  What do you think it’ll happen and what do you want to happen? Debian developers have been considering a general resolution over LLM usage within the project. After collecting a variety of proposals, voting has now commenced for Debian developers to decide how comfortable they are with AI / Large Language Model contributions in the project or not. The choices being considered for this Debian general resolution (GR) include: [ ] Choice 1: Ban LLM contributions from Debian via Social C...

  Bottles Next, the successor of the current Bottles is in development. Of course it’s a Rust rewrite. 🤦‍♂️ The project has slowed down since then considerably.

• Post #3604611

  You’re just a liberal equating “both sizes”. Like they always do. In real life, the Israeli kid already received an education that dehumanize Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, you name it. While the other kid just wants to live and there’s nothing indicating his nurturing was dehumanizing Israelis, except your half-baked and dishonest “both-sidizing”. Noboby is disputing that the Israeli kid didn’t have a choice in that matter but that doesn’t mean he has to get a pass from being throughout reedu...

  Every settler Israeli is a soldier. The other kid is a soldier in development, waiting for the right age for Military. Wouldn’t you react to a child soldier pointing a gun at you? It you think this is too much, it’s Isreal that’s actually too much. And your indifference is what enables genocides, not the reaction in defense. Liberalism is the anteroom to fascism.

  The “kids” ate Israeli propaganda since born, they see the Lebanese as inferior animals, culprit of that or not. Education in Israel produces monsters, their textbooks are fucked up.

• A Security Researcher Decompiled The White House App, & What They Found Is Pretty Alarming

  A security researcher decompiled the White House’s new official app and found some alarming stuff buried in the code, including a hidden GPS tracking pipeline, JavaScript loaded from a random GitHub account, no SSL certificate pinning, and an in-app browser that silently strips cookie consent dialogs and paywalls from every page you visit.

  Such a shitshow.

• Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?

  Changing from a distro that defaults to nano to another that defaults to vim… What to do other than installing nano and changing visudo?

• It seems Linux Mint is dropping GNU coreutils in favor of rust-coreutils following Ubuntu.

  Clem talks about that in the comments. What are some no hassle, Debain based, rustless distros as alternative to Mint?
