Because the pace of code production has officially overwhelmed the human capacity to review it. As it was discussed recently. Linus answer was to use more AI, with the implementation of code review tools that gobble up code and spew out summaries.

For the time being, humans reading the summaries count as human reviewed. But at some point in time this system will crack. The current zeitgeist is to restrict who can contribute. Which leads to the obvious follow up question of who decides based on what, and how to decide who deserves to contribute.

You just witnessed the first steps into the philosophical and political erosion of the open source movement. Not just on the kernel but it is also affecting almost all popular FOSS projects.

But of course, that doesnt matter because Linux is not and has never been political. /s

All those things, including knives, are heavily regulated, yes.

Many indexers have donations optional, or a points system today. The tradeoff is that invitations are now even rarer and harder to get.

Again, you’re right. And that doesn’t matter.

Asimov is such a huge cyberpunk inspiration.

The meme lives on because it has various hooks that make it sticky. The fact that the oldest known living species that hasn’t changed in millions of years and still exist is some type of crab. The fact that there are several known instances of independent development of crab like features in the paleontologic records. It makes for an idea that seemingly “makes sense” in a common sense kind of way. Something that Old world monke rule definitely doesn’t have.

thank you Meta!

Again, the one and only response to this strawman is always: Employees already got paid.

No one who developed GTA6 will get a single cent or recognition from any sales of this game. All the money and accolades for the game will be collected and hoarded by individuals who didn’t have anything to do with the development.

You can appreciate the art that went into the work by individuals, while also acknowledging that it was made by a soul sucking and horrendous corporation.

So, who gets the “I told you so” prize first?

When he came out talking about allowing LLM code contributions everyone told him this would happen.

Split versions is usually the first step. Many projects have done so before. Next year there will be some technical reason they can’t keep feature parity with the commercial repository, and it will drift from the OSS repository. Oops, we broke compatibility, sowwy guys. A couple of years later the OSS repository will be closed because it is a security risk. By that point the company and management would’ve drifted so far from the initial values of the project that people won’t notice. Those who cared will have jumped ship to alternatives sooner, those who noticed later will be already too deep into depending on the software that they will keep paying the subscription.

I have no evidence, but I also don’t have any doubts this is the plan.

It currently doesn’t work with Vaultwarden. The Linux client doesn’t accept custom certificates. And the Android client is paid. It is a dead-end for self-hosting.

The license is also stupidly a single sentence. Which means that use could be nuked at any minute, and any money you use to pay the developer means nothing. If they wanted to kill the project today and nuke the repo, you have no legal rights, the project dies and fuck you and your passwords. That doesn’t exactly inspires confidence.

KeyGuard is proprietary on Android. Certain features are locked behind a subscription or one time purchase.

I’m starting to also hate on this model. People who claim to be open source but still throw hurdles and obstacles at anyone trying to either use or contribute to the project. I understand people need to support themselves financially, but I have donated to many free projects and open projects in my life. Whenever I see a paywall it makes me not want to use the project, however interesting it might be. It sucks they are usually the only almost decent android clients. (Looking at Symphonium and their developer’s shit ass attitude too)

EDIT: Just tried it and it seems like vaultwarden login and custom certificates on linux have been fried since December. It is currently a dead-end for selfhosters.

Two entities can be shit, and also malicious, at the same time.

Never said they developed it. They bought it for a reason though.

Can we self-host a RCS server and hub with all the RCS network?

Then federate, decentralize it, or abandon it to die. Let’s not pretend Google is saving something sacred like a baby’s life. They took up RCS to compete with Apple. This is not a tragedy, it was made this way by design.

I like RCS. I hate it was kidnapped by Google and they’re the only ones hosting the servers instead of the carriers as it was supposed to be. Instead of the agnostic infrastructure we were supposed to have, we got another corporate monopoly hell scape.

Exactly. People always have a bias or interest. Even if, globally speaking, I or you care for the humanity of all people and the victims of all conflicts. Time, space and resources in general are limited. So our bias, attention span, education, etc. Create a background filter for what we dedicate our time and attention.

This is why the “of course” clause in leftist rethoric always have to apply. Free Palestine, of course has to necessarily mean a care for all human suffering across the globe. It is implied by default. It is just this three seconds are dedicated to this issue in particular.

When people have objections they usually include them. Like terfs who can’t shut up about how much they hate trans people even when, on the surface, they seem to be using feminist rethoric. Antisemitic assholes will always include a qualifier to insult Jewish people. And even reject other areas of pro-palestinian discourse. Because they want to focus on the hate, the positive message is being coopted. Just like feminist messages are coopted to hate on trans women. It becomes obvious that the point is to promote hate, not to support people being oppressed.

I love how this phrase out context makes absolutely no sense, and might as well be alien to 99% of the population of the world:

Resolution and frame rate are no longer tied to the PS4 hardware, while the game supports NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, AMD FSR 3.1/4.1, and Intel XeSS, alongside native-resolution DLAA and FSR Native AA. NVIDIA RTX 40 Series GPUs can also use DLSS Frame Generation, while AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation is supported on Radeon RX 5000 Series and newer GPUs.

Hell, it might as well be Chinese for over half of gamers.

EDIT: try to say it out loud, it is just gibberish and random letters. Doesn’t even sound like english.

Genre fatigue is very real. Hollywood treats every fad as the next gold rush, and it has been destroying the movie experience ever since. There are some diamonds in the pile of coal, but it is still mostly just coal. Burns fast, has no staying power. Burn it all at once, and you lose the diamonds along with the pile.
