Yeah the main developer's blog has a lot of interesting and stupid examples of reports. At least before he could laugh at the silly reports but AI seems genuine until it doesn't, by which time you realise you've entirely wasted that time. daniel.haxx.se if you're interested.

Tldr; we shouldn't be idealistic, we should accept that LLMs stole from FOSS code, we should accept reality and instead of abandoning daddy GitHub we should ask them super nicely if they can pretty please open-source the training models trained on our stolen code.

I don't understand how the author simultaneously holds the position "we should accept reality" and "GitHub/Microsoft will open up their models if we ask them to".

Only because I otherwise prefer KDE, nothing against GNOME, it's just preference.

I don't know about mint specifically but I saw a while ago that the Dracula theme was owned by jetbrains so open source derivatives tended to play on the name like "darcula". Could be a licensing thing.

I would always use KDE on a desktop/laptop, but as soon as I have touch hardware (eg an old surface laptop), GNOME does win unfortunately.

Don't worry, we millennials had the same shit. I couldn't relate to half of the headlines and didn't know anyone who did.

You can but the point is that people/companies/public services generally don't.

I know a few people who subscribe who I never would have expected to do so, but I also know people who have started asking "why does Google show me an AI summary all the time when I don't need it?" I think any sheen it had is diminishing, slowly but surely.

Starmer, at least according to polling data, is less popular than all of them because he doesn't appeal to any of them. He isn't right enough for the Tories, Reform, or centre-right labour supporters, he's not left enough for core labour voters nor left labour voters. He was too harsh on Israel for the right, and too harsh on Palestine for the left. He has pissed off every possible political ideologue and everyone in the middle is just hearing about how pissed off everyone is. He could not have spent his political capital in a worse way than he has. I don't actually think people hate him. I think it's just that noone likes him. Say what you will about Boris, Truss, Sunak, Cameron, May, they all had their detractors but they actually had allies, or people to whom they were at least trying to appeal. Starmer doesn't have anyone, and it will be his downfall.

TIL people actually pay attention to GitHub stars.

Your syntax is fine, but not all commands/programs accept input from the pipe, or more accurately from stdin. Looking at the man page for file (https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/file.1.html) I can't see a stdin option, so you have to pass each of the files from your head output as arguments to file.

What's all this egg doing on my face?
