You people are ruthless and assholes about your opinions. You are the last thing from a bastion for free speech. If something is conservative, or even moderate, every one here wants to insult and berate you.
Its always funny when people think that people using their free speech to be critical of their free speech means they don't have free speech.
Why do you think your opinions are automatically owed respect?
Lemmy is super bias and left leaning, your ignorance is potentially a very big problem.
The implication that having a leaning means ignorance is a ridiculously open appeal to moderation fallacy.
This is funny, but also just to bring reality to a funny comment, there is tons of piss porn where the women clearly do not enjoy it, but, and this is something a lot of people seem to not be able to understand; the enjoyment of all parties involved is not necessary for many people to get off. Heck, for some, its better without the fake enjoyment because you're being lied to less.
My comment was particular in what it was in response to.
I quoted the section of your comment that was relevant:
After using KDE, even powertoys look basic to me.
After using KDE, even powertoys look basic to me.
I think this is quite a bit exaggerated no? KDE lacks many of the tools Powertoys adds like the OCR, advanced clipboard, colour picker and more.
Also, yes, pinning windows on top exists.
Not sure exactly what you're getting at especially as the quotes around free could mean a number of things, most of which I agree with.
I think perhaps this is a misunderstanding and they were simply stating that they did similarly to america, rather than implying any direct involvement.
Truly. I honestly feel like a lot of the linux oldheads got off on being part of an exclusive club and actually hated when things became easier to use (hence all the crying whenever anyone who isn't literally a cis admin or c developer points out the glaring UX flaws that plauged and still plagued linux).
Steam has the money to both fix a lot of problems and bulldoze through the wave of elitist condescending douches that typically inhabit linux spaces.
On top of that, and I know this part will get hate, now with LLMs, a lot of the questions that would get you absurdly rude and defeating remarks, you can just ask an LLM and get on average more accurate answers and less hazing for no reason. Yes, I am saying that LLMs give more accurate responses, as that has been my experience when it comes to asking questions on forums vs them.
And just to be clear, I have always been the type of person to ask questions as a last resort because I can't deal with those people and don't think being hazed should be a necessary part of doing power computing. You shouldn't need a thick skin to fix a driver issue for instance.
Anyways, I do think that these things have made linux far more approachable, but common apps being supported is still something that needs focus. Like the only CAD options for linux are what, freecad, where its free because you pay with your time and frustration, SolveSpace.... or onshape, which is simply not viable for hobbyists who at all ever want to make any money from their hobbies?
The same is true for video editting where there are absolutely some first class programs that run on linux, but the media creation pipeline also clearly has adobe shaped holes (just to be clear, though I feel it doesn't need stating, I do hate adobe).
Honestly W11 window management by default is better than KDE right now.
This was true for W10, but not any more.
KDE window outline defaults (don't have a generic name for setting up the snap zones) take way more effort to set up than the windows version.
I don't think requiring powertoys for extra features matters that much because its supported by the same company. In my opinion, when having something not default truly sucks is when its third party and is finicky and fickle because it requires developers developing vs a moving target.
When its an internal team, they have much more knowledge about how that target will be moving.
Anyhow, that is to say, I think KDE is great, and completely competent, and I love the level of customizability by default, but it certainly has many flaws. Of course its biggest flaw is not its own fault, but that of the catch 22 situation needed to gain critical mass, and the average linux proselytizer doing everything in their power to ensure people don't want to try linux by somehow imagining themselves to be the every user, and constantly doing that annoying thing where they both say linux is powerful, and that the faults dont matter because the average user doesn't use any of said powerful features or they themselves, personally got used to the faults.
This is a very echo chamber/bubble opinion.
Its a massive deal and a huge hassle for most people.
Most people don't change the most basic settings. If asked simply if they want to be tracked they'd say no, but not everyone has energy to fight every battle. In fact, no one does, you and I included.
When we dismiss problems as "easy to solve" or "no big deal" or "not much hassle" we effectively directly support the world becoming worse because in every other area where enthusiasts say the same thing and you are affected you're getting fucked. When everyone does this, this apathy epidemic fucks us all.
Why would I need to give you a list to point out what is wrong with your statement.
They're obvious though.
- Copyright issues with the sale of ai services
- Worker displacement without proper social systems to manage them
- Unclear biases within black box systems
- The requirement to change education based on their existence
- The environmental damage caused through the energy used in training.
The list is long quite frankly. Longer than this even.
There is at least one Robo vac that does not rely on the cloud, and personally I can't imagine feeling comfortable with a robovac being cloud connected for no reason.
Is the fact that SteamOS is based on Arch going to change this such that prior Arch users must now suffer through Gentoo or will they stay the same, considering the proprietary inclusions of SteamOS to be enough to exclude it from the fold?
This is well said. So many people don't get that of course these companies know you hate this shit.
They're just trying to boost their stock value and violate your privacy harder.
That is a crazy amount of nonsensical word salad to use to try to call someone else out for lacking understanding.
I mean just the flawed idea that all trading algos are all neural nets, or that all neural nets are the same or that the rectangle of ML doesn't include neural nets.. These are all wildly erratic non sequiturs.
No, it’s pretty much the opposite. As it stands, one of the biggest problems with ‘AI’ is when people perceive it as an entity saying something that has meaning.
This has to be the least informed take I have seen on anything ever. It literally dismisses all the most important issues with AI and pretends that the "real" problem (as if there is only one that matters) is about people misunderstanding it in a way I see no one doing.
It's clear to me you must be so deep into an anti AI bubble you have no idea how people who use AI think about it, how its used, why its used, or what the problems with it are.
I think people really misunderstand cookies and have been lead to get angry at exactly the wrong things which actually give the biggest companies huge advantages so they're fine with all of this mumbojumbo.
When you cant have local cookies, or there are hoops, companies that need not bother with this because they own your browser (Google) or companies that own major search engines (Google) or companies that most other companies rely on for ads or social media integration etc (Google) are tremendously advantaged.
Now, basically only Google can collect a wholistic profile of a user, while regular websites must now waste extra man power implementing completely useless cookie preferences when in reality this should have been simplified, at worst, to 3 buttons.
All, No Marketting, No Telemetry.
Anything else is just the user wasting their time or destroying the functionality of a website for no reason/requiring busy body work to comply with ill conceived regulations.
With the downfall of third party cookies in most browsers, cookies literally just serve as some temporary storage for websites on your local machine. Cookies existing or not existing arent what control whether you are tracked, especially given all the fancy fingerprinting that goes on nowadays.
Its this type of kneejerk reactionary opinion I think will ultimately let the worst of the worst AI companies win.
Whether an LLM says I or not literally does not matter at all. Its not relevant to any of the problems with LLMs/generative AI.
It doesn't even approach discussing/satirizing a relevant issue with them.
It's basically satire of a strawman that thinks LLMs are closer to being people than anyone, even the most AI bro AI bro thinks they are.
This enlightened centrism bs that pretends that "divide" is some simple concept that needs to be attacked by "both sides" is just either the absolute laziest way to sift through issues or purposefully malicious.
Interesting that to you "productive" is quite literally the opposite of productive, and really appears to just mean places that agree with your enlightened centrism.
This part right here is just a wild baseless theory, and sounds extremely privileged to think that discussing serious issues that are especially important right now means "being online is all about getting mad at politics and each other so we are basically perpetuating the bullshit trends they started like the brain dead lemmings we are."
