This is how we have 3 different APIs that sometimes do the same thing, but most times are incomplete when compared to the original v1, who in the meantime wasn’t properly maintained because we were “migrating” and now you have to use bits and pieces of the 3 of them to do anything.

It’s a nightmare. Can’t wait for the next genius to come along and start a v4, that will never be completed and will only re-implement parts of the old APIs while implementing all the new features

I exhaled vigorously through my nose.

I like to imagine that the early heroes who programmed in punch cards and basically raw machine code knew exactly what the CPU was the computer was running, but who knows…

Compiling your own packages only ensures that, well, you’re running packages that you compiled. This definitely does not mean that your computer is running what you intend at all.

Half the time I don’t know what my CPU is executing, and that’s code that I wrote myself.

Some chances only come up once in a lifetime, and I’m not squandering mine!

Being the reigning monopoly isn’t morally worse in a vacuum. The problem is all the skulduggery to get to that position, and to even worse, to keep it.

Shhh!.. Just keep walking and don’t look at them, they’ll ignore you if you’re lucky.

They use arch Linux

Firefox is already the latest version

It’s based on guessing what the actual worth of AI is going to be, so yeah, wildly speculative at this point because breakthroughs seem to be happening fairly quickly, and everyone is still figuring out what they can use it for.

There are many clear use cases that are solid, so AI is here to stay, that’s for certain. But how far can it go, and what will it require is what the market is gambling on.

If out of the blue comes a new model that delivers similar results on a fraction of the hardware, then it’s going to chop it down by a lot.

If someone finds another use case, for example a model with new capabilities, boom value goes up.

It’s a rollercoaster…

Even in Xfce ALT+F4 closes windows. Maybe bro changed it at some point and forgot about it

NGL, you had me in the first half…

I don’t even need it to be fun! I just need it to work, and not stuff me full of scummy invasive spyware and bloatware every time an update rolls around.

Having fun is just that cherry on top!

Are you me?! Also just migrated to Mint, and I’m really impressed. Good level of polish, and stuff just works out of the box.

Currently still have it on dual boot, I’ll give it a week or two and I don’t need Windows in that time I’ll move it to my main M2 SSD and ditch M$

F5, ALT+F4.

Live fast die young.

It definitely should be, but at some point in time, very intelligent people though that this was a Good Thing:

What’s your argument? That they should implement the “American Way” - crush education and paywal it so only the elite can have it while the rest of the nation lives in ignorance?

Because if they end up with a highly educated, liberal population, mankind may actually have a chance to avoid extinction…

This is hilarious. AI doesn’t have the latest news, it’s convinced we’re joking and reality can’t be this bad…

I’m not sure that’s why.

My two cents: I got really annoyed with windows after a random update pushing stuff I don’t want or need, so I spun up Ubuntu. I’ve used a lot in the past, but stopped using it because of anti-cheat in some games, got tired of switching whenever I wanted to play.

Coming back, I find out about snaps. Not a good start, but I found instructions to revert to the good old apt packages I wanted. But then I spent way too long trying to coax the taskbar/system/clock to appear where I wanted them to, plus having things working well in my multi monitor setup, and at some point I just went back to Windows.

I couldn’t care less about distro squabbles, but I do care greatly about usability and polish, and it seems like we’re taking steps back here.

Bro over there was skating at nearly the speed of light, but backwards. Or something, I’m not a physicist.

Writer Cary Bates says that the Supermobile was created as a promotional tie-in for the Corgi Toys toy line: “In my opinion, whenever merchandising needs are dictating story content, the odds of any real creativity or inspiration are severely compromised”.

Yah, we could tell…
