One of my coeds is in his late 60s. Go to school for the love of learning, and treat the piece of paper as a bonus

First it was for performance, OpenSuse back in like 2004, since then its just what I’m familiar with. I don’t feel like I need to fight the OS like I do on windows machines.

Sometimes I have to use windows in a VM or I need some Software that only works on 2000/XP (psxn00b sdk) and for that I have an old machine that I use.

Since they added free-form window management.

Just an example:

I’m a programming student. In one of my classes we had a simple assignment. Write a simple script to calculate factorials. The purpose of this assignment was to teach recursion. Should be doable in 4-5 lines max, probably less. My coed decided to vibe code his assignment and ended up with a 55 line script. It worked, but it was literally %1100 of the length it needed to be with lots of dead functions and ‘None->None(None)’ style explicit typing where it just simply wasn’t needed.

The code was hilariously obviously AI code.

Edit: I had like 3/4 typos here

I like Tk for banging out a UI really quick.

I’ve been following the sm64-psx project.

Yesterday I even got the game to compile, AND show the SM64 splash screen on real PS1 hardware

I think they’re holding it near their patio door for better lighting

Can you not talk about my porn habits in public? Thanks.

Documented on the Arch wiki for months now.

Starting from Plasma 6.4, the Wayland session has matured enough to become the default and preferred one: the X11 session is only available separately with the plasma-x11-session package…

It uses Wayland, and the available sessions are…

In my experience:

Breaking manjaro is the gateway to a vanilla Arch install

I don’t think its open source, but ive had no issues with Resilio Sync in the past. Works on all major platforms.

Clickbait title: They’re not urging folks not to Update, they’re urging folks to read the known issues and workarounds page because gnome and plasma are both killing X11 support.

Weirdly, my Arch System has a bog-standard absolutely uncustomized kde plasma install.

Its the Debian system which has been customized to hell and back with i3 and lxqt. I’d like to switch to sway but my gpu does NOT like wayland.

Oh wow 256 MB, that’s so much more than I’m used to working with!

Explore weird OSs! I got an old Celeron D workstation just for playing around with weird old operating systems.

Its got a 32 bit bios but 64 bit celeron, so the grub stuff has been fund 😅

Its not a search engine, its a data digester. Dont use it as a search engine. Despite what alphabet, micro-shit, and DDG think, AI chatbots do not now, nor will they ever make good search engines.

This is a prime example of why access to these tools should be restricted to computer scientists and research labs. The average person doesn’t know how to use them effectively (resulting in enormous power wasted by ‘prompt engineering’), and the standard available models aren’t good at digesting non-linguistic data.

I’m not gonna downvote you, or be like all “AI is the devil and its gonna kill us all” but people need to use it correctly or we ARE going to kill ourselves with its waste heat.

Edit: ficksed an werd

Oh, well I mean, arson isn’t normally cute is it?

I’m not sure I understand the question

I used to watch Lunduke’s linux Sucks speech every year it came out. What happened to that guy? Was he always the worst and I didn’t notice til 2020?

Well that’s embarscing
