Nowadays:
“I’m about to start hunting mice, any tips?”
<output pasted from humanGPT>
“Ask HumanGPT to do it.”
“Bro, you need to start agentic hunting by yesterday, if you don’t want to be part of the permanent underclass. Sign up to our webinar on prompt hunting at <link>, the first few classes are free.”
Wonder how much money did get Nicco from the South African racists if he’s going all in on the brain-rotting LLMs…
One small problem: People are now also using AI to generate summaries of their vibe coded garbage, to push them through checks.
But not on FreeBSD!
Now I want to see a Bringus Studios video titled “Gaming on FreeBSD, because Linux now runs Fortnite”.
Now I have to move to FreeBSD…
Reading The Omarchy Doctrine made me physically cringe. That alone is a good argument to boycott Omarchy.
Yeah, I was thinking of moving onto CachyOS, the new Manjaro, but I’m too lazy to do so on my thinkpad. Maybe I’ll do it on my desktop the moment I really cannot remain on Win10 for my main OS.
Yeah I know, if I had the knowledge and energy, I’d fork the Linux kernel, while removing most if not all the slop contributions. As for the compiler(s), I have plans of forking, and adding my own improvements upon the language too (fixing opApply, etc).
I prefer the original CachyOS, Manjaro (might change, if stuff gets really bad on my own end).
I knew a few people, who eventually completely returned to Windows.
Most of them saw Linux as a “hobby OS to tinker with”, and had problems with the “trans IT specialist” stereotype. They complained every time some Linux-native application got a GUI, or the existing GUI got easier to use. Some of them jumped onto FreeBSD and similar OSes for a while even.
Meanwhile many open source GUI apps are better or at least on par with their proprietary counterpart, but you can’t flex with them onto noobs.
If “non-slop” AI art is anything to go by, then I don’t have much hope for it. I guess it will be “LGTM and it compiles”.
At least until the AI slop updates don’t reach the kernel (at least they’re banned from some parts of it).
Debian might be good for servers, but try using it for work other than server-side stuff. Try installing a productivity application, so you’re not 2 years behind with it! Try plugging in new hardware! Now the tables have turned.
Arch. I’m still having nightmares from trying to install up to date versions of user-space software onto Debian in 2008-ish, usually leading to having to compile it from source, usually leading to having many compiler errors due to make and GCC being quite a few versions behind. All the help I got in those days through forums are links to WinXP ISO torrents, and telling me that to stop ruining their “hobby OS”.
What are the alternatives to systemd? Why people are hating it (besides the AI slop and age verification stub in it)? Why is it not written in the D programming language?
When I wanted to write my own game engine in 2015, people just directed me to Unity. Some people even said that unless I want to work for some company that actually develops the engines, I don’t need to learn API or anything like that. It took a while to people to point me in the direction of SDL for input and displaying a framebuffer (back then I used CPU rendering, as almost no one cared about pixel alignment, hence why my engine is called PixelPerfectEngine).
