      See, you’re thinking like a user. You gotta think like a CEO tho. There’s no AI button popup, the AI features are automatically activated when you use the tools. You gotta go into the settings and explicitly disable automatic AI actions. And only THEN do you get the AI popup to pwease use the AI features.

        Gotta get that engagement.

        I remeber having some bullshit feeds by default on an old Samsung phone’s home screen, and to disable them you had to first get into the app’s settings, which required you to agree to the EULA to allow them to strip-mine all your data forever even if you disabled the software.

    It kills me that fucking everything is a fucking website these days, even “desktop” applications.

      Though not having to download and install a random program from the Internet, with full access to your hard disk, is often nice. When running in the browser, it is automatically sandboxed hard.

        And it kills all the performance… And the security, and the privacy, as everything needs to fucking call home to be able to work.

        And, why the fuck would you build over Electron or Tauri? That’s just being retarded, desktop apps should be done with actual native graphic toolkits, not that fucking performance, resources, space, security and privacity that “hybrid frameworks” are.

          Which is true and all. For many things.

          But if I just want to decode some JSON for a computer game, it is nice to just be able to do it on a website, with no need to install anything.

    Don’t forget the popup as soon as you open the app for a “Limited Time Lightning Deal” of 25% off when you subscribe for 3 years with a price lock guarantee.

    I’m a freelancer and unfortunately rely heavily on Microsoft. Haven’t had that stance for long, to be honest, but the past few months have been eye-opening. I’m trying to go more European in the future, and Open Source where viable.

    It is a little scary I have to admit. I’m getting old enough to have worked with MS products for decades now, and am so used to them. It’s also a challenge to myself to move away and try new things, as I believe this will be a selling point in the near future in my business.

      I was exactly the same but moved over to linux about a year ago, it took a little bit of time to get used to but overall hasn’t been a massive issue.

      If there are additional packages you are used to running that will probably be the hardest part since you might have to find open source equivalents

    Don’t think that open source is immune to this, OnlyOffice has an AI button and many OSS devs are integrating Claude into their dev nowadays. It’s getting annoying.

      tbf ai can be useful, and will be even more useful once we optimize it enough that you can just run good models locally, without being a slave to the llm coorps. even if they will technically always have the “frontier”, most of these applications don’t really need the best of the best

      we should strive to achieve that since it won’t go away, and you can’t really fight it long term

        No, AI just can be harmful.

        Read this

        TL;DR: AI is just a works-stealing machine that makes code less secure and displaces people of their works (or removes their opportunities to get a job).

          and displaces people of their works (or removes their opportunities to get a job).

          We’re talking about open source software here, where the devs usually work for free, as a hobby.

            Yes, but the fact is that FLOSS projects are supposed to have, or should have, strong moral codes that favor the emancipation of people who are below everything, freedom and the improvement of everyone’s conditions through a philosophy of sharing and, especially, respecting people’s autonomy, freedom of choice and personal fulfillment. And those same people who work on open source projects, often for free, also need to figure out how to put food on their tables so they don’t starve, and AI is constantly making that basic need impossible to achieve.

      Not integrating the tools that the users want to use is how you end up in a situation 10 years down the road where people say “oh, oss-version-of-my-favourite-tool doesn’t have A, B, and C so I can’t use it” and lose another gen of users.

        “The users want to use slop” isn’t the flex you think it is

        I’m getting so tired of running, Windows ruined itself because of it, I don’t know wtf to do.

            Well the original meme implied ai features weren’t being added to open source projects

            So its a wee bit strange when I see AI added to OSS projects as well, and a LOT of Claude commits on git repos.

    Corporations have the advantage of being able to allocate lots of resources to the project and have many professionals of various specialties work on it as their day job.

    Open Source has the advantage of not being forced by a perverse economic structure to do as much evil as possible for the sake of generation more revenue for shareholders.

    Apple Incorporated’s software looks more like the one on the left, but with a way more refined user interface… If we want OSS to be as good as possible then we need to compare our favorite software with other good software, not with Microslop. UI design matters and we should discuss it with less of a bias.
