Ugh, I completely forgot to boast that my latest cleanup patch makes the kernel a tiny bit smaller again:
3 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-)
But other folks keep adding lines. 😠
We need more volunteers for #MKSA!

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space You can improve the efficiency by writing a decompressor for a custom compression scheme that uses all emojis.
Just saying.

Hm, when investors ask about percentage of AI-generated code now, how is that metric used? Higher is better, or lower is better?

@etchedpixels Bug bounties? You know nothing about business…
You set up a giant scam tool, let venture capital pay for its development, then use it to hack the world and sell all of it:
license use of the tool,hacking applications,vulnerability scanning,protection racket from affected companies.
That' how real capitalists do business.
The tool is called Claude.

@passwordsarehard4 @Reinald @jwildeboer I'm not trying to say capitalism is better than what it is. But I've seen what socialism can give and what the costs are, it doesn't work. Hell, it has all the flaws of capitalism and some more. I can compare, because I've seen both socialism and capitalism.

@Reinald @jwildeboer Yes, in theory. As someone who grew up in a centrally planned economy, I'm doubtful that the society can do much better than capitalism.

@ffmancera No idea. All I know is that packets were no longer forwarded through my default (NAT) libvirt network, and it took me way too long to find out that docker installation/startup did the equivalent of iptables -P FORWARD DROP. It was not visible anywhere in the output of nft list ruleset.
Replying to
@Amorpheus@kind.social Wait!
What do you call “consumption”? For me, it's:
potable water,potatoes, rice, flour, eggs, milk, …electricity,clothes,etc.
I don't see how these things are substituted by a book. 🤷

Replying to
@pchestek@fosstodon.org I was about to write something similar. Nobody wants to read slop, and if anybody actually does, they're not the kind of readers you'd win with factual writing anyway.

Replying to
@ljs@mastodonapp.uk LLMs may replace programmers in fact, but programming itself will never be the same. Forget about any kind of determinism, just random slop everywhere, and future generations will not even know that it needn't be…
Let's get one thing clear: If social platforms wanted to protect children from abuse, they could have done it anytime in the last decade. No new laws are necessary. If they can build a buyer's profile and link it to a real person, they must definitely know which users of theirs are very likely to buy child #porn.
We must therefore assume that it is simply more profitable to sell the information to those who can offer such products than it is to block potential buyers and report them to the authorities.

@larsmb@mastodon.online Fehlende Solidarität in IT? Nein, daran kann es nicht liegen.
Also ja, bei uns in CZ haben wir bisher nur ein bisschen über 10 % der Belegschaft gewerkschaftlich organisiert, aber Solidarität stellt niemand in Frage.

@Steve@social.coop @benlockwood@ecoevo.social The mere existence of a union lowers investor interest in the company, thus also the value of restricted stock. That's even more important than the next quarterly earnings report, because it dips straight into the top managers' pockets.

@shsbxheb @passwordsarehard4 @Reinald @jwildeboer The main reason socialism failed is that it wasn't designed to work with actual human beings, their greed and other bad qualities.
So far, I have seen no system that would work well with real people. But hey, I'm open to new ideas. Please, give me a link to your proposed solution!
Replying to
@liskin@genserver.social By now, docker has left my system and will never make a comeback. But why did nobody warn me before I broke my system?
Besides, why didn't the #opensuse docker package revert those changes to iptables at unistall time?
