Dear Linux community,
In these shite times, we need to remember to see the human in all of us. So I address the humans of this community:
-
To the Stallmanites. SCREW CORPORATE YEAHHHHH! Each day humanity grows smarter, no matter how many iPad kids or mass media diatribes there are, so celebrate how far we’ve fucking come. Look at your oldest machine. You’re a million times better. My old Slackware was full of SHIT! FUCK YEAH
-
To the pragmatists. Linux doesn’t get in your way. People get in each others’ ways all the time. But most importantly, don’t get in your own way. If you’re feeling like shit – the human capacity to hope beats everything to a pulp. You know what we do when shit fucks? We submit a fucking pull request. FUCK YEAH
-
To the hobbyists. Life is a bundle of fun so feel every moment. When you’re old, and you’ll be old as fuck, you’ll be like “fuck yeah I lived every moment of my life up to now.” So fuck another segfault up. Learn C, and call C the best language. Then learn Rust and call Rust the best language. Make a homelab then call homelab the best language. FUCK YAML HOLY SHIIIIIIIT
Flaming hot wishes,
Your fellow fucking human.
YEAHHHH FUCK YAML
Totally lost me. Why the hate on YAML?
No linux user ever leaves home without their… piss minigun??
Lmao, I love the diss at that AI post. Merry GNU/Christmas 🎄🎁🎉, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Christmas 🎄🎁🎉

copypasta (🎄🍝 leftovers)“I use Christmas as my operating system,” I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
“Actually”, he says with a grin, “Christmas is just the kernel. You use GNU+Christmas!”
I don’t miss a beat and reply with a smirk, “I use Alpine, a distro that doesn’t include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It’s Christmas, but it’s not GNU+Christmas.”
The smile quickly drops from the man’s face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams “I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT’S STILL GNU!”
Coolly, I reply “If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?” I interrupt his response with “-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won’t be for long.” With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man’s life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp.
Fuck yeah! 🐧🎉🎄
Filthy, janky, lovely! Merry Christmas and happy holidays you stinky lil’ penguin! 🎄🎉🎁☃️❄️
Meh… given the choice between low-effort AI art and low-effort crayon drawing, I think I’ll take the AI art, please.
I… I put effort in…
Edit: What about an ivory leg?
Happy holidays and thank you for the art
Merry Christmas! I don’t know about all of you, but I’m enjoying the holiday music today.
Is that 7/8 time? (12) (3) (12) (12). Stallman’s taking his own path even when compiling a song
Yup. Though it’s really a “fork” of a Bulgarian folk song.
Merry Christmas 🐧
Merry christams
Merry chrisatms
I feel like this could be applied to more than the Linux community. Regardless, this was a heartwarming read.
Made with no blood, no sweat, and no tears in fucking GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Program.
If you haven’t already, try out KDE’s Krita. Incredible piece of software, much better for drawing imo
That’s why it’s… The way it is lmao
Basest of Based.
Personally, I try to mainly use locally hosted Open Source LLMs, and mostly for research purposes.
“Open Source” is a misnomer for LLMs. The weights are comparable to binary blobs.
The difference is nobody knows what the binary blobs are made of
You could recreate them if you had the training data, which is pretty much never disclosed.
You could of course use one of the models that are trained on open data sets. Maybe a little worse than those directly from Mistral etc but truly open source
Got any good tutorials that you’ve been happy with?
I just use GPT4All
Are they free range and GMO free? 🙄
“Mainly” and “mostly” 🤨
epic
