With #ai agents executing #cyberattacks unknowingly to it owner, I wonder how #governments will fair when regular users start asking help from #aiagents for help on their taxes?

@danimrich@mastodon.social @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net While I agree with you, I see why they won't. Unique features are the lifeblood of products like Bose and Sonos. Open-sourcing the features as it comes out is handing lots of R&D to their competitors.
Personally, once a product is EoLed and has external dependencies, companies should be required by law to release API specs so the devices can be maintained.

@grueproof@from.asolitarycabin.org @chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com Take a look at https://open-vsx.org/ for codium plugins. See if they fit your needs.

@RTP@fosstodon.org I LOVE #hexchat. It was my goto #IRC client for years. The maintainer abandoned it in Feb of 2024. See - https://hexchat.github.io/news/2.16.2.html
I jumped to #TheLounge because it behaves well on mobile and desktop and maintains connection when I'm not actually using it because I selfhost it 24x7.

@moelassus@mastodon.social I have done the migration when I moved from #pfsense to #opnsense . It was pretty easy. I work often in #json so converting custom config options wasn't an issue.
The biggest annoyance I find is there is no way to expire a single current lease without restarting kea dhcp daemon via the GUI.

@fasterandworse@hci.social The difference is AI will NEVER create a new IDEA. It will just reguitate previous ideas in new configurations.

@RTP@fosstodon.org Don't use #HexChat #XChat or #BitchX. They haven't been developed in years, possibly decades. They are prone to application and security issues. I'm not saying don't use #IRC. Just don't use those clients. Since I #selfhost , I use #TheLounge for my #IRCClient.

@kdkorte@fosstodon.org @Seldon@fosstodon.org Same happened between 3.11 and 95, windows 9x and XP with the start menu and control panel rewrite, Vista with the login and UAC and start menu.

@Seldon@fosstodon.org @kdkorte@fosstodon.org I agree. User acceptance/training is the toughest part of an #operatingsystems change. Not just from #windows to #linux but even between major windows versions. When I was primarily a windows user, whenever a new version came out, I'd switch to the legacy UI just so I didn't have to relearn how to do things I already knew how to do. The same applies in a windows-to-linux migration. Never made any sense to me to change the UI without some obvious gain.

@prokoudine @Le_bottin_des_jeux_linux @GIMP If it still works, why update the code. Obviously #gimp 3.0 was going to break the plugin, so the dev released a needed update.

Proud of my 13yro son. Used #imagemagick on the #cli because it was easier than opening up something like #gimp.
