AFAIK System76 had issues with the Gnome devs not wanting to accept some pull requests from S76 which they wanted for their own functionality, so they eventually decided to build their own DE in their preferred language; rust.

Cosmic is now the only major DE that is entirely rejecting AI generated code, so I’m rooting for it to succeed.

That message about Beehaw was added by Rimu, the creator of Piefed, not Beehaw. He just wanted people to act nice when commenting there, in respect for the pleasant culture they have cultivated.

According to Beehaw’s instances page, it is currently federated with feddit.org. Your comments showing up on beehaw itself, and the beehaw user responding to them with you able to see them, demonstrates that both instances are federated.

That other user appears to be misinformed.

The only instance I know of that defederated feddit.org is dbzer0, is that the instance you were thinking of?

Beehaw has problematic users? Like on average? I haven’t seen that myself.

Beehaw is defederated with Hexbear and Lemmygrad.

Most instances are federated with Lemmy.ml (including yours), the only one I know of that isn’t is Lemmy.cafe.

Lemmy.cafe is defederated from all three, I believe.

Though as you are on a piefed instance, I believe you can fully block an instance and its user’s comments, unlike on Lemmy where a user blocking an instance still let’s comments from that instance through.

Redox OS also has an Anti-AI policy, I believe.

Wendell from Level1Techs built Greg KH a monster rig for free, I’m sure they’d be willing to build one for Linus too.

Woah, how did I miss that?! Thanks for the heads up :)

It looks like it still doesn’t do group calls, but 1 on 1 is still great to have for sure.

Maybe I’ve only ever had good carob, but the carob cookies I made were delicious IMHO. The carob chips I used tasted like a cross between chocolate and raisins.

There are a few distros that do reject all AI code, which you can find in these two lists:

https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware#linux-based (under the ‘Alternative Linux-based operating systems’ section).

Greg KH in a recent talk said even the most advanced LLM produces an incorrect result 50% of the time, I would not trust it to perform more reliably than a human even with tight boundaries.

She has a medical condition that makes it difficult to locate a vein with a needle, so it’s likely a majority of the drug administered were injected into her arm muscles instead, which slowed the diffusion enough to save her. She and her attorney warned the state this scenario was likely to occur because of that medical condition, and they ignored her and did it anyway.

Coffee machines have had programmable auto-start at X time for decades at this point, no app or internet required, just a digital clock and simple, dumb electronics.

Ah darn, I didn’t know it was just an AI built site :(

But then one day one mouse button starts breaking: doing double clicks instead of single clicks or not registering that I keep the button pressed making drag and drop impossible.

I had that happen recently on a logitech G600 (apparently a lot of models of logitech mice use switches that are prone to early failure/hysteresis). I was able to purchase some replacement switches and fix it, though it did require a soldering iron and some rudimentary skills with it to do successfully (it’d actually make for a great first project to learn on).

I think most mice use the same generic switch design, so that should be viable to do with most of them once they start failing.

This community also allows for things that just last significantly longer than usual :)

I’ve been using it for the past 3 or so years now. The discord-like features are quite new still, and could use a bit more polish in the UX. I think the biggest stumbling block with it currently is that notifications don’t work reliably on mobile, requiring a second XMPP app like Conversations, which does have reliable notifications, to fill out the mobile experience (so you could see the notification from Conversations, then just pop open Movim to actually respond).

Fluxer was promising, though it appears to be pretty massively vibe-coded now, unfortunately. The main dev uploaded 1.3 million lines of code to it last month alone :(

Movim is angling to become a decentralized self host able discord replacement.
