Hello old-timer! I’ve been using various Linux versions for about 30 years as well. Started on Slackware, then jumped to Redhat around 6.0, then jumped to Ubuntu after the RHEL release. I’m still on 24.04 Mate, but will soon be switching to Debian. I like the Mate desktop but I’m tired of Canonical’s ongoing attempts to embrace and extend Linux.

I don’t know how anyone fell for this pump and dump scheme in the first place.

Well this is totally shocking

Not claiming it’s the reason since it clearly isn’t, only that it will help drive traffic to commercial AI products.

If RAM and GPUs were cheap people like us would be more likely to set up local LLMs to prevent our data from being productized by power-grabbing corporations.
