@bodil I think so much about canonical asking people about what their ranking was in high school

@bodil What do you think is a good replacement for Ubuntu for a relatively unskilled #Linux user? I won’t tolerate #aislop.

@bodil Dito. After some bad experiences regarding "legacy hardware support", I decided that Ubuntu could not be relied upon.

@bodil AI in Linux.WTF????

@bodil What does this mean for distros built on Ubuntu like Mint? Will they have AI features too or will that be up to the distro? I am currently using Mint and I REALLY don't want to use an operating system that is going to start adding AI features. At the very least with Linux I would hope it is easy to disable at least.

@bodil to use a simpsons-ism, 'Why now? Why not years ago?' To be clear, fuck AI and all this stuff, but if you ARE going to weirdly sell out and do shitty things, why wait till the sentiment is FIRMLY against it? Like 2 years ago there was probably a window where people would have been 'okay I guess' as an optional feature. Now, fortunatley, basically everyone is on team 'HELL NO', so...just seems a baffling choice!

@bodil this could legitimately be awesome! .....but it won't. because it's canonical.... if they shipped an optional expanded version, that included small local llm (like 2b or 4b-ish sized) trained only and exclusively help you troubleshoot and script, that would be awesome! i don't need it to write me a workout routine or draw me a stupid picture, i need it to show me im a fucking idiot who expected 'ip' command to behave the same was as the 'ls' does in terms of syntax

@bodil I wasn't really thinking about Canonical, but this makes perfect sense. They've always struggled to build any community around their development (mostly because of their CLA), the name "Canonical" has always been an ironic joke, so they've never had the resources to generate code to match their ambition, but with LLM-based statistical code generation they *do*. They have a sycophantic agent to replace the community they could never have and can generate a castle of ambition built out of all the low-quality code they want.

@bodil this might finally be enough to make me finally beat the status quo and and actually reinstall my 10 year old Ubuntu install the thing has survived 3 drives, 2 laptops and multiple major version upgrades because I can't be asked to set everything up again. For context I originally installed Ubuntu 16.04 during my last couple of weeks of high school at this point I don't know everything that I've got set up so it's going to be a pain but I'm probably going to have to fucking do it

@bodil Ubuntu and its derivatives were apparently proven to send info back to Canonical. Why did I have to learn this now? I just got Kubuntu to a place where its doing what I need.

@bodil Well damn, it had been a few years since I had noticed Canonical do something obviously foolish or evil¹². I guess they were saving up for a doozy. The timing is impeccable, though. I expect OpenAI, Anthropic, etc... to be on fire by the time these features land in Ubuntu 😁 ¹ Not that they hadn't done it, but since I noticed. ² Not counting their hiring practices.
