"You can now use Debian without Linux" is a misleading headline: should read "A small but growing number of experts can now use Debian without Linux." Most of "us" probably cannot.

AI is technology. An old man rambling about nonsense is not technology. If he was rambling about blueberry pie that wouldn't make this a cooking article.

this is not technology

Good post! Always nice to see actual technology on this sub.

Not about technology.

they're wearing the clothes of "open source" but they run like a proverbial nazi bar: https://drewdevault.com/2025/10/22/2025-10-22-Whats-up-with-FUTO.html

the million dollar question: is a cheesecake technically a pie?

calvin's dad wouldn't be upset by the number of linux derivatives. he'd be thrilled. a whole new world to be autistic about.

aww it's a joke? I actually want this. I'm tired of being surprised by this crap.

Sure, but I feel like the "TAS" part needs a qualifier. Normally a TAS is the logical extreme of a human run. It's like a player piano, it's a script that could in principle be played on the real game.

But a real life runner versus a minecraft "TAS" wouldn't be in the same ballpark, because the real life runner can't magically skip all the load times. It just feels disingenuous to call this a TAS, unless there's a way to real-time verify it.

Debian or Ubuntu because they're stable and well-funded. Makes a lot of stuff easier.
