I think the costs of LLMs (huge energy hunger, people being fired because of it, hostile takeover of human creativity, and it causing computer hardware to rise in cost exponentially) is by far larger than the uses (generating videos of fish

And why not both? You can criticize the Trump admin's energy policy, and advocate for thermal isolation of homes at the same time.

We are pretty fucked right now, all things considered.

Alright, good point. Sorry for my bad first comment, I am just a bit defensive after all these years of people saying Wayland is unusable. The problems you describe with screen sharing are likely because of missing xdg-portal implementation

The fix is not buying Nvidia, even though some people here will tell you how much AMDs drivers actually sucked in 2009 and how good Nvidia is now and all that noise. Buy full AMD in 2026, and you'll have no problems with games. Also, B

I am also forced to use "productivity" software from MS, but I make do with the web versions on Linux at work. I hate it all, but it's okay. I am playing the long term game of trying to get my whole org to Linux. It helps tha

Throwing in opencloud here. I ran nextcloud self hosted for many years. If you need only file sharing on a webui with users, then opencloud is faster, more stable and less resource hungry.

Crowdstrike Falcon runs on Linux. Edit: that's probably a bad thing, lol

Debian. Rock solid, dependable. If you need new features, use backports.

If I buy a laptop from Lenovo today, buying it without an OS or with Linux is cheaper than Windows.

Perhaps you could have checked if the firmware was installed? Most distros have non free firmware in their packages, it just needs to be installed.

Just buy any modern Laptop? What you describe hasn't been an issue for at least ten years now.

No, doctors shouldn't use llms. The second a doctor does this with me knowing is the moment I switch doctors.

Even when it worked, it was more clunky than AMD at all times. It came in form of a huge driver bundle you had to install manually (or rely on a distro to do it for you), while AMD GPUs just worked due to `amdgpu` being part of the kernel s

I've been using Wayland (wlroots/swaywm) for a few years now and it's been flawless, even with an eGPU. But I'm also running all AMD hardware, that may be a factor. Life is too short for nvidia bullshit on Linux.

What part of c++ is inefficient? I can write that pretty quickly without having some cloud service hallucinate stuff. And no, a faster way to write or refactor code is not anti-worker. Corporations gobbling up tax payer money to build power

Devs also shouldn't be using GenAI, it's inherently anti-worker and IMHO also anti-human. But I guess that's an unpopular opinion around here.

If you think this is proof of it being true, then I am both worried and astonished. How about looking for the information yourself, instead of relying on LLMs? This is HN I thought?!

Is there a non-LLM source for that?

The world is going back to zones of influence, and little fish will be eaten by big fishes. I'd rather that the big fish be the EU than Russia, even if it means giving up some national rights.

Well written. I hope one day the united states of europe is a real political entity, burying the stupidity that is fragmented national interests.

Yeah, but people aren't using Cloudflare just for DDOS Mitigation. Some are running pretty much everything over it, from DNS to edge caching to load balancing and even hosting. That's what I oppose mainly.

We have a few colocated servers offsite, each in a different region, each with a zpool of mirrored spinning rust. We use rsync across those at different times.
