@mdhughes just make sure not to interrupt it when copying your settings at first boot, or else you'll find yourself with the catch 22 or "connect to wifi or network cable" on a machine that stops recognizing wifi and also has no ethernet port.

“due to bad experiences, I don’t work with scammers. I don’t want scammers to contact me.”

“but how do you know they’re scammers? what if the scammer does good work?”

every #foss discussion right now.

@hk The thing with Big Tech is that it usually isn't. I think tech enthusiast as a term can safely preclude that. I am also fine with "geeks" or "whales" being a term reserved for big tech over-consumers.

@alex i discovered this while I learned that vim-plug, my preferred package manager for neovim, is now sponsored by an AI terminal.
Been really enjoying this terminal called foot.

It's replaced alacritty for me, and has working blurred transparency with tmux and neovim.

I know AI plugins and plugin managers are still considered in vogue for #neovim, but have any #plugin makers or managers taken a stance against AI?

After trying LazyVim I wanted to get away from some aspects of it, and JuneGunn's vim-plug (which I used to use all the time) appears to be sponsored by an AI terminal. I may try packer, but any other plugin managers I should look at?

@briankrebs as a certified hater, one thing i will give apple is their insistence on quality. Even preferring to leave out quality of life features rather than implement a half baked one.

And if there's a term for the present state of GenAI, it is "half-baked"

@vurrsys i'm pretty sure part of that is the DMCA.
@Darkasvim there is definitely some audience overlap, but it's more because of the philosophical similarities than the legal or technical ones.
