  • There are no Linux gatekeepers. There are assholes everywhere, that’s the human condition. I came across these assholes and I learnt that I should take advice and consider it myself.

    If you close your brain and listen to random online people without thought, you’ll have a bad time, Linux or no Linux.

    This stereotype of people in Linux or open source as assholes is FUD spread by people who have a vested interest in spreading it.

    I’ve found people mostly very helpful and courteous.

    I think the point you’re missing is modern cameras (especially smart phone cameras) already have AI and don’t “capture” what they see accurately.

    In fact photographers going back into the earliest days of photography have been modifying photos with all the tools available to them.

    Generative AI is just the latest tool in the toolbox and still requires skill and creativity to get good results.

    This cartoon is stupid and the artist is a Nazi, but let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.



  • The big issue is that by adding more and more features, a browser has become an operating system and so complex that you can’t hope to make a new one from scratch.

    The last “new” browser engine (that wasn’t built by a corporation) was KHTML which was stolen harvested first by Apple for Webkit and subsequently by Google for Blink. KHTML then rotted without support.

    The most recent attempt was to build Servo in Rust. Mozilla “ran out of money” (they depend on Google for their existence), and it’s already rotting.
