Been wondering what the biggest piece of shit in tech is up to since disappearing into the OpenAI offices?

If you're still on GitLab you might want to speed up planning your migration path.

The slow death of the power user.

"This isn’t an accident. This is the result of two decades of deliberate, calculated effort by the largest technology companies on earth to turn users into consumers, instruments into appliances, and technical literacy into a niche hobby for weirdos. They succeeded beyond their wildest expectations"

Someone on Reddit launched a petition to relicense ZFS from CCDL to UPL.
This would make it compatible with the GPL and makes it possible to upstream it into the Linux kernel.

There have been attempts in the past and this will likely fail too.

Anyway,

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/

> No consent dialog. No opt-out UI. Re-installs itself if the user removes it manually.

That is the true definition of malware.

If you wonder that there are almost no updates today at IzzyOnDroid: ask #GitHub. About 700 of our update checks (that is, more than half of our apps) today failed due to server errors. Same for our builds (on both builders, the US and the EU based one). Seems to get worse by the day. So if you have your stuff hosted there, make sure to have it mirrored early.

(could it be their "AI" uses all the resources, leaving none for the rest? 🤔 )

#GitHubStatus: flaky at best…

Seufz, Kollege nutzt LLM um Guidelines und Best Practice zur Diagrammerstellung zu überprüfen. Best practice ist in einem Confluence Space, Diagramm ist ein Draw.io (in unserem EAM).

40% der Findings sind false negative. Ein Finding ausgedacht.

Der Text, den die LLM dazu schreibt hat mehr Buchstaben, als das XML des Diagramms.

Auf die Frage, wie ich sowas mache: Ich benutze mein Gehirn.

Man muss Microsoft ernst nehmen. LLMs sind für das Entertainment, nicht für den produktiven Einsatz gedacht. Nur ist das Entertainment allein auf der Prompt-Seite. Die Menschen, die das Ergebnis reviewen müssen, leiden darunter.
