  hey so like over a year ago when I raised a bunch of bright red flags over Proton’s direction, starting with the horribly insecure LLM features they pushed into Proton Mail and continuing with Yen’s support for Trump, the company doing a bitcoin wallet, their shitty chatbot, the straw poll community survey they did, the fucking obvious dark PR piece defending Yen that people kept linking, all the other weird shit around Proton on here and reddit and lemmy, the unnecessary vulnerabilities around...

  I apologize for calling the PR account for netbsd “my guy”, as I figured that was just a funny thing to say when addressing an organization. no misgendering of the person or people running the account was intended, as they haven’t introduced themselves to me and I wasn’t talking to them either way. I don’t apologize for and I quote “sending my followers to harass netbsd”, because that’s a real weird accusation for them to make in… nearly any context, but especially in the context of the posts a...

  anyone wondering what’s bad about FUTO funding netbsd and netbsd not turning down the money is welcome to explore FUTO’s YouTube channel, which platforms right-wing cranks and spreads disinformation, FUTO’s site, which is full of fascist dogwhistles and references to other fascist disinformation networks, and FUTO’s history in general this is what I mean when I tell you switching to netbsd is a fragile solution

  you know, I was hoping I already made this clear netbsd taking money from a relatively unknown fascist group doesn’t damn them. they likely didn’t know who FUTO was. most people don’t. if it runs ok on your hardware (and that’s a big “if”), netbsd is likely a more stable choice than any Linux 7.x+ kernel will ever be, and you should switch over if you can. switching to netbsd isn’t resistance. please be real. you already crawled up onto your cross and nailed your hands to an OS that was 10-2...

  “huh huh huh if you’re so unhappy with how linus is leading the kernel, you can always ask for a refund” bet. where do we send the invoices for all the labor we donated to the Linux ecosystem under a promise that’s now repeatedly been broken? the Foundation can cover it at standard consultants’ rates for commercial work. I haven’t done the accounting, but I imagine they should be able to cover at least a few million dollars worth before they have to start dipping into torvalds’ paycheck

  on the one hand, a much younger me really loved hacking on a BSD and learning internals up close on the other hand, a current day me really liked building on top of a unix-like kernel that worked on a broad modern hardware base and could run every application I wanted it to, until the slop got to it

  it’s very rude of me to interrupt torvalds while he’s in the codegooning zone like this

  so how long til torvalds posts his claude prompt in a fit of rage and we find out his big brain move was the text “do not hallucinate. do not write code with race conditions. you fucking idiot.”

  this is the one and only reason that the Linux kernel is going out of its way to hide which commits are LLM generated by abolishing the Assisted-By tag, simultaneously with torvalds fully slopcoding a core “improvement” to the kernel’s memory management if you don’t believe me, here’s part of what the diff removed from the kernel’s docs: > -When AI tools contribute to kernel development, proper attribution > -helps track the evolving role of AI in the development process. > -Contribut...

  just in case you didn’t know that “it’s only for code reviews, I don’t see the problem” is always bad faith horseshit: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linus-Torvalds-Claude-Code > Linux creator Linus Torvalds has been known to use AI to help with kernel debugging and outside of the kernel tree has also done some vibe coding with Google's Antigravity. He has previously said he views AI as a useful tool. It turns out he's even now using Claude Code for working on new Linux kernel feature...

  > “Amazon is a very AI-friendly company, to the tune of $50 billion invested in OpenAI,” Cage said Saturday during a panel on the Empire Stage at New York Comic Con. “I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club. I didn’t sign the waiver to let him use AI on ‘Spider Noir.’ I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again, but that’s okay.” > > Amazon canceled the superhero series after just one season last month, days before...

  now I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of having real reader macros in emacs lisp, I now have the finalized sublanguage quoting form (which no longer needs to be top-level or templated into another form, it’s read like any other expression), a reader literal form like the Racket one that reads a language name then uses that language’s reader to read the next expression (different and less powerful than sublanguage quoting since it can’t do syntax highlighting, but still useful for some things), an...

  I’m looking to add easy toy languages to my language workbench’s example set and on the wikipedia page for m-expressions (horrid things, but I’ll probably write a parser for them) I found “sweet” t-expressions from the 2013 Readable Lisp S-expressions Project and uhhhh https://readable.sourceforge.io/ of course they keep citing Paul Graham in this and their SRFI https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-110/srfi-110.html the curly bracket infix notation is ok! the rest really hasn’t aged well here’s the...
