- Comment on KDE developers' attempts at creating LLM guidelines are not going well 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, thanks for writing all that out. I think I understand where you are coming from. You’re basically saying that this is an attribution issue and the LLMs cant determine that.
But at the same time, now you arent able to use properly attributed software either. Any open-source project that allows any user to contribute has a chance to be using unattributed code. Upstream code that your operating system uses to function could also be using unattributed code that your code runs through and could output tainted results.
The genie is out of the lamp, and it has already made the wishes of the user come true and that wish has landed in your repository. I just don’t see how its feasible to expect any open-source codebase to be fully compliant with full attribution. It never was to begin with, whether LLMs were used or not, but it was expected for people to abide by it.
Now that its easier to generate code off of the training data that went into the model, you have to be real selective on what code is used.
My suggestion for open-source projects is to recommend an open-weight model that has had its training data thoroughly audited so its not a black box. Have it cite code responsibly. Maybe only allow pull requests from users who use that particular model if they must use LLMs. That doesnt mean users are going to abide by that recommendation, but we should start guiding people towards a solution. People are going to use LLMs, thats not going away.

Im trying to understand.
If I learned python from python’s own manuals, then wrote some proprietary python functions in a closed source proprietary project, but then also wrote that same function in an open source project, is it free and open source code, or is it proprietary?

Your PC likely wont have a million context-size capability, but thats the price you pay for being in the peasant class instead of the billionaire class.
- Comment on AI Assistants Are Leaking Your Conversations 5 months ago:
Thats the risk of centralized services. If you are that worried about it, you would be installing a local model to run offline on your PC instead.

Do you live in a region that requires it by law? Because steam enforces it there, not just a dropdown box.
- Comment on 4Chan responds to £520,000 Ofcom fine with AI picture of hamster 6 months ago:
Steam does age verification though
- Comment on 4Chan responds to £520,000 Ofcom fine with AI picture of hamster 6 months ago:
I noticed 4chan is not doing age verification checks, even though they host pornographic content.

They are 4 year old GPUs. They’re still getting updates, just not new features.
- Comment on Linux users have no reason to worry about recent AMD GPU driver changes 11 months ago:
They’ve moved GPUs into maintenance mode since they’ve gone into the GPU business. Not sure why its an issue in 2025 when it was never an issue before.

If you use systemd, mkinitio and sbctl can sign it all for you automatically during updates.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 1 year ago:
Until its concealing its behavior by modifying files or executing processes without your knowledge, then it isn’t a rootkit. They tell you what it does, and they get your permission to install it.
Its anti cheat software that monitors your system and kernel. Not a rootkit.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 1 year ago:
Would you enable secure boot even if you’re not installing bf6?
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 1 year ago:
I believe you are missing my point
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 1 year ago:
Sounds like these game studios are creating horrible software on a horrible OS, but this anti cheat is still not modifying the kernel, and secure boot also is not a rootkit.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 1 year ago:
My point stands. The anti cheat doesn’t modify your kernel though. Its not a rootkit.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 1 year ago:
Secure boot won’t let your kernel be modified though.
Their anti cheat software just makes sure that you haven’t tampered with the kernel at all. It just monitors for any changes after the system has booted.
It does not modify your kernel.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 1 year ago:
Are people still parroting that secure boot is a rootkit, even though its actually designed to prevent root kits from being installed?
- Comment on Parental controls on children’s tech devices are out of touch with child’s play 1 year ago:
They are going to be introduced to it, regardless if you manage their devices or not. If they are socializing at all, they will be introduced toit. But if their friends come over to your home, and your network doesn’t have any kind of safeguards, Then you might be enabling their friends to influence your child in ways that are not appropriate right in front of you.
I do agree with what you’re saying, but I think there’s a way to do both methods. It could be something that is gradually introduced insteadof just straight up opening Pandora’s box for them.
- Comment on Parental controls on children’s tech devices are out of touch with child’s play 1 year ago:
It takes a combination of a few technologies to be effective imo
- Screentime limits: have a “bedtime” set for each device. Some applications are excluded from this purely from an emergency communications perspective.
- Family-friendly DNS services enforced: Use a trusted DNS service that can block access to anything adult themed. It needs to be customizable though so that additions and exclusions can be made. Lock down devices so that DNS cant be changed without proper permissions.
- pre-approval of apps: be the judge of which apps are allowed on their devices. Do some research before installing anything, and keep up with those apps so that you can make changes if the apps start doing different things later.
- kids have their own wifi network: this makes management much easier. You can set the hours and protocols that are allowed on their network. Makes it easy to change DNS servers if needed.
None of this is easy to do, and honestly, it just seems inhumane for parents to have to go through this. If they don’t do it though, the children can have much more exposure to various content (some which won’t be ideal).

If your backups are encrypted and stored on a Google Drive account, there are no privacy issues minus Google knowing you are doing backups.
I wouldn’t personally do it, but I don’t see any issues with it if someone does this.
There are so many places to store data online. Just encrypt and upload it where you have space available.
AWS is cheap. Google Drive and iCloud are convenient. pCloud, sync.com, and any other online storage service are also great options. Just get your data offsite to avoid regional catastrophes.
