Dear Linux community,
In these unpredictable and often challenging times, I feel it’s more important than ever to pause and share heartfelt wishes. Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!
Let this holiday season be a moment of peace, where you can step back, breathe, and find some calm amidst the chaos. Take the opportunity to reconnect, reflect, and perhaps even find inspiration for the year ahead.
May your days be filled with joy, your systems stay secure, and your kernels remain stable. Here's to a festive season full of positivity and open-source spirit!
Warm wishes,
Your fellow penguin at heart.
P.S.: I had very little time, so the whole thing, was AI accelerated! Please forgive me 😀

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control.
As a member of Wikipedia since 2004 (wow! 20+ years!), where I contribute my time daily, and money donations too, I second this.

The second phases of #KSA/ #ISRAEL/ #TURKEY/ #UAE/ #QATAR regime change have started.
These shameless criminals working hard to protect and shield genocidal regime of Israel under the guidance of #GenocideJoe and the #Pentagon.
Oh, the irony is thick here! Despite his claims of great cognition, we all know Trump should be tested - and by an unbiased entity.

I disagree with this sentiment; I'm inclined to believe that AI has actually lowered the bar for meaning.
Before AI, typically only skilled artists drew pictures for the web. But now that AI is making art that's less meaningful than crayon pictures, there's the growing sentiment of
which could actually mean more people have the ability to go on and artify.
Of course this is anecdotal; it's the reason I started drawing again 😀
AI structure can be pretty obvious if you know which English weapons it loves to spam. Let's walk it through (sorry for the wall of text lmfao):

- Corporate style.
- "In these unpredictable and often challenging times" -- This is very corporate. How many messages have you seen like this during the pandemic? Buuut just because it's soulless doesn't mean it's AI, but I wouldn't expect it from a community of this archetype. (ai suspicion +1)
- Tricolons, especially ascending. (source)
- This is something ChatGPT loves. Essentially, there are three "things" in a sentence, sometimes clauses. Sometimes each one is larger than the last (ascending), e.g. "I honed my skills in research, collaboration, and problem-solving." And it appears a lot even in this short snippet
- "...you can step back, breath

So yeah this is at least 90% OpenAI. Too fuckin' bad.

What do we spot? Sets of three, zero grammar mistakes (but useless grammar structures are allowed, but these are harder to spot), uncreative colon titles, SEO-style intros and conclusions, an odd corporate-style ethics hangup, em-dashes (the long —), and some of the stuff in that reddit link I mentioned are often giveaways.
Here's some examples in the wild:
ChatGPT-esque vocabulary is used (this is something you unfortunately get a feel for), and the reasoning isn't very committal. Instead of evaluating some specific event deeper, the article just lists technologies and says stuff like "PHP has comprehensive and well-maintained documentation, providing in-depth explanations, examples, and guides." So what if there's docs? Everyone has documentation. Name something PHP docs do better or worse. Look at this paragraph (SKIM IT, don't read deeply):
It doesn't actually SAY ANYTHING despite its length. The paragraph can be compressed to: "CodeIgniter has a light footprint". It doesn't even say whether we're talking about comparative speed, memory usage, or startup time. It's like they paid someone (openAI) to pad word count on the ensmallening I mentioned.
Before reading something, check the date. If it's after 2020, skims to be too long and not very deep, and has too many GPT tics (tricolons, vocab like "tapestry/delve", the SEO shit structure), then it's AI slop. Some readers actively avoid post-2020 articles but I can't relate.

in the above, the tricolon bonanza is insane -- how can you fit that many in such a short text?
You probably don't need to cut down 😀
