Stay the fuck off my kernel. Signed, me

You understand that quite a few things you listed as an advantage of Emacs I see as a disadvantage, don’t you?

Edit: and then they clame systemd is a bloated mess

True. It works more to my liking, and that’s enough for me

KDFCE boy :)

We could do the same by properly informing newbies about what Arch is and what it expects of a user… but who am I kidding. A negative deterrent is anyway needed, you are right

It will take some time, as I am preparing to move from one place to another with a few animals. But provided with a way to do it, will do

Well, what a fest of dumb elitism and delusional farce in the comments. I need more popcorn and that you deeply for posting this

You cannot trust people to think for themselves, we already have issues with that and now we distributed chatbots to everyone so learning is even less necessary.

True that. No question here

Except what is the functional difference? Please elaborate.

I am not “getting dopamine when it’s right, and then prompting again when it’s wrong”, I am just offloading the work of typing the text. What the code should do, how it should do it, how much effort to spend on processing this or that edge case/possible problem - still all me. Another version of the same: I don’t care that an llm also writes tests and they are green: who cares if they are green when the core logic can be still all fucked up

We are talking different languages here. You: “if you let AI do your thinking for you, your ability will decrease”. True, of course. Me: “you can use AI to help without outsourcing actual thinking process to it”. Also true. And of course it is true that too many people are taking the shortcut and this should be addressed

Doesn’t look like it. Outsourcing thinking is one thing: “hey, ai, implement this feature, no mistakes --> straight to production”, outsourcing writing code is another thing: “hey, ai, write such and such code --> review --> this is not needed, that should be done this way --> rinse and repeat, then testing, and only then production”

Edit: problem is, I have no sensible ground to believe enough people at microslop do the latter. Nor am I optimistic about this percentage in general, including people of other professions

Stale Nutela is a greta pun!) Also, agree

Me. But a wide curved one + sway/i3 window manager

Duh. Why do you think I switched to Linux the moment I learned it existed

Rust

And they still tell me that Linux is scary because terminal

Exactly as in the post. I already have Heroic, so who cares

Hot take: oh, linux systems do operate normally. Until they get butchered by user

I like your honesty. So let’s go further with this:

See, you’re so deep in the sauce you’ve lost all perspective;

No, that’s true for you: what your average computer user is, that’s what you think anyone not proficient with computers is. News flash: “average person” is wildly different depending on where it is measured ©

No, windows users hate the constant restarting for updates, if it all happened in the background they wouldn’t even notice. Just look at Mint.

So, updates (edit: reboot) are needed for it to work properly. What was your point again?

This is sophistic and stupid

No, this is something anyone paying attention to words knows.

If you’re so desperate you’re reaching for “words don’t mean anything akshully” you already know you’re wrong

Lol. I already know I am right, having spent years learning languages

You are not a user, you are a power user like me and everyone else in this thread. Regular users don’t go online to discuss their OS. It’s the height of narcissism to think you’re the person being talked about here.

True, I am a power user. So I am not using arguments like “if I can do it, anyone can”. Also not true, the “think you’re the person being talked about here” is your invention about my thoughts. You did not disappoint, thank you

Oh, so you are from one of my favourite gangs - “terminal is scary and a no-go”. Okay, I am yet in a good mood, so

apt, pacman etc are all commands that require a minimal understanding of the terminal, and the average person does not have that

they don’t require that. “open terminal, type this incantation, press enter” requires zero knowledge of how any of that works. Also, “average person” is wildly different depending on where it is measured

Regular users just want it to update itself in the background

Bullshit. You ever seen threads of how windows users hate its forced updates fuckery?

The only thing they understand about “apt upgrade -u” is the word ‘upgrade’ - the rest might as well be ancient sumerian to them

So let it be sumerian. Only thing anyone cares about is they know how to use it

Even remembering the short phrase is infinitely more complex than pressing a clearly labelled button

First - bullshit. Second - “clearly labeled” my ass, because human language is not maths, any text can be understood very differently depending on a number of things

You will never convert a single user by trying to convince them to use any form of CLI over a GUI

That made me chuckle. Go on, give me more insights about my life, it is so funny

So you don’t learn OS wizardry and don’t fuck around with working machine when there is stuff to do, duh. This doesn’t depend on OS in use
