AI is fine if you know what you’re doing and can correct the mistakes it makes (i.e. use it as fancy code completion)

I’m not a developer and i havent touched code for over 10 yrs, but when i heard about my company pushing AI tools on the devs, i thought exactly what you said. It should be a tool for experienced devs who already know what they’re doing…

Lo and behold they did the opposite… They fired all the senior people and pushed AI on the interns and new grads… and then expected AI to suddenly make the jr devs work like the expensive Sr devs they just fired…

Wtf

These things are programmed by impatient, wreckless, human, drivers…

I cant believe they allow these things on our roads as a public beta test.

Just dont connect it to the internet.

That’s what i do with my OLED screen. It acts as a monitor for my HTPC. I dont use any of the apps on the TV

There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it.

Too many smug people think, “advertising doesnt work on me! Hah! Only weak minded normies fall for it…”

Wrong… Advertising works. And that’s the reason a shit ton of money that goes into it.

You want to know the reason why i run adblockers in my browser AND DNS levels? Because i KNOW advertising works on me… i KNOW i’m not smart enough to outsmart the army of engineers, and copywriters generating this stuff.

Source: i work in advertising lol

This isnt freeware.

“Free” in free software is free like free speech, not free as in beer.

This is one of the places where english fails. Libre vs gratis

This is not an OS behaviour. KDE is a desktop environment.

If it bothers you so much, remove the DE and use the command line, full time

I have to use windoze for my work laptop…

15% cpu constantly being used by bullshit telemetry processes. Gigs of RAM also being eaten up by bullshit processes and “try copilot!!” popups every time i accidently make the wrong gesture on the touchpad.

My 9 year old laptop with only 8GB RAM running debian is blazing fast in comparison.

Whats my next move when my chromecast audio dies? I love that thing

Most likely x11 vs wayland

Sorry, i dont have all the links available, but the root cause of the problem is apparently with the amdgpu driver

Kscreen was supposed to implement some kind of workaround, but i lost track of how that was going.

I’ve had this problem for years. I contributed to one of the existing bug reports for kscreen on this.

If i dont login to kde (sddm login screen), the screens will shut off normally… But once i login, the problem starts. So i concluded the problem is with kscreen2. I even tested by killijg kscreen2 and the problem goes away

This is why we need to all back firefox…

I dont care if the CEO sucks, or if they have some opt-out anti-features…

Chrome monopoly is a far greater threat

I know lemmy has a gigantic hate boner for LLMs, but if you plugged this scenario into a good one (probably not the bog standard “free” chatgpt in bing) you’ll probably get a very entertaining conversation.

I’m surprised some marketing genius at the intel/amd hasnt started using the bigger numbers

Oops, i was confused. They have a risc-v tablet but shown with a keyboard accessory so it looks like a laptop

https://pine64.com/product/pinetab-v-10-1-4gb-64gb-risc-v-based-linux-tablet-with-detached-backlit-keyboard/

Not sure how much this will be but pine64 already has a risc-v development laptop available for a long time

Edit: not a laptop but a tablet

Unfortunately, its their platform and their rules… And not even rules… Their whims.

I dont know why people expect corporations to support anything other than profit. You want free speech? For-profit, non-free platforms aren’t the place to do it

I hope you’re upgrading from debian buster to bullseye!

They cant. Its an addiction or stockholm syndrome

For me, no…

I’ve gone from debian 9 to debian 11 and now debian sid without reinstalling OS on my desktop

Same with my servers. Debian 8 -> 11 all upgrades in-place. Will have to upgrade to 12 soon…

The only time i messed up an upgrade is when accidentally used the codename “bookworm” in the sources file and skipped a major version. The system tried to fully upgrade 2 versions ahead and promptly borked itself… But it was an LXC container so i just rolled back my mistake. Lesson learned…

But yeah. Full re-installs have NEVER been a thing for me since going debian. It will even happily clone to a new SSD when you need to upgrade your hardware. (As long as your new hardware has in-kernel drivers, or at least some basic functionality to boot and fix the problem, if any)
