I would not be surprised at all if pull requests would get charged at Github in future.

It's mostly conquered by agents, so it is pretty obvious continuation to the business narrative.

Let's see... :-)

AppImage also has signing:

https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/optional/signatures.html

One could build a robust and end-user familiar (i.e. macOS alike) app ecosystem with a CA.

I recently thought that Flatpak has been around long enough time and has built a mature system and I should use it more.

FP2 pretty much throws down the toilet all that growth in maturity. E.g., an for an app vendor it's not a platform to invest in. Just super dissapointed about recent changes because of just getting into using Flatpak :-)

This can't be real. I'd recommend to delete all your forks at Github.

It $0.29 AI bill because of a fork.

@thomasfuchs Claude composed text has started to distract me even more :-) It's immediately recognizable.

It seems also that AppImage in real reality is dominating given that it always tends to work...

Flatpak 2 has goals of making it more obsolete.

There's "AI psychosis". Maybe this is "cloud psychosis" i.e., everything is AWS workload. Sounds super impractical app format at least.

And it's not addressing end user needs, it's also similar to AI i.e., decrease R&D costs, which is charged from user experience.

@pinkforest I have systemd but there is no real engineering reason to lock in to systemd. Why they hate backwards compatibility is the bigger question.

I hope Flatpak 2 won't be as epic mistake as uutils was.

@lkundrak productivity comes also effective security measures, such as switching into all-bots SECOP. it's both more productive and secure and gives a company cash to buy more tokens.

right and be responsible and use the memory-safe rust programming language

@lkundrak for sure :-) and spending more tokens...

It's mind-bogling to think that billions of over-spending is based on productivity metrics such as number of pull requests. Almost feels like Valley companies were operated by OpenClaw :-) Maybe they are... and gstack of course...

@penguin42 hmmmm, I actually put it to CTRL-Z... then it's always "once prefix, twice stopped". what a life quality improvement ;-)

@penguin42 And CTRL-Q has the benefit most of the time to be mapped to exit(). So the worst case conflict scenario turns exit into "exit with confirmation" :-)

@penguin42 I used GNU screen before tmux and switching to CTRL-A was first thing I changed in configuration (I don't remember how many years ago but quite many :-))

And Q and A are side by side, which makes CTRL-Q more ergonomic choice than CTRL-B.

Have not thought about this before but it has been not been very ergonomic to have both QEMU's and tmux prefix key mapped to CTRL-A, so I mapped tmux to CTRL-Q.

One more thing and then I promise to move on :-)

When it comes to business and profit all I see is:

1. Steep increase of circulated debt backed only by hopes.
2. Constant reports of profilic companies loosing money due token maxxing.
3. Local LLM is getting better and also regular non-technical people have found tools such as LM Studio. SaaS has an expiration date.

SaaS companies paying back all that debt with purely B2B business, after the consumers are gone (and they will be gone) truly requires a leap of faith :-) They are so dead.

One business sector where AI has done huge wins is shitfluencer scene. Their number has at least quadrupled. Also, the vast majority of previous crypto currency influencers have now ingested AI as part of their portfolio.

I can't wait the ideas and inventions that will spun from this pool of amazing talent.

@pinkforest What industry does ATM is horrible to watch and that part I don't like at all. There is no such thing as AI skills.

@pinkforest Engineering-wise having snapshots of "all of your base" does not work. Brains have all of already dead Internet. This is what I think I think ...

I think world model based AI could potentially be better and more co-operative approach to AI. Then, AI does not know "everything" (from the past that no longer exist) but instead can do useful stuff like self-drive cars. Compute budget is of course taken from language side given that physical resources have their limits. And stuff that John Carmack is doing is interesting and I follow that a lot. And it addition to I do like the thinking of Yann LeCun and congnitive scientist Gary Marcus. Those three are my top tier in this domain in the positive sense of the word.

@pinkforest I try to not be in a camp because either way I get "under the influence". I measure,test and try to think what it means what I see. Yeah, and generally try to avoid making any fast conclusons :-) I'm not pressured to use them and I do have a stable job, so I thought it is good position make more serious security and threat analysis on LLMs (i.e. as an actor in a threat scenario, not scanning vulns using LLMs).
