  • Its called a cannula. I had the same for my tonsils, except the guy said "this is just fluids to keep you hydrated" then I woke up hours later in another room. Lol

  • I don't need it, no. Its more akin to an unattended installer with a answer file - once you start the script you only need to input the new password for root and user account and thats it.

  • I've started updating my own Arch install script to work with Artix instead. Hopefully have it done in a few days.

  • Let's not pretend that Microslop is capable of producing good software.

  • The customer can choose a refund or replacement - its not up to the retailer. A refund would be of the original purchase price, so a replacement is a no brainer.

  • Immediately knew this was going to be Umart - they're a bunch of cunts that treat their customers like trash.

    The Australian Consumer Law states that the customer may choose a refund or replacement. This guy can raise it with ACCC and they'll take then to court.

  • Thanks for reminding me about it. I've tried it once before and didnt like it, but I'll give it another chance for sure.

  • I was thinking about it - its a massive project. It does a lot of stuff that I've never touched, for me personally - all I do is use it to manage my wine prefixes. Obviously there is a lot of extra stuff that goes into it, but I could probably write my own app that does that much at least in a couple weeks.

    I guess this is all to say, its a huge project and for me personally it has a lot of what you might call bloat. Maybe something that pairs all that extra stuff away into optional plugins might be a better approach for a next generation all-in-one launcher

  • Says the person trying to save face. Ha ha

  • I'm in favour of hiring kids to figure out the solution through iteration and doing web searches etc. If they fuck up, then they learn and eventually become better at their job - maybe even becoming a Senior themselves eventually.

    I get what you're saying - Seniors are more likely to use the tools more effectively, but there are many cases of the AI not doing what its told. Its not repeatably consistent like a bash script.

    People are better - always.

  • Its insane, and the worst part is I don't know what we can even do about it. There is no conversation, all the media basically talks about how great this is to protect kids, there doesn't seem to be any way to push back against this. Why the fuck should we be expected to provide anything to these companies - it's infuriating.

  • Oh very cool, hadn't heard of this. Thanks for sharing.

    Their source is also on Codeberg instead of GitHub which is awesome.

  • No idea who this guy is, but that was a hilarious video. Heaps of little jabs to highlight some of the very real weirdness of it all, but a decent enough demo to show that it all does intact work.

  • Wow, thats fucked. I hope Australia doesn't decide to do this as well. This shit is happening so quickly at the moment

  • Maybe they'll take their job more seriously now?

  • The worst part is they are doing themselves a disservice by not rewriting it by hand - have they really learnt enough Rust to know how to effectively rewrite the other parts of the engine as they say? Doubtful - they'll probably just do everything through AI stuff going forward.
