It’s good for linux, it’s just not impressive for epic at all, they’re starting to catch up to where steam was 20 years ago on linux support.

Idk what we mean by wrong but it’s just dumb and causes self inflicted stress. Yes i use microsoft at work because they tell me i have to, i dont complain about it on the internet because that would just be wasting my energy for naught. And no monopoly has ever self policed itself and never will. The problem is the laws passed so go complain to your local politicians instead. And if microsoft was the first company to ever self police itself out of a monopoly, google and apple would instantly suck up all that market share.

And yet ultimately the answer is to refuse to buy from those companies.

Im not super tech saavy, especially compared to the lemmy userbase, but every complaint about software just reads to me like whining about something you chose to install on your computer. You can just not use someone else’s software, yes the mainstream software companies are fucking assholes and they will take all of your data and privacy in exchange for a subscription to their software. It’s on you if you accept that deal.

Yeah i like to think if you’re smart and ask good questions people are happy to help

And yet id rather listen to the same ten records over and over again in my grandparents big old house than listen to anything at home in my tiny cramped apartment.

Exactly most people are happy because of netflix and I just was never even tempted to sign up for it. But hey im the weird one wcyd.

We still have no clue how magnetism works either lol.

These LLM are just new technology, they had the same complaints about cars a hundred years ago too, and yes lots of people die in car crashes nowadays and how many more from the industry and pollution? But we move forward, humanity makes progress most centuries, idk maybe this century is one of those steps backwards, but we gotta stop acting like everything that happens today is unprecedented. We’re a blink of an eye in terms of just human history much less cosmic history.

Interesting because i think i identified the same problem as you but i think of it as delusion. A lot of people (most people?) honestly believe that being smart means figuring things out with little effort. But all the smartest people ive ever met are extremely well organized and hardworking BECAUSE they’re so smart. They’re able to see the big picture and have a very sharp insight that problems are solved with an organized well planned approach, which often involves a lot of tedium.

Smart people aren’t bored by that, they see how the tedium ties directly into success/solutions/rewards. Dumb people really believe that they can be smart by divining solutions and that could not be further from the truth
