I agree with other sentiments of don't worry too much about the distro, but just do it. There is a lot of "it just works" all over many distros. As a daily driver though, you might have different work or other requirements that might not just work and you can distro hop as well..

I believe it's important to be part of the change you want to see (from walled gardens perspective)

Quick poll so I know if I'm the crazy one, does anyone else NOT disabled their ad blocker and just not read the article?

Even though I'm interested to know apple's reasons for taking my 99 USD and then thinking it's okay to just give my app the middle finger :/

I agree that nobody cares enough. When was the last time you read anything good or promising about any of these sites - bot related or otherwise? but they persist because of a snowball of your network using it and then we feel fomo.

The only way to win is not to play. even if your kid's soccer team and your church and your suburb's news (and billions of bots) are all only on fb or whatever, stop their momentum and get off the ride, but obviously that isnt happening so the snowball continues to roll with the garbage in it and nobody cares and that's just how it is now.

Wow i read that back and it's super negative..

My linux gaming experience has left me with a wierd irony... I have been stealing windows for the last 25 years and never ever felt like i owed M$ a cent. Now after totally switching to free stuff i suddenly feel (not in a bad way at all) a kind of debt to open source developers for just making cool stuff and putting it out there for me to use and play with and i'm not doing a crime anymore!

I left reading this article because i don't have access...

Never is a long time, and in that time, the term AI will mean a lot of things, digital and analog and maybe conscious

This is coming across as the "hobby police" here telling everyone what they can and can't do... I'm sure it wasn't meant that way but it reads that way.

The airplane company wont let you vibe code their systems anyway, and rightly so. the rest of us can just do whatever we like.

I read this as the cost per unit of video produced. Of course it costs a lot to build power plants but they will produce exponentially more videos, exponentially faster and it's all about scale.

Edit... And the tech companies are certainly not paying the environmental costs now are they?

I love this "local first" focus, which for me translates into "relevant first". My app Plantshare (posted about it in this HN post) is not very useful if you're the only user for 40km around, but I've seen local pockets of signups that gain momentum and are then useful in that locality and the users make local connections.

I think the biggest hurdle for this would be to gain traffic in place of an existing entrenched local Facebook group or similar.

That's like asking how do you convince people you dug a hole without using a shovel... who cares what tools were used unless you're in some kind of game with such rules. the shovel is just a tool and it didn't dig the hole, you did.

Lots of ideas are new to the person coming up with them, only to find out that it was invented 50 years ago, doesn't mean you cheated. AI or not, just own it.

I agree with this, break it down further.

When instructing it to execute the plan, i would even have it only execute step 1, then you review. then step 2, review and so on. this prevents it from going down a rabbit hole and you can adjust the plan's steps or change course more easily.
