2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    It looks like the mascot is animorphing into a laptop

    [–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 71 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Reject animal, return to computer.

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 16 points 1 month ago

    Not the weirdest furry transformation I've seen

    [–] molten_boron@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

    One of Konqi's lesser known powers.

    [–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 122 points 1 month ago

    Based KDE, per usual

    I would 100% rescue 30 pcs... If I had the opportunity

    [–] mrbn@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    lol 30 hectares of woodland... thats about 300,000 mΒ², or 42 NHL sized ice rinks

    [–] discocactus@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

    Yeah and planting 30 trees take about an hour. Smhmh.

    [–] jdr@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Is that ice rink regulation? I get 91 (if you don't worry about packing the round corners).

    [–] ollie@pawb.social 12 points 1 month ago

    i love that you saw that and was like "hmm, better check that maths"

    [–] mrbn@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

    I believe so, I calculated the area of the NHL rinks using lots of popsicle sticks, a flashlight (cause the lights were off), and a broom. In hindsight maybe I should have included a calculator but I ain't no nerd! /s

    Either way, that's a lot of land to cover.

    What is this, Canada? We measure things by football field around here dagnabbit

    [–] mrbn@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

    My bad, it would be about 36–37 CFL football fields (but I'd double check that math if I was you... or @jdr@lemmy.ml πŸ˜…οΈ)>

    Cleaning up the world and roasting AI datacenters in the same post is peak KDE energy. Honestly, respect.

    KDE's mascot is such a cute design

    [–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 month ago

    i like software mascots in general.

    KDE is the best DE

    [–] ell1e@leminal.space 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Sadly, it seems like they're going to be pro AI internally: https://discuss.kde.org/t/sorry-to-bring-up-a-contentious-topic-kde-ai-llm-policy/46333 (If you jump in to comment, please try to be constructive rather than full of rage.)

    [–] Bazoogle@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (4 children)

    There are appropriate and legitimate use cases for AI, especially when locally hosted. Tech/programming is one of the few. The problem is when its shoved in everyones face for everything and all the data goes to tech conglomerates

    [–] ell1e@leminal.space 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    Some of us respectfully disagree with LLMs for programming being "appropriate and legitimate", at least if that involves generating code and not just locating bugs.

    Local LLMs retain significant issues like the one shown in this clip: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/38072#issuecomment-4105681567 Unless your model uses 100% properly licensed training data which no code LLM I have found appears to be doing.

    [–] msage@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (5 children)

    Locating bugs is one of the most important tasks in programming, and if devs can't do that, not are willing to learn to do so, they are fucked.

    There's no other way of saying it. Can't wait for the AI bubble to pop.

    Damm, that is a long thread, I spent like 25 minutes reading it and only got half way through it

    [–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Given the nature of this controversial subject are you honestly surprised?

    [–] DeckPacker@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

    Yeah, not really.

    Especially because this is FOSS. We love our insanely long discussions about formalities.

    Made me lol, really. The innocuousness of that bullet point

    All those years of roasting made them unstoppable, goddamn

    I don't have the space to plant 30 trees unless it's in the form of a hedge, but hey, I could plant 30 of some other perennials. Been considering lilacs. Grew up with them around some of the places I'd visit and I can't get the smell out of my head, even if it's just for 2 weeks a summer. Though I guess I could see if I can get a variety of different cultivars that would flower at different times

    [–] fireweed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Do you happen to live in North America? If so I'd highly recommend checking out the Xerces society plant lists for recommended species that support local pollinators. The plant lists include timing info for suggestions on what would bloom the rest of the year, because as you mention lilacs are fairly short bloomers (might I recommend my namesake, the humble fireweed, which is a late summer bloomer?)

    [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

    Northeastern Europe actually. I'm sure there's a list I can find with timing info for my country, but Google was kinda useless. I found a bunch of articles telling me I should be planting clover, but that already naturally grows in my lawn lol
