True

To add to the last point, for an inexperienced user (like me) pacman works almost exactly the same.

Just replace sudo apt install banana with sudo pacman -S banana

And replace sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade with sudo pacman -Syu

Edit: apparently the “-y” switch is a bad idea

I thought I had but I might try this again because if everything does work I’ll move in a heartbeat.

I use AI quite a bit for when I have to deal with something again that doesn’t have a simple documentation or stack overflow / reddit thread, and I know all too well I will never need agentic anything.

The one most useful AI for coding is supermaven, which is literally just auto complete plus but it doesn’t just do things, it works like any other tab completion.

Pretty sure no software dev at windows has ever really given these things a proper workout and still found them essential. Windows is really out here advertising Linux.

Good game, worth the cream.

Honestly I think it’s usually just because you are getting in a hippo’s way and they get pissy but like 3-ton muscle chonk pissy. I’d imagine to genuinely be hated by a hippo you have to have way more dedication.

So true

I tried but there’s so many things that I need to be able to turn from bad to good in just a few clicks, and that’s basically irreplaceable for me rn.

I tried reaper and even if I learned it more thoroughly it would still result in 3x the time on every single process in song production, mix & master and that’s unacceptable for me.

Heard a lot about bitwig and that would probably be my preferred alternative but that unfortunately still leaves the issue of third party Plugins.

I’ve been trying to find a way to do this properly for quite a while now but I have yet to find a way to do this that’s sustainable long term.

Not trying to talk down your suggestions because I genuinely think they could work for others, just adding more information to why that’s unfortunately not enough for me to switch completely.

Btw for my servers and backup notebooks I already use lots of Linux. Anything not main driver kinda works perfectly with Linux and most of all it keeps on working when I need it. In fact I suspect my hardware will give in before the os and or software will pose any issues.

The more I look into trump the more I see someone with no introspection, incredibly low emotional intelligence and an extreme need for attention and acceptance. He is being profoundly primal in his goals but he goes to extreme lengths to preserve a way to them. This is why I completely agree with you. His goal is incredibly primitive: to keep being the center of attention. He knows he can’t keep all his avenues open because he is losing “loyalty” and supporters; in government but also in his voting populus. His goal will never be to specifically kill Americans but he sure as hell doesn’t mind risking their lives for other goals, and he will grip and claw to preserve as much power in government as he can, using basically every tactic under the sun.

At least that’s what I expect from him and that perfectly lines up with your overall feeling. It fucking sucks to see what we’re in for, but sometimes it’s nice to see how predictable he can be and sometimes knowing what will happen is better than absolute chaos, even when what will happen is generally bad.

Honestly right now there’s no way to use 90% of the industry standard audio plugins and most popular DAWs on Linux. FL Studio and Ableton do work on Linux but very unstable and as long as they’re not stable you can kinda skip the latency talk, because stability is quintessential. You are bound to native plugins and as long as alternatives are way harder to use and take longer to learn configure, there’s a massive overhead, not even talking about the ones that genuinely do not work even with wine and or winetricks, bottle, etc…

The same goes for video and photo editing as well as post effects. Although I have to admit you genuinely have more options and some setups even though not much more stable to technically work already.

Games are also annoying but I just don’t play valorant or battlefield 6 or any other games that are kind of incompatible by design, so if that was the only thing I could manage.

And lastly (but everyone knows), office compatibility is still an issue because sometimes I need to do something in Microsoft office to ensure it still works when I send it over.

Honestly the real deal breaker for me is the first paragraph. I currently mix & master a band and produce music by myself, with friends and do small audio jobs for other people. Gimme an environment I don’t have to pour another decade into and I’ll switch. In it’s current state I will not place a bet that if I give it my all things will still work when I need them to and that’s the bare minimum.

I have to say one thing though: you have every right to be pissed that this is what your tuition money is used for.

But that’s kind of a different conversations and generally a lot of the things your university uses your tuition on are very debatable.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Nothing outlined makes me think this is particularly pro AI. This is more of a reaction to it. Making people understand AI better is a good idea. Providing an AI platform on premise so as to not transmit all of the conversations directly to open ai servers is also a very good idea.

Whether you wanna decide to use it or not is up to you, but all of these things are a) optional and b) they sound quite sensible to me.

Why ban him from future marathons though? Assuming it’s the right decision to completely kill his run, why would you ban him from any future events? It’s not like he will bring his toddler next time just to be stopped again.

I tried Deezer and tidal for a month each. They were both alright, however their offline download for bigger playlists straight up sucked, so that took some sanity out of me and I had to switch back to Spotify ultimately.

Please keep this in mind if you ever consider switching.

Ball of yarn on e6. Also don’t worry about your ethnicity, it’s not racist.

As a cis white guy, every trans person coming out is making this world more happy. Feels like some new colorful paint on individuality.

Even if you only outlived some of us, it’ll be well worth that future.

I mean romance is all feels and feels are hormones and hormones are science or something

Idk my mom always said something about ornithology and melittology.

That’s what I’m saying. Let’s say 10% of the time the code is good. It doesn’t matter where it came from, you test it and accept it.

If it’s bad code from an AI, you will see it’s bad code, if it’s good code from an AI, you will see it’s good. If it’s bad code from an amateur, you will see it’s bad. If it’s good code from an amateur you will see it’s good. If it’s bad code from a professional you will see it’s bad, and if it’s good code from them you will see it’s good.

You can complete ignore the source. And there’s always a few people sources spamming PRs, but you will be able to block them.

AI never mattered, the code always did.
