A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.

- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.

Install any distro and ignore the systemd/wayland/x11 debates
well, that's great until systemd implements age verification 🙃
(we use openrc on our Debian, you might not have to switch distros depending on which distro you pick, but don't install a totally different init system right out of the gate when you're new, it's a pain to set up (but fine once set up))
(for context: systemd just implemented a field to store birth dates in. Sure, it's optional... for NOW... but considering how fast they rushed to implement it, they'll probably rush to implement whatever surveillance crap any given government comes up with, too. And if we all let systemd get even more deeply entrenched...)

I’m surprised at the concerns about systemd adding this field, for most users that install their own systems, they’re usually the admin, so have total control over what that field will hold for any user. 1/1/1970? Who cares?
Oh it's not about what the field currently is. I don't think anyone's particularly worried about that
the issue is more about what's to come. It's shown that the systemd people rushed to acquiesce to at least one law like this, who's to say they won't do it the next time it gets a little more invasive? It's not like they had to do this, they're not a distro, they're just a system component. A system component that's been steadily digging deeper and deeper and trying to make itself harder and harder to remove.
(Also, let's let them ban Linux in California and just watch how fast the techbros freak out and lobby to get the law reversed. Just not complying is the better option here.)
It's a trust thing.
I'm not running away from most distros because somebody added a date field to a dataset somewhere
