@prologic@twtxt.net when I first “fed” the text to Gemini, I asked for a three paragraphs summary. It provided it. Then I asked to “elaborate on three areas: user experience, moral/political impact, and technical/legal concerns”. The reply to that is too long for a twtxt.
I then asked to counter the OP opinions—as in “how would you counter the author’s opinion?”. The reply was very long, but started like this:
“That’s an excellent question, as the post lays out some very strong, well-reasoned criticisms. Countering these points requires acknowledging the valid concerns while presenting a perspective focused on mitigation, responsible integration, and the unique benefits of AI.”
What followed was extensive, so I asked for a summary, which didn’t do justice to the wall of text that preceded it.

Lauren Gambino , Political Correspondent - The Guardian (U.K.)
Stephan: Today, we got what may turn out to be good news about the continuation of SNAP from two courts with ethical judges. That is, if the Trump coup administration follows what the court orders. That used to be a given, but under the Trump coup, that is no longer always the case.

The Linux boot process: from power button to kernel
You press the power button. A second later a wall of text scrolls by, or a logo fades in, and eventually Linux appears. What happens in between is not magic. It is a careful handshake between tiny programs and a very literal CPU. This part follows that handshake until the very first line of C code inside the Linux kernel runs. ↫ 0xkato’s blog Exactly what it says on the tin. ⌘ Read more

LineageOS 23 released
The LineageOS project has released version 23 of their AOSP-based Android variant. LineageOS 23 is based on the initial release of Android 16 – so not the QPR1 release that came later – because Google has not made the source code for that release available yet. Like other, similar projects, LineageOS also suffers from Google’s recent further lockdown of Android; not only do they not have access to Android 16 QPR1’s source code, they also can’t follow along with the latest security patche … ⌘ Read more
