       @mwl Fun fact: I was in a meeting earlier today with a VP, a senior director, and a senior engineering director. About AI. And how these stooges wanted to deploy it within $MEGACORP.So, yeah, there are three 'U's in "shut the fuck up".

       I heard* that the next Red Hat will have 'AI Command Line Assistance' (whatever that is) and, F* that S* I am out.Seriously, I am out. Red Hat and ANY OTHER Linux distro that tries that stunt can effing go to hell. I was going to post something funny here, but this is last nail in the coffin of a once great open source company.Either you are selling a bash-completion++ package or you are polluting an OS with an LLM. Either way, not a good look.(* h/t to Slashdot: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/26/05/20/203252/rhel-102-released-with-new-ai-command-line-assistance)

       @GayDeceiver Listen, I like a bit of science-fiction just as much as the next guy, but you have to remember that this is the kind of technology that gave you (and me) immortal hits such as a tomato and super glue pizza recipe, people with 16 fingers on each hand, proving there are no countries in Africa with 'K' in their names (and the list goes on).I am way more afraid of mosquitoes and whoever is in the White House right now than I am of 'AI'.

       It's BITTER-FS not 'butterfs' and certainly not 'betterfs'.Bitter, because that is the kind of taste it will leave in your mouth after it mangles your root file system beyond all hope of recovery.For the 3rd time this week. And it's only Wednesday night at 4am. When you pronounce the fs FUBAR.Ask me how I know.

       Today, in great dialogues at work:- Them: Why should we reinstall $SYSTEM before connecting to $EXTREMELY_SENSITIVE_NETWORK?- Me: Because.- Them: ...- Me: ...- Them: ...- Me: What?- Them: Elaborate?- Me: OK, because you let consultants run amok on this system right after install, like rabid ferrets on cocaine, because your programmers are dumb as bricks and the network config is not compatible with your network?- Them: uh...- Me: I mean, it's your network, and your audit, guys.

       @benjancewicz I am sorry, but I don't think anyone wants to know. I mean, just take a look at what he has done to the White House so far...

       @stux That's really insulting to a lot of decent, honest and hard-working parasites out there, but I get your point.
