The next episode of our monthly chat + feedback thread.

No matter what topic, if you want to talk about it then just write it in a comment :)

Last month was uneventful for me, so I don't have a comment this time.

I do hope their bubble will burst, a lot of people are saying it's happening, and I hope so. But if it's happening, it might last for long. And I think Nvidia is in a bad position since the reveal of the CEO of the company has cheated on his wife with a Chinese spy.

What you mentionned, funningly enough, reminds me of Linus takes on privacy. And yet every privacy conscious people use Linux. But yeah, I'm scared of LLM ruining Linux.

Yeah I do understand your point. I don't really like to read entire logs of messages and prefer to know where to look and how to understand it.

I was saying that cause to me and most people I know, HTML is the most basic thing when it comes to programming, I've never really learned python even though it's easily understandable.

I listen to metal, often it helps to get the anger out, my sounds like a paradox but it does work for me.

    Their bubble was unsustainable from the beginning, it was doomed to fail...But it might have bigger consequences than they'd imagine. Someone might suffer worse than others in this case. NVIDIA is probably the best in terms of cash flow, a small scandal like that won't hurt them terribly, despite it being worrying. I doubt he ever invited the spy to his actual office. And if he did...Well, that would be a real problem.

    Yeah, Linux can actually be useful for those who are seeking privacy, as there are configuration options which can help protect it. While LLMs might ruin the mainline Kernel and most distros through dependencies. There are independent distros doing their best to act as a wave break! There are microkernels and other alternative kernels that can be harnessed to lessen the damaging blow that an old dude that has lost his fucking mind can do.

    HTML and CSS might be basic, but they enable the whole pretty display of the web...Simplicity can be powerful and you shouldn't sell yourself short just because of that.

    Yeah, it takes time and effort to read, to pick out the pieces, etc. It's a chore but...Eh, I just wanted to present it to you. To show I wasn't just talking out of my butt.

    I love metal for that very reason, any music that matches the negative mood I feel, it relaxes me. It's a healthy vehicle for my emotions that I cannot express, lets them be channeled out in a peaceful way that doesn't disturb anyone!

    Yeah, they were for the AI team from the beginning, of course they made a lot of money. I wouldn't be surprise if the spy went to Nvidia's office tho...

    But then, it would be dangerous as the mainline kernel might get a lot of vulnerabilities fix that might not be the case for the microkernels, unless there's something I'm missing of course.

    I don't know, I should really put my head back into HTML and finish my website before I publish it online.

    Yeah, I understand, I like to read documentation, except when I can't understand them (which happen 80% of the time). It's part of the reason on how I can't fix things myself.

    Metal and dubstep are seen as violent, so I'm used to people not recommending those styles to calm you down as it "drives people violent" (not sure about that, at least I didn't dig into it). But I do listen to rock and lofi more often than I listen to metal and dubstep.

    Yep, NVIDIA were behind it, as they saw a chance to gain capital, prestige, investment, power, etc. Tale old as time shit.

    Fixes can be applied to microkernels just as much as the mainline kernel, the difference is that not as many people would be needed to maintain a microkernel. The scale is smaller and manageable, bugs, critical issues are easier to see and diagnose. Complexity scales down in that case, the Mainline Kernel is massive and complex, makes it harder to work with which is why there are so few large kernels out there as it takes a lot of manpower to maintain them.

    Yeah, I feel like you should when you are ready to do HTML and get your website online!

    I like to read documentation too, I also sometimes understand it after giving it a few reads. Looking up unfamiliar words. I am used to implementing fixes in my distros by now (previously Windows as well, where it was harder because the Windows Registry is fucking shit). Arch is basically easy mode at this point. I encounter very few things that I cannot fix easily. But my installed software and dependencies isn't that complicated so...It is easy to manage.

    While Metal and Dubstep are seen as violent (the lyrics can sometimes be) I don't feel they are inherently. They are just charged forms of expression, passionate, which gives them an edge that most forms of music don't have. I listen to almost all forms of music outside of most rap and country. I like Orville Peck for Country, and a select few rap artists, but not many.

    I still remember when Nvidia said they were gonna stop carrying about gamers, I got scared that AMD turns into Intel, but no, they still don't have the monopole and Nvidia still continue to make gamers' GPU.

    I see, I do hope the best for every kernel. One day Linux will be the perfect kernel Linux is the perfect kernel, just need it not to turn into shit and be secured.

    I did HTML before, I just haven't practiced in two~three month, which is concerning when you want to make a website. I don't even remember what I have to finish on my website.

    For Arch it's a good thing that the wiki and documentation is complete and well explained, but when I want to fix something, sometimes I just don't want to spend 2h or 3h reading docs and trying to fix it. And sometime asking people for help is also one of the biggest loss of time I did.

    I don't listen much to rap, sometime, but not often. I probably listen more to metal than I listen to rap. And I don't listen to country at all.

    Yeah, I remember it to which is why I basically decided to say, "Screw NVIDIA!" and basically can't be bothered with them anymore. If they can easily forget what made them popular due to a temporary gold rush...They can get buggered when the gold rush dies down. AMD is...Doing AMD things, classic not taking advantage of the situation and being cool AF. Instead, they are being weird as always. But at least we have open source drivers for their hardware so I don't find it as concerning as with NVIDIA. Intel...Well, I don't know about that one, they are being weird lately too.

    Yeah, I think there is a chance for every kernel but the mainline, until the AI bubble bursts, and the technical debt gets to be so great they have to simply reset the whole damn thing to fix it. The outliers are going to be a lot healthier because they aren't being developed using AI filth, and instead people power. Carefully, at a pace that makes the most sense for the team at hand. In languages they are familiar with. There will be no perfect kernel, but there will be good to great ones based on use case.

    Hmm, well, a refresher is always in order. I tend to do have an episode that leads to accidental forgetting to do the thing. I also document my stuff well enough that I know where I actually stopped in case of a long gap in-between what I was working on does happen. Maybe a good practice so that you may recall stuff in the future.

    Yeah, Arch is pretty good about that...With more experience, that troubleshooting gap can shrink. I dunno, it is up to you on that one. I won't try to convince you of anything. LOL Asking people for help can be the greatest boon or bane depending on the group.

    Yeah, Rap is a rare genre listen for me, the poetic element is mostly tainted with topics that don't particularly communicate interesting ideas or experiences to me, these days. Country is really only Orville Peck, as he is one of the few, that I can stand to listen to. He sings about really fascinating subject matter, that transcends the normal genre barrier for me, so this curious shork listens.
