Yes, we talked about it, I explained to her what I was going to do, and she said she didn't mind. She doesn't work in tech, but we talk quite a lot about it, and she understands the implications.

Why do you assume I would do anything against my wife's will?

And I never said anything about "optimizing myself out of existence", this comment was still written by me and no LLM touched it.

But when writing comments on code or editing articles, reviews, and whatever long-form writing I give an LLM to review or edit, it's nice to know it'll keep my writing style, voice, and tone.

I'm already obligated to use LLMs at work, otherwise I might lose my job, so why wouldn't I want to have it write in a way I can actually understand?

I was an Ubuntu member for years; got a certificate from Mark Shuttleworth, a cool @ubuntu.com email and IRC cloak, contributed to Ubuntu a ton, gave public talks around Brazil in schools and events like Latinoware, ran a pretty successful blog about the distro here in Brazil, was co-leader of the LoCo team in my state. You could say I was very invested in Ubuntu.

Still, I can't recognize the distro anymore. We got ads, things being pushed down the community's throats, the insane hiring process, and so much more. I have very fond memories of my time as an Ubuntu member, and I wouldn't be where I'm today if it wasn't for what I did as a member, but I left years ago when all of this started.

Been using openSUSE ever since. I don't contribute to openSUSE as I did Ubuntu, as I don't have the time anymore, but the decisions are sound, the system works incredibly well and stable[1], and the voice of the community is heard by leadership. I'm pretty happy with the choice.

[1]: Heck, it works so well that I even run Tumbleweed, a rolling release distribution, on servers.

I built that package exactly to stop copying code from project to project.

Not because of the copy itself, since a little copy is better than a little dependency, as they say, but because it was a pain to update everything when I inevitably found a bug in what I copied.

I’m hoping for the answer to be wrong and for it to support it. Otherwise, I have no reason to upgrade.

I wonder if this one will finally support full Dolby Atmos? I mean, the full 7.1 TrueHD profile instead of the streaming apps 5.1 one.

Nice! Got any screenshots?

I didn’t, indeed. But I just looked and didn’t quite like the design, so it doesn’t seem to be what I’m looking for.

Still, better than Goguma for iOS as far as design goes. I wonder how the features compare through, as Goguma is the gold standard, akin to Conversations for XMPP.

I have been using SourceHut’s IRC client to access it for a while, but never quite found a good iOS client, since Goguma is just the Android client compiled for iOS.

I wonder if I can find the time to build a native iOS IRC client that follows Liquid Glass, and works as well as Goguma. Not many people would use it, but it’d scratch my own itch, as they say.

The protocol is so simple[1] that it shouldn’t take that long or be that hard[2], I think.

[1]: Which is the beauty of it, ofc.

[2]: Famous last words.

Same here, I built their search into my Home Assistant MCP toolbox, and couldn’t be happier.

As far as I know that is correct; the kernel was written in a way such that one bad source doesn’t poison the pool. Still, if you know one source is bad, might as well take it out.

If I remember correctly, we had a setting in every Linux server we owned to remove CPU as a RNG seeder for the kernel because of those bugs with AMD CPUs.

I.e., we had `random.trust_cpu=off nordrand` in `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX`.
