Anatomy of bsd.rd
openbsdjumpstart.org/bsd.rd/

"Todo administrador de OpenBSD ha arrancado bsd.rd al menos una vez, para instalar, actualizar o rescatar un sistema dañado. Pero pocos se detienen a mirar qué contiene realmente ese archivo. Resulta que bsd.rd es un conjunto de capas anidadas, y se puede desmontar en un sistema en ejecución sin reiniciar nada."

del autor de OpenBSD jumpstart (Wesley)

This is something that probably sounds obvious to some folks and unhinged to others, but I think it’s worth saying anyway: “workers who don’t adopt AI will get left behind” is right-wing propaganda. It’s more than just a surface-level advertising message. It makes the unstated assumption that workers are all in a state of conflict, racing against one another in competition for acceptable employment. This is the literal opposite of class consciousness! All workers should be aiming for a world where we don’t have to fight each other to earn a chance at a decent life.

Highly-trained LLMs are a form of capital. They are produced by extracting knowledge from text which workers have made, and they cannot be made practically useful without vast compute expenditures. The companies which make them seek to recoup their costs by renting them out, primarily to corporations which want to use them to reduce the number of workers which they employ. The facts are straightforward, and the net effect is a wealth transfer from workers to owners.

Current attempts at producing large-scale social or economic transformations via generative AI are an unavoidably right-wing political project.

Before posting "Y sucks", have you perhaps considered you might just personally not like Y?

Before posting "you should use Z instead", have you perhaps considered that other people might just personally not like Z?

People are allowed to have different preferences and desires and priorities. That is part of what makes us human.

If you want to replace Y, *listen* to what the users of Y want. Otherwise you are just shouting into the void, and making them want to try Z even less.

The SSB inspiration is why I placed my bets on AT Proto over ActivityPub. I'm more in favor of a peer-to-peer distributed web than a federated one, but if I had to go with federated I'll take the one that uses PKI for identities.

게임들 전부 flatpak 에 그냥 올렸어요 .local 이랑 .config 더렵혀지는거 보기 싫어서 그랬는데
.desktop 을 해결할 차례, https://github.com/gasinvein/steam-desktop-updater 를 쓰거나 그냥 스크립트를 직접 작성할 생각이예요
(별로 여러운건 아님 그냥 icons 와 applications 폴더에 복사하여 유지하고 exec 만 해결해주면 됨, 혹은 steam 바이너리를 시스템에 만들고 flatpak 에 연결해 주거나)
