@nixCraft@mastodon.social I also read that the Chinese are releasing open weight models (Kimi K3). One has to wonder if they are looking to force the big American closed models to become obsolete. It would further hit the markets I’d think.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social or having to reboot the system by pulling out power plug…

@nixCraft@mastodon.social let me ask chat AI for answer

@stux@mstdn.social I don’t mind if a site uses advertising to offset their costs. But it has been abused so badly that many sites you can’t find the content within the advertising and the tracking… it’s become a battle of what can be forced down our throats and being able to use the internet 😝 Ad blockers have become necessary

I don’t know if this could be summed up any better.

@lifewithtrees @ZenHeathen Let’s see if I can describe this. To give anything “meaning” is just an idea you’ve made up in your mind and only exists there and doesn’t actually exist in reality. To try find the meaning of life is impossible. What is meanful, to whom, universally? If you don’t find meaning does that make your life worthless? It’s a rabbit hole that is fruitless. When you stop giving meaning then you’ll know everything as is. A knowing before knowing.

@ZenHeathen @lifewithtrees no meaning, just life #zen

@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social he was always impressed how good the sugar smelled!

@synacktic@social.tchncs.de @nixCraft@mastodon.social actually I kind of glad to see archlinux doing this and hope to see bigger players follow. It’s showing the consequences of ill conceived legislation that reaches beyond protecting kids as intended. True solutions will have to hold companies accountable and that won’t happen until all other nonsense has been exhausted and everyone gets behind it. This is how it begins.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social and just as kids are easily bypassing the age verification systems people will get around this as well.

@NikTheDusky How did you do this? I want to redo all my keyboards now!

@reallylazybear@mastodon.social I don’t think the migration to BSDs are because Linux is becoming to popular. It more for its stable development and release approach. It’s very rare to see a major system changes (only with a lot of planning) or tools having to rewritten or replaced. It makes the BSDs boring but very solid. Linux distros on the other hand can, and do, change things on a whim.
