The funny part is that despite telemetry that shows how little people interact with Copilot, it still gets shoved down our throats.

Nobody writing anything seriously is going to use Notepad, and yet…

Is the Reddit one serious? I know the lemmy.world one created by madthumbs appears to take itself seriously.

Ubuntu seems universally hated. Why?

But think of the cheese!

To be fair, you can get a $800 high end PC… but it would be used and 4 to 5 generations out of date.

There are also plenty of other good reasons to not support the company behind Brave. Unfortunately, however, I don’t think that’s going to change the mind of anyone who uses it.

I don’t think that’s even actually possible with modern distros. Symlinks are used everywhere and FAT has no concept of setuid.

Is that a genuine question that you want to know the answer for, or is it a setup for calling the person you replied to a hypocrit when they say “yes”?

It’s more like telling someone who’s suicidal that “it’s your own fault you’re unhappy” and then telling them “it wouldn’t kill you to smile for once”.

No one is buying this to not use it for gaming under a subsidized price because there are much better options for that purpose.

If it cost a few hundred dollars less per unit than comparable small form factor PCs, then small businesses probably would. When you only need something that works and don’t care about support contracts or having a standardized hardware fleet, anything cheap will do the job.

If “everything” means your personal information and data, sure.

“Cursor, help me figure out why this request is failing with a CORS error.”

Thinking…

Reviewing sources…

• “Elon Musk on X”
• “Elon Musk Twitter acquisition” townhall recording
• “Programming best practices” and “Elon Musk”

Done.

It looks like everything needs to be thrown out and redone. The whole stack. It’s not good, it’s bloated, it was made by overpaid salary workers.

“What’s wrong with the stack?”

The whole stack. Just the stack. All of it.

Pizza? What is this, a charity? The full-time employees invited to the popcorn party are encouraged to bring their own butter from home.

What would be amazing is if there was some way to have a fully declarative system that was integrated with a system update UI.

You would upload the config somewhere, your family’s streaming box would see a new update is available and either prompt them to install it or install it for them overnight.

If you think Bob is a person with his own opinions and autonomy, yes. If you think Bob is just a nameless cow in the herd with no capability of autonomy and actualization, Bob’s dislike of being punched in the dick couldn’t possibly be anything except the neighbor farmer trying to fuck with your profits.

It’s the same reason cheaters suspect their partners of cheating: projection. They have no moral objection to paying people to voice an option they want signal boosted, and therefore can’t imagine opinions being voiced against them is for any different of a reason.

It sounds like your boss needs to stop being anyone’s boss. That kind of view is going to lead to piles of tech debt and everything that comes with it.

How capable are LLMs at replacing software jobs above an entry-level grade? I imagine giving a gaggle of fresh grads the entirety of human knowledge and asking them to create software would create something, but I don’t imagine the outcome would be high enough quality to have a net positive in productivity after someone has to spend the next 5 years adding to or changing it.

Sounds familiar. Hype first, promise “next year” availability, deliver on promises never.

Not just media companies. Media companies where he has a say over the approval of their mergers and acquisitions.
