Your software vendor is embedding AI into your OS whether you want it or not.
You do not need new hardware to escape it.
Linux runs beautifully on existing machines. LibreOffice replaces Microsoft 365. Nextcloud replaces SharePoint. The open source stack is mature, capable, and puts control back in your hands.
Digital sovereignty is a business decision, not just a technical one.

The new "Mythos" #AI algorithm from #Anthropic can easily find vulnerabilities in any code it has access to—something a #human is incapable of doing. Does this spell the end of the #OpenSource movement? In the face of the danger posed by AI, are we forced to return to proprietary #software that does not disclose its source code?

hi, i'm Nicoleta - never used a microblogging platform so this is all new to me :)
i love:
* computers - but the hacker culture / free software / sustainable tech parts, not the hypergrowth dark pattern stuff that plagues our existence nowadays
* writing, which i should do more of, over at nicoleta.bearblog.dev
* art & creative expression
* music, esp. electronic
* rhythm games
* dancing, i dance lindy hop!
i'm looking for a community of like-minded people, who feel the same about tech, which is why i joined here :)
if you're local (from Bucharest/Romania), let's get connected, and form a local group for FOSS enthusiasts/hackers/tinkerers!
see you in the cyberspace :)
Nor does @ossguy claim in his post that “slop commits from people #LLM-backed gen #AI are good”. I think people are reading it as if he said it, but he didn't.
He's putting out an olive branch to people who have been lambasted by the #FOSS community for months. Maybe they'll take it, maybe they won't.
But peaceful negotiation is better than a protracted, hateful argument.

I don’t use Twitter or Microsoft Edge, but my network logs tell a different story.
Following my post on why I’m skipping the proprietary "Little Snitch" port for Linux, I spent Saturday evening watching the "invisible conversation" between my family’s idle devices and Big Tech servers. Even with no one actively online, the telemetry never stops.
The receipts are now on the blog:

The most interesting digital payment method is also free and open source software. I wish more banks would use it and leverage their country’s instant settlement infrastructure to remove the expensive payment middlemen.

Matthew Broderick, as David Lightman, in WarGames (1983) is seen playing Galaga, one of the best early fixed-shooter video games.
A version of said game is available in the present day on Debian based distros as xgalaga (and probably most other distros, too).
PS
The movie is great, albeit the technology is really out-dated. 😃
