Cloudflare’s usage of AI has increased by more than 600% in the last three months alone. Employees across the company from engineering to HR to finance to marketing run thousands of AI agent sessions each day to get their work done.
Translation: Skip the AI and you might keep your job.
Only had to go to the hardware store once? You had me there for a bit but that's not possible.
Same. GPU subscriber for years but I tapped out with the last price increase. Discovered I didn't need it so here we are.
Socialism isn't a dirty word anymore. I would gladly take socialism over the late stage capitalism that allows surveillance pricing to exist.
Right? It isn't a great revelation that they are in contact over these things. They are clearly working together.
That's not to say that old Netty isn't pulling the strings, just that this does not really say anything we didn't already know.
So he wants to end the blockade by blockading the blockade?
Personally, I use pacman when possible and flatpak when it's not. I try to avoid the aur as I have had too many problems with missing dependencies or version conflicts. Plus, I don't generally need things that are not in the repositories so it rarely comes up.
"But flatpaks are not lean!" While this is true, I find flatpaks don't break my system. Flatpaks do use more resources, from storage to RAM, but I have plenty of both so it's not really a concern.
I ran Artix for a few days but ran into audio server issues. The issue was that there wasn't an audio server installed so I had not sounds at all. I managed to get everything working after some trial and error. As expected, most of the online help is written with systemd in mind. A little while later I installed another application which installed alsa as a dependency which broke my audio again. I went back to EndeavourOS after that.
Would love to see it happen.
This is exactly why they target low income communities for recruitment. Someone who is down and out is a far better target for recruitment.
I'm tempering the systemd thing as I do feel it is somewhat getting blown out of proportion. Though I did try some non systemd distros in a VM over the last week.
A bigger issue for me is this push to embrace AI. It seems all the American tech companies are jumping on board and Red Hat is no exception.
I want to love Fedora but this is the last straw for me.

Essentially any distro with funding primarily from US tech companies is going to go to shit. It's only a matter of time.
I do run EndeavourOS on my main PC and it's pretty great. I have not seen any statement regarding their position on the age attestation crap. I'll jump ship if they come out in favour of it. I just hope they do not.
Article title was missing a word.
