From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Privacy focused ChatGPT in you terminal (programming.dev)

so, about a month ago i stumbled upon the duckduckgo ai chat feature and wrote an article about how private their APIs are, and a few weeks after, a CLI client.

the thing is in a pretty mature stage now (its not like there is a lot of work to be done there tbh)

its not super private, but it is "private enough". the only thing duckduckgo has is your IP, which is usually not much unless you are on a residential connection with a dedicated IP

I've run across AI content in non-AI subs before and responded with similar things fully expecting to be downvoted to Earth's core and was pleasantly surprised at how few downvotes and how many upvotes I got. So I've made a habit of calling out AI stuff in non-AI communities when I run across it. (Unless it's actually strongly related to the purpose of the community it's posted in.)

This is at least the third time I've made such a comment, and the first time I've seen a negative net score for more than a few minutes after I posted. Still, it's pretty evenly split even on this one. Maybe most of the down-voters just don't want anything negative said about "AI". (Like cryptobros will deem anything "bearish" to be "FUD".) Who knows.

And there are places for engaging in mouth-foaming AI bubble hype indulgence on Lemmy. I just don't want the communities I like inundated with tons of AI PR posts.

Tbh I don’t really concern myself with getting unjustifiably dogpiled by downvotes every once in a while. Aggregate post karma is effectively meaningless on lemmy.
