The customers are already locked in by virtue of every company who is hoping to run the same rent seeking play around AI are buying up all of the compute and storage hardware on the planet which prices consumers out of everything except the soon-to-be-overpriced subscription service(s) that they offer.
I didn’t find it in the alt-text so what did the imaginary developer of this imaginary install script running in the imaginary terminal of this web comic intend that makes entry of text into this prompt a difficult decision?
We’re all eating from the same trough full of the same swine droppings, that sickness is everywhere. Take care of your people first neighbor, just remember that you have friends everywhere.
Look to the midterms to see how Hungary we are and I’ll, hopefully, see you at the BBQ.
You could still pull ahead by Friday!
I remember reading another article that said that their incinerated sewage waste had more gold per ton than their highest yielding mines.

You only need programs if you’re unhappy with the current state of your life. Delete computer, become enlightened.
That may be what you were talking about, but you replied to me and I was not having a conversation about Linux.
I know, I asked myself.
Researchers: “Not my department”
I’m not talking about Linux.
The context of my reply is about LLM generated code and the downstream use of it in a product.
See:
LLMs themselves being products of copyright isnt the legal question at issue, it’s the downstream use of that product.
Assuming that the code is 100% LLM generated and uncopyrightable does not affect the ability to enforce license restrictions created via End User Licensing on downstream uses of that product.
A piece of software that is unable to be copyrighted due to being 100% generated can be licensed and can expect to have that license enforced via contract law.
Well, that isn’t the case now and isn’t likely to be the case anytime in the near future.
The rules are not written in stone and future Linus will have a better idea of the capabilities of future AI and can change the rules accordingly, as he has done since the beginning, in order to steer the Linux project in the right direction.
Welcome Linux newbie :)
There can be secrets in .config and so you need to be deliberate about what you commit while also ensuring that your .gitignore file is properly filled out to exclude the files which would have secrets that you don’t want to be portable. This requires a bit of work and you will, in the process, learn about how every single application that you use stores its config. You typically don’t want to just git add ., though this is a lazy/simple option and can be acceptable if you keep your files and backups secured.
This kind of configuration will also encourage you to not just hit the ‘install plasma-apps metapackage’ button and be more deliberate about the software that you install as you will need to individually address the .config files for each application in your settings repo.
I’d recommend against using Github. First, remember that “the cloud” is just “someone else’s computer”. Trusting anybody (esp. Microsoft) with critical data is a bad idea. So, sync to a location where you create your good, secure primary backups. The kind you put on a disk in a safe deposit box.
This is undoubtedly more work than simply re-configuring everything when you fresh install. The payoff is that your system’s configuration will be portable and as consistent as possible across all environments and you can safely try new configurations with the trust that you can use git to revert any changes in case you don’t like them/it breaks something.
If you want to do even more work you can maintain a separate set of dotfiles for your desktop machines and the machines where you only interact via terminal. Things like tmux config/plugins, bash/zshrc files, useful scripts and the contents of .local/bin (which is where your user’s executable scripts primarily reside) so you can ensure that your remote environments are consistent and equably capable.
For more reading/search/youtubing on the topic, these kinds of repos are commonly referred to as ‘dotfiles’ or ‘dots’. You will often find people who customize applications that share their dots (more common in the ricing community). Some projects are essentially glorified dotfiles (NVChad for nvim, for example).
Additionally, if you have more complicated setups that need to drop files into system directories or just in multiple unrelated directories, you can add GNU Stow which basically lets you store all of your dotfiles, binaries, system configurations, etc in a single directory (which you make a git repo) and you configure GNU Stow with the locations where these files need to live and it puts the files there, via symlink with a single command. Stow is an added level of complexity, likely more than most people need, but if you interact with a lot of new machines and need a quick way to configure them all in as much depth as possible… this is one of the ways you can do it.
I’d hold off on the red hat for a little while given the state of things.
Tier 1 support exists to encourage you to finish your education so you can get a job that lets you create problems for Tier 1 support.
I’m not lazy I’m, uhh, mitigating supply chain attacks.
It doesn’t have to be open source.
If someone 100% generates code to make software then the software isn’t protected by copyright.
That software could be distributed and licensed under an EULA and the fact that it isn’t protected by copyright means absolutely nothing as far as the EULA is concerned.
The copyright status and the ability to license a piece of software under contract law do not depend on one another.
Reading mode works for those annoying/ad filled articles.
It’s ctrl + alt + r on firefox clones, there should also be an icon on the right side of the address bar which looks like a book. That will also toggle it on and off.
Makes it look like this:
