Why, did you get it working on the BSD kernel?

Tab grouping has been one of the most wanted features for years. There's just no pleasing everyone...

Why is it an entirely different conversation? Or rather, why do you think that this conversation is not what the AI-opposition are concerned about? (At least some of us are)

Here are some quotes from the article we all know we're talking about:

Torvalds expects contributors to use well-funded chatbot coding

Kernel maintainers are complaining they’re drowning in slop. Torvalds’ answer is: less people, more chatbots!

Torvalds said he is not trying to push non-chatbot users out of the project. But there’s already so much slop code and so many slop procedures that his actions don’t match these words.

These are just from the first few opening paragraphs. I could keep going.

Now here are some of the top Lemmy comments:

The most disappointing aspect of using AI on linux, to me, is that it sort of implies linux is now more comfortable with the “move fast and break things” -mindset, now caring more about “efficiency” and “speed” rather than integrity and quality.

Its really sad, Linus used to be a champion of open source and now hes doing his best to ruin it.

Linus is a traitor to Open Source community. Using and promoting a tool created by stealing the works of thousands of developers, artists etc. He might be a good programmer but he is a fucking douchebag.

So yes, the AI opposition absolutely is concerned with the maintainers welcoming slop into the codebase. This is why we needed someone like @[email protected] to step in and make a post clarifying the situation.

All of what you said is true and applies to any open source project. They're all being flooded with slop PRs. But I would argue that the Linux kernel handles this in one of the best ways that they currently can. Wouldn't you be inclined to agree?

They'll just arrive 30 seconds later at the next red light where they still have to wait for the same 5 phases

This but unironically. It's a way more efficient way to lose weight than exercise. And it doesn't come with the Ozempic side effects

A .com domain? In this economy?

It used to be trained on actual games. Not pictures of women on the internet. And it only filled in the detail lost from low resolution gaming; it didn't overpower artistic intent

This is just my opinion, but I think it's reasonable to require your user to go to the settings if they want to remove a context menu item.

In fact, I think they're going above and beyond here. Most people never use "Inspect Accessibility Properties", yet they added it here with no option to remove it, and yet no one's complaining.

I think the cause of this outrage is people reading too much into Firefox's AI features. Firefox doesn't bundle an LLM or make requests without your permission. It doesn't put AI overviews on your pages. It didn't remove existing functionality to make room for the new buttons. And it doesn't shove any of the features into your face. It's just a context menu item that opens a website in the sidebar if you choose to click on it.

This article seems biased given how emotional it is. It could be entirely factually correct yet still misrepresent the situation. For example, there's no mention of the patch criteria or review procedure, which is such an important part of fairly covering this topic that omitting it is actively malicious.

I'll be waiting for fair coverage of the situation from a reputable news source, not a website whose sole purpose is to make AI and its users look bad.

I doubt a beeper would be put in series with something important...

I've never seen a SOIC package that's smaller than a grain of rice, with pins on all sides and two pin 1 markings

I think OP just copied someone else's slop meme and used Google Translate on it, though. So can't really blame them
