Whereas Apple getting a leg up by BSD to compete against us all for basically no benefit for the FOSS good.

@joeress@mastodon.social @tubsta@social.bsdlab.au @latenightlinux@mastodon.social in fairness Linux will be less infested than the others and we can see it, unless Apple have announced they absolutely won't, but we'd also have to trust them, no doubt they'll call it iThought and therefore can pretend it's different and leave it undeclared.

Firefox 150 was defo made with ThePowerOfAI ™️ I have not had a more unreliable Firefox...ever I would say. Multiple tab crashes per day the whole browser has bombed out. Yes you could say the quality is now a Myth_os_. Terrible sorry. But the reliability has been shocking. Well done.

Anyway can we not just get on to the next hottness while this tyre fire is still going, Quantum! Quantum configs, where nothings quite what it seems, the service is both started and failed. Surely we must be in a __superposition__ to know where we stand then... #sorry #getMyCoat

Imagine not enjoying making music and being a musician. Who are these people and why are they bothering to unleash their effluent on our ears. Sigh. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XRTlHWnKdA8 #anyAnalogiesYouDrawAreYourOwn #nonTransformativeAnalogies

A very interesting talk for anyone thinking lawyers aren't looking at this Brave New World ™️ and seeing potential retirement goldmines... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvuiSgXfqc4

AI generated Code or Rewrites violate FOSS-Licences. Talk at FOSS Backstage Berlin

@swat no I am very sure the devs are very cool. Just the entire board seems to be the issue. So much money for so little value, unless you quantify the lost browser market share, they are pretty good at that!

@jimsalter yeah... these are just random crashes, search for a thing, visiting a youtube link, reloading said link 3 times untill 4rth time lucky. Looking at a random page for several minutes then randomly dying.

@jimsalter @fedops LOL has it ever... Ironically this is the first new install to a new drive with a copied over /home in about 10+years. It never did this before... I should have stayed with the old install. But yea I'm still blaming 150!

@jasonzelek yeah yeah enjoy your other problems. Plus not being able to live-migrate my tabs makes switching away highly improbable. Come back to me when the next big patch shitstorm hits too :)

@greenpete@sunny.garden I would imagine the intention is to effectively not have to play ball with FOSS licenses. Shudder to think someone would just contribute back etc.

@shaadra yeah hard to know, though I don't know whether I can rely on it either. I've heard some issues with HSTS errors on some custom domains. I do wonder long term how well all the FF forks will handle it, guess we'll see.

@rasmus91@fosstodon.org I have only vaguely used it so I am not giving it a fair evaluation, but for one not having an agent. SSH is awful. I wrote a shonky thing using SSH and py-expect in 2007 it feels very like my trying to beat that into submission... Saltstack does seem to have more power and those who know both well do seem to say that. 🤷‍♂️ ansible always felt a bit redhat NIH... but yeah maybe I'm being overly critical. Don't get me started on Saltstack and broken point releases though. So bad.
