Am I the only one worried about the future of #Linux on the desktop?
Recently there's been an ever faster evolution of tech regulation with no end in sight. Unfortunately lawmakers only know about locked down corporate/consumer platforms like iOS, Android, Windows. Isn't it only a matter of time until they legislate unlocked bootloaders and user-customizable OSs out of existence? All in the name of child protection (age verif.) or national security (chat control) or some other fad.

"Ooh, look, I'm running an illegal underground OS" might sound funny at first. But given all the enforcement by banking apps (Play Integrity & co.) and even streaming services (DRM)) that are already plaguing us now, I fear that we might get way more of this.
Just imagine a future similar to what we have now with cookies: (almost) every site operator trying to be legally safe by checking (somehow...) that the OS is unmodified and signed just to make sure their age check is compliant enough...

La guerra fa volare l'economia delle multinazionali

A che serve questa guerra in Iran? A far aumentare il prezzo del #petrolio. E chi ci guadagna? Le multinazionali petrolifere americane che possono vendere a prezzi maggiori. Infatti gli USA negli ultimi anni si sono trasformati nei più grandi esportatori di petrolio. Prima erano forti importatori e subivano i rincari petroliferi, oggi invece lo "shale oil" ha cambiato completamente le cose. Se vuoi saperne di più clicca qui

beh, io ci sono quasi, non vado mai in vacanza, preferisco farle a casa ;-)
So che ti sembrerà surreale, ma non sono mai stato fuori dall'Italia, non ho mai messo piede su un aereo e non lascio la Sardegna dal 1994 :-D

For those whose companies force AI adoption and use.
That's the same for me, but this proposal passed.
I explained things like this:
"OK, guys, we have a common performance goal to adopt and promote use of AI. In order to do so, we need to document our doings in an organised and meaningful way. We need to write markdown, we need to create mermaid and plantuml diagrams, we need to describe architectures and reasons why we did them, and we need to share this corpus of organized knowledge among us". This is paramount, otherwise we will get only what any LLM could output to anyone making the same question. We need context that is ours, and this context need to be available, cleaned of clutter, and thoroughly reviewed."
"Then, we will have won. Both if we decide to go full AI or not. But if we were able to gain some best-practice workflows for our work documentation, we will have increased our efficiency and stepped way ahead of any LLM for decades."
Do it for yourself and keep the source notes. Do it in #Markdown or plain text. Remove Microslop from your flows.
