There should be real hotkey editing in the settings or it should respect the OS hotkey settings. As of now the only way to toggle this is by diving into about config and finding the flag.

re: unixstickers. they got bought by stickermule part and parcel afaik. Their site now redirects to sm. A lot of people won’t be happy supporting that business. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rebekahbastian/2024/07/19/how-a-ceos-political-stance-impacts-workplace-inclusion-and-customer-trust/

Ay Yew Arr

…but if they renamed it Arch Interactive User Repository or Arch Internet User Repository, I have no problem switching to pronouncing it “eye-urr”

fedora’s declaration that they’re officially okay with including “ai” generated code in the project has me shopping around for a new distro. CachyOS seems like it’s really soliid choice these days.

Counterpoint… there is no real enforcement beyond the honor system… so it changes very little other than expressly condoning the activity.

Well that’s what “condone” means fwiw.

I see it the same as how steam does the same thing with requiring disclosure of ai use on store pages now. And I treat it the same way if I see it I make a consumer choice to not support the game.

What disturbed me was reading the minutes of the meeting that people seemed genuinely excited to include gen ai code. To me that speaks to an ethos that is highly divergent from what I would like to see and what should be happening. It doesn’t feel like it’s “welp I guess we gotta let people do it” and more “oh boy we can finally use it”. And with all the companies that make llm how long before some back door evil nonsense sneaks in. To say I’m dubious would be an understatement. 🤷

Well sure… the point of a warning label on the side of a product is to allow you to make informed choices if you want to use that product. A warning label saying “we’re condoning the use of unethical practices” allows me to decide I would rather seek a different product.

Doesn’t mean I have to support the ones that actively encourage it.

I guess it’s time for some of the projects to start putting little stickers that say “hand crafted code” on them explicitly.

Unfortunate. Announcing this when everyone is migrating from windows… a lot of which is because of the AI bullshit in it… seems like throwing the stick in the spokes move.

I guess it’s time to go shopping for a new distro :(

First was technically knoppix because it had a live boot cd function. That didn’t go well. There was some kind of bug where it murdered the bios on my pentium2 and I was unable to recover the system, bricking the computer.

First time I was able to fully install and use was ubuntu warthog… So that’s what… 4.10? I think so.
