Using “AI” to manage your #Fedora system seems like a really bad idea

Since 2018, a group of researchers from around the world has crunched the numbers on
👉how much heat the world’s oceans are absorbing each year.
💥In 2025, their measurements broke records once again,
making this the eighth year in a row that the world’s oceans have absorbed more heat than in the years before.
The study, which was published Friday in the journal Advances in Atmospheric Science, found that
the world’s oceans absorbed an additional 23 zettajoules’ w…

The oceans just keep getting hotter
For the eighth year in a row, the world’s oceans absorbed a record-breaking amount of heat in 2025.

Good examples in that article for why a prompt-based system for system administration seems odd: You type a hundred-word question and are told by the AI to use apt when the Fedora system doesn’t use that package manager at all. https://mstdn.social/@osnews/115702679695335298

"IBM owns Red Hat which in turn runs Fedora, the popular desktop Linux distribution. Sadly, shit rolls downhill, so we’re starting to see some worrying signs that Fedora is going to be used a means to push “AI”."

Oil residues can travel over 5,000 miles on ocean debris, study finds
When oily plastic and glass, as well as rubber, washed onto Florida beaches in 2020, a community group shared the mystery online, attracting scientists' attention. Working together, they linked the black residue-coated debris to a 2019 oil slick along Brazil's coastline. Using ocean current models and chemical analysis, the team explains in Environmental Science & Technology how some of the oily material managed to travel over 5,200 miles (8,500 kilometers) by clinging to debris.

Oceans struggle to absorb Earth's carbon dioxide as microplastics invade their waters
A new study reveals that microplastics are impairing the oceans' ability to absorb carbon dioxide, a process scientists find crucial for regulating Earth's temperature.
