The article links to Mozilla’s press release / blog entry about the acquisition of Anonym [0]. It’s pretty dystopian reading. The last three paragraphs and the summary of Anonym are more worrying than anything else I’ve read on this so

I’ve been asking questions about F# after a while of using OCaml. I’ve found GPT-4 to hallucinate syntax that doesn’t exist, such as being able to do open <modulename> in a function. It’s actually something I assumed too, because you

I have the kernel and zfs modules in IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf. This way I have to update them explicitly. I usually have to manually install a kernel from archive.archlinux.org/packages but I find this much less fragile
