It’s time to play “Is this Fascism or Bad Sarcasm?”!

but I get constant video recommendations on YouTube from Tech Bros telling me to install this thing, and then 90% of Lemmy hate it,

It’s run by a fascist. That’s why the techbros like it and Lemmy hates it.

Maybe ram usage? Bazzite is one of the bulkiest distros on that front, sitting at ~4GB usage at idle. I have no idea where SteamOS sits in comparison though

Why isn’t GRUB menu a fancy little thing by now?

Because you can’t improve on perfection

I filled out an IT helpdesk request last week because I couldn’t push any updates to GitHub. I was able to access the site, so I though my access token was retired since that happens every once in awhile.

Nope. It was GitHub. For some reason it couldn’t accept my push despite the website still being up. And I didn’t find out until the tech called the the next day and it worked when I tried to recreate it in front of them

Yes. The guy habitually puts his foot in his mouth

I don’t buy that. They were making money hand over fist with Deep Rock Galactic well before then

To Valve’s games only. Meanwhile EGS was signing exclusivity deals with everyone they could

And they do everything they can to avoid any upgrades to their store. It took them 2 fucking years to add a cart to make multiple purchases at the same time. Before, if you wanted to buy a game and all its DLC, you had to purchase each of them separately.

No. Go give money to Itch.io and GOG instead. They’re not wannabe monopolists like Timmy Tencent

the trend of only having mouse button integrated into the touchpad.

Then there are governments and companies in the world who suddenly switch lot of machines at the same time.

Yep. Both Germany and France’ governments are actively switching to Linux and open software as a matter of policy

They make their money elsewhere

They make a lot of money on Office365, which doesn’t work on Linux without WINE. With people switching to Linux, they’re going to start switching to LibreOffice and OpenOffice, killing one of MS’s cash cows.

Of course, I don’t expect C-suite execs to be capable of thinking that far ahead

It still can be a pain at times (complex chamfers and fillets don’t have particularly rugged calcs), but yeah it’s gotten better over the years

Some of the hate for snaps is because it’s Cannonical trying to use its install base (Ubuntu) to push a particular format on the entire community as a vector for control

There’s a special place in hell for the person that started the trend of only having mouse button integrated into the touchpad.

The mission of Codeberg is to kill GitHub

Is it? Or are you deciding that for them?

Context for those out of the loop, Geoff Thew runs an anime review channel on YouTube called “Mother’s Basement”.

And in case anyone asks, back when I followed him he had moved out of his mother’s basement to live with his girlfriend. No idea if that’s still the case

Programmers already spend about as-much of their time, if not more, reading other’s code as they do writing their own.

And how is this an argument in favor of AI code? If 5-10 percent of you job used to be writing code and now you dropped it by half, that’s not very effective of optimization. Especially if the code you now have to review takes more time to review due to it being generated by AI.

and its clear you have negligible programming experience, or creative experience for that matter, to be coming after the concept of sharing code like-so.

As someone with several years of experience as a programmer: fuck off with this elitist nonsense

Yeah, that tracks
