It is certainly not a "search engine". Perhaps you should do some reading on how LLMs function.

Wordpad was horrible! Nobody reasonable misses binary encoded .rtf files. They were a nightmare for any other platform other than windows.

What are these horrible takes?

I can't believe I'm saying this on hackernews of all places... Markdown *is* plain text.

I know this is a bit tongue in cheek, but the systemd hate is so old and tiresome at this point.

I need my systems to work. Not once in my career have I experienced a showstopping issue with systemd. I cannot say the same for sysV.

Not bingo. The kernel doesn't provide antifeatures such as ChatGPT and ads on your start menu.

That would be your desktop environment... Which is also typically open source on Linux.

If KDE (desktop environment) developers decide to add ChatGPT or Claude integration, I can simply uninstall it and install a different DE.

I fail to see your point. Kernel development by the aforementioned big players benefits everyone and is all done in the open. Hence, "open source". In fact they use a public mailing list to submit patches.

All of the patches are auditable. If I don't want a patch, I can *trivially* omit it from my kernel before compiling.

How exactly are open source kernel modules and drivers affecting my freedom?

How is this possible? I don't think you quite understand what "Linux" is.

There is no corporation, board, or CEO to force unwanted changes. Pretty much every piece of the operating system is free and open source.

If you don't like your "Linux", you can swap it out for another distribution or "distro".

I'm sorry, but 7MM reported deaths worldwide is hardly a "fake pandemic". The actual number of deaths is estimated to be 2-5x the reported amount.

What are you talking about?

Clicking X at the top right corner... Not exactly muscle memory. Way slower than ;q

You can use a mouse with a terminal. Also one could argue that you opt into your own level of information density.

I'm sorry, but no. The tools work. I don't need "more context" from my `less` or `more` commands. The LLM can train on the man pages just as a human can read the man pages.

Why rethink tools that have existed since the 70s and function predictably for a landscape that drastically shifts every two months? Seems shortsighted to me.

The question was if you needed a Facebook account for a quest headset. Not whether or not you wear a tinfoil hat.

Yes, you use a meta account that has no ties to Facebook. Mine is under an alias with absolutely no connection to any social feeds or network.

Unless you count Meta Horizon Worlds which is kind of a joke.

It's an anonymous board. Those numbers are unique post ID's referenced by >>.

The thread IDs have 3 chevrons. If you wish to reply to someone, you click the "reply" button and a >>$ID is placed in the comment box.

Are you really so strapped for disk space that 70MiB impacts your user experience?

EDIT: The parent comment is disingenuous: the application isn't even 70MB. It's only 70MB if you download the windows edition with vendored libicu (unicode, 31MB) library. It weighs around ~20MB on linux distributions, which is insignificant.

Source? They've always been logless.

I think you have this completely backwards considering Proton maliciously logged and handed out customer IPs to police [0].

A circular reference to baseless conjecture is not a source.

No. Nothing of the sort. They were forced by law to reveal IP addresses of some key individuals.

Sorry, race conditions? You really have to go out of your way to implement those.
