Prolly first ever angry public toot but am so frigging INFURIATED!

Just saw a "bug report", not related to me personally anyhow.Just saw it on the internet. I will not point out at where n who n etc because it is inappropriate, so lemme just fucking burn about all such situations in general.

Currently am feeling less pacifistic n at the verge of accepting the worldview of those who suggest harmful stuff to users on reddit (will never accept it tho, users of FOSS systems must be protected if they arent arses, newbies especially must be protected).

Well, the "report" was about the program making the user "discouraged" and that because of it lagging after update they cant finish their projects in time and just a shitload of other highly disrespectful stuff. The user is on Windows.
And as much as am tolerant to Win and Mac users because I tend to pity them, I'm kinda starting to HATE.
Bitch. BITCH. Go and fucking download another version that will work for your abomination of a crippled system. Be fucking polite. You get these incredible tools and apps for fucking FREE as in free beer, YOU FUCKING GODDAMNED BITCH. SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR DISRESPECTFUL REPORTS OR GO CODE SUCH A TOOL FROM SCRATCH ON YOUR FUCKASS WINDOWS. HOPE YOU'LL SHIT YOURSELF IN THE PROCESS BEFORE WINDOWS DOES IT FOR YOU BOTH. BITCH.

Fr never felt SO goddamn infuriated by some random shite on the internet but i just fucking cant, saw this crap and somehow momentarily got angered to the utmost levels.

Starting to think that maybe just MAYBE it should be really better and nature-healing to just plain fucking boycott Windows users (and Apple adorers included) so they fuck with their shit themselves.

KI-Firmen zahlen gegen KI-Missbrauch

So gehört sich das: Ein halbes Dutzend von Firmen, die mit KI Geld machen wollen, tragen zur Finanzierung eines Projektes bei, das einen Teil der missbräuchlichen Anwendungen von KI verhindern will. Das Problem, das hier angegangen werden soll, sind falsche "Fehlerberichte", die in Wirklichkeit von KI ausgedachter Müll (AI-slop) sind. Das Projekt "Alpha-Omega" der Linux Foundation soll die FOSS Lieferkette sicherer machen. Eine jetzt zusätzliche Aufgabe des Projekts wird sein, Abwehrmaßnahmen gegen AI-slop Fehlermeldungen zu entwickeln. Folgende Big-Tech Firmen haben zusammen 12,5 Millionen US-Dollar an das Projekt gespendet: Anthropic, AWS, GitHub, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI. Mal
