😊 I am using this app for so long. I highly recommend it to everyone and there is no AI in it.

Packman to be discontinued? From the mailing: After 25 years, the time has come for us to hand over the Packman project. If no one is found who wishes to continue Packman, we will discontinue the project on 31/12/2026.

There are two types of Linux users. the ones who use the OS & go home, and the ones who use it as a personality trait 😂 i am in the last camp 😅

🛜 To all my IT PEOPLE :

Choosing a public DNS resolver
Pick what matters to you, such as privacy, malware blocking, parental controls, speed, IPv6, or a specific jurisdiction, and the finder narrows 29 global public resolvers to the ones that fit.

Of course, this may not be useful for someone who runs their own DNS resolver on RPi at home with Adblocker at DNS level or at work but this a great little tool for home users or anyone who wish to use 3rd party DNS resolver

I am dying with laughter. lmao. AI Agent bankrupted their operator while trying to scan DN42 https://lantian.pub/en/article/fun/ai-agent-bankrupted-their-operator-scan-dn42lantian.lantian/

While modern AI models have expressed some capabilities in certain fields such as coding, cybersecurity research, language translation, etc, no AI model is capable enough to replace the critical thinking and common sense of an actual human being. 😂

Some org started rehiring junior devs because AI companies keep increasing their token costs. It is becoming cheaper to hire humans again to handle basic tasks, like aligning a button on screen, fixing typos or even performing PHP+MySQL coding.

You just have to wait until the AI bubble bursts or the VC money dries up. Approx 40% to 50% of AI data centers planned for 2026 in the U.S. are likely to be delayed or canceled as banks and VCs are refusing to provide further financing 😂

Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry https://xcancel.com/Fried_rice/status/2038894956459290963 😂

Guess what? Most of code is either slop or even old good regex like for detecting negative sentiment in users prompt which is then logged

These tools are going to replace 80% of all dev jobs and their plugin is gonna maintain all security and banking code? 🤡

the pressure from social media worked. In systemd, age verification has finally been reverted and removed for good. Linux is always for privacy conscious users, it isn't just another Microslop SlopOS https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41179 thanks @nprofile1q... for the heads up!

Ubuntu Linux is planning to comply with Age Verification law.

curl, which is one of the most popular CLI/API tools for network requests and data transfer on Linux/Unix, is to discontinue its HackerOne bug bounty program due to "too strong incentives to find and make up 'problems' in bad faith that cause overload and abuse".

The authors simply cannot keep up with LLM-generated fake security reports created to collect money using bots. So, it now shuts down at the end of January 2026. This is why we can't have good things
