1. no, but we are talking about preserving your own bubble, which is a completely different matter.
2. we aren’t talking about winning or losing, being right or wrong. it’s just about discussing, which isn’t always supposed to have a definite outcome.
3. and if you put your own out there you should expect to be confronted with mine.
4. living in a bubble isn’t healthy though, which is the topic of the comic here. not engaging is perfectly fine and I do it too.
5. yes, that’s exactly what I meant.

same here to be honest.

easy counterargument would be: even your own bubble could be full of chatbots you agree with.

not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll though.

i often see people blocking others (me for example) just because they aren’t comfortable with having a debate with someone with completely opposite views.

in that case blocking isn’t “not feeding the troll” but more “staying safe in your bubble”.

the fact that OP is (apparently) a cringelord doesn’t make that particular point wrong.

that would actually make sense

nothing a social media ban for <13 years old kids can’t solve, am I right?

One of the most popular Linux distributions is about to get an influx of AI features. As reported by Phoronix, Jon Seager, VP of engineering at Ubuntu developer Canonical, shared a blog post on Monday detailing plans to add AI features to the Linux distro over the next year. As the post states, the AI features “will come in two forms: first as a means of enhancing existing OS functionality with AI models in the background, and latterly in the form of ‘AI native’ features and workflows for those who want them.”

These features will range from accessibility tools like improved speech-to-text and text-to-speech to agentic AI features for tasks like troubleshooting or personal automation. According to Seager, Canonical will be prioritizing model transparency and local inference when adding these AI features. Behind the scenes, Canonical is also encouraging its engineers to use AI more, but Seager noted that “I will not be measuring people at Canonical by how much they use AI, but rather continue to measure them on how well they deliver.”

Seager goes on to add that AI features could potentially help new users navigate the “famously fragmented” Linux desktop ecosystem: “If we’re careful about how we employ LLMs in a system context, they could demystify the capabilities of a modern Linux workstation and bring them to a much wider audience.”
