  • Would you want to publicly lead an explicitly anti Trump, essentially anti-capitalist movement right now?

  • We will ban you and ridicule you in public if you waste our time on crap reports

    Jump

  • Yeah the main developer's blog has a lot of interesting and stupid examples of reports. At least before he could laugh at the silly reports but AI seems genuine until it doesn't, by which time you realise you've entirely wasted that time. daniel.haxx.se if you're interested.

  • Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them

    Jump

  • Tldr; we shouldn't be idealistic, we should accept that LLMs stole from FOSS code, we should accept reality and instead of abandoning daddy GitHub we should ask them super nicely if they can pretty please open-source the training models trained on our stolen code.

    I don't understand how the author simultaneously holds the position "we should accept reality" and "GitHub/Microsoft will open up their models if we ask them to".

  • Exploring Dash to Dock: (Probably) The Most Downloaded GNOME Extension

    Jump

  • Only because I otherwise prefer KDE, nothing against GNOME, it's just preference.

  • Any idea why was the Dracula theme removed from Mint?

    Jump

  • I don't know about mint specifically but I saw a while ago that the Dracula theme was owned by jetbrains so open source derivatives tended to play on the name like "darcula". Could be a licensing thing.

  • Exploring Dash to Dock: (Probably) The Most Downloaded GNOME Extension

    Jump

  • I would always use KDE on a desktop/laptop, but as soon as I have touch hardware (eg an old surface laptop), GNOME does win unfortunately.

  • Why are there so many headlines in the form "Gen Z is doing...."

    Jump

  • Don't worry, we millennials had the same shit. I couldn't relate to half of the headlines and didn't know anyone who did.

  • During Helene, I Just Wanted a Plain Text Website

    Jump

  • You can but the point is that people/companies/public services generally don't.

    Are the majority Venezuelans actually happy trump just stole their president?

    Jump

  • This seems to be the European take too from what I've seen.

  • The cost of AI slop could cause a rethink that shakes the global economy in 2026

    Jump

  • I know a few people who subscribe who I never would have expected to do so, but I also know people who have started asking "why does Google show me an AI summary all the time when I don't need it?" I think any sheen it had is diminishing, slowly but surely.

  • It doesn't help that most people don't know that there isn't such a thing as "The NHS". It's just a brand that the state run health services use. As others have said, NHS Scotland and NHS Wales are entirely separate entities, who report to entirely different local governments.

  • Is Britain’s working class too weak to carry out a revolution?

    Jump

  • Starmer, at least according to polling data, is less popular than all of them because he doesn't appeal to any of them. He isn't right enough for the Tories, Reform, or centre-right labour supporters, he's not left enough for core labour voters nor left labour voters. He was too harsh on Israel for the right, and too harsh on Palestine for the left. He has pissed off every possible political ideologue and everyone in the middle is just hearing about how pissed off everyone is. He could not have spent his political capital in a worse way than he has. I don't actually think people hate him. I think it's just that noone likes him. Say what you will about Boris, Truss, Sunak, Cameron, May, they all had their detractors but they actually had allies, or people to whom they were at least trying to appeal. Starmer doesn't have anyone, and it will be his downfall.

  • How to Ruin All of Package Management

    Jump

  • TIL people actually pay attention to GitHub stars.

  • Help me understand bash syntax

    Jump

  • Your syntax is fine, but not all commands/programs accept input from the pipe, or more accurately from stdin. Looking at the man page for file (https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/file.1.html) I can't see a stdin option, so you have to pass each of the files from your head output as arguments to file.

  • Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog

    Jump

  • I thought we were unique in this but frankly everywhere in the "western" world is talking about the same things. EU has chat control, Australia has similar efforts, USA aren't pushing for privacy at all so it's not a uniquely British problem.

  • What is your development environment?

  • It's a programming community, you're programming, you're fine.
