"No, maybe that wasn’t it. Words precede and surpass me, they tempt and alter me, and if I am not careful it will be too late: things will be said without my having said them. Or, at the very least, that wasn’t the only thing. My entanglement comes from how a carpet is made of so many threads that I can’t resign myself to following just one; my ensnarement comes from how one story is made of many stories. And I can’t even tell them all— a more truthful word could from echo to echo cause my highest glaciers to crumble down the precipice." - Clarice Lispector

  • Well I think if you eat those we can all agree that is an ok exception to eating vegetarian, it is more like self defense at that point.

  • suggesting that it would lead to an order of magnitude increase is surely premature

    The US is continuing to worsen in performance on meaures of small business entrepreneurship in essentially all industries in the US, software and software adjacent industries are no different especially if you don't get distracted by the AI bubble inflating that value of a bunch of illusions claiming to be businesses.

    It is easy to see how the inability of the average person to try a new idea, or risk taking on a project that may not pay off immediately translates directly to a lack of available developers for open source software projects.

    The impact of Universal Healthcare would be huge for open source development in the US, the amount of programmers that would be pushed over the line from "just making ends meet while having a work life balance" to "ok maybe I could devote some time to open source development".

    Don't get me wrong though, I think we need to normalize straight up paying developers for Open Source Development. Just because it is open source doesn't mean it doesn't take labor, that is not the argument I am making.

  • Github and the whole culture that it came out of it used to (it feels sooooo good to say that in the past tense) be globally hinged on Silicon Valley, why would you not expect to see a anomalously high number of US developers on it?

  • But where will the maintainers for these alternatives come from, when barely anybody has stepped up in the 30 years of rsync's existence?

    Universal Healthcare would increase the pool of willing developers by an order of magnitude here.

  • Yeah, the current backlash over LLMs in any capacity is a meme.

    No, you just don't want to face the fact that a growing number of people are less gullible than you.

  • Rust will save the Linux kernel project from flood of AI-discovered security problems and already improves the kernel, but it is not a silver bullet, says Greg Kroah-Hartman

    No, they have not realized that has already happened.

  • We need unions to prevent humans from the ruling class from abusing you because they have thoroughly convinced you and others like you incorrectly that robots can actually replace entry level versions of yourself.

    It might appear that they can in the short term, but that is why we refer to AI as a bubble.

    Wake up.

    Jump

  • The only thing that will save Linux from AI is when programmers get their heads out of their asses, stop subscribing to scifi slop that AI is about take over and start asserting to everyone else how necessary human input is in their craft by forming unions.

    The problem with programmers is they are quick to think their understanding of computers makes them understand everything and it created a massive blindspot of hubris big enough to allow the ruling class to destroy the potential quality of life that used to come from working as a programmer right in front of programmers eyes. I would be tempted to call it sad if programmers didn't tend to be so condescending about believing their knowledge is a universal shortcut to understanding everything else.

    Programming is an industry dominated by pushovers who aren't willing to fight for anything that cannot be understood in the terms of automation, scaling or endless growth of technology. There is a willing blindness here and the rest of the world is getting really tired of it.

    Fight, stop immersing yourself in stories about how AI will become sentient blah blah blah, outside of your bubble very few people actually believe this nonsense and it just blinds you to your own dehumanization that is happening right in front of your eyes for entirely human reasons that have NOTHING to do with technology working or not working and EVERYTHING to do with a failure of humans to organize and preserve the professionalism of their craft because they were convinced of delusions by the people ruling over them.
