I think “AI slop” is the de facto nomenclature.

If being asked to confirm that you have not committed war crimes makes you uncomfortable, then you might be a war criminal.

I’m pretty sure Japan’s immigration asks if you’ve ever been convicted of a crime, so how is this any different?

I mean, yes, that’s how it should be. Refactor it before implementing new features.

I think what many people really need to feel confident switching to linux is an expert who is willing to guide them through it and offer support.

The DIY install guide is a joke.

Ben, you should smile more. You look prettier when you smile.

Honestly I have no idea what the main point of this video is.

EDIT: I watched it again. I think they’re basically saying:

Stop worrying about the wrapping paper and bow that Linux comes in, and start worrying more about the actual desktop Linux platform.

I don’t think we have to choose one over the other though. And I don’t think it’s a waste of time to make the experience of managing software packages and customization better. I’m not necessarily talking about “ricing” your desktop. There are legitimate reasons to prefer certain software modules over others, e.g. window managers and compositors.

It’s also pretty annoying to hear them downplay the effort that goes into package management and configuration when it’s one of the main technologies that goes into crafting Linux images for various environments e.g. servers and embedded systems. Desktops are actually a small minority of Linux systems.

So I guess I only agree that it would be nice to have more investment in the desktop software. But there’s far less incentive for companies to invest in desktop software when developers are happy on MacBooks and the products they’re building are mostly web services. There are a handful of companies building desktop Linux software, but it’s slow going.

Interesting. Where’d you hear that?

I would understand the extreme pushback on this if this made a priest go to hell.

I wouldn’t. Religion shouldn’t get a fucking hall pass for arbitrarily bad shit because “we don’t want to go to the scary place we made up.”

You read this in a very specific Italian American voice.

Damn it. You’ve added a grammar pet peeve to my already long list.

Seriously, they’re just gonna put the geometric mean of all benchmarks and claim that means anything? Maybe it means something for people who don’t care at all about what their most performance-sensitive workloads are.

ntopng has all of that. I’m currently hosting it on my home router.

Yea instead of firing you they’ll try their hardest to get you to quit. They’ll send you to the 追い出し部屋.

I agree and at this point I think I’m just making a semantic argument. To me, “Nazi sympathizer” implies that you share the beliefs of the Nazi party. But I’m not sure there is an agreed upon definition for this. Regardless I think it’s worth drawing a boundary between “people that share Nazi beliefs” and “people that tolerate Nazis”, and so I find it a little careless to use “Nazi sympathizer” as a blanket term for both. People might get the wrong idea when you start labeling them that way.

Not my actual favorite, but it’s very high on my list, and I didn’t see it posted yet.

Trump already has the sexual assault conviction, I’d say he’s a shoe-in for pope.

I see no reason to migrate from sway.
