Why does an agent need a web server to take remote commands in the first place???

It’s a vibe, bro.

Prompt injection will never be "solved". It will always be a threat.

I had an Android phone and my friend had a Windows Phone. I wanted to get a Windows phone but by the time I came around to needing a new device it was already killed off. Too bad.

Git didn’t win because of Linux. It won because of Github.

I never said macOS has good window management.

UBI will never happen because the people in power done want it.

Who is going to control AI? The people in power obviously. The will buy all of the computers so running models locally will no longer be feasible. In case it hasn’t been obvious that this is already happening. It will only get worse.

They will not let themselves be taxed.

But who will buy the things the people in power produce if nobody has a job?

This is how civilization collapses.

spending more than 1 minute building this

....with a keyboard? on macos I use Rectangle, on linux I just use the built-in resizing keyboard shortcuts

i haven't resized a window with a mouse in almost a decade

No my advice is to treat people like human beings and not science experiments. Which is something that Meta does, and he advocates for in this blog post.

just typical corporate open source bloodsucking

thank you!

Out of incessant curiosity and borderline obsession - I installed KDE, then I enabled the experimental Wayland support for Proton and tried the game again.

It runs great now. The Wayland support didn't seem to do anything when I was using Gnome but it's a noticeable difference on KDE. As long as I disable vsync which locks the framerate at 30fps for some reason. But overall the game is very playable on Linux now.

Guess I'm switching to KDE.

Yeah, my advice would be to take whatever this guy says and…do the opposite.

Part of it was the game just didn’t play nice with Wayland, and since I use Gnome I don’t have an X11 session available. I could’ve tried on a different DE but didn’t want to install a bunch of extra bloat; yet I installed a whole other Os…sigh

shrugs

Maybe I’ll try switching to KDE and see if it works better under X11 there.

The game is called HROT it’s an indie “boomer shooter”. The game was first locked to 30fps which is horrible for an FPS. Then I got that figured out, but FPS was all over the place and it felt basically unplayable to me even though I was often getting 100+ FPS. Frame pacing was absolutey FUBAR’d no matter which version of Proton or Wine, so even though frames were high it still felt terrible to play. So I just decided to create a Windows dual-boot just for the odd game. Now I can get a locked framerate to my monitor refresh and the game feels great to play.

It’s basically “Soviet Quake”. Very moody atmosphere with just weird random details in the game. Amazing level design.

On the flip side. The original Max Payne does not play on Windows but it works perfectly on Linux for me.

Oh boy I have some bad news for thise IT security losers

Windows will continue to get slower and slower because being fast is not a priority for them.

The only care about AI so that’s what we’re gonna get.

I replaced Windows with Linux about 6 months ago. Then I ran into a game I really wanted to play but it didn’t run well with Proton (not kernel anti-cheat, just bad performance) after all the tweaks so I just reserved to dual booting with Windows 10.

After not using Windows for so long, I came to realize that Windows is just as much a mess as Linux just in different ways. You get used to the quirks so you don’t notice them after a while but they are definitely there.

Most of my games work just fine or even better on Linux. Some of my older games don’t even work on Windows that work perfectly under Wine/Proton which is truely miraculous. The Wine team and Valve have made some incredible contributions to the preservation of games on PC, it can’t be understated.

So I daily drive Linux and play those handful of games on Windows, and I’ll probably stay this way for now and try the proton situation again in a few years.

I switched to Prezto because of how slow OMZ is, been really happy with it. At one point it started causing issues with the IntelliJ environment reader but it’s been perfect once I sorted that out.

Another game that has LLM powered NPCs is the f2p action game from China called "Where Winds Meet" and players came up with all sorts of hilarious ways to cheat quests and other fun stuff via prompt injections.

We start the meeting at 2 minutes past. Meetings end at 10 minutes before the hour (or half hour) - yes, "30 minute" meetings are only effecitvely 18 minutes, but we leave a few minutes of buffer.

Any meeting that goes over an hour has a mandatory 10 minute break at the 50 minute mark every hour.

If you're not on time..tough sh*t we're starting without you. Use the AI minutes or something to catch up.

My son has a enormous bin full of lego that he just free builds with.

Every time we go by Lego Land when we're on a road trip we make a stop and gets to pick out a bunch of stuff from the "random brick wall" and he just adds a bunch of stuff to his pile.

He got a Minecraft set for christmas a couple years ago. I was the one that built it but he just uses the blocks and minifigs for whatever he wants now.

Very few people truely understand the concept of Liberty.

We used to call this “buying an enterprise license”.

Theo the YouTuber who also runs T3.chat always makes videos about how great coding agents are and he’ll try to do something on stream and it ALWAYS fails massively and he’s always like “well it wasn’t like this when I did it earlier.”

Sure buddy.

> "One thing you'll notice is the message we delivered around our products was not AI-first," Dell head of product, Kevin Terwilliger says with a smile. "So, a bit of a shift from a year ago where we were all about the AI PC."

> "We're very focused on delivering upon the AI capabilities of a device—in fact everything that we're announcing has an NPU in it—but what we've learned over the course of this year, especially from a consumer perspective, is they're not buying based on AI," Terwilliger says bluntly. "In fact I think AI probably confuses them more than it helps them understand a specific outcome."

He's talking about marketing. They're still gonna shove it into anything and everything they can. They just aren't gonna tell you about it.

They had a sensible business model UNTIL AI came around. As usual, AI is just destroying everything it touches.

Not every business should need hyperscaling mega-exit unicorn enshittification.

Lifestyle and small businesses are good and of course these are being crushed by our new oligarchs.
