You’re implying I am in need of security (I am not), and that security without AI is not achievable. I say hogwash if the user is willing to make adjustments to their digital hygiene.

This exactly! I don’t understand how one would let an LLM touch their passion projects. I don’t mind someone quickly slopping together a little python script for something, but I would never let it touch my babies. It’d be like buying a self-assembling lego set. Sure the end result is the same, but is the end result why someone buys a lego set?

A better tomorrow starts with YOU.

Me personally, I’d get a burner smartphone in a drawer just for banking that is on airplane mode 24/7 except when I need it for banking and use a dumbphone for everything else. Also, I run linux and I have strict control over my router and I have ZERO subscriptions and creditcards. It’s not much but it’s something. Beats blindly rimming apple and alphabet.

Sometimes my cat comes asking me for food, we go visit his bowl, it’s not empty, he eats, and then comes thanking me for the food. Euh, ok you’re welcome I guess.

Jim, did I ever tell you when I was studying genetics at Med school, I crossed Elton John with a sabre tooth tiger. I had to fight tooth and nail to keep it away from my ass.

Been misgendered as “egg” too many times. No, I’m nb, but thanks for implying I’m something I’m not.

This mentality is so gross. “Well might as well roll over and get pounded in the A by big corpo! what else am I going to do, right? Hehe!”

I feel your pain. Hang in there!

All the cool people are leaving reddit and coming here, leaving only dumb people and LLM “agents”.

It’s probably more because I don’t allow telemetry and I doubt I’m alone.

Agreed. “Thank you for your service?” No, fuck you and your imperialist bullshit.

I want to see AI turn boring white male game protagonists into awesome POC ladies!

yeah we dutchies got our own killswitches and madmen ready to push the button

You don’t need no windows for no gaming, this isn’t 2015 jesus

You don’t need passkeys if you don’t have anything important to steal, or any accounts on anything you would feel sad to lose. Just cancel all your subscriptions and sail the high seas! Nobody likes you anyway!

Assuming my wife would be gone so I’d probably grieve for a very long period. Or is there a way to go back? Or is she there too? MARIE??? WHERE ARE YOU MARIE???

If people are gonna try NetBSD, please be aware of the “sysinst” command, it makes starting out a lot easier.

That’s a lie, you simply run “sysinst” and select “install pkgin” from a curses menu. sysinst can also help you setup a wifi connection and other basic user config things from the comfort of a TUI. But good job in trying to scare people of from trying a good alternative OS.

Yep, and there’s plenty of reasons to dislike AI besides not being able to write Greg on a t-shirt.
