@warandpeas In the future, we're going to refer to this stuff as "organic content" and you're going to pay a lot more for it.

@warandpeas "Cmon! 600 Token. All genuine. All good stuff. Look at this! All handwritten on paper, with a pencil! Man! A fricking Pencil!"

@warandpeas weird movies come to mind...

@warandpeas The #AIpocalypse is coming

@warandpeas
YouTube has figured out that I'm not interested in all that AI crap and now only recommends videos that are more than four years old.
I love this AI! ❤️
EDIT: Translated using Deepl AI.

@warandpeas

Shouldn't it be AIpocalypse?

@warandpeas
This was really a war and I thank mastodon to strictl ai traces

@warandpeas Based. This makes me think of a song that I love dearly: "Those left standing will make millions,
Writing books on the way it should have been"

"Warning" by Incubus on their album "Morning View"

also:
"Floating in this cosmic Jacuzzi,
We are like frogs oblivious,
to the water,
starting to boil,
No one flinches, we all float face down"

Thank you for the wonderful art!

@warandpeas "You own it." "No subscription"

@warandpeas Yeah, but the trouble with street books is the dealers are cutting that shit with AI slop.

@warandpeas

I suspect we'll be back to storytelling around the fire for a while, too

@warandpeas #Fediverse 😀

@warandpeas It's already happening. A lot of people are advertising their stuff as "made by a real human" or "no AI".

@GossiTheDog WTF. Covertly uploading actual screenshots from systems it's installed on?

This Vibing one is a fun blog btw as every page it gets to be a bigger version of this

@GossiTheDog

Seriously don't know what to make of this. Rogue employees, sailing under the Microsoft flag? Fake employees?

The app itself is terrifying and stupid. I can easily imagine naïve users interested in AI installing this thing and forgetting about it.

@GossiTheDog oh, it's pretty goddamn obvious exactly how this one happened.

See also: GitHub's official applications abruptly sprouting similar levels of spyware and calling it 'telemetry.'

@GossiTheDog I just reported it through Microsoft Store links. Let's see if anything comes out of it.

@GossiTheDog There is no oversight at the company.

@GossiTheDog cc @shanselman

@GossiTheDog for what it’s worth, the package family name of this thing is YaoyaoChang.Vibing_ssp53fcyfr9ha - in my opinion it doesn’t seem to look like anything “official”, but rather an employee releasing it on their own partner center account?

@GossiTheDog Now that Microsoft has a 24/7 OpenClaw team in Oslo, I expect a lot more vibe artifacts appearing from within their network...

@GossiTheDog 😱

@neil where can I get one I absolutely need it

@neil I love this!! Where did you find it?

@neil oooh I love that t-shirt.

@neil where can I get one???

@neil “steal”

Alt...

You wouldn’t read a website

@neil tl;dr needs LLM summary

@neil want

@neil
tl;dr

@neil Got the same one! 👊

@neil - HOw true.

@neil I absolutely would if my immunity was guaranteed.

@neil I predict this will be as successful as the original anti-piracy campaign it's based from

@neil

They have been doing it with money for centuries.

@neil Oh yes they would

@neil Where can I buy these?

@neil Fucking Genuis!!!

@neil Looking forward to Muskrat and Sam Altman wearing the T-shirt.

@neil love it

@neil Proprietary and child-killing...

@nixCraft Love Linux, works well on older hardware, not a resource hog like windows...

@nixCraft This website is such an excellent rebuttal to the nonsensical parameters of the Californian law. Funny read!

@nixCraft love this, but the website is very US-centric. This age verification madness is sweeping the whole world.

@nixCraft
It's Unix - of course **EVERYONE** was born on 1970-01-01 !
@agturcz

@nixCraft Here's the #Debian #SystemDCensorD proposal, using D-Bus - "On installation, the user will be required to enter their location. ... This location and user data will be managed by a new daemon, systemd-censord, ... For example, ... a unit for China will implement keyword scans ... debian will need to switch to being a binary-only distribution ... with ... controls to prevent any non-signed software from being installed , written, or compiled, ..."

@nixCraft is this a joke? or i don't get it. when it requires first the download or e.g. debian, but debian itself requires the age check on install, how can ageless linux work, when you have to run the conversion script after the debian installation?

@nixCraft ok that finished to change my mind. Thanks.

@nixCraft I love this solution, but what are the plans for hardware providers? I feel like companies that offer Linux pre-installed will be the ones on the hook for ensuring the age verification is there. Will there be California editions that come with no OS?

@nixCraft linux can’t fundamentally do age verification because how it’s built into the system to be local by default and even if something was made you could literally strip it out of the source code so even if a company like Ubuntu added it into something a dev team like Linux Mint would remove that crap anyway.

The law makers really are showing their age being out of touch with technology like my mother and grandmother.

@nixCraft
Where I can catch up on the context?

Interesting to see how many people are born on 1970-01-01.

@nixCraft

@nixCraft @rogue_cells This is fantastic

@nixCraft

Or comply in the worst way.

aged. Age daemon.

Reads ~/config/age.conf for self-set date of birth.

Thats it.

@ncopa which kind of resources, build infrastructure or manpower?

@ncopa Debian dropped armv6 support. So there is not much left.

Is Alpine still using 32bit time_t?

@ncopa In the embedded/industrial space I'm still seeing a surprising amount of ARM9 and expect those to go on quite a while, but that'd be v5, so even older. v7 seems like a more sensible target for Alpine 32bit support than trying to keep that /and/ v6 on life support together.

@ncopa keep arm v7 its raspi 3

@ncopa I have AlpineLinux on an RPi 1 running pi-hole (head-less). More efficient and such a nice experience compared to RaspberryOS.

@ncopa i wonder how apk would react if an edge system were to upgrade an upstream had no packages for it. i say that because i upgraded my pi0w 1.1 to edge because i was trying to get mdns to work and i read that avahi2dns and unbound worked.

@ncopa Removing armv7 would have major impact on postmarketOS as we still have many people actively working on devices with such CPUs. On the contrary armhf is pretty much dead.
