you guys are using photoshop to make memes?

I always do this the shittiest way possible to show how low effort the shitpost is.

Usually that’s a screenshot of a meme generator (so it doesn’t include watermark) or some poorly pasted impact text added on my phone.

This would have made the photoshoot even more interesting than it probably was.

Hey! They spent almost 30 minutes in Krita merging the shirt into the leg.

Wild if true, it’s certainly a provocative photo! Especially for milk lovers :)

Mostly correct. IIRC, it was from some influencers' photoshoot, and originally it doesn't look anywhere near as spicy as the memes may imply. Someone did some research a while back, and it's pretty tame.

There is some intensity going on in that gaze…wonder if she is a fan of copilot lol

There is the old adage “Nobody got fired for going with Microsoft”, and it is real.

If you, as an IT guy recommend Linux, and some exec has a problem with his laptop (which they would have had no matter what OS is running on it) it WILL be your fault because you changed something.

I wish I could, but I don't have the admin rights necessary to activate it.

Fortunately we're a reasonably small firm, so I may be able to make an argument for it. And in the meantime, I have a dashboard server running Debian onto which I have also installed a bunch of useful tools that I can either get to with my browser, or SSH into.

Yep. Most of the past couple of months have been spent poking and prodding at the boundaries to see what I can get away with, and I can install a bunch of stuff via winget.

I've even taught myself how to jump to my server at home using SSH via my VPS so I can access stuff even without being allowed Tailscale.

In a way it's quite fun. A small way.

Bold of you to assume they have any certs.

Of the two of them, one used to work for IBM, but that was some years ago, so his up to date knowledge is barebones at best. His world is Windows. Give him XP or 7 and he'd be well away I imagine. The other lad is mostly about the infrastructure and networking, but again, has only ever used Windows. So that's their comfort zone. And then there's the boss's son who administrates things remotely, rarely answers any emails in a satisfactory way, and refuses to give admin access away, even to the other two.

To be fair, the computer policies here were non existent until a few months ago, when landing a huge contract meant having to actually comply with cybersecurity requirements. So until that point I used first my old Mac mini, because I was more at home with macOS than Windows, then a tiny Dell Optiplex that I put Kubuntu on. No one gave a shit and that suited me just fine. In fact, I was given to understand that I'd be left alone when all the new PCs with Win11 were rolled out, largely because, until that point, mine was the only one running actual up-to-date software, while everyone else was on Win10.

But here we now are. And so it goes.

Stay strong.

If it craps out your install, you'll get to test your backup solution?

"Yeah, the iPhone has a manufacturer backdoor, but it's really secure!"

Well damn then.

Wait, you mean this isn't from actual porn?

sighs and zips up fucking unbelievable...

Linus Torvalds confirmed LLM use for new code is fine: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/07/linus-torvalds-to-critics-of-ai-coding-in-linux-fork-it-or-just-walk-away/ So I doubt it's just human work.

The KDE thing was a specific person declaring that they would hold a meeting about Gen AI in KDE, who hasn't contributed to the project in years otherwise. Nobody is going to convince everyone to compile their own vibecoded version of KDE's projects.

EDIT: See https://discuss.kde.org/t/sorry-to-bring-up-a-contentious-topic-kde-ai-llm-policy/46333/187. The developers seem to be responding in an acceptable manner, although I only looked at the start and end since it's quite a long discussion.

THe kernel seems to be full steam ahead slop: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/07/linus-torvalds-to-critics-of-ai-coding-in-linux-fork-it-or-just-walk-away/ (Apart from the kernel subsystems were LLM use was banned, I think I heard something like that about something graphics related but I might be misremembering.)

If you don't believe it, check here: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/generative-ai Or can you see any ban on LLM code in there? Feel free to point me to it.

Huh. I was thinking r.34 🤔
