I don’t like tinkering, I want to download something and it works.

And this is what’s keeping Linux at bay. Normies are that to the extreme. They want something that is as simple and resilient as possible, they couldn’t care less about the dependencies or even know what they are. They want a program an app and just install it from an “app store” if possible.

Or even not at all

You either die the hero

2023? Like last year? Like when LLMs were just a curiosity more than anything useful?

They should be doing these studies continuously…

Edit: Oh no, I forgot Lemmy hates LLMs. Oh well, can’t blame you guys, hate is the basic manifestation towards what scares you, and it’s revealing.

Fedora Workstation 40.

On windows until last year, after trying 11 on my T440s which made it unbearably slow so had to start over but instead of going back to 10 tried a bunch of distros.

Fedora stuck, mainly because of gnome vanilla (I really like the paradigm, don’t care about deep personalisation) and how everything just worked great.

Fight me?

I’ll allow it.

Mainly because not American, it’s been 20 years and biggest atrocities have happened and are happening around the world so, yeah. Jokes are funny.

You guys still do that?

No they don’t. They know how much you spent, when and where. They have no idea what you bought, except it’s something that is traded at wherever location.

You know what else there’s a lot of on Reddit as well? Douche nozzles that think that an online discussion forum is subjected to their whims.

What you want is not possible. There. You can go away now because this is the only valid response here. If you find out how to do it you’ll be rich though so, good luck!👍

Chrome because of the integration and syncing and my passwords being available across my devices without having to install another app, and memorising yet another set of login details.

I was in primary school when my father bought our first computer. A new 286.

Using the system back gesture.

Something in Japan I think. A tea house or some kind of lodging business I think.

Ok mate. Suor yourself

You really are limited, must be a pRoGrAmMeR… We’re talking about tech 10 years off, it doesn’t exist, it’s all hypothetical. And you’re asking me how to use it? I’d be fucking rich if I knew that wouldn’t I?

Ok, if you got it you got it, if you don’t I can’t be bothered to spend more time on trying to explain what is a very simple concept that people just don’t want to entertain.

I’m out, see you in 10 years.

You’re stuck in the current paradigm about how software works. What I’m talking about is not a current paradigm and it’s not AGI.

We don’t need AGI for what I’m talking about. You’re fixated on programmatically tell a computer how to do something and I’m not sure you’re just being difficult or can’t grasp or imagine what I’m imagining.

We already have useful LLMs for different tasks. Heck, my team is developing software to perform different tasks using LLMs that if we had to program from scratch we’d be so fucked! Right now, not 2 years after the first version of ChatGPT was released. Do you think this technology will remain the same or will continuously be developed into something that most of us cannot comprehend or will even deny, like you’re doing now?

It’s your right to not agree with me, and I accept it, but don’t say I’m wrong mate, you can’t possibly know!

And don’t talk about AGI or singularity like it’s the next step, you’re doing a disservice to yourself.

Don’t be a condescending little prick, mate.

I’m not talking about an AGI or a singularity. It’s a long way between where we are and what we have now and that.

What I’m talking about will happen in the meantime and will finally allow me to not deal with Prima Donnas who think they’re the last coca cola in the desert because they can copy paste code from stackoverflow.

I’m not talking about an “AI” replacing programmers on coding. I mean making programming and coding obsolete. A new paradigm on how software is made. It won’t be coded. There won’t be different software for different tasks, just one software running everywhere and everything.

But yeah, like I said, 10 years is maybe too little for that.

Which ThinkPad? It can either run things wonderfully or not at all depending on the specs…
