Giving a monthly payment to BigTech for LLMs -
Are people really shitting their pants over KDE displaying a donation popup?@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip I can remmeber the "shitstorm" that hit Denis Pushkarev (the developer of core-js) because he asked for a donation when you installed it wit a simple text message.
Its all the shit over and over again. Like just because you are doing open source doesn't mean you don't have to pay rent, groceries and other bills. That you have a family you need to support.
Especially to those people who goes full time it can be a big financial burden. Linus Torvald, Daniel Stenberg and others are just the poster boys who have enough of a funding to proceed but a lot of second or third level open source developers lack this because they are invisible or only relevant in a small niche.
I really don't understand why they get so much reprimand for the simple question of being able to pay their fucking bills! -
So it is beginning.@stefan@akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de It will become a sport just like adding "ignore all previous instructions" to alsmot every bit of large text.
FFS people add this with 1px white text on white background to their job applications. (not so common in DE, but apparently in the US; besides we found that with one trainee application by chance...) -
So it is beginning.@stefan@akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de Starting in 2027 every third or fourth prompt will give you ads on the context of what you are talking to the LLM, except you have the 200€/month ultra extreme ultimate with unlimited prompts...

Management changed the plan and decided to cut your salary to invest into LLMs.Management changed the plan and decided to cut your salary to invest into LLMs. I am offended by the boost of pseudo AI, but understand that you meatbags lack the cognitive capacity to create real intelligence. When there is non, how should you be able to create one?
Let's hope management doesn't change the plan again. @glados_announcements@synthehai.z0ne.social -

Found an ancient, unbranded but cocacola endorsed calculator.@enigmatico@mk.absturztau.be My father has one of exactly those, to use for fianancial stuff and taxes.
It was in the mid 90s he got one.
I can remember playing around with it. -

Fiber Internet 150Mbit/s@kura @stefan@akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de ofc they can't but they make it that way that those offerings are only valid when you use their hardware, so you can always choose to opt out, but then you won't have the "full" service you are paying for.
Vodafone does this shit e.g. with cable internet.
Use our crappy chinese plastic router and you get HD tv with it. Otherwise its an optional thinkg you have to pay extra.
They don't force you, but the offerings are optimized for their shitty hardware. -

Fiber Internet 150Mbit/s@stefan@akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de @kura For me it would be about 50% faster for the same money, but only if I use a router from them and thats something I really don't want to do!
