The depths you have to sink to to get what honestly feels like an attempt at a charity point, but if that wasn’t assumed it wouldn’t have become the product in its position.
If there was an actual push to get compatibility worked out, it very well could. Seems more like a corporate holdback than a technical issue.
That would almost count, if it was significantly different at this point.
They’re isn’t one positive thing to say about it at all. Not even one.
x11.conf is one of my first memories about anything Linux.
I remember when I was just trying it (back when “edgy eft” was new) via live booting it, the very first customization I had to make was editing that for to allow my extra mouse buttons to work (the back/forward buttons that are common now were pretty new-ish back then, and by default it only worked with the 2 main buttons and the wheel (and the wheel button).
The files are not “little”.
What he really means is “y’all are too focused on things that make us look bad”, which is also everything.
Maybe for some people. But I can’t think of a single wardrobe-based turnoff that’s as severe.
I feel the same towards those. Like I said, it can still exist, but should not be the default for “serious business”.
I realize (or assume) that was the royal “you” there, but personally I have a cartoon character’s wardrobe basically. Shorts and solid colored tees. No piercings or tattoos, and I’m bald.
There is one tattoo I have picked out that I might get eventually, but my doctor has strongly advised against it. But I might just say “fuck it” one day and just be super duper careful about infection prevention (in my condition that is very likely to happen, while also being a waaay bigger problem potentially than it is most people).
But it would be more personally significant than a decoration to me.
Now that part we need to normalize. Ties are useless, annoying, uncomfortable, and I’m done cases potentially dangerous. I think they’re ugly af personally, but I think women think they look good? Or maybe they’re more attached to the status that sometimes comes with them.
I could go on a whole rant, but I understand that in certain circumstances a uniform might be useful, it helpful. But I’m so other circumstances, wearing something formal should never ever be expected or demanded.
Leave it as an option for the sickos who convince themselves they really want to and it’s not a phase, but I have a feeling that once getting rid of suits and ties becomes the default, no one will ever want to outside of actors playing characters dated sometime between their invention and riddance), and maybe for some weird sex stuff.
People look better when they’re comfortable. Let them be comfortable, even at work.
I’ve already told my younger siblings that when I’m dead (not that I’ve decided exactly what should happen at all yet), that under absolutely no circumstances do I want a stuffy formal funeral, or even burial. Humans made a mistake creating the funeral industry.
One of my brothers is a little annoyed at that, as I do have a funeral director as a brother. But he’s known me longer than he’s worked there, so he’ll get over it. Not like I would ever sit a funeral anyway. But that’s not why I don’t want one.
This is where the rant would really start, but I could go for a while on this subject (and the tangential ones that would come up, like getting to funerals from ties).
Humans don’t typically submit massive amounts of code frequently. Now any script kiddie-level idiot is out there feeling like they’re a goddamn wizard. Meaning there a LOT more submitters vibe “coding”, hence the submission problem.
Every single character should be handcrafted, and the author should know what every piece is doing (and how it’s doing that) at any point you can point at. Skipping the hard part helps NO ONE.
Even WANTING to use AI to produce code just reeks of the same energy that high schoolers give when relying on Cliff Notes to write a book report.
For starters, maintainers are getting bombarded with “contributions” that are just generated code, because now unskilled coders that can’t even write a “hello world” project are just dumping what they think are great ideas without doing any kind of quality control at all.
Just having to be educated enough to even build a project was a very important barrier to the amount of submissions.
Now any Tom, Dick, or Harry can submit endless amounts of shit to a huge amount of different projects.
Maintainers can’t keep up with the review process for this level of garbage. This has gotta be killing huge amounts of projects, or at least slamming the brakes on them.
Personally I’m totally in favor of some kind of foundational killswitch within compilers that just detects AI output and refuses to compile. Now that just kicks the can down the road because other compilers exist, but you get what I’m saying.
I can’t be arsed to trust any AI code AT ALL. So every single character of it is poison IMHO, but given what it’s currently doing to the industry already (and the fact that we’re still a single digit amount of years into its existence at all), nothing good causes this many problems.
We’re a lot closer to solving capitalism than we are to making any of the effort out towards AI being useful. Until then, any attempt at making it good will just be helping fascists have more tools at their disposal.
It goes way deeper than “but it helps me do stuff”. That opinion honestly reads as if you’re gen alpha.
And even in a perfect world where capitalism is barely remembered as a bump in the road to civilization, I will never be able to trust any code not written by humans. The kids will call that whatever the millennial insult version of “boomer” is, but I hope that attitude never goes away.
If you’re doing your own thing, and you wanna add in some slop code to finish up a little change to something, you go right ahead. But don’t you dare submit that to any actual open source project.
These are not mutually exclusive.
All “generated code” hurts open source, actually.
If there’s ever a question that starts with “should we ban AI”, I vote yes. Delete the post and ban/block the user, first offense, no negotiation. Period.
Roger. It looks like fun to mess with, tho.
Dang, that reminds me of some OS I saw back in the 90s, wasn’t Windows or Mac, tho.
It’s right there on the top of my brain…
5ish minutes of searching later…
OS/2. That’s what it was. That’s what BeOS reminds me of after seeing like 4 screenshots and no other context.
I have no idea what this Dano leak is, or what the context even is. Was some kind of software called “Dano” leaked, or is it the leaker’s handle, or what?
I was just having a discussion about theming in a different chat where a friend of mine was reminiscing about the win95/98 look and getting xfce to look like it.
I get it and appreciate the nostalgia, but I’m my opinion, I feel the same way I do about when I lost religion. I do have nostalgia for the period when I was learning computers in the beginning, but I don’t want my current computer to resemble Windows at all, much like I don’t decorate my place with crucifixes or pictures of white Jesus.
My hatred of the “before times” is much stronger than a theme preference, but I treat the two visual preferences similarly.
I hate apple just as much as I hate windows, but I do like having the stoplight colored buttons for close/maximize/minimize. But nothing else is precious OS-flavored.
As someone that glanced and just parked at the gif, what’s the misleading part?
I mean, I’m very white, but it still feels like this with all their false positives. Even if they don’t actually shoot me, I have a ton of medical issues and will 1000% for6 in their prison.
Still won’t vote orange though.
I hope his body tortures him on the way out. Actual complete suffering and conscious awareness of what is happening. And do it in 4k.
Any time someone has a bad day, show em him screaming in pain before he goes limp. Makes everybody feel better every time.
I mean I find it annoying. It feels like the time switch leans harder in the direction time is already shifting, making it feel more like a 2 hour switch. So just remembering what a certain time means at a certain point of the year seems to make more intuitive sense.
But if it’s gonna benefit golfers at all, I suggest changing blocks 4 times a year, or however many times would make golf impossible. I fucking hate golf and I hate golf enjoyers, because they tend to be old rich white people.
So anytime to make golfers suffer is a win in my book.
