Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The only AI function I could see myself using is one that would summarize 15 minute youtube videos into coherent readable text in blog format. That would be nice. Especially when they're posted like this, just links without much context.

From Gemini

The video is about the controversy surrounding how the Linux Foundation spends its money.

The speaker, Brodie Robertson, argues that the Linux Foundation should spend more money on the Linux desktop and less on other projects, such as blockchain and machine learning. He points out that the Linux Foundation employs the vast majority of core kernel developers, but that only a small percentage of its funding goes to Linux kernel development.

Robertson acknowledges that the Linux Foundation is not obligated to listen to his criticism, as it is a member-driven organization. However, he believes that it is still important to have a conversation about how the Linux Foundation spends its money.

Here are the key points:

  • The Linux Foundation is the biggest employer of Linux kernel developers.
  • Only a small percentage of the Linux Foundation's funding goes to Linux kernel development.
  • The Linux Foundation spends money on a variety of other projects, such as blockchain and machine learning.
  • Brodie Robertson believes that the Linux Foundation should spend more money on the Linux desktop.
  • The Linux Foundation is a member-driven organization and is not obligated to listen to Robertson's criticism.

The video discusses criticism of the Linux Foundation and how it spends its funds. While the Linux Foundation is the largest employer of Linux kernel developers, only 2-3% of its budget goes towards that. The rest is spent on various other projects like blockchain, AI, and cloud computing. The video creator argues that the Linux Foundation should allocate more of its funding towards improving the Linux desktop ecosystem, which is underfunded compared to these other initiatives. However, the video acknowledges that the Linux Foundation is beholden to the interests of its corporate members, who likely prioritize the other areas the foundation supports. The video presents the creator's perspective, while recognizing the Linux Foundation's right to spend its money as it sees fit.

I just learned of this site today, all it does is youtube summaries.

In the YouTube video titled "Never Criticize The Linux Foundation Expenses," the speaker discusses the controversy surrounding criticism of the Linux Foundation's expenses, with some arguing that the foundation's support for various initiatives beyond Linux development is essential for the project's viability. The speaker shares their personal opinion that they would prefer to see more funding directed towards improving the Linux ecosystem, but acknowledges that they do not have the right to dictate how the foundation spends its money. They also defend the Linux Foundation's expenses, emphasizing the importance of events, marketing, and legal fees for promoting and protecting the Linux operating system. The speaker encourages individuals to directly support underfunded Linux projects and expresses their desire for more foundation support for the Linux desktop.

I'd post a blog post if there was one

No profit in that, though, so doubt any corpos will do it.

But in theory it should not be hard to do, there has to be a way to extract YT's subtitles by scraping the page in something like Selenium (might be some trouble if they are really generated at runtime or in batches rather than once per video at upload and sent from backend during beginning of playback and simply made invisible in the source), then simply run a summarize prompt on the text to a local Mistral or w/e and have a result. If using 'Open'AI's API, could even have it be a Firefox extension with mobile support.
