How dare you ask people to change literally any habit they have! It's obviously someone else's responsibility to change!

I think a lot of people have never had time to slow down and not work for an extended period (voluntarily and without financial stress). Having time to just process thoughts and feelings while doing things you want to do instead are obligated to do is actually a pretty big deal.

To reiterate, I don't think there is anything wrong with using the AUR. I think that using an AUR helper that ties updating AUR packages to your pacman -Syu is a trap that people keep falling into despite the warnings in the wiki.

The wiki article :

• specifically says that packages are not thoroughly vetted
• does not recommend using yay or another AUR helper (which is the primary thing I recommend against)
• has a frequently asked question section that is fairly technical and should indicate that it is not for the faint of heart

The aur helper wiki has a fun red disclaimer at the top that no one reads

I like arch because:

• it is rolling release and I like having up to date software and not having to deal with distro upgrades breaking things
• it is community run and not beholden to a company
• packages are mostly unmodified from their upstream
• the wiki and forums are the best of any distro

conflict when trying to just update things naively

Sounds like AUR problems. IMO using AUR helpers that tie AUR packages to your full system update command is a trap. AUR never professed to be a stable repository (in fact it's the opposite). AUR has a place, but it should be used sparingly and thoughtfully.

I know what I’m doing

I don't believe you

Did you try it?

Yes I did.

1. Writing code isn't actually the majority of software engineering unlike what naive people believe.
2. Most of the code I write isn't boilerplate for new projects because I actually work on real software that people use.
3. It's not faster to review code written by a moron (artificial or otherwise) than to just fucking write it.

That's a very popular opinion for people that don't know what the fuck they're doing.

Lol

Sure, Jan

It's not gate keeping it is true. I know devs that say ai tools are useful but all the ones that say it makes them multiples more productive are actually doing negative work because I have to deal with their terrible code they don't even understand.

You are correct that renewable energy would help but if huge amounts of power are specifically being drawn for AI data centers that is part of the equation. Just like it's reduce/reuse/recycle in that order for handling items, it should be reduce/renewable for power, and we should have to build the renewable infrastructure before building more data centers.

I don't see any reason to believe anything currently being done is a direct path to AGI. Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are straight up liars and the fact so many people lap up their shameless hype marketing is just sad.

You can't even replace junior devs with AI. This is a completely false narrative intended to demoralize workers into not exercising their market power.

Can we quit posting this baseless fear mongering? It is simply powerful people trying to demoralize workers and acting like it is legitimate news is playing into their hands.

Absolute favorite is probably either Bloodstained or Castlevania Portrait of Ruin. Every Metroid and Castlevania is good though. Ender Lilies, Shantae, Momodora and Alwa are some other ones I've really liked off the top of my head.

Not Hollow Knight, which thinks it's clever to not fill out the map as you go unless you happen to pick the path the map dude is on. Makes me feel like my time isn't respected which is a pet peeve of mine. Also other than bosses the combat is boring and repetitive and you don't get stronger fast enough for revisiting areas to not be a slog.

I mostly play on PC these days but historically it was Nintendo consoles. I like exploring maps.

That setting defaults to off. Changing the default to on means new users won't have to figure out it exists, and shows confidence in proton

Corporate greed.

It does matter. It's the only thing that matters. The entire point is demonizing protests so they can sick their jackbooted thugs on them.
