Lemmy seems to be anti-AI, at least from my impression, but I am hopeful that AI will help invigorate the open source software world. If people can code better, faster, cheaper, safer (more secure) that will surely apply to open source as well. AI coding tools could bring on the Linux mainstream revolution. Imagine thousands of autonomous agents refining software for Linux. There could be a glut of driver support, apps coming to Linux, and so much more. I am hopeful about it.

Yes, he’s so orange, I can see him being painted with Cheetos flavored Cheetos!!

From that, to 1 TB on a microSD the size of a fingernail. Impressive!

I remember reading about the ‘first’ 8-core CPU by AMD around 2012. My how times have changed. I’m now rocking a 16-core CPU!

Also, computers are so much better and more reliable than 20 years ago. Remember how frustrating they used to be compared to now??

Imagine how much work it would be to vaccinate 1,000,000+ chickens in those big factory farms…

Oh my! So cute!!

This is a really good perspective too!

It is indeed!

They’re all great, I lol’d

Completed a torrent I was downloading for almost 2 years by adding trackers from this list. It helps!

I love the African philosophy of ubuntu: ‘I am who I am, because of who we all are’

I never did a DNA test but both my parents did… How screwed am I?

Looks like Kim Jong Un in his profile pic

I can tell the future based on what color of shirt I wear. If I wear a white shirt, I know I will probably eat spaghetti or pizza that day.

It’s funny but it hurts

Windows = Honda Civic Linux = Fixer-Upper Porsche

I really like this analogy! Makes me want to try again. I think I need a dedicated machine that will ONLY be for Linux, so I can build some troubleshooting ability and learn how to set up all the things I need. I really want that Linux Porsche lifestyle!!

I’ve tried to switch to Linux multiple times since 2008. Usually Ubuntu. I’ve even tried Linux Mint. I can never commit to the switch, I always get buggy behavior, crashes, hardware incompatibility, lack of apps (FL Studio, Adobe, WeChat for PC, etc). There are also dozens of tiny issues, like the sensitivity of the mouse/scroll wheel that feels different from Windows, even after adjusting the relevant settings. Also, for volume adjusting, the volume slider doesn’t make a sound when you change the volume level, unlike on Windows. How is it that not a single Linux distro includes this functionality? I am totally comfortable working in a Terminal if I have to, but every time I follow a terminal walkthrough I get errors; I search the error messages online and I get reading threads talking about bugs that are a decade old, there is never a solution. I am so jealous of people who can immerse themselves in Linux, I just can’t do it. I need my stuff to work out of the box, and for 15 years and many attempts to switch, it has never been the case. I can’t tell if I’m not smart enough, or I just rely too heavily on proprietary software, or I don’t want to dedicate the time to manually fixing problems with terminal commands and scripts.
