'Traditional' Computing is Still the Best
Winter feels like it's going away already. It's mild and sometimes sunny. The birds manage to find seeds more easily and sometimes in this warming weather wearing a t-shift during daytime is good enough.
But not all is well.
Computing got a lot worse last year. Companies that had nothing real to offer just shoveled up "slop" (they say "AI-infused") into everything, expecting us to mistake it for art or intelligence or productivity.
We generally turn down such fake 'novelty' and go on doing what we always did. This weekend we and Marius Nestor were congratulated for combatting slop and not 'experimenting' or dabbling in this nonsense. Over a week ago we stopped linking to Linuxiac, seeing it had become a part-time slopfarm.
Don't "go with the flow" if that flow is dictated by GAFAM and media owned by GAFAM. █
