Glorified network janitor. Perpetual blueteam botherer. Friendly neighborhood cyberman. Constantly regressing toward the mean. Slowly regarding silent things.
The real world use-cases are not what techbro CEOs promised? Who would have thought?
The ”quality” of current gen LLMs limits their usage to secondary tasks like pure code generation, documentation or testing. It’s impactful but nowhere near the point where you start replacing your engineers with it.
Harness it for very specific tasks and maybe you can gain productivity increases but for anything else its going to cost a lot and still need constant handholding
Capitalism makes every innovation into a grift
Pro: It does what I need an OS to do. Mostly, I need it to manage my hardware devices and staying out of my way.
Con: It’s a pain in the ass when it occasionally decides to stop managing my hardware devices and gets in my way.
What do I miss from Windows: Nothing. I’ve been using Linux since 1997. Back then Win95 was absolute shitshow. Idk what it is now. I don’t much care.
But are we though?
It’s a nice plan, but there’s very, very little to show at the moment. Changes take time. Let’s see where we are in a decade or two, eh?
I don’t. I’ve been running Debian since 1997.
From what I read on the Internets, lot of gamers seem to like Bazzite.
Just try it out for a bit. If you don’t like it, switch back. That’s it. It’s not one of lifes major decisions.
If there only was a solution…
It’s crazy someone would write an article about tiling window managers and try to introduce them as the “new hot thing”.
So we’ve finally landed in the reality of the billionaire class vs. rest of the world.
We often hear that Europeans don’t have, like Americans, the “success culture.”
What does that even mean? Europe is 44 countries with VAST number of languages and cultures. It includes Russia by the way. This recent trend of comparing “Europe to America” like they were somehow equivalents and talking having “European alternatives” is a strange piece of feudalism. And now this imaginary Europe doesn’t seem to have “success culture”. Of course it doesn’t because Europe where such thing could exist is just a fever dream.
Europe is not EU either. And even if we’re talking about just EU, it’s really not one homogeneous cultural entity either, it’s 27 sovreign countries, each with their own cultures tied very loosely together in a monetary, free-market union, nothing more.
I don’t know why we’re romanticizing USA by comparing some imaginary European equivalent to it?
Oh well. Get some money, start kicking down. Is that the model? Rather disappointing, I have to say.
