But those aren’t the only two options. For people who only care deeply about one issue, if neither candidate is on your side, many will just stay home.

That was intentional. They were trying to word the announcement to not make it sound like you’re now getting 1/5-1/9 as much AI for the same price.

I love that their email made it sound like it was a wash, like “we’re just changing our billing model, you’ll get credits now, samesies!” but then this pricing chart buried 3-levels down from the announcement lays out just how much less you’re going to get for the same price.

I wonder about all the startups who were bragging about their $10k/month AI coding bills being the best money they ever spent. When this new pricing kicks in and pushes it to $40k/month right around the time all the vibe-coded shit blows up their codebase, I wonder if they’ll still be so happy with their choices.

I interviewed for a place a while back and started asking about quality and velocity and how they balance it with AI developer tools, he said something like “One of our developers closed 400 PRs last month” and I instantly knew it was definitely not the place for me.

This dude thinks aspirin causes autism but then complains we’re not approving enough drugs. That tapeworm really did a number on this guy.

I liked ly, they changed at some point to not allow me to type in any username, had to select from list of valid users and it didn’t list AD users. No amount of futzing could get it working so I switched to lemurs. Just mentioning it as another good console-based-login option

For arch… generally if there’s a core/extra official package, there can be alternatives in the AUR that list the system package as a “provides” alias.

From a quick AUR search, the systemd-liberated-git package is already up there. To replace systemd you’d install the AUR package which would tell you it conflicts with the official/core systemd package and ask if you wanted to replace it. If the package maintainer has everything right, it should just work.

Personally I’ll wait to see if a viably stable and well-maintained fork of systemd without age stuff shows up and switch once it sounds problem-free(ish).

Arch everywhere. LTS kernel on servers and zen kernel on desktop and laptop. I love the idea of nixos but in practice it felt like more work than it was worth (to me).

I originally did Debian on servers but after using arch for long enough and never having stability problems, it was easier to move to the same distro.

I think they’re saying before developers started using AI to write the code, not that there are ai features in vim.

Shithole #1

Yeah, and the drama of bcachefs getting booted from the kernel was pretty painful to watch, just that he seemed like a guy struggling with things and unable to function. Not that the linux kernel mailing list and development process is easy or low-stress, but it was pretty obvious he was fighting a losing battle and just couldn’t stop making things worse. I don’t know why I feel bad for the guy but I hope he has some people around him to get some help.

Yeah, they’re doing the right thing here as a PR move, they may have known about the shady bullshit or they might not have but if they didn’t I bet they didn’t even ask or care in any way.

Still time to find discord alternatives, luckily the landscape of alternatives seems a bit better than I expected.
