2.5/10 joke, really not hitting the right humor for this community.

1/10 joke, missing a solid punchline.

2/10 joke

Could have had more uniqueness.

Been coding up a little dashboard in the last week, and it’s been making me around 30% more efficient.

And you are right, it’s mostly taking away the boring parts, which is awesome.

As a German, fair enough.

Funnily enough, I think Jesse and James both had their own episodes where they split from team rocket and somehow become very reasonable.

I loved those because it made the plot a little bit more nuanced and interesting.

The potatoes?

No one uses Boolean values anyway and with the amount of resources available on modern systems we can just replace them with integers and we should be fine. This also makes it easier to teach people, as they would learn less different data types.

Yes I’m a software dev :)

At this point I think there is no software dev topic that is somehow not devisive.

1000% agree.

As a software dev, I’m using windows and I know I shouldn’t switch.

Tbh it’s even worse, I can not switch. And that’s why it’s even more ridiculous. Linux power users like to say that you can do everything you can in windows but with more control. And with “control” they are right, but with “everything” more than wrong. Everything that’s not working out of the box is a gamble on time wasted getting said thing to work. For the simplest thing you can be stuck for weeks just by sheer bad luck.

Say you are a software dev? Yeah Linux is pretty solid.

3d artist? Meh. Blender is the last thing that works, otherwise you are stuck. Octane, 3ds max, Maya, c4d, Houdini, v-ray, real flow, … You gotta be lucky to find them to be compatible even if it’s only with a workaround.

Music production? Well you are stuck on LMMS, which is basically only used by very specific experimental artists. Also plugins, especially those with copyright protection will give you one hell of a hard time.

Images? Well gimp is not Photoshop if we’re honest, and stuff like coreldraw is also hard to replace on Linux.

Video cutting? You have to carefully tip toe about everything Adobe, and that’s an awful hassle. And because everyone would love to give Adobe the middle finger, we are slowly realizing how hard it is to replace Adobe and that if you go somewhere, it is not working as well by default, you have to really make it work.

And especially in big enterprises time is money. So every time someone thinks about where to migrate to, how to migrate, or when they are migrating, and than when they have to propose new workflows, new solutions, a bunch of workarounds, maintenance pipelines, etc. it’s just not worth it. Not on a big company scale, and unfortunately also not on a me scale.

At the end of the day, an OS is a tool to me, not a lifestyle choice, a hobby or a commitment. And it shouldn’t be. As long as Linux is at least 2 of those things for everyone that’s not using it, it’s not very compelling to switch. And that goes for every distro.

Btw. this is the reason why I can understand people using apple over windows. Yeah it’s 1000 bucks to take like 20min less to do a thing. But it stacks up exponentially with every device that integrates into Apple’s universe. And if you spend even 20min less per day, that’s already more than 2h per week that you now have to dedicate to other things.

I’m not rich and this doesn’t entice me, but I get it.

So yeah, make a distro that’s not only modular and expendable,but make it also very easy to understand and make it as easy. And make it either as compatible with Windows software or add those features in a different way. And then people like me can dream about a FOSS universe for everyone.

With all the hot takes and dichotomies out there, it would be nice if we could have a nuanced discussion about what we actually want from AI right now.

Not all applications are good and not all are bad. The ideas that you have for AI are so interesting, I wish we could just collect those. Would be way more helpful than all the AI shills or haters rn.

Wait that’s genius. I would listen to Snoop Dogg teaching me particle physics any day of the week.

I can’t remember exactly, but there was some shit going on with contract terms or monopolistic market behavior or something.

That’s the only criticism I’ve seen that was somewhat credible tho.

It’s beautiful

Stick will rot, rock will sit.

Yikes

Very progressive.

I would say the easier explanation might be the right one: they got the formula down, it’s straight forward, and everyone else in advertisement basically does the same, so why bother.
