The real world use-cases are not what techbro CEOs promised? Who would have thought?

The ”quality” of current gen LLMs limits their usage to secondary tasks like pure code generation, documentation or testing. It’s impactful but nowhere near the point where you start replacing your engineers with it.

Harness it for very specific tasks and maybe you can gain productivity increases but for anything else its going to cost a lot and still need constant handholding

Pro: It does what I need an OS to do. Mostly, I need it to manage my hardware devices and staying out of my way.
Con: It’s a pain in the ass when it occasionally decides to stop managing my hardware devices and gets in my way.

What do I miss from Windows: Nothing. I’ve been using Linux since 1997. Back then Win95 was absolute shitshow. Idk what it is now. I don’t much care.

I don’t. I’ve been running Debian since 1997.
From what I read on the Internets, lot of gamers seem to like Bazzite.

Just try it out for a bit. If you don’t like it, switch back. That’s it. It’s not one of lifes major decisions.

It’s crazy someone would write an article about tiling window managers and try to introduce them as the “new hot thing”.

Now you just need a broken toilet and two copies of Outlook (non-functional).

Yes, it’s by design. You should probably read this https://mullvad.net/en/browser/mullvad-browser

I meant, the priorities for the society as a whole. Our governments and laws are formed accordingly. On individual level it’s same here as well. We have people who reject (or abuse) the system, who hate the taxes etc. But our society is formed to provide certain things like free access to education, healthcare and collective social security for elderly and those who can’t support themselves.

Vibe coding security problems is all we ever talk about these days.

Never heard of 996 but feels like these types of articles pop up every time there’s some kind of tech hype cycle going on. Silicon valley is full of IT heroes, ready to sacrifice it all - their families, health, environment - in order to make it big. Get rich or die trying. That’s the American Dream, right? Work hard, provide full value to shareholders and some precious honey might trickle down to you. The American “success culture” we Europeans apparently lack.

Meanwhile, here I am, I’m living in northern European social democratic utopia with free healthcare, education and annual, fully paid 6 week vacation while wondering why my 4-day work week is taking so long,.

Different priorities, I guess.

large collection of services in docker.

Ok, so the error message would indicate lack of available file descriptors and that probably depends on what your docker services are doing at the time and if you’ve set any ulimits on your containers.

So what are your host vs. docker ulimits? If you haven’t set any container ulimits, it’ll just use the global from the host.

ulimit -Hn

Longer explanation: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/limit-file-descriptors

So what are your ulimit’s set to? What are you running when that starts?

USA is not a serious country. What an absolute shit hole.

It’s been 12 years since Heartbleed and we’ve had numerous ”lone maintainer” issues since then. The situation shouldn’t come as a surprise or be especially ”hard to believe”.

This is the state of free software, especially when it matures.

Unless the creators manage to roll some kind of ”commercial” version, it’s not very sustainable in the long run. Turns out many eyes don’t really equal many PRs

Good start. Now remove it entirely.

being shaken down by Proton to pay even more money

Obviously you’re free to do as you please and its not an airport, you don’t have to announce your departure. But there’s no such thing as free service. Posting angry tirades seems counter productive.

I’d recommend self-hosting. Then you don’t have to worry about privacy, getting data hijacked or getting ripped off by sudden cost increases.

Ah, thanks I wasn’t aware of those instances. I guess it’s the same old, same old story as always - politicians (in general), even in EU are not really looking to do the “right thing”. They’re looking to do the most populistic thing.

If the EU has a system which does not rely on third parties for verification and allows the platform to verify directly with a government-run service

The EU has been driving union wide “Digital Identity Wallet” It’s documented here: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/spaces/EUDIGITALIDENTITYWALLET/pages/694487738/EU+Digital+Identity+Wallet+Home

There’s actually a project that tracks EU MEP’s and their X activity https://leavex.eu/politicians/
