Re:AI Is Rotting Your Brain [video] on Sunday October 25, 2026 @03:47AM (#50229241)
OP here, this video is a great evidence-based analysis of what goes wrong when using generative AI in your everyday interaction with the world. It uses examples from the youtuber t3dotgg, and shows how overly automating seemingly "hard tasks" (on the example of writing github comments) are potentially creating "brain rot". The video argues, that attention loss can already be observed in the developer community.

sure, but which version are they running. they could be running an older revision
Re:DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash-1017 on Saturday October 17, 2026 @05:06AM (#50129269)
and do we know which version runs on opencode at the moment (on the free and on the paid version), is there a way to find out?
Actually, with the recent advances in LLMs - they could. If people start to reverse their phones and upstream to Linux, we would not need the hardware vendors to support their own hardware even.

did we audit the codebase already?

take a look at adguard home, dnsmask or unbound. the best is to run your own infra

doom emacs with evil (vim keybindings) and org-mode is the absolute killer app.
Puh, this is very shallow. "There is a growing call for sustainable open source, non-profits, and adjacent organisations that appears to align with the very strong culture of radical anti-capitalist organising and contribution in either free or open source software projects" - where is the source for that? Not everythying that this open is "anti-capitalist", and for sure not "radical anti-capitalist". The two examples given (NixOS and Rust) are particularly bad examples.

"The ideology of free software has failed to substantially deliver freedom in consumer software" - this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what free software is about. This has been discussed a lot, and I want to remind us of the "don't contribute to open source" debate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nY_cy8zcO4

Why are there no reverse engineering projects listed? These would make the most sense actually. Or future features of MacOS, Apple hardware designs (as Apple would not be able to patent them then)

There are also Architectural Decision Records (ADRs), which might be something similar. https://adr.github.io/

I am wondering about the RAM extensibility. The 7040 can be extended to have 128GB RAM (for example Crucial CT2K64G56C46S5) - anyone knows if the same still works?

We need laws that these megacorps have to show in an easy and understandable form which data is collected and what happens to the data. If they do fail to explain this (in 5 sentences or less) - they should pay insane fines per day. It is the only way (and solves the debt crisis of the US at the same time). It is ridiculous that we do have this situation in 2025 that we do not know which data is processed or not.
