Are they still closed source? If so, fuck em. This is only appealing to the Make Europe Great Again cucks who are willing to lock themselves into yet another walled garden just so they can claim "sovereignty"
The past two decades have proven that FOSS is the only way to obtain privacy and security. No borders necessary.
We are quickly back to the corporate MSFT that doesn’t listen to its users or employees. All that good will has been washed away and now I feel the need to switch off of Windows.
Please cite one example of Microsoft ever giving a fuck about users. Since their inception, Microsoft has always been about gaining as much leverage as possible in every business relationship, and then exploiting that leverage to the fullest. "Embrace Extend Extinguish" is a well documented example of that philosophy.
Anybody who still trusts Microsoft is dumb, or too young to have been really screwed over yet.
Seriously, STOP TRUSTING MICROSOFT. No matter how much the tech industry evolves, that rule is ironclad. It has even outlived Moore's Law.
Time to coin a new term. The "bus factor" is the risk of a critical maintainer being hit by a bus. We need one now for the risk of them developing chatbot psychosis/brainrot.
Thank fuck I switched to Zsh
I don't get it, are knives illegal in Italy? What if I want to cut my spaghetti?
when now-XLibre developer Enrico Weigelt was making a lot of changes to the codebase that then ended up with a lot of that code being later reverted.
Looked this guy up, and apparently he's a right wing anti-vax nutjob who got yelled at by Linus Torvalds for spreading misinformation on the kernel mailing list.
Why do we have people like this?
I'm a full time senior dev using the shit out of LLM’s, to get things done at a neck breaking speed
I'm not saying you're full of crap, but I smell a lot of crap. Who talks like this unironically? This is like hearing someone call somebody else a "rockstar" or "ninja".
If you really are breaking necks with how fast you're coding, surely you must have used this newfound ability to finally work on those side projects everyone has been meaning to work. Those wouldn't be covered under NDA.
Edit: just to be clear, I'm not anti-LLMs. I've used them myself in a few different forms, and although I didn't find them useful for my work, I can see how they could be helpful for certain types of work. I definitely don't see them replacing human engineers.
Drew Devault is a controversial personality, but his article on this topic has a good summary of the facts: https://drewdevault.com/2025/10/22/2025-10-22-Whats-up-with-FUTO.html
Wayback machine has captures from 2021 and it just looks like an abandoned WordPress site... So yeah, probably malware.
Wtf are you doing OP?
Everyone knows that memory safety isn't the only source of security vulnerabilities (unless you're bickering about programming languages on the internet, in which case 100% of security vulnerabilities are related to memory safety)
Rust users are one of Rust's biggest weaknesses.
What kind of work do you do? Every time I read stuff like this, I find it hard to believe, but maybe the code/languages/frameworks I'm using just aren't as easy for LLMs as what other people are using. The results I've had trying to get it to write C++ have been atrocious.
I'm not against AI code assistance, and I like keeping an open mind. For the moment though, the only success I've had is with using it to explain some feature or API faster than manually looking up the documentation. But actually reading the docs, I've found, helps me remember things better.
I also remember when it got taken over by new management with the promise of improving things. That was a couple of years ago IIRC, and it's still a septic tank of advertisements and download countdowns.
