I have still no idea why people say "go fluxer". This still has no federation, so appart from a few tricks, it’s no better than any preexistent solution. A lot of promises published at the right time earlier this year. But everyone can do that at the ai age..

    Hi there, kind of surprised that a 2026 device which offers desktop functions through a hub, comes with a usb 2.0 bandwidth through its usb-c.

    I mean this prevents using the graphical capabilities of the phone itself. The hub uses a dedicated weak igpu called displaylink.

    This is a red flag for me sadly :(. Everything else seemed pretty great.

    You can achieve wealth and happiness way faster if you rob all other countries of their resources. But if it is feasible, must it still be done ?

    Kind of the same thing with LLM. It’s not because you can that you should.

    As you said, LLM is killing OS communities. It’s preventing people from working together, now they are all "I don’t need you, I can do it my way all alone", and you get 50 clones or similar softwares, which aren’t finely tuned since it’s all LLM.

    As you didn’t say, LLM has a huge impact on the planet, it costs a lot of electricity, it uses clean water which it evaporates in data center, but we don’t care because guess what, we have it in our hands and it’s so much fun to use ! And well, we ourselves are not responsible for the planet’s state, it’s the big bad company that create LLM, I'm just using it because otherwise, the other will do so !

    What’s next ? After coding our own little games and softwares alone and ultra-quickly I mean.

    Who pays the bills ? Who will pay the next one, and where is humanity going ? Not sure I want to know.

    AI Searchers are quitting their jobs being scared of what they enabled Companies are being hacked by LLM without control People are losing their jobs because of LLM (and I think those are not the ones using LLM in the OS Community, because oh, the irony it would be)

    Society clearly isn’t ready for any of this, and saying "don’t care" doesn’t make it fine.

    Edit : this is cleary not on or against you, I'm simply expressing my frustration on this subject with arguments and examples I hope should make people realize things x)

    Diversity is important, yet dividing to much puts too much weight on everyone shoulder.

    Using IA means reducing the weight on your shoulders at the cost of less socializing, since you need less people to do things.

    Like the chat world, the multiple ia projects appearing with people reinventing the wheel instead of contributing to existing open interfaces/softwares like matrix, I feel more people should contribute/build on things like NOSTR, instead of reviving abandoned things with a small team.

    Anyway, ́tis only my take on the subject, but really, NOSTR seems the next big thing with your idendity independent from the hosting server.

    There never was. It was only a sea of different instant messenger protocols, and each had their pros and cons. So much that you had meta messengers, doing multiple protocols. Trillian for example. You had to get multiple accounts and softwares to get everyone.
