Any sources?

ChatGPT is worse. The others not so much.

I think owning a platform like GitHub and acting like you can profit out of your code (not your product) isn’t good news.

I’ve just finished reading “A Hacker Manifesto” by McKenzie Wark. I recommend that as well.

What wouldn’t I be able to access without compatibility investments? Spotify, LinkedIn? I think I’m fine.

Besides, what’s the point of OSS that is owned 85% by a big company?

Thank you!

I don’t think being afraid of it is the right way to go. But that is really convenient for Big Tech isn’t it? At least as of now, being online (or a digital being) means you only see what Google or the LLMs want you too. There is a complete detachment of local culture to give in to this global vision, but as envisioned by Big Tech.

I’ve searched for local newspapers using Google Maps localization, which is far from perfect, just to see if my local culture is still there. If people actually live like they lived 10-15 years ago. And they’re the same. It’s just that, as incredible as it may seem, the local physical culture of the city is getting superseded by digital realities. The people are the same, but they’re more or less invisible now.

It’s crazy the way things are going, but I think the response should be technological also and not avoiding knowledge or the effort necessary for it.

Because it deepens the rift. Donald Trump as president also helps Putin a lot, as the russian president have said before, since Trump also wants to shake things up. As could be seen by his tariff policies.

Russia has been cut out from the West, it couldn’t even participate in the Olympics. So it got closer to China. Its economy is resilient despite the war. Russia has also been the leading country in the BRICS in regard to finding an alternative to the dollar together with Brazil. And it is working to ditch SWIFT (the banking system). So I’d say Russia is pretty interested into getting away from the West, at least economically and politically.

If I had to guess (my knowledge is a couple of geopolitics books), I’d say Russia wants to create a rift between East and West that is beneficial to China as well. China helped Russia build a quantum computer recently and there are more clues that they’re getting even closer together. I think Russia wants to shake the current world order.

Just put me through 4 years of a paid training position instead of University already. Finding a job has been shit because of lack of experience.

I can ask AI things and then check if it is correct somewhere else. It’s very good at guiding you towards knowing things. Sometimes it will avoid giving information, but it is always useful at answering things. It’s like someone you can bother without having to resort to forums or other boards. It advanced my knowledge a lot. I already read a lot, but you can’t ask a book to clarify things.

I learn a lot using AI. In a way I wouldn’t be able to learn on my own.

This is common in rolling releases, but Pop OS isn’t a rolling release distro. Maybe a package you installed or something similar?

Most programming books start with tips for starters. I don’t think that’s a good way to do it. I want books that get into the programming techniques the pros use. What to use when building functions, how to build a proper class within the goals set. I think this is better than explaining the reserved words or other things that belong to an encyclopedia.

With a Wi-Fi adapter on Desktop?

I think Windows is successful because it creates a nice Enterprise environment, where companies can easily get into investing into new apps to use in their offices. I think that’s why it’s successful.
