IMPORTANT!!!

Your browser (Firefox and chrome) both have ai code in it! Even using librewolf there’s still AI generated code!!!

Your operating system KERNEL allows ai generated commits! Time to switch from Linux.

I think the fact that there’s so few Linux desktop users that use Linux phones is a testament to how much friction there is.

most Linux OS don’t support mainstream phones I think for a few reasons:

• these phones were built for the vendor’s specific flavor of android, and thus already have the drivers for the proprietary hardware and everything.
• custom android ROMs are able to reuse proprietary firmware blobs from the manufacturer’s software and it will work fine with Android. On Linux however, you can’t just plug these blobs in, you’d have to rewrite everything to work with plain Linux.

it’s been the time for years, I highly doubt that it will ever happen. it’s been a lot of friction to get desktop users to switch, it’s gonna be 5x more difficult, considering mobile users are less tech-savvy and typically do things on their phone (rather than a computer which most people can get away with just a web browser).

lemmy users are a collection of high iq free thinking individuals who are extraordinarily competent.

the linux kernel is on that list, bro it’s time to switch!

open source ai is a niche but developing area. china’s leading that space right now, models like glm 5 getting close to the performance of the proprietary americaslop

you’re thinking of the unofficial Microsoft community (still a cesspool), this was the official copilot server

I actually think it looks nice. The tabs are a bit wonky though

Ok

“Versus” videos or articles in general seem to be especially susceptible to being awful garbage

Systemd haters when you use systemd instead of UltraXinitializer made in 2005 by John Init in C-- that requires you to manually write init scripts and has 894 critical severity CVEs

too bad. Mandatory Internet connection to enable the ai enhancement features, and as a bonus uses built in Infrared sensors to upload your walking habits straight to Palantir. Updates are 2gb each because what the hell are patches or deltas. Uses 24w on idle for some reason. Includes agentic ai!

good points. yeah, client side anticheats are still vulnerable and I think they’re mostly just popular out of pure laziness. Making a good server side anticheat takes a lot of thought into what is and isn’t possible so it’s easier for a company to just slap on some slop and get 80% of the way there.

in valorant’s case, their anticheat is also a great date collection software to beam every possible identifier straight to John Data or whoever it ends up with.

is this really a problem? if you don’t make a Zed account (this is for their paid services) you don’t have to agree to any TOS. The editor remains untouched.

man they dont even got everyone on windows 11 yet

AVIF is also great! if for some reason you don’t like webp because google makes it, AVIF uses AV1 which is an open codec.

it’s also much smaller. great for web graphics

i’m a proponent of server-side anticheat, but there is a few reasons games do it client side.

• server-side anticheats depend on heuristics and “checks” determining if a player is doing something “impossible”.
• one example would be checking if the player somehow has perfect accuracy on every player before even shooting, or if the player moves further than is possible in a given timespan (these are very simple examples).
• this is MUCH more difficult to make accurate, since these checks are fallible to network conditions or other hiccups.
• most online games opt for client-side anticheat since it lets the devs just “trust the client” easier. it can also detect things that would be impossible server-side, like X-ray (seeing other players through walls. this is impossible to detect server side).

ai piracy is still possible! Break into the openai servers and yoink the gpt 5.2 weights. and then publish them

Blorp absolutely does not “suck” and this user either has a problem or is just generally rude.

throughout my nearly 3 years making Photon I’ve had my fair share of hate comments, including one thread on a post, by someone encouraging people to check photon out, filled with people absolutely dunking on it.

your software is great enough to be noticed and hosted by several Lemmy and piefed instances, and you’ve got nearly 1000 or more users on a client for a super niche platform. you’ve done something right.

speaking from experience, hate comments really do dig into you even amongst a sea of positivity, but I hope you know that the opinion of 1 immature person does not matter in the grand scheme of things.

one more thing: people are much more likely to speak out when they have a problem versus when they enjoy some software. I guarantee you for every person either leaving feedback or complaining, there are 10 more silently enjoying your app.

yo you can just turn a choice into a meme and the crowd will go crazy
