Opinions exclusively of my own and of voices in my head.

Autism, communism, arthitism, cannabism.

  • PS5 Linux project released, turning some PlayStation 5 consoles into Linux PCs

    Jump

  • That’s how modchips work in general but after many years of failures PlayStation security mechanisms are quite sophisticated. Jailbreaks in such cases involve chains of multiple exploits of different kinds. Hardware is often involved but software based exploits will be the most sought after as they’re easiest to for the end user.

  • PS5 Linux project released, turning some PlayStation 5 consoles into Linux PCs

    Jump

  • It was patched and blocked in 2022. The most common way to jailbreak stuff these days is to stash it offline for an extended period of time while waiting for a public exploit.

  • PS5 Linux project released, turning some PlayStation 5 consoles into Linux PCs

    Jump

  • It might be cheaper than either given that Sony subsidises their hardware and PS5 comes with 16GB of GDDR6. Getting PS5 on firmware old enough makes this a very niche thing though.

  • Ubuntu Linux Will Begin Landing AI Features Throughout The Next Year

    Jump

  • They put out LTS releases which are nice for a home server where you need relatively recent packages and a couple of years of support so that you don’t have to babysit it too much. On a server it’s much closer to Debian experience as you don’t have to deal with snap, flatpak and all that weirdness.

  • Ubuntu Linux Will Begin Landing AI Features Throughout The Next Year

    Jump

  • I used Ubuntu back then too but I’m a Gnome person so I missed out on this innovation from Canonical.

  • Ubuntu Linux Will Begin Landing AI Features Throughout The Next Year

    Jump

  • The only ads I notice is that apt shows how many packages can be updated through an optional paid Expanded Security Maintenance. This isn’t very obtrusive but I’m on a 4 year old LTS release currently so things might have changed.

  • 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) shipping with the final 7.0 Linux kernel

    Jump

  • I’ll be upgrading soon since my home server is still at 22.04 and I need new ZFS to expand my drive array which was made possible not too long ago. This thing has been running the same Ubuntu install for 7 or 8 years now. It’s been so long that I thought I was hacked by Iranians when I noticed OpenClaw folder in ~/config/. Turns out it was unofficial Captain Claw port that I played ages ago when this thing was still a desktop. I highly recommend this OpenClaw

    That was random but I thought someone might find it funny. I’m a bit high. Sorry.

  • If something is public domain then it’s incompatible with copyleft licenses, like GPL under which Linux is licensed.

    Linux team is trolling AI boosters who can’t certify their code is clean unless they trained models themselves.

  • Are we doing crimes when scrapping data online? For example public available music?

    Jump

  • Not only copyright is dead but so is licensing of things in general. This means there’ll be less original work from both commercial and non-commercial projects. Commercially there won’t be ways to profit so why bother. On the libre licensing front why would you contribute code to GPL licensed projects or release art under Creative Commons if it’s going to be license washed anyway?

  • The Linux Kernel Organization now lets developers submit AI-generated code, as long as it complies with the guidelines, licensing, and attribution requirements

    Jump

  • Given that nobody is able to guarantee that code used for training was used according to it’s license, this means no hallucinated code in Linux. Nice.

  • Little Snitch comes to Linux to expose what your software is really doing

    Jump

  • For a FOSS enthusiast, this is a total non-starter. We don’t migrate to Linux just to swap one proprietary black box for another. If I cannot audit the code that sits between my binaries and the internet, I am not interested.

    That’s hardcore. Are there any network cards with fully open firmware? How does one learn to audit code for how many layers there are to this? Does this person has time for anything other than auditing code? Or is this and other claims a satire?

  • GabeN Is Shitting Yacht Money into Flatpak and You're Still Arguing Init Systems

    Jump

  • How much money exactly? Last time I checked it was just salary for a couple of devs. That’s least they can do while taking 30% cut of nearly all PC game sales. That’s the kind of money that goes into significantly subsidising console hardware for comparison. They benefit so much from the work of others that went into Linux, Wine and the ecosystem already that they should be giving way more in return.

  • Do forks of Claude Code make OpenCode completely obsolete?

    Jump

  • Anthropic claims that. Sucks for them now, but boy did it do wonders for their marketing.

  • Do forks of Claude Code make OpenCode completely obsolete?

    Jump

  • It is Anthropic’s whole business model though.

  • Do forks of Claude Code make OpenCode completely obsolete?

    Jump

  • What if license and copyright was washed by using an LLM to translate Claude into another language?

    Either way, Claude can’t be copyrighted because it’s a product of an LLM.

  • Why are so many Distros based of Ubuntu and not Debian?

    Jump

  • Predictable schedule of stable releases with relatively up to date packages for most of commonly used software and drivers.

  • Linux kernel maintainer says Al has suddenly become useful for devs: 'We can't ignore this stuff. It's coming up, and it's getting better"

    Jump

  • They list iTerm2 as affected but list Linux-specific terminal emulators only as replacement even if there are plenty of those on MacOS. At this point I think those lists are prepared by LLM boosters too.

  • The reports of age verification in Linux are greatly exaggerated, for now

    Jump

  • Given that the incompetent leadership is here to stay it’s best to adjust to the situation and not make it worse. Moral victories mean very little compared to getting things done.

  • NetNewsWire 7.0 for iOS

    Jump

  • This version adopts Liquid Glass — and we think it’s a better looking version of NetNewsWire. We think even people who aren’t fans of Liquid Glass will agree with us. 🐣

    Based on their screenshots it’s a typical Liquid Ass with transparent text input fields overlaid on top of other, still visible text. See for yourself:

    Illustration above is supposed to convince people that Liquid Ass is great. Just look at how readable it is and how easy it is to locate UI elements at glance! What does the 3 circle icon even mean? You don’t know until you click, a staple of true innovation.
