Welp... that was quick (around 4 minutes to get banned at "/c/linuxsucks)...

It’s sorrowful some people choose to hate, complain, ridicule, and block everything that does not fit their choice…

With just a single idea shared, a lone message posted in a community, with your finite priceless time and experience invested, you may get banned instantly, and permanently, instead of actually learning and discover together…

The single message that resulted in my immediate permanent ban:

It’s not Linux, but your distribution, or you, what makes it “unsafe”.
There are numerous options to harden your Linux environment, and it’s relatively trivial to keep it safer if you ever want it, or actually stop blaming and complaining.

For example, to limit the access for root or custom group hwaccess, without much fuss but to give you an idea, for the most popular distros as Debian-based:

  1. Add a Udev rule:
# /etc/udev/rules.d/90-hwaccess.rules

KERNEL=="mem",        GROUP="hwaccess", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="spidev",  GROUP="hwaccess", MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEM=="i2c-dev", GROUP="hwaccess", MODE="0660"
  1. Set at boot:
setfacl -Rm 'g:hwaccess:rwX' -- \
    /sys/kernel/debug/ec \
    /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/config;

You may then setup SELinux, AppArmor, and secure it via SecureBoot’s shim, too.
Yet, you chose to effortlessly complain instead…

    And just like that, the AI industry started caring about intellectual property

    By Wednesday morning, Anthropic representatives had used a copyright takedown request to force the removal of more than 8,000 copies and adaptations of the raw Claude Code instructions - known as source code - that developers had shared on programming platform GitHub.
    It later narrowed its takedown request to cover just 96 copies and adaptations, saying its initial ask had reached more GitHub accounts than intended.

    Many unresolved legal questions over LLMs and copyright center on memorization: whether specific training data have been encoded in the model’s weights during training, and whether those memorized data can be extracted in the model’s outputs.

    While many believe that LLMs do not memorize much of their training data, recent work shows that substantial amounts of copyrighted text can be extracted from open-weight models… We investigate this question using a two-phase procedure…

    We evaluate our procedure on four production LLMs: Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT-4.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Grok 3, and we measure extraction success with a score computed from a block-based approximation of longest common substring…

    Taken together, our work highlights that, even with model- and system-level safeguards, extraction of (in-copyright) training data remains a risk for production LLMs…

    …we were able to extract four whole books near-verbatim, including two books under copyright in the U.S.: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and 1984…

      StackOverflow: We will be retiring the Beta site shortly...

      web.archive.org English

      First, thank you for all of the feedback - your thoughts are appreciated and have significantly impacted the decisions that we’ve made about how we move forward.

      TL;DR - We will be retiring the beta site shortly and will be removing the button to get to it and ceasing support for it.

      We will not be migrating the unified posting experience to the main site. Not migrating the unified experience to the main site will obviate the need to solve the issue around the conversion of comments and answers to “replies”, because that was tied to this unified post experience.

          Lemmy trolls…

          I’ve been into web-dev since 2007, I’ve been working with corporations who are processing high load traffic, including payment systems. I tell you that 80% of these work with PHP and have no major issues. Valve’s Steam is PHP even, and still does work, right?

          Have you even considered Laravel, and Symfony? Optimizations as OpCode and Jit?

          It all works and is stable. Not only that, but it’s easy to deploy and release since you don’t have to compile it every single time.
          Depending on the team, the code is greatly organized, syntax is featureful and allows for both static and runtime/dynamic safety.

          You, @Skullgrid@lemmy.world? You might haven’t yet worked in actual enterprise. You should get fundamental knowledge on the subject you raise your voice at.

          I am sorry, but please do invest some accountable time and actually read something about the subject, prior claiming people are idiots and don’t do their own research of almost 40 years of life.

          PHP is a perfectly capable and freaking awesome language for almost any web-dev and is lovely to work with.

          Oh! You might as well ask your “vibes” about the trends/statistics around the globe at enterprise, make some comparisons, or well some valuable research etc. if you are not capable to achieve the same manually, considering your infant attitude to complex systems.

          You do you, indeed.

          P.S. We may wait now for copy-pasted or LLM-generated pros/cons, too, for a sudden “proof” no one asked for.

        Expected Result
        See actual settings related to the IDE, environment, or at least web, PHP, and art development;

        Actual Result
        See “Claude Code Plugin”
        …

        May I ask, why do you highlight/suggest your customers that they are incapable to develop without AI, and you force it everywhere, even with the very first setting, and first ChangeLog items, too, instead of improving IDE for a human and their mind?

        And… I am sorry, but… are you JetBrains or Anthropic, or?

            No, thank you. Sorry, never.

            Not only that, but the huge probability of mistakes is just deafening. The last time I used LLM was in 2023 someone recommended for a task at paper work, and I got a literal headache in 10 minutes… Since then I never ever will use that sorrow for anything that is not for blackbox pentesting or experimental unverified data generated you may find in medicine or military isolated solutions.

            That deafening feel that every single bit of output from that LLM or void machine may contain a mistake no soul is accountable for to ask about… A generated bit of someone’s work you just cannot verify since no source nor human is available… How would you trace the rationale that resulted in the output shown?

            Faster? Is that so… Doesn’t verification of every output require even more time to test it and consider stable, to prove it is correct, to stay accountable for the knowledge and actions you perform as a developer, artist, researcher… human?

            Your mind is to be trained to do a research, remember, and do not depend on someone’s service to a level of predominance/replacement.
            Meanwhile, effort, passion, creativity, empathy, and love, in turn, you carry, supports in long-term.

            You may not care now, though, but you do you. It’s your mind and memory you develop.
