  1. I wonder how much of Python popularity is because it is installed by default in all major Linux distros. This effect is identical to "windows popularity is partly because it is installed by default on most laptops and computers and people don't bother to change them".

    This effect have been also observed in Steam Deck where it is shipped with Arch+Plasma, but users can install Windows if they want to. But a big majority don't. I remember @joeress mentioned this in an episode of #LateNightLinux

  6. @felimwhiteley I appreciated the vehemence of your position on AI coding tools as expressed on today's #LateNightLinux: latenightlinux.com/late-night-

    Are you aware if @degville and Will (is he on the Fediverse?) have read any of Ed Zitron's exhaustive analysis¹ of the completely insane ways in which the leading LLM coding assistant companies are setting money on fire? For each dollar subscribers spend, the LLM companies are subsidising by up to $15. The business model is unsustainable. We're looking at a scam on a scale similar to FTX.

    (Lastly, these arguments aren't pointless, as the shownotes lament. The future is not fixed. We must resist the deskilling of our craft and the inevitability narrative pushed by the deeply unpleasant people behind this technology.)

    Head of the Late Night Linux Family of podcasts. I mostly get paid to talk to my friends about computers which is nice. It seems I was radicalised by basic decency.

    Also borrowed some time to shovel snow for an hour. It's actually an activity I enjoy quite a bit (until about mid-March). I'm usually listening to an audiobook but thanks to #LateNightLinux for keeping me company today.

  34. After hearing about immich.app/ on the #LateNightLinux podcast several times, I decided last week to set up a server and import the whole "take out" of photos we had on Google Photos.

    The task took several days between downloading the whole takeout (around 760 GB) uploading and processing it.

    Once downloaded and unzipped, uploading to immich was fine, thanks to the command-line tool.

    Two things to keep in mind: (continued)

  45. Google Extreme Enshitfication 🤬

    Hi @JoeRess with regards of the episode 333 of #latenightlinux you should really read this testimony about further #Google #enshitfication through #AI.

    Personally this explains why I am not getting any organic search to my personal small business website I launched a couple of months ago.
