The point of my original post was that their update cadence is slower. The point of my followup reply is that they are not devoid of updates, either.

They have a release every 1-2 years, and it’s packed full for various tweeks, improvements, and new features. They fix broken shit, and enhance where it makes sense.

I don’t need my window manager to get fad features, and I don’t need constant updates. It does what I want it to do already.

xfce ftw.

xfce ftw

I’ll be the first to agree that up/down votes should be replaced with something more functional, but if the current meta is “This is relevant or not” and the OP was unrelated to light/dark mode preferences, then… yeah, downvote. Off topic, doesn’t contribute, randomizes the conversation, doesn’t belong.

People need to stop calling everything “fake news”. First, the shit you see online may be fake, but it’s not news. And second, perpetuating that stupid-ass phrase just gives the morons who coined it more excuses to keep using it.

If you think something is a lie, say so in plain English.

I only work in dumbass terrestrial systems administration, and even we do that (mostly because I pitch a fit when they try to test more than one thing at a time)

I feel like someone in this thread should be calling someone else a tankie, even if only for the meme of it.

I already have it on hand.

SSO can be afforded by more than just cloud services. Look into OpenLDAP.

I may be spoiled in that I don’t play AAA multiplayer games, but I do play AAA single player and indie single/multiplayer (usually the type where one of the players is also the server, e.g. Terraria).

Been running Linux on my systems for more than a decade, and - especially since Proton/SteamDeck enchantments made their way upstream - I haven’t had any major ssues (except having to wait a while to play RDR2-PC in Ubuntu because of a weird game-specific graphics card driver issue, but even that was fixed in due course).

Fuck Windows, and fuck the assertion that it’s the only way to run games.

Usually they just over-pay for their computer because you can’t really buy a system without Windows pre-installed (unless you build it).

I have so many computers that came with Windows installations that I never even booted into.

criminals could use that kinda data for blackmail.

Maybe… don’t say shit on the internet that would embarrass you if associated with your real name?

Who uh… cares? The information is publicly available, that’s how it was scraped… Who would /buy/ this?

And what would they do with the knowledge that Fartknocker72 posted sonic slash fanfics?

Well, considering the speed of your responses, and your obsession with making excuses for shitty software, I’m guessing you’re and LLM, so I’m gonn start ignoring you too. Good luck surviving the hype phase.

If I can’t use the LLM by prompting it the same way I’d prompt one of my colleagues, then it’s not a skill issue; It’s shitty LLM. I don’t care if it’s the input embedder, training data, or the guy who didn’t bother properly building a model that didn’t just spit out bullshit.

If an employee gave me this quality, I’d get rid of them. Why would I waste my time on a shit coder, artificial or otherwise?

An interesting theory, except I know exactly how to do everything I’ve ever asked an LLM about. I would never trust one of these things to generate useful copy/code, I just wanted to see what it could do. It’s been shit 100% of the time. Never even gotten a useful function out of it.

Also “skill issue” is a lazy response. Try reading the post before you reply next time.

Good, fuck 'em. Stop ressurecting dead people with shitty inaccurate software hacks.

Absolutely nothing, because they all give fucking useless results. Hallucinates, is confidently wrong, and isn’t even grammatically competent (depending on the model). Not even good for a draft, because I’d have to completely rewrite it anyway.

LLMs are only as good as the guys training it (who are mostly morons), and the raw data they train on (which is mostly unaudited random shit).

And that’s just regular language. Coding? Hah!

Me: Generate some code to [do a thing].
LLM: [Gives me code]
Me: [Some part] didnt work.
LLM: Try [this] instead.
Me: That didn’t work either.
LLM: Try [the first thing] again.
Me: … that still doesn’t work…
LLM: Oh, sorry. Try [the second thing again].
Me: …

Loop continues forever.

One time I found out about a built-in function that I didn’t know about (in LLM generated code that didn’t work), and read the manual for it, and rewrote the code from scratch to get it working. Literally the only useful thing it ever gave me was a single word (that it probably found on Superuser or StackExchange in the first place).

Right. Like the motive isn’t fucking obvious.

Only 60%?
