@reiddragon I’m pretty sure the “Thanks for reading, and I hope we can work together to help Linux
implement as much censorship as possible!” is a sarcasm indicator.

@brooke I really, really hate speedy deletion nominations of the selfies I convinced new hires to upload for [[Contact page]]. Like really hate.

GitHub Copilot litigation.

This suit started in 2022 but seems to still be slogging along: By training their AI systems on public GitHub repositories (though based on their public statements, possibly much more) we contend that the defendants have...

@theresnotime This newest one I have has a really low bumper that seems to help keep it from eating cords. I only send it to my office once a week too to minimize unwanted entanglement opportunities.

@theresnotime I discovered the value of robot vacuums during lockdown when the nice humans I pay to clean up my messes wouldn’t come to visit. First world problems, but my house is too big and my dog is too proficient at shedding to go back to only getting a professional floor cleaning every other week.

Trying to get a vacuum to rejoin an open WiFi network. Hold 2 buttons for 5 seconds; not 10 or it will factory reset! Phone app does a Bluetooth scan for devices. Retry scan. Retry scan. Toggle Bluetooth on phone. Toggle WiFi on phone. 5 seconds on buttons again. Device found! Scanning for WiFi x3. No networks found. Manually enter SSID. Attach failed. Buttons, scanning, wifi scanning, network found, network joined. 20 minutes of life gone. How do normal humans survive this?

Meaning: We stole all your knowledge , writing, and art, and now we’re gonna put a meter on it and sell it back to you. You’re welcome.”

I’d like to have as many folks vote on this as possible, given the nature of the topic (i.e., copyright). If you keep in touch with any “old timers,” let them know I’d love to have their approval. Spread the word!

"but, what does 'LLM code' means??? and how would we police it???"

it... ain't that hard fam, we're not trying to solve the philosophical conundrum of sentience

occam's razor applies, the simplest explanation, it's "code that was generated by a large language model" and if that's not clear enough then nothing is, and words are meaningless

how do you police it? well how do you police people sending plagiarized code? do the same for LLM code, if the project policy says no LLM code, assume people to respected that unless proven otherwise

i'm so tired of this argument that basically just tries to derail from the actual topic
