imagine creating such a word salad to distract from the fact that the only tenable operating system going forward for the next few decades is "everyone runs linux, but all software that we run is in the form of Windows EXE files because even using wine or proton at least you can actually just click on them and they run"

i've had a hard time explaining this to linux people, it's like explaining water to a fish. they just say "security" over and over or something. they say something like "you cant do static libraries or vendor your shared objects because theres uh theres like a second hard drive usr bin usr local bin. ken and dennis ran out of disk space uhhhh . .. dynamic linking save memory.... windows insecure .... use Docker? use flatpak" or whatever

the problem isn't that updates can cause undesirable changes. that happens on every OS: windows has malevolent updates every day. the issue is that, due to the interdependent nature of software on a linux system, you are forced to update most things, most of the time, whether you like it or not, as a basic prerequisite of using the system at all. my opinion? about this design?? it's Bad! ! !

this thing happens really often, but the latest one that happened to me this week was with desktop icons. after an update, the selection rectangle around them looks weird and different, and the icons are the wrong size, they're clipped so you can't see the icon fully or read the label. haven't attempted to fix it, will probably take at least an hour. it makes me feel like the computer isn't really mine. it belongs to a bunch of nerds who keep making weird mistakes. a kind of clumsy nerd cabal

a big reason i use linux is because it gives me Control over the computer. no windows dark pattern spying shit. i can set up everything to look and function exactly how i want. but every couple months there's a package update that overrides or changes something so it no longer works how i configured it. they just reached in and broke something i worked hard on. and i have no choice in this, because you need to eventually update packages to install new ones. i don't really feel in Control at all

i often wonder about the value of very specific files that i keep around. im one of those people who has the entirety of old hard drives from 20+ years ago that were dropped into folders that persist to my current hard drive. so whenever i'm running backups i see the files going by. files which are called things like "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4.msi" and like. in theory somebody might need that one day. but how would they know that i, of all people, have it? how would i reach them

i reckon much of the value in 'asking an AI' is just that it makes you phrase your problem as a question with a defined scope, a specific context, and clear expectations of what the solution should look like. once you've typed out your question, a lot of the time you don't even need to hit 'send'. you've probably already thought of an answer. but let's say you hit 'send' anyway. the LLM begins to reply. its answer is a lot like yours! great minds think alike, huh. this AI must be real smart

i think that as computers penetrated the mainstream, it became clear that the majority of users only have a few basic things they want. most of the vast and rapidly-expanding potential of the machine would sit there, untapped. a wasted resource. this gap had to be filled with something, which is how we ended up with computers where the user does the few basic things they want, and then the computer secretly does a ton of other different things they don't want
