You can write slow and inefficient software in any language
Yes, but you can’t write snappy fast software in any language, high level languages like python, lua and php carry alot of overhead from the get go, because of dynamic typing, heavy abstractions, and heavy garbage collectors.
Best I got is even if the main kernel is tainted, there are some other aspects that aren’t tainted or as tainted.
Won’t be long before everything getting merged into the kernel is AI slop
won’t be long before they get transformed into shopping centers. or convention halls! they are empty most of the time, and the small community ones are getting closed.
Sovereignty ? Anyone ?
The EU construction is a joke, a more efficient way to serve the globalist elites and mega-corpos and circumvent scrutiny and accountability by national parliaments.
They can make more money selling fewer items for higher prices. As long as there are people who can buym the prices will go up. Even the Chinese chip contenders are selling under performing products for the same or higher prices than the established ones.
When you have no counter arguments you resort to distorting my points. I didn’t say it’s ukraine’s fault. Like I said you sure are not struggling, if your most important concern is who is in control of the world’s 20% grain supply. Let’s ask those people about who should be in control of that supply and see if it is one of the concerns as well.
Maybe before calling people stupid get out of your confortable bubble and meet them where they are at:
According to the red cross, 11 million french people can’t feed themselves properly and are skipping meals.
The number of uni students relying on food banks to feed themselves is close to a majority
Unemployment among the youth is at records high, never have the youth been disenfranchised about their future
This year is the second year in a series where purchasing power keeps shrinking, and the government can’t subsidize salaries anymore
Because of the war in Ukraine, french defense spending is exploding and is expected to be double of that before the war, eating away from the budget that could otherwise be oriented to lifting salaries and improving social services
Tomorrow 17 Oct is the expected return of the Jillets Jaunes. Big Protests all over the country, with people of all walks of life to protest against the cost of living.
The list is way bigger and I know that most of your entitled opinions don’t care about the realities of other people’s lives. but your indignation won’t change the realities of people’s lives and them putting their interests first.
According to a feb 2026 survery only 47% of French people agree to continuing military support for Ukraine.
And according to the recent presidential elections polls, the parties that advocate for a prompt end of the war and cutting military support to Ukraine account for 55% of the total intentions of the vote.
Marine le Pen : 34%
Melenchon: 15%
Fabien Roussel: 2.4%
Nicolas Dupont Aingan: 2.3%
In short you must brace for the reality that sentiment towards continual military support is turning against Ukraine, and in times of financial hardships people tends to favor their immediate interests rather than a hypothetical future threat.
Linux still has the advantage of not coming packed with trackers and spy software. But who knows what the future holds? maybe the ai agents will sneak in some backdoors purposefully.
Big corporations are already the ones paying his salaries, the biggest contributors to the Linux foundation, they have been steering it for a long time to focus on the server needs of Linux. I guess the Linux foundation stance on ai is there to guarantee the flow of money from those corporations doesn’t dry-up.
Linux maintainers stand on this is basically : our ai generate slop is good but yours is questionable
At what point should we start considering that the kernel maintainers and developers don’t even understand what they are adding to the project ??
What I see in ai projects these days is huge commit size changes many files at once, where the people behind those commit don’t have a single clue what is being added or changed.
What does this even mean ? Peter explain the joke !
it won’t be able to challenge Visa and MasterCard if it isn’t available internationally. European businesses also need ways for foreigners to pay for their services.
I was watching bewitched! which was made in the 60s and was amazed how clear the sound was and how articulate the actors were.
I wonder what would be the effect of wrapping the car with holographic paper on those flock cameras.
What the article doesn’t mention is that a year ago CGTrader introduced a pay to rank feature. meaning if creators want their products to show up in search results they will have to pay to rise up above the junk. they have allowed AI content to pollute the platform so they can can make even more profit
CGTrader is a cancerous company. They have implemented every feature they can think of to screw their creators, and increase their profit margins on the back of the hard working 3d artists :
1- After becoming one of the biggest 3d markets (I think 2nd) they have lowered creator’s share from sales from 70% to 60%
2- They have allowed 3d generated trash to be sold along side human created content taking away traffic from creators
3- They have introduced a pay to to rank for products. meaning on top of the 40% share they are taking, now they expect creators to pay to have a chance for their products to show up in a very crowded maket
4- 5 Out of 7 days of the week. CGTrader is running sales, with the lowest discount on weekends being 30 % and on weekdays being 50%. Creators who don’t opt-in to those sales shouldn’t hope to receive any views to their products. they are pressuring prices down because they can earn more on volume. while mid sized creator shops take the loss.
5- They are introducing subscriptions akin to spottily. If most customers switch into subscriptions instead of buying single product, than creator’s revenue will quickly crater
6- Now the Cherry on the top : they have introduced the option for users to directly generate AI 3d models. trained on the millions of models the platform is hosting. Despite providing the option to opt-out products from ai training, it is hard to trust such a greedy company to honor creators choice. especialy when no one has access to the training data set and no independent company has made an audit.
Since CGTrader introduced all these changes my revenue went down 65% compared to before.
If you care about human created content and creator’s agency. avoid buying from CGTrader and TurboSquid ,most creators have their products listed elsewhere. and if you buy from their own shops the creators will receive a bigger share cutting out these cancerous middlemen.
Does this mean there will be people going to prison ? cause I doubt it!
