Not sure about live HTML preview, but I ended up picking Gram as well, on my search for AI-free software. (By the way, I found open-slopware a good resource for this.) Someone else already mentioned it in this thread, but I wanted to add some context. Gram is a fork of Zed, which is built for and with AI. It is therefore already tainted, if that’s something you care about. However, I found the Manifesto neat. (It also has official support for Zig which is what I was looking for specifically at the time.)

Oh and I was also recommended Kate. I haven’t gotten to try it, but it could be an alternative worth considering.

Okay, so I lack the sources, so I ask others to please back me up; but isn’t this anything but settled law? There was something in the US but it was more of a recommendation than a law, and will have to be tested in court. Also, Codeberg is hosted in Germany, so its laws would apply there.

Aaaand you entirely missed the point I made.

We’re past the point where you can pretend AI doesn’t have multiple massive negative impacts. Sure, your individual use is not a problem on its own. But the models you used had to be trained. Future models need to be trained. And that cost must also be considered in each of your queries. You’re still participating in normalizing and justifying the existence of AI. All while they extract value from you and others they never got permission from.

Well, I guess we’ll just see who was right in 20 years when we’re overwhelmed by the flood of climate caused migration while at the same time having lost the ability to have any independent thought.

What if I do have the chops to quality check and actually do treat Claude like a junior coder?

When you have an actual junior coder, they learn over time, including from their mistakes, until they’re a senior coder that can do the same for others. When you’re “treating Claude like a junior coder”, you’re just cleaning up after a mostly unchanging system. See also this article by a Zig contributor.

And having AI do annoying tasks (which you then need to double-check if correct anyway) you’re missing out on the opportunity to get better at problem solving by skipping the part where you find a programmatic solution, even if it’s a one-time thing. (Though when you work on an open source project, it’s nice if others can verify how you got to your solution in the first place.)

I found it interesting how he gets even charged for cancelling the service!

The explanation I found before is that you can pay for yearly subscription that is of course cheaper but still pay monthly. The cancellation fee is for the remaining unpaid months. Or something like that.

My comment was about AUR packages tho. Heck, the entire thread is.

Have you actually tried installing packages onto SteamOS (with readonly disabled)? Because system packages will be out of date with mainline Arch, which is already a bad idea on a rolling-release distro, and on top of that they are stripped from important stuff required to build other packages from source. It’s been a hot minute (> 1 year) so I forget if it was symbols or what exactly, but my point is the same: SteamOS should not be treated as an Arch system where you can expect additional (official or user) packages to work.

From my experience, installing (especially building) AUR packages on SteamOS is practically impossible, because of how stripped down SteamOS is.

What We Learned Building a Self-Hosted Speech Translation Platform

Okay, but… what did you actually learn? Your post doesn’t go into it, and the links just go to the repository. (That’s a long README, by the way.) And a question lingers on my mind since it’s important to me personally: You use AI for the translating tech, of course, but how much AI is involved in the other parts of the project? (Such as code, documentation, testing, marketing posts like this one, …)

People use this community, among other things, to stay informed about what’s happening with open source software. rsync, possibly among the top 0.1% of software used for system administration in Linux land, starting to use AI in its development is certainly noteworthy. Linking to an issue where people can voice their (anti-AI) opinion, contained within that one issue, is hardly worth getting upset over. Unless… you know… you’d rather people stand by and let it happen.

I think it’s better to try and convince the developers to pivot away from AI. Only if that doesn’t work out, does it make sense to consider a fork. Forks do mean more work overall, still done for free, and the new maintainers will not have the same experience, as you said yourself.

Yeah, but it had a locked bootloader before that. So I was just adding that some phones have a procedure for that. (I had to get a unique unlock code from the Fairphone website, as far as I remember.) Not many, but they exist.

Well, to be fair, I did in the past unlock my Fairphone’s bootloader, and then re-lock it as per the iodéOS instructions. But, presumably, that only works with certain devices and certain OSes?
