i want to go back to when “Linux drama” was torvalds calling someone a tosspot for submitting bad code

it’s not snake oil, but it’s like buying horribly expensive infused oils

just fucking put a sprig of rosemary in a bottle of oil, it’s not that difficult to do it yourself and it will be hilariously cheaper

a minority of the population voted for trump though, it’s not like 50+% of the total population voted for him, it’s 50+% of the voters, a lot of people just didn’t vote.

sure a model could theoretically be open source, but in this case that source would be 1) the software to train the model and 2) the training data, and good fucking luck getting either of those honestly.

the AI sphere has co-opted the term “open source” because it sounds nice, what they actually mean is just “a free copy”, a free copy of deepseek is available for download.

They seem to be able to fiddle a lot with the models, but in the end calling it open source is just blatantly not fucking true.

i gotta be real, i don’t get the hype people go on about with RSS, it’s like being hyped about DNS

it is good, it’s just a bit of a power user program. It’s my daily driver since i actually want all that information, organic maps just looks like a child’s toy to me.

the whole thing about it using OSM data is that you can just fix that, spend a week surveying and you have the most high-detail navigation available.

does he? i was under the impression that linus considers it just as stupid as everybody else and its existence is somewhat unsettlingly like a separate organism that lives in our collective brain activity…

Only problem i have with lemmy is that after scrolling for a bit i end up wading through posts with 0 comments and 2 upvotes, which are inevitably just links to something i do not give a singular toss about.

But that’s honestly kinda just good, it forces me to not just stare at my computer nonstop.

It’s perfectly adequate, i tolerate it.
