Could be planned obsolescence.

It doesn't have to remember. It just repeats what humans say. And humans say that sort of thing every day.

there's a very good chance there's no human involvement at all in this


The sole contributor has tons of repos and has been creating stuff on github for 15 years.

They look like a human to me.



The ThinkPad is still the only recent-ish laptop you can actually buy with a trackpoint and a full-size ethernet port.

The trackpoint of old is my favorite input method for laptops. But the trackpoint of new is not like the trackpoint of old. I still prefer it to the trackpad personally, just because it's so ingrained in me, but I no longer try to convince friends and family. It's on its way out, culturally, because of said enshittification.

But Ubuntu is not the embodiment of "open source". It's a business. With managers...

Finally I see this mention. Thank you.

Why don't you do it?

Sure, give me write access to the website and I will.

Send me an email with that content and I'll update the page

That's just the thing; these devices aren't meant to be -good-, they're meant to check boxes.

Thats true for all govenment regulation, thats also why I prefer not to give up my data at all Esther than relying on pricycy laws.

As clear as it gets here


I mean. So would looking through cardboard tubes. In this context, cardboard tubes are at least as cool.

Sorry mate, this here is disposable software.


I’m using that. That’s exactly what this stuff becomes. At some point it becomes unmanageable for who is looking after it.

I understand the impulse to assume that, but good software can be built with AI (as long as the right verification loops are used), and new maintainers won't necessarily drop their creations once it gets hard.

You very well may be right; development might be easy come, easy go. But maybe not! (Hopefully not, in this case. It looks cool.)


When someone built such a huge codebase in two weeks, I kind of doubt a lot of care was taken to avoid the pitfalls. I could be wrong, but give it a year and call me back.
