@wwahammy can't say. What I mean there's a simple technical way to coerce distros rather than a complicated legal one.

I want everyone who says "this is the law, distros need to comply" I want you to explain a plausible set of circumstances to lead to the following: -

Currently main Linux distros are graciously allowed to boot by Microsoft letting them use Microsoft-signed binary for the Secure Boot process. California AG could just facilitate uhm "cease of continuation" of this practice.

It's not entirely new; but, with the rampant proliferation of #LLM usage in software, I'm not exactly thrilled(actually, I'm very annoyed) in having to re-evaluate my personal heirarchy of trust when it comes to the computing that I use daily.@mrmasterkeyboard @kevinbowen I say, it's not about 100% purity, but rather about effort: as long as you want to keep the code better by hand, you'll eventually find what's bad and fix it.
(And anyway, I'm not really a heavy vim user, I was just referring a friend

And more importantly, people responsible for things change. So once in a while one has to expect to build new habits and find new people to trust. Which sucks when you have to do it, but it could probably be looked at as an opportunity. Because not every change has to be a bad one

I guess I'll be re-evaluating my tool usage as well, but so far I haven't stumbled on any aishittification.

Got an example?

I'm mad about linux distros again today and I think I am realizing why this is so hard for me to write about systemically: I have a software engineer brain and so I try to model the various problems as technical problems.@glyph my thinking was always that it's fine to have a gazillion distributions, but I'd prefer one of them to clearly win. And for that they need to care about the whole stack: from hardware to apps (like Apple). Canonical was in this position, but Mark Shuttleworth very clearly said they were not interested in hardware. @elementary does seem to care about the whole stack, but they lack resources. System76 does hardware + desktop, but not the apps…

Basically, you're advocating for abandoning the core motivation (or one of the main ones anyway) for tinkering around the free code.

If you should ever find yourself with a lower leg injury that requires you to be non-weightbearing, try to get your hands on an iWALK knee crutch.@munificent wishing you a speedy recovery!
