    After much debate, the new policy is in effect: Wikipedia authors are not allowed to use LLMs for generating or rewriting article content. There are two primary exceptions, though.

    First, editors can use LLMs to suggest refinements to their own writing, as long as the edits are checked for accuracy. In other words, it’s being treated like any other grammar checker or writing assistance tool. The policy says, “ LLMs can go beyond what you ask of them and change the meaning of the text such that it is not supported by the sources cited.”

    The second exemption for LLMs is with translation assistance. Editors can use AI tools for the first pass at translating text, but they still need to be fluent enough in both languages to catch errors. As with regular writing refinements, anyone using LLMs also has to check that incorrect information hasn’t been injected.


  • That whatever happens the problem is always systemd. Chain of events:

    • voters vote for corrupt politician
    • big tech compaies bribe said politician to have shitty law
    • freedesktop requests systemd for backend to comply with said law
    • systemd just adds the field to the userdb

    Who is to blame for all of this? Poettering who else…




  • Ok, who decides which law is clown and which isn’t? You? Or Sam Altman? I guess he has a different idea what laws he wants to follow. See, it’s a slippery slope you recommend.

    Change your clown laws, and don’t bully projects who just wants linux to become viable alternative to common people. Don’t make perfect enemy of good.






  • From the docs:

    The Standard Debian Kernel (selectable) can be used for ZFS. However, since ZFS kernel modules are not installed in the Debian kernel by default, they must be built by the ZFS plugin when it is installed. While this process works, building the modules is a long process that requires continuous access to online repos. Accordingly, the potential for a build error exists. For this reason, while the Standard Kernel is very usable for ZFS, it is not ideal.
