I don't control your thinking nor do I care, you're free to project your fobias and traumas on everyone else.

Why do you expect me to spend even more time to laboriously show you examples of the slop? The other comment already did, I only engage with the actual work, I wasted too much time on it already.

Better luck next time. Oh, and a free advice, when someone rejects something you posted, a thing, immaterial, and you recoil with personal attacks at anyone who didn't like it, this is one of the ways you show it's not worth investing more effort into discussing with you or your agents.

I read people's work, I stop reading AI slop that people say it's their work.

I didn't say I skimmed your comments, no need to lie if you don't have a good response.

You're too enraged people expect some baseline quality from whatever you post. Why is that so much?

I used CF Wrkers because I wanted to try serverless(1) - I just needed a tiny https proxy for one of my personal scripts and.... It turned out to be super fun.

And no surprise bills.

(1) after my earlier experience with AWS lambda - almost no traffic (few requests per day), on free trier and YET I had to pay for the add-on they automatically added (and it took me almost 2 hours to find all the rhizomes that were proudly anticipating another few £ for pretty much zero traffic).

Its enough to skim far enough to see it's just slop.

I don't need to eat entire bowl of the burnt soup with flys floating in it to know its a burnt soup with insects in it.

LOL, you could at least write your comments yourself.

I said I didn't read (so much for the big gitcha) because if its not designed for human consumption that means it's not worth human time.

I bet someone actually respecting their audience will present findings in a way that's.... palatable, for the lack of the better word.

(I spent some time commenting to add a voice of disagreement for enshittification of the publishing part of the internet. I'm entitled to it as much as you feel entitled to posting your comments)

If you can't take a constructive critique of something you posted..... maybe don't post so you'll remain happy?

I hope you can take your own advice?

Take care!

Absolutely not.

If someone vomits the slop that must be fed to a robot to make sense of it, even if there's something of value.

It's just so rude, like a professor entering the class, emptying a carton box full of papers on the floor, flipping a bird and leaving without a word.

It's possible there's something good in it.

As a sysadmin and a former enemy of systemd it's actually pretty good overall, simplifies a lot of things.

If the privacy reasons are driving you, see if you can find fixes to these issues without getting rid of systemd.

People choose to commit atrocities in the name of the famous holy books - you either support banning them as well or concede there's something more to it.

LOL. This is not what I was commenting on. Unless their process starts with "never disclose the existence of this program, force the qualifying candidates to stumble upon it by accident"

I hope it's even clearer now.

I don't think having to rely on the anonymous person's advice on a random forum would make me even less keen to trust Anthropic is right to me.

They raised it with Anthropic and were met with silence (as usual), not advice to join the programme.

Yesno.

Sure they have their own time servers fed from the GPS, but they need to be _accurate_ in relation to the world.

But timestamps used by companies forced to use very accurate timing must be synchronised to UTC.

Yeah, but we're thinking of systems where nanoseconds matter.

MiFID 2 alone forces sub-μs precision. Million times less than the leap 1 second.

NTP minute away is good for displaying date on the workstation, not for many of the devices that are critical to the modern world.

I'd love to love it but this AI generated post made me gag, sorry. I'll pass, takeaway from that is different than expected.

If it's not worth writing, it's not worth reading.

Fruit of love and passion for the hobby, I guess.

After 3 months.

Maintainers ignored the issue for 3 months until their own automation closed it. It wasn't a rogue github bot.

This is such a mixed message.

> Around 13 million children say they use it for learning or homework. More than 2 million — one in ten of those surveyed — turn to AI for personal advice when facing difficult situations.

Almost like they were let down by grownups or tried to learn about the world.

Shocking.

(That isn't to say there aren't risks but the posted article is weird, almost like haphazardly tried to summarize and "explain" a message.

>> This is not true. I can build Signal from source from GitHub

> Sure, but can you find an NSA-designed backdoor in the source code?

You're moving the goalpost. They were responding to the claim suggesting it's impossible to get non-Signal provided signal.

>> you can get it once and disable autoupdates

> Try doing that with Signal, and you'll be unable to connect to the main network in just a few days because you get out of sync.

That's demonstrably false. On one of my idle/backup phones I'm using Signal 8.8.2, released in April 2026, almost 3 full months ago. It can not only connect to the network but everything works, with every contact.

You might think of the official Signal client expiration, but that's client side (meaning that you can compile and use the version that doesn't have it) and..... 90 days, not "a few".

I don't have a concrete number for the server side of enforcement though (minimumVersions seems to be populated at start time, with the defaults not committed to the repo). It's not entirely unreasonable to assume that the lowest official supported version is the one that introduced the concept of usernames, and the only meaningful capability test is SPQR.

> Also, what do you do if there's a high severity CVE on the program? You still don't update or you re-audit all the new code?

I think disabling auto update was shown as a possible strategy against a silent, targeted auto update. Not a way to remain protected against the general CVEs.

Non sequitur.

And this is the only way to set the charging limit on your laptop, which is awful practice.

Oh, and of course it's so bad, that if you once uninstalled it, you need a special cleanup software which may or may not work, but most likely you're done and can't install instgain.

All to set the charging level which, say, Framework exposes in BIOS.

I know there are some Linux-based ways that are supposed to safely write the threshold to EC, but none worked in my case (reasonably new model, supported by every piece of Linux-based software I checked), and one of them flipped the VMD Controller support on, which makes my nvmes invisible to the installed OS.

Awful, terrible piece of software.
