hat he was already wearing.

Hang on while I look up the sed command to edit your shirt off…

Posadism 10/10 for style

Wikipedia

Posadism attempts to introduce elements of ufology into Marxist thought. Arguing that only communism can allow the development of interplanetary travel, they concluded that visiting aliens from other planets must live in highly advanced communist societies and are bound to help Earth-based communists with bringing about the world revolution.

Na toll, muss ich wohl bald wieder in die Settings und das abstellen.

I grip your shirt (choose keyboard layout) and start lifting it over your head (selecting partition scheme), but you pull back, suddenly unsure…

“B-but this isn’t one of those cringe distros, is it?”

Bin völlig bei dir. Dieser Titel hat “Gute Nachricht des Tages” Vibes für mich.

Auf sinnvolle Kritik von KI wartet man bei den deutschen Massenmedien leider vergeblich. Die großen etablierten Kanäle wiederkäuen fast nur PR der großen Unternehmen.

Explodierer Verwandte sein wie “Ach du heilige Scheiße, das kann man sich nicht entgehen lassen! Ich werde mein gesamtes Konsumverhalten danach ausrichten. Und wenn ich dafür Müll kaufen muss den ich nicht brauche, drück ich ihn einfach OP beim nächsten Besuch aufs Auge.”

Wearing this to all mandatory all-hands meetings from now on.

Liam’s here, for what it’s worth.

I almost wrote down, it sounded like it was written by a lurker on techtakes. The overlap of takes was just so damn high.

I regret to inform you, that this garbage was run by The Register a while ago.

It shouts out several friends of the sub, including @self@awful.systems, PivotToAI, OpenSlopware, Robert Kingett & Ludicity.

The point of the piece is that all anti-AI folks should just get along, and if we are to stand a chance against corporate AI we need to get over our petty grievances and reach out a hand to the racists, homophobes and crypto-bros and work together in the spirit of Open Source!
