BREAKING: #Canonical says it's going all in on #AI in #Ubuntu #Linux -- time to look for alternatives

They wrote a long post explaining their reasoning and plans. Lots and lots of words. Perhaps written by an AI. I wonder.

Still AI Slop.

I have like zero respect left for developers who use LLMs to write or maintain their software.

I don't even care for the reasons why they use this unethical piece of... technology.

Technology trained on data they don't own. Technology owned and shaped by fascists. Technology that sends its crawlers around the globe to suck every bit they can find to dump their models into big f***ing corp data centers. Data centers that are polluting the air with their big ass gas plants.

But hey! "Leave ethics aside". "That's how software development works today!".

I'm so sick of this and about everyone supporting this industry.

If you feel targeted, you are welcome. I have zero respect for you or your software garbage. I just wish you the worst.

If you use ed, bc, dc, sqlite3, or other line-oriented tools, take a look at rlwrap.

sh
rlwrap ed

Arrow keys, command history, Ctrl-R search, and readline editing for programs that never had those features.

One of those small Unix tools that's easy to overlook.
