  Wtf are you on about? You are conceding shit that nobody asked you you to concede. I’m not “fighting hard”. I replied to a comment on a lemmy post. Nobody thinks that antifa means anything other than anti-fascist except right-wingers in one country I don’t live in. Why should I let them control my language?

  Don't worry, the models already spit out poor code quality.

  The relevance for me personally is whether or not they can be useful for programming, and if they’re accessible to run locally. I’m not interested in feeding my data to a datacentre. My AMD GPU also doesn’t support ROCm so LLMs run slow as fuck for me. So, generally, I avoid them. LLMs consistently produce lower quality, less correct, and less secure code than humans. However, they do seem to be getting better. I might be open to using them to generate unit tests if only they would run faster...

  I read that as the animal mice, and I was wondering why Meta was hiring mice.

  Depends on what you define as "politics" but aside from "everything is politics", my Lemmy feed is mostly tech stuff. Just subscribe to communities that fit your interests. That being said, many interests will be under-represented on Lemmy as I think the user base skews either technical or political or both.

  Not anything concrete. Windows is kind of nostalgic for me as I only used it as a young child. But there's not a specific "I wish X was on Linux".

  I have no money atm but my last round of FOSS donations was just picking based on a function of how much I use a piece of software; how much I like it; and how much money I think it already gets. e.g. I didn't donate to the Linux kernel because that's already well-funded, even though I use it every day and like it well enough. I think my last donations included River (the Wayland compositor I use). For the life of me I can't remember what else there was but I tend to do rounds of do...

  People have their preferences for UI and UX. I use Aerc because I like modal editing (ie being able to write my emails in vim) and keyboard nav. Using a desktop email client rather than webmail client from a provider gives me that freedom. Besides, I don't actually have a webmail client I can use lol. I host my own email and host the IMAP server but I don't host a web interface.

  Auto upload to a remote location (e.g. VPS), ideally somewhere out of the country to really minimise chances of deletion. Could also have it auto upload to several places. You'll need good enough internet connection to upload it though, so if they're using signal jammers at a protest that could be a problem. In terms of preventing deletion on the phone itself, you can't really stop them from "losing" your phone, even if they can't get into it.

  If you can't feasibly vet the code yourself (I think it is feasible for things like scripts and other small projects) and the star count is low/it's not already well known and trusted, probably try running in a VM first and look out for signs of it doing things it shouldn't, e.g. if it's sending HTTP requests to the internet despite it being a program that should be completely offline. Using things like AppArmor and SELinux to prevent programs from doing things they shouldn't...

  It increases the workload for fork devs the more crap they have to remove from upstream and the more the fork deviates from upstream.

  Is there any evidence that they would go after random FOSS projects that aren't hosted or developed in the relevant jurisdictions? Don't comply in advance.

  You've rather boldly made that unsubstantiated claim. Who do you think these scammers are? They're from poor countries suffering from the aftereffects of colonialism and the ongoing effects of neocolonialism, all of which cause many social problems including the kind that drive people, either through direct violent coercion or more indirect economic coercion, to do things like scam westerners.

  How do you like your carrots? Whole, chopped in a certain way?

  I do have a profile picture, but I don't think it's crucial. Other link aggregators often don't have profile pictures so if you're used to those, you may not think to set one. In any case I've never thought anyone's profile picture on here was particularly consequential to me.

  Misogyny.

  What happens if someone refuses to do any chores in a shared household? There are already plenty of situations where people do work for free because it's in your own interests. In groups like households people take turns taking out the bins and cleaning. In a communist society people will take turns doing the necessary work. If someone refuses, maybe something is wrong in their life, and they need help. At the end of the day, there's no economic coercion in a classless society. If one in...

  Yay I only use flatpak for one Python program because it has a lot of runtime dependencies I don't want to bother with. I generally wouldn't use flatpak.
