Fuck Yankies

Future software is going to be written by AI, no matter how much you would like to avoid that.

My speculation is that we will see AI operating systems at some point, due to the extreme effectiveness of future AI to hack and otherwise subvert frameworks, services, libraries and even protocols.

So mutating protocols will become a thing, whereby AI will change and negotiate protocols on the fly, as a war rages between defensive AI and offensive AI. There will be shared codebase, but a clear distinction of the objective at hand.

That’s why we need more open source AI solutions and less proprietary solutions, because whoever controls the AI will be controlling the digital world - be it you or some fat cat sitting on a Smaug hill of money.

EDIT: gawdDAMN there’s a lot of naysayers. I’m not talking stable diffusion here, guys. I’m talking about automated attacks and self developing software, when computing and computer networking reaches a point of AI supremacy. This isn’t new speculation. It’s coming fo dat ass, in maybe a generation or two… or more…

Probably some fodder for the “defund the IRS” club.

Yeah? How about closing those sweatshops that pollute Chinese rivers, drinking water, that destroys soil so that plants can never grow again, where Chinese works inhale colorant and chemicals… how about that shit, CCP?

Embedded space running window ce still go brrrrrr

Damn. Falsification of documentation means you can’t run as much as a McDonald’s where I’m from.

A white hole? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the universe. A white hole returns it.

Apparently so. Submission redacted.

Red Dwarf.

There are no aliens. Everything is man-made or a result of human intervention.

Rob the place. Like constantly. Make a sport out of it.

I think castration should be viable. I mean chemical castration is a viable option for pedophiles. So why not rapists? Oh right. They’re protected for this, that and the other reason… especially the rich, so it would only end up with more poor people being castrated… and no one wants that. I mean, what do you feed the machine with? More poor babies, more disheveled and tired cogs, plz. More fuel for the engine.

Next, the breaking of the candlestick makers fingers.

How about a competency test for politicians, how bout that? Competency in emotional intelligence, reading comprehension, an ethics check, maybe even just a cursory wherewithal check, even just a reality check.

If “alternative facts” are used, reject candidate.

I am person. Person needs sustenance. High probability of sustenance in this area. Highly recommended.

This is the contentious part and also why I left Fedora.

Don’t get me wrong, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better community, better support or even a more innovative bunch. Besides RedHat’s involvement, Fedora has been in the vanguard for desktop technologies like PipeWire, Flatpaks, Wayland, heck they were one of the first to push systemd.

But my problem is that since RedHat holds sway over the Fedora leadership we cannot guarantee that the community will have the users best interests at heart.

So when people say “use a community distro”, they mean a non-captured one.

And again; Fedora is awesome, the community is awesome, been using it for years, but switched to NixOS like a month ago because I don’t trust the direction RedHat/IBM is taking Fedora.

Most likely they’ll push some of these projects to Fedora, make them maintain the projects, then some years down the line sell those projects as apart of their service.

There is a conflict of interest here and a clear opportunistic angle. RedHat wants to use the Fedora community as a free of charge testing grounds, in effect creating a userbase of free QA testers for future software.

This is predatory, it is an insult to the community, but the community is captured, and therefore will play ball with RedHat. This is the problem. If the community would give some assurances and protections, that would be nice, but so far it seems the Fedora community is more than willing to play ball with IBM/RedHat.

Seems like a lot of these “performance enhancing features” simply ignored security principles or tried to sidestep them, only for the features to introduce glaring security hole in the overall ISA, forcing people to then sidestep the supposed performance features so that it never mattered to begin with.

Are Intel, AMD and others pulling a fast one on us for the sake of gaining positive benchmarks?

You can toss Fedora in there too.

Me? NixOS. No grass for me, thanks.

The less that is said about Spanish banking, the better. But let’s just say that if you want to hide money and transactions, Spain is sort of an epicenter for that here in Europe. Like large suathes of crash? Cayman Islands. Obsfucating and fuzzing transactional data? Spain - all the way.

Also, Caixa bank is just awful.

I say we drop them off on an island and give them the Battle Royale option instead. There might a chance they’ll both kill each other, but that’s a chance I’m willing to take.
