@eee @Shlomo Back in the 70's & 80's most bands faded away when their music became formulaic and "repetitive", and we're talking about classics of very high production standards.
What do we get with AI generated stuff? a stream of unending random derivative slop full of glitches, it is going to be a success with the normies I'm sure.
-
@eee @Shlomo I just had a thought, In the future you step into some office where they still have human beings doing very boring and repetitive menial labour, the retarded woman middle-manager from hell comes to greet you and comments: "I love this radio station, they always play the music I like"

@gentoobro @waltercool @sun @genmaicha @newt @ageha This morning I told my boss: "Python is what you end using for listening to hipsters" 😂

@thendrix @matrix @sampo >> They're the pandas of people.
💦 There goes my coffee all over the table. 🤣

Typical display of Indian cringe obsequiousness:

Here is how they calculated the number without having access to Valve's content servers:
Some activist jews made a number of steam accounts, they added "jewish objectionable" content, told the ADL who made a scene and immediately made an extrapolation to come with the 1.8 million, but in reality they wanted to come with a 6 million figure.

@MK2boogaloo @teto @BrodieOnLinux @HonkHonkBoom The idea of Wayland is not to replace X11, it runs alongside it.
-
@teto @BrodieOnLinux @HonkHonkBoom There is no specific reason but a multitude of, taking advantage of new tech without having to re-do a house of cards (X.org/X11) each time is one of them, security (often misunderstood) is another, X11's design is really old and weak on some aspects due to its heritage.
-
@teto @BrodieOnLinux Wayland doesn't break things, its problems arise mainly due to unimplemented functionality or bugs in the compositor implementation of the existing functionality.
Wayland (protocol) is often confused with X.org (X11 Display server).
X11 = Protocol (Language: IE: English)
Wayland = Protocol (Language: IE French)
X.org = X11 Display server implementation (A person speaking English)
labwc, wayfire, hyprland, sway, mutter, kwin = Wayland compositors (Persons speaking French)
The issues in "Wayland" are due to bugs in the compositor/s and or due lack of functionality in the "wayland" protocol or the compositor/s.
-
@teto @BrodieOnLinux You're preaching to the convert, I'm X11 through and through.
I do not oppose wayland... once is ready, ATM is a fucking mess not worth of any serious consideration for anything serious save for very specific environments such as kiosks or embedded devices.

@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs This is a pointless discussion, a regular user would be using a friendlier distro like Ubuntu or Mint or Pop_OS! and use whatever software packages the distro provides, exactly like on Windows or MacOS, a regular user will never deploy his OS from scratch in a command line terminal building something like X or the DE from source and then write the configuration himself.
-
@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Used to think like that, until you haven't been in the situation where rebuilding a package/app can save your ass.
I'm not implying compiling shit is right for everybody (Again go use Windows if it works better for you, nothing wrong with that) I'm saying it is a useful thing to have, and whether you like it or not building an app is part of the Unix-like/based/inspired OSes. You are free to dislike it.
-
@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Now you are going to tell me the USB bus is bound to the refresh rate. :facepalm:
-
@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Most people care about the most is input latency, the fact that removing vsync on Windows improves input latency is anecdotal.
I was as surprised as you.
-
@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs > I'm curious where you got the proof that it was (and is) faster then those or Wayland.
Ask any FPS gamer, they will tell you wayland has much lower noticeable input latency.
-
@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler What you call an OS is a combination of programs, and last time I checked there aren't many alternatives with as many programs and hardware support as Linux.
I'm open to suggestions.
-
@charlie_root @dcc @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler I used to get upset a lot with changes to some components and procedures, until I started to read the rationale behind some of these changes.
Generally most of these wheel reinvention efforts are for good reasons (except Gnome, they are the spawn of satan)
What is a problem is that sometimes the implementation (*waylan... cough cough) is garbage or wasn't thought properly when it comes to real world implementation and usage.
Some times the implementation is close to being flawless (IE: pipewire replacing pulseaudio) or they have a weird start and turn out great NetworkManager.

@charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler Using Linux exclusively since 2011, it works, it is stable and you can produce any stuff with it if you are willing to learn how to.
You need to get into the mindset that you'll have to learn to fix Linux issues, and stop thinking Linux is a 1:1 replacement for Windows. It is its own thing. You're accustomed to fix Windows problems so you do not consider them problems anymore. Same goes for everything.
Adjust your expectations, learn what components give you the functionality you want (IE: need smb support on my file browser I need to install GVFS, etc.) And more importantly, learn the fact that not all hardware is Linux compatible, if a $5 WIFI adaptor is not supported by the standard kernel drivers, put it in the bin and buy one that does. Same goes for everything else. You might think that is bad or retarded and that it costs money, but that is how the world works, you do not complain when you find software in a Mac that only works with Apple hardware and vice-versa don't you?
Learn to backup your system when it works (Trivial on Linux) and it is dead easy to recover from any situation, Linux can always be repaired. I haven't reinstalled a single machine at least since 2019, I just keep restoring the latest backup when I change hardware.
And more importantly you need to accept its limitations, when you replace Windows you aren't replacing Windows alone, you're replacing an entire ecosystem.

@matrix Kernighan & Ritchie all the way.

@luithe @eee Not gud. :cryspin:
