AI is hallucinating its way into research, and that’s not even where the problem starts Lazy, or even fake articles written by LLMs are wreaking havoc among scientists, but only because the scientific publishing industry was rotting on its own.

YouTube is Awful. Please use YouTube, though. YouTube is the one monopoly that we don't talk enough about, and the "YouTuber" is a very misunderstood job.

What if your laptop had a FOSS firmware? Statistically, your computer's firmware is proprietary. However, Libreboot is an interesting, if niche, option to boostrap a computer with free and libre code only.

Opinion: Is the Linux community really elitist? The Linux community is often portrayed as elitist or prone to gatekeeping, but, nowadays, the opposite is true: the community really wants to help you grow, so you can give back one day. You should, however, be careful about niche sub-communities where people's behaviour is not ideal.
