1984@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.world•Why are AI companies suddenly opening up coffee shops?English0·5 hours agoPeople will be very surprised when they are wrong about this, and the IT field actually grows because of Ai.
Hang in there, I think you will be fine.
But this is an actual fact… People who drive under the speed limit are bad drivers. Either they are not paying attention to speed signs, or they are scared to drive a car. Both are not great for a driver.
Also slow cars are causing accidents because they frustrate people into doing stupid things.
At least people who drive fast have confidence in their abilities to read traffic. But its also stupid if they drive way too fast and cant handle it. That also causes accidents.
So I would say, a bit faster than the speed limit is perfect. Doesnt annoy anyone, still very safe. I often drive 10 km/h faster then speed limit.
I think people just dont know how good it is. The apt system with fixed versions is super annoying compared to arch. I have never felt that i need to stay on some old version of software ever. Sure there has been a few times when some version is bugged and then I just stayed on a old version for a few weeks, which is very easy to do with pacman.
Im almost envious of you… I did that like 15 years ago and there is so many fun things to run and learn. So many desktop environments, tiling window managers, programming languages, ricing attempts…
I used arch almost all the time, with just a few times trying other distros to see what they are about. But nothing is as good as arch, mostly because of the AUR and its excellent docs.
Now bazzite is the new hot thing so could be fun to try that I guess, but dont want to remove my lovely arch.
1984@lemmy.todayto Linux@lemmy.ml•Bazzite surpasses 30k active users, gaining 5k users since two months ago 🎉1·5 hours agoDistrobox seems to be a container… I wonder how well that works with applications following system themes and being able to be seen in app launchers.
Its interesting but my experience is that usually you do get some issues with solutions where apps are not native.
1984@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.world•Are we living in a golden age of stupidity?English0·15 hours agoYes but this has accelerated it. I dont actually read anything anymore. I just ask chat gpt. In the end, it will make me dependent on it. And so many people will go that route, for different reasons.
Doing a web search now feels like wasting a lot of time when chat gpt has the answer already.
I think this is already changing everything. School system, education, learning, jobs, careers, etc.
1984@lemmy.todayto Linux@lemmy.ml•Bazzite surpasses 30k active users, gaining 5k users since two months ago 🎉23·15 hours agoSince its immutable, I imagine that a lot of apps may not “just work” and need special packaging or configuration. But I havent used it. What would you say? Apps just work or they need anything special? Will Flatpaks work?
Also murdering people on boats and showing it on live tv… Wow.
1984@lemmy.todayto Linux@lemmy.ml•Bazzite surpasses 30k active users, gaining 5k users since two months ago 🎉27·21 hours agoI havent tried it but I cant see how it can be better than arch Linux with its AUR. Almost all software that exists is right there in its latest version.
Fedora feels a lot more limited. I think just because bazzite is novel, a lot of people are trying it now. I dont think the popularity will last. People will understand that they get many issues with it and go back to a normal Linux.
1984@lemmy.todayto Linux@programming.dev•5 reasons you should ditch Windows for Linux today101·21 hours agoTo me, my activity on my own computer being monitored by Microsoft is the only reason i need to not use it.
And I do actually think you may be slightly mad to be OK with that. Maybe because you feel you get a “free” operating system. I think thats the mentality of a slave.
1984@lemmy.todayto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How would you quickly describe Lemmy to a non-fediverse person?0·21 hours agoIts like reddit without the content and with silly keyboard warriors. But at least not big tech. :)
Ive been here two years and have made 5500 comments so I guess im quite an active user of this place. Its not too bad. But absolutely an huge echo chamber.
Lemmy.today if you want to be able to see the entire fediverse. Its pretty much the only one that gives the full experience. And yes, it wont shield you from reading posts you dont agree with. So stay away if you want that.
For people who cant even stand Lemmy.ml, then just use Lemmy.world.

I would say Linux users who install software from the web knows what sites to trust. The beginners use the app store.
Also your alias is grimreaper. Why do i feel like you are on your way to becoming a mass murderer or a school shooter…
Your parents were treating you badly?
I bought a bambino plus espresso machine with a vs3 grinder!
Will be fun to get real coffee at home.
Thats because you dont have savings. If you did, you would feel like you could actually work less and choose more fulfilling work instead of sucking the corporate tit until you retire.
If you are young reading this, start saving money so you can get the hell out while you still have some life left in you.
Pointless meetings.
Pointless and harmful forced commuting to and from office.
Pointless agile ways of working.
Pointless managers.
Pointless eating expensive lunch.
Pointless learning of frameworks that gets replaced in a year.
Pointless forced team events.
Thats great but im not sure its very specific to bazzite. Ive been gaming on arch for many years and all games work, pretty much. :)
Have you tried to install apps from the arch AUR? Im curious if they follow the system theme and if they are found by the system launcher as ordinary apps. They are running in a container so i wonder if that makes them behave differently. Flatpaks can have the same issues.
