A few notes about Antigravity CLI and non-alternatives
Exactly one week ago, I had to release the bug-fix version 2.5.1 of ComicStripBrowser because Marmaduke was broken. The culprit was a typo that actually meant I inadvertently pasted a…
The umpteenth AI compromise
I can't even remember how many times I changed my choice of chatbots in everyday use. Every time one chatbot angered me, I wanted to replace it, but each chatbot…
Chatbots are increasingly useless ● Searching for a watch
I don’t use chatbots to write either texts or code for me. For code, Gemini CLI wasn’t bad when I used it, and Qwen Code was very decent, too, but…
What if I boycotted all Chinese LLMs? ● Ludditus investigates!
This idea might come as a shock to those who noticed that I was quite a heavy user of Kimi lately. I mostly used it for answers that involved distilling…
On using ffmpeg with Intel GPU
There are a few reasons I neither need nor want a computer with an NVIDIA card. In no particular order: NVIDIA is a pain in the ass under Linux, and…
The golden age of free LLM chatbots might soon end + BONUS
I'm trying to collect my thoughts on the current situation regarding the public availability of LLMs. This post comes as a quick follow-up to “Free AI coding agents are becoming…
Dumbo SPECIAL: Crappy Wayland—stupid with GNOME, better but imperfect with KDE
This post is an attempt to summarize my experiences and adventures with Linux from the last two or three weeks. Before I finalized this post, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS had been…
Free AI coding agents are becoming scarce
Once again, I had this post in drafts for a week! It's time to put it in a readable form. ① Artificial Idiocy at work?② Interlude #1: No Gemma, no…
Why do they still not explain AI properly?
There are three kinds of people on Earth. Monkeys who use chatbots, monkeys who pretend to explain how they work, so some other monkeys believe they understand, and the few…
Windows users and “experts” are dumb as shit and lazy
I'm not saying that Microsoft was right to do what they did. They have always been wrong in the last 20 years, starting with Vista. (And not only that. From…
Privacy aside, LLMs don’t learn when they could (and should)
I might be wrong. Maybe I don't understand that what I would do is not feasible or shouldn't be done this way. But the way these chatbots talked made me…
Why are people consenting to using AppArmor or SELinux?
I know that Linux distros stopped observing the KISS principle long ago, and systemd is one of the best examples of this loss of direction. In my book, both SELinux…

AI Quickie: How strict are Arab countries compared to Iran?
Since the Islamic Revolution, the regime in Iran has been seen as extremely strict and oppressive: Sharia, fewer rights for women, the Ayatollah as the supreme leader that overrides the…
AI Quickie: Kubuntu vs. Fedora KDE
I have an uncertainty relative to the opportunity of sticking to Fedora over using Ubuntu, and this goes beyond the obvious. The obvious is this: Should I want stability and…
Gemini vs. Fran Blanche + BONUS: crazy units
I don't like Fran Blanche. For someone who's a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), her videos are incredibly shallow. Five years ago, Fran made…
The law says you’re responsible for the snow on sidewalks. Why?
There is a thing that bothers me in “civilized countries”: if someone breaks their neck while on a public sidewalk that you don’t own, you’re the one at fault if…
Chatbots are mostly clueless regarding the game of GO
I was visiting Reddit for a Linux-related topic, when a thread from r/baduk was suggested to me: How is this a real eye? This is an elementary eye viability recognition…
Reassessing the usefulness of major LLMs
I keep being disappointed by major chatbots. You see, it's not enough if such an LLM knows about those newfangled frameworks or programming languages; it has to know, or to…
A paper about the Boltzmann brain paradox, vulgarized by AI
In a very small nutshell, and quoting from Wikipedia, “The Boltzmann brain thought experiment suggests that it is probably more likely for a brain to spontaneously form, complete with a…
