For context before playing the video, this talk from FOSDEM 2026 is about patching security issues under active exploitation in the continuwuity matrix homeserver implementation and was published by Jade who is one of continuwuity's maintainers.
The article itself reads as an AI generated output, complete with classic Not Just X … Y hallmarks from forever ago, 100% on pangram's low false positive detector. I'm not sure if it's some experiment on their readerbase or what.

So many AI generated AI bashing articles lately. I wrote a post complaining about running into these, and asking people who've sent me these AI articles multiple of them came from HN. https://lunnova.dev/articles/ai-bashing-ai-slop/
> 1. NEVER EVER login from an email link. EVER. There are enough legit and phishing emails asking you to do this that it's basically impossible to tell one from the other. The only way to win is to not try.
Sites choosing to replace password login with initiating the login process and then clicking a "magic link" in your email client is awful for developing good habits here, or for giving good general advice.
:c
If you interact with internet comments and discussions as an amorphous blob of people you'll see a constant trickle of the view that models now are useful, and before were useless.
If you pay attention to who says it, you'll find that people have different personal thresholds for finding llms useful, not that any given person like steveklabnik above keeps flip-flopping on their view.
"brand safety" is far removed from what they care about and would likely exist without that sphere's input given corporate trust & safety teams' history.
It has certainly negatively polarized people against any form of safety near AI.
People want them not to be advertised at official Nix events, not to bar them from using it. That wauld be impossible due to licensing so isn't on the table.
Would you require the FSF to accept a sponsorship from anyone and to advertise them in return?
conan makes it very hard to build a project offline and with a fixed set of inputs, it makes things worse in important ways if you care about reproducibility.
I really like my pinetime. It has way better battery life than android wearos watches - 2 weeks! - and does the few things I actually need, showing the time, alarms and notifications.
Their biggest competitor in the GPU space is AMD who have spent years chasing deadlock issues that won't stay fixed, playing whackamole, in between trying to do actual driver development. Following the amdgpu mailing list is not fun.
Currently you can't turn off vsync on wayland, except some limited cases involving full screen apps with direct scanout that may not even be implemented in your compositor or may not be possible due to missing implementation for async page flips with atomic modesetting.
Due to design issues relating to implicit sync with wayland any misbehaving app can cause your entire desktop to drop frames so if you're a multi monitor user expect stutters when the browser you have open in the background was a little too slow. Or worse if an app is badly broken [1]
The good news is that all of this is fixable. Windows has forced compositing for most cases and it performs much more consistently. A browser taking a while to render can't hang unrelated windows' composition. Wayland compositors can get there too eventually by moving to explicit sync APIs [2].
For now if you do care about these issues staying on compositorless X is the least bad option.
Of course, we could press the fix this immediately button by requiring acetaminophen to be sold mixed with NAC but that would be too easy.
