I really love the emdash. I’m very—very—upset ai ruined it for me—cunts.

Rebel. Start using triple em dashes⸻see?

Fu———ck yeah.

Turns out AI learned from humans, who learn from the writings they're exposed to

It's an endless cycle, and we're only in the first revolution

And one solution would be to just turn off all grammar and spell check and let people’s fat fingers and inability to spell let them stand out as the human. Oh boy.

This reads like Haiku

It's probably about to drop off. Opus 5.5 isn't outputting em dashes in work produced anymore

On the plus side, drunk people would have a MUCH harder time starting arguments..

It could be a haiku. They don't need to be 5-75 syllables. It's more about an observation or a moment of clarity/realisation. The first two lines set up a concept or image, and the third line closes out the thought, usually with contrast. Just have to structure it properly.

I really love the emdash,

I’m very—very—upset ai ruined it for me.

Cunts.

I did that over a year ago. It was always misinterpreting what I was trying to say and fucking it up, so this is honestly way better.

5-75

You have been reading much longer haikus than I have 😜

I've been using linux for 18 years, but since reviewing the Open Slopware list I've been making a lot of changes.

FreeBSD ticks almost every box I need it to. It runs Plasma, it runs Steam/Proton (through a thin compatibility layer that enables a lot of other linux software), it can be set up immutably and has superior containerization natively via jails. It even supports XDG compliance.

But there is no support for changing voltage or clock rate on any amd gpu (maybe any gpu at all) and no driver support for my newer amd gpu at all.

It honestly feels like how linux used to feel back in the day 😅

I don't think I'm gonna jump ship just yet. The recent ai code fiasco that happened in the linux kernel (race condition, regression, vacation) was averted by the team of talented human developers who reviewed Linus' code. I am choosing to have faith that it will be ok for a while... given there are few alternatives.

That being said, I think I might finally be ready to hop on the fuck-sysyemd train. I was able to look past the megalomaniacal tendencies of the dev because the tools were so convenient, but the AI PRs and code review pushes me over the edge. I am gonna configure a daily driver in Artix soon.

Edit: I should note, FreeBSD also has some AI code issues. But the linux-libre kernel might not. Something like Hyperbola (GNU/Linux-libre) might be more appropriate for someone who is trying to avoid ai code strictly.

Recursive self—emprovement

That's how you know that comment isn't ai. No dash.

We have to ride it for long enough so that a microkernel inevitably becomes the better option.

Maybe L4? IDK, but it's something that makes this kind of choice irrelevant.

Oh, that reminds me: is Haiku still a slop-free OS?

can you elaborate on the recent fiasco you mentioned? I totally missed the news on that

It’s not just Linux, it’s GNU + Linux

It says Linux Kernel

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as GNU + Linux, is in fact, Linux

As an actual human who uses em dashes --- or usually, two or three hyphens that turn into an em dash in Markdown --- I feel personally attacked.

aren't those regular dashes? em dashes seem just a bit longer

It's a joke about common LLM-gen-AI text patterns

N dashes. They are as wide as an n. M dashes are as wide as an m.

Ya except the internet called everyone grammar nazis for caring.

Linus introduced a race condition and a regression with a AI generated code, then handed off fixing the problem to someone else because he was going on vacation.

Fiasco might have been an exaggeration, but it's still pretty lame.

So, I’m guessing you don’t meet too many drunk people…

Slop and driver free

No.

Great
This doesn't make me nervous at all...

Not what happened. I'm not digging it up but this story has been debunked repeatedly

Man, I miss when Linux felt like a refuge. It's always been flawed of course but now it feels like everyone in positions of influence are embracing the awful

Soom we'll all be on omarchy

Confidently incorrect. Read a book now and then.

What does this say about how LLMs plan their sentences?

This was caught during review, so nothing was "introduced" quite yet. And there's no indication that Linus wouldn't have produced a race condition (a notoriously more easy to miss kind of bug) without the use of AI tools.

It's only being exaggerated so much because he used AI.

Literally you got hit with an linux mailing list saying this is what happened?

Bless your — illiterate — heart.

Read a book ✨

when using a monotype font, shouldnt n and m dashes look the same even?

The graphical representation does not matter, they are still different character

Sure. You can totally avoid them. Just by using very basic sentences. The same is true for a lot of puctuation.

But that doesn't make your sentences planned better but is simply a sign of limiting yourself by avoiding any complexity.

Ypu think I cant spell drunk amd anget huh bitcj!?

It’s getting harder to justify the inconvenience of going off the beaten path if that path is turning into the same slop as the commercial ones.

🟥 Linux Kernel — CORRECTED: NOT GNU/Linux

No, that's just using an em dash wrong in the place where a hyphen belongs.

Personally the only part I have seen is documentation is now vibe coded, where in the past, it was autism coded.

But what is em?
