FUCK OFF with your “THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT TO CW” bullshit!
We told you how bad it’s gonna be.
We told you the impact of it.
We told you all the tech corps will be complicit.
We told you they are facists!
Don’t come screaming on my lawn only because it took YOU until now to realize what is happening.
I cannot afford to stay uninformed anyway, but if I shall function somewhat as a normal human being, I need to be able to decide when I am engaging with this. And I don’t even live in that fucking country and this is the effect this has on me!
Put a fucking CW on your fucking post.
(Boost if you agree.)

Not sure if her account is still active here, but I have always enjoyed @nprofile…ggsz ‘s videos even though my coding background couldn’t be more different.
They are just as much a work of art than they are educational. You can tell she is very passionate about her work.
Her newest video however is different, it talks about AI. It is less about AIs horrific environmental impact or how exactly it pushes creators out of their jobs, instead many parts of the video come from a rather emotional viewpoint.
And I think we don’t talk about that part enough. She encapsulates much better than I could ever formulate, why this particular tech hype makes me feel much more hopeless than the previous ones and why it feels just so destructive. https://youtu.be/-opBifFfsMY
The magical place I remember the internet to have been growing up, got lost more and more in the last decade. But AI is out to destroy what remains of it, replacing every corner with dystopian late stage capitalism.

@nprofile…gknz Feel free to invite me to the stardust channel or just dm me.
Regarding the uber-repo: I really like just, if all you need is chaining together commands. It is exactly what people abuse Makefiles for.
If you need something more complex I’d suggest a proper build system. Even just using make has better ways to express dependencies.

@nprofile…gknz Uff, uhh, let me try to answer this in a toot, but I feel like chatting on matrix about this might be easier.
1. cosmic’s uber repo containing submodules of all the components with a single install script worked very well for the beginning. I highly recommend trying to setup something similar, if you haven’t already.
2. systemd-sysext is good for a quick testing environment. It makes /usr read-only though, so you might want to rather setup building with something like Envision?
3. Cosmic gets packaged by contributors from various communities, we actually don’t do anything but Pop!_OS. I guess the packaging story for all the components like monado might not be that great yet? :neocat_laugh_sweat: So I don’t really recommend that route in short term, but long term that is where you wanna be. Might be difficult to get people interested though.

@npub1u8f…04ee Sending *hugs*, if wanted.
I hope you already found an alternative route?

Headed to #UbuntuSummit, might have a few little surprises for the #COSMICDE talk (that is if the #DB wifi allows me to finish them on the way).

@npub12f7…lkxh I’d love to hear your take on the recoloring though, seeing you enabled the experimental settings. ;)
