I think its alright. Its better if they start with something simple and understand that there are another 20 really good distributions they can try.

Most users coming from windows dont want to tinker… They just want their system to be a peaceful foundation for what they want to do with their computer.

Amazing. Makes me truly happy.

Yeah but like I wrote, the definition of racist and fascist here is probably very stretched into silly levels. As usual on Lemmy and I guess other social media.

I think it depends very much on what you think is fascism.

Lemmy users sometimes think using harch language is “fascism” because they are young and dont know what real fascism was like.

That being said, I havent read about what the Hyprland devs have been saying or doing, so sure, maybe they are bad people. I will go read about it now.

Edit: I looked into it and its not fascism, as usual. It seems to be the usual stuff that is being called fascism when its not. Its all about how they moderate their forum and how they talk to people there. This is not fascism. Treating people rudely is not fascism. Making bad jokes is not fascism either.

They may be dousches but we wont have another Stalin on our hands from this direction, dont worry. :)

I meant things like preventing stack overflows and memory leaks by the compiler before the program even runs. Of course its possible to write bug free software in any language but rust makes it much easier.

So when a desktop is written in Rust, I feel like its going to be quality work and pretty stable, despite being an alpha or beta version. And thats what ive experienced myself after using it for a month. Its essentially already as stable as gnome, at least on my machine (amd).

Lemmy users dont know shit about how Ai is used. Most are probably still in school. :) My experience is the same as yours - companies are pushing for Ai because it allows employees to work faster and get more done. Significantly so.

I can ask it to create a script to do a task that would have taken hours or days to put together. Things like that are major wins and very, very easy to do.

I frequently ask it to compare tools as well, saving days or weeks of work. Whoever says this technology is not useful is just not using it right.

That being said, making money from this is the question. Companies are subscribing their employees to this stuff, so I think revenue is going to go way up in the coming years, not just from buying chips, but from companies paying for Ai models for their employees.

Any company still doing manual work is gonna be much much slower than the others.

Read about Rust advantages and you will know. :)

You dont care if someone lives or dies unless you know them?

I would help a stranger if they were in any kind of trouble because I would want them to be OK. Guess that answers your question.

Ive seen this pattern in many companies. I would say its the natural evolution of having a strong engineer stick with the same company for many years. He will eventually know so much that he makes his own solutions to fix things. Or she, can be a woman. Even though ive never seen that personally.

Its not a bubble but most people here dont think for themselves. They dont even seem to understand the connection between what news is put out, which analysts they choose to give attention, and for what purpose.

Imagine living your life and just believing whatever someone says in the news just because he has the title of analyst. And never thinking about who profits from that specific guy being on the news at that specific time. Who picked that guy to say what he does and why? Its not random.

Being able to influence the market is key to making a lot of money. How do people think they influence the market? This is how they do it. How else?

Sometimes they probably lose money too, specially when orange man opens his mouth and says something very stupid, like last Friday. But then they position themselves for the coming uptrend and make their money back, maybe even more then they had before, since they have giant pockets.

Sell your stocks, I will buy. :)

People here are very groupthink.

When Tesla was at like 250 in the stock market just six months ago, I said that the stock will recover very soon. But the groupthink here was totally agreeing with eachother that Tesla is gone forever, and people kept posting Elon doing nazi gestures and saying they are done.

Now, the stock is over 400. But no posts is made about that and how maybe the groupthink was completely wrong. Instead the next thing is ongoing.

We have evidence around us all the time how the group is completely wrong in their assumptions. Majority opinion is not right by default.

I work in IT also and everyone I know use it constantly at work, daily. It has flaws and sometimes hallucinates, yeah. But humanity has never had something like this where they can ask questions and get replies that are often completely correct, just not always.

I dont think its a bubble, but thats the point of having a discussion about it. I think downvoting people because they like Ai is borderline retarded.

If you have read threads about this on hacker news, you will see both sides of this. People who like Ai and people who doesnt. But you have arguments instead of downvoting because people are actually smart enough to value the discussion.

Lol ok. :)

These things will evolve and change and improve, as always. When the first car was invented, there wasnt any proper roads for cars. Things change.

Copyright issues are not going to be an issue at all when entire countries are trying to get first to AGI. Nobody cares about that.

Hallucinations are flaws that will eventually be fixed, and the more gpu power that is available, the easier it will be to fix.

Its not interactive. Did you read my comment?

If you dont understand why people are going to pay for that, I dont know what to tell you.

Thats literally the entire thing about Ai, you can have a conversation, not static text and links.

I havent found any bugs myself, not in the actual desktop environment. I run it every day and it has never crashed either.

I love it. It gets basic window tiling done just as good as Hyprland.

Not that often actually. But every time we meet, its very enjoyable. I guess i just feel pretty happy with just me and my girlfriend.
