Protect your privacy and freedom. GNU/Linux lover. Let's burn everything down. I am doing networking stuff around linux kernel. No AI.

Become who you are!

Anthropic lost a class action suit for scraping books. Writers can register with Anthropic to be compensated for their pillaging of our copyrights.

The compensation system was AI-coded.

Anthropic can't keep track of our submissions. They don't know who wrote what.

Their customer support is AI-driven. Send a mail! Log in to a nonexistent page! Resubmit and it'll be fine!

This will be fine.   

So it is likely to be official unless a revert is needed. The IPv6 de-modularization series has been merged in net-next!

Merge branch 'convert-config_ipv6-to-built-in-and-remove-stubs' - kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git - Netdev Group's -next networking tree

I have a calculator that is correct 80% of the time. But don't worry, every time I use it, I check the results myself.

I guess it takes more time for me because I am not a hardware offloading expert which is relevant on the topic.

But well, I will try to learn and understand if this is a real concern or not.

I am pretty sure I am talking to an AI on netdev mailing list.

The person contributed a huge series cleaning up stuff around a wireless driver and later sent some patches to HSR/PRP driver and a review to a 1 year old patch I sent and was merged.

The replies are likely LLM generated. He spotted one minor issue but I am still discussing other stuff. I am asking questions and trying to refute their claims.. but it takes time.

we're tired of hearing "it's just a tool" because, well, a) we disagree and

b) let's pretend that we agree. okay, it's a tool: who made it? why did they make it? what is this tool good at doing? is it any better at doing it than the previous methods by which we would do this thing? why should i use it for that? can you demonstrate the tool's utility in a situation i propose? are the tradeoffs worth the benefits? can you answer *any* of these questions?

but no, people just say "it's just a tool" and it's inevitable and we just have to get used to it, no questioning allowed, no objections allowed (see also: the cries of discrimination coming from adafruit) , and the conversation stops there. weird, huh.

prague? installfest
brno? this event -- if got nothing better to do

(time? i don't know. pop by, we will be there)

Next week I am sending another patch to kernel removing more code, this time from Netfilter subsystem. But I do not think this is going to be controversial as it is a follow up of the UDP-Lite support removal.
