My thermostat hides no brainier features behind an "Ai" subscription. Switching off the heating when the weather will be warm that day doesn't need Ai... that's not even machine learning, that's a simple PID controller.
I'm so glad I switched to just home assistant and zigbee devices, and my radiators are dumb, so I could replace them with zigbee ones. Fuck making everything "smart" a subscription
Even the supposed efficiency benefits of the nest basically come down to "if you leave the house and forget to turn the air down, we will do it for you automatically"
One of the leading sources of enshitification.
Containerize everything!
Crypto everything!
NFT everything!
Metaverse everything!
This too shall pass.
Put a curved screen on everything, microwave your thanksgiving turkey, put EVERYTHING including hot dogs, ham, and olives in gelatin. Only useful things will have AI in them in the future and I have a hard time convincing the hardcore anti-ai crowd of that.
Docker: 😢
Docker is only useful in that many scenarios. Nowadays people make basic binaries like tar into a container, stating that it's a platform agnostic solution. Sometimes some people are just incompetent and only know docker pull as the only solution.
Docker have many benefits - container meaning it can be more secure, easy to update and something that many overlook - a dockerfile with detailed intrusions on how to install that actually works if the container works - useful when wiki is not updated.
Another benefit is that the application owner can change infrastructure used without the user actually need to care. Example - Pihole v5 is backend dns + lighthttp for web + php in one single container. In version v6(beta) they have removed lighthttp and php and built in functionality into the core service. In my tests it went from 100 MB ram usage to 20 MB. They also changed the base from debian to alpine and the image size shrink a lot.
Next benefit - I am moving from x86 to arm for my home server. Docker itself will figure out what is the right architecture and pull that image.
Sure - Ansible exist as one attempt to combat the problem of installation instructions but is not as popular and thus the community is smaller. They may leave you in a bad state(it is not like containers were you can delete and start over fresh easily) Then we have VM:s - but IMO they waste to many resources.
LXC -- natively containerize an application (or multiple)
systemd-run -- can natively limit CPU shares and RAM usage
What's wrong with containers?
I think the complaint is that apps are being designed with containerization in mind when they don't need it
Any examples spring to mind? I've built apps that are only distributed as containers (because for their specific purpose it made sense and I am also the operator of the service), but if ya don't want to run it in a container... just follow the Dockerfile's "instructions" to package the app yourself? I'm sure I could come up with a contrived example where that would be impractical, but in almost every case a container app is just a basic install script written for a standard distro and therefore easily translatable to something else.
FOSS developers don't owe you a pre-packaged .deb. If you think distributing one would be useful, read up on debhelper. But as someone who's done both, Dockerfile is certainly much easier than debhelper. So "don't need it" is a statement that only favors native packaging from the user's perspective, not the maintainer. Can't really fault a FOSS developer for doing the bare minimum when packaging an app.
also! it's worth noting that not all FOSS developers are debian (or even linux) devs. Developers of open source projects including .Net Core don't "owe" us packaging of any kind but the topic here is unnecessary containerization, not a social contract to provide it.
Not sure about that hot take. Containers are here for the long run.
You're fooling yourself if you really think everyone hates it.
I think most can agree that AI has some great use cases, but I also think most people dont want AI in their damn toaster.
"But master, the toast is already burned, surely you-"
*Me, eyes glowering with a malevolence* "DOWN YOU GO."
"Master! Nooooo--!"
the people who matter, love it.

Do they though? Are they ignoring the risk of a bubble collapse?
According to some meme I saw, it's gonna fuck your wife in 2025.
I mean, it opens the door to new kinks
You mean that?
I think AI is a great tool if used properly. However, it should be a background tool. The second you advertise it to the end consumer, it's going to be dogshit.
If someone asks me to build a sort-function for their table, I'm not gonna write an email: "Yes and I actually used radix sort for the table contents which makes it extremely fast and performant!!!". I'm writing: "Done".
The end consumer doesn't give a shit how it works, as long as it works.
Forcing AI into everything maximizes efficiency, automates repetitive tasks, and unlocks insights from vast data sets that humans can't process as effectively. It enhances personalization in services, driving innovation and improving user experiences across industries. However, thoughtful integration is critical to avoid ethical pitfalls, maintain human oversight, and ensure meaningful, responsible use of AI.
Upvoting just because this reads as sarcasm to me and I'm vibing with it.
Fr, it sounds AI generated. 100% sarcasm
I cancelled my downvote because it sounds so funny now. It's like OP asked AI to generate a sarcasm and AI was silently crying, "Dude, don't dump me!"🥹
Upvote my post because it challenges conventional thinking and sparks a necessary debate about the pervasive role of AI in our lives! A downvote silences a crucial perspective, but an upvote gives this question the visibility it deserves to inspire meaningful discussion. Please, help ensure this idea gets the attention it needs—don’t let it fade away! 🙏
edit ok i'll stop. chatgpt getting creepy now

I was trying to take a photo of piece of jewellery in my hand tonight and accidentally activated my phone's AI. It threw up a big Paperclip-type message, "How can I help you?" I muttered "fuck off" as I stabbed at the back button. "I'm sorry you feel that way!" it said.
Yeah, I hate it. At least Paperclip didn't give snark.
All this needs to be a shit post is an AI watermark
real
Rule 34 clearly states everything on the internet must fuck everything. No exceptions! AI will be forced into fucking everything!
Actually ☝️ rule 34 indicates that porn of it exists, but not which type of porn. It could be solo content
Objection! Your statement is devastating to my case!
CEOs get FOMO. They can get funding for their companies if they share "new, exciting innovations" for their products and AI is that - even if it's forcefeed in fit.
