That’s a great instinct to have in the current landscape, but keep in mind the rise of machine learning is happening. And there are a few really cool and good use-cases for it. So it might be a hindrance to yourself to automatically throw out anything to do with “AI”, you might find something cool to use it for.

For instance, as a hobbyist graphic designer, I use a local instance of Stable Diffusion these days instead of Photoshop to make quick photo edits, saving me hours of manually masking out objects and filling in the blanks.

Could you share your nix config?? I want to have this setup with none of the work because I’m a noob. Thank you for your time

Old=boomer sorry. That’s just the way it turned out, nothing we can do about it. Raging against new slang is just gonna make us more out of touch, and intensify the feeling of being old, so I just accept it and try to keep up. Boomer is old now, not just the Baby Boomers.

just like every other executable downloaded from the Internet, man. doesn’t seem too scary

nobody says those that way in real life. I only hear people say “I went to the ATM” “I forgot my PIN”

wow i hope that’s not all, that’s a pretty lame update. I can’t think of even one use-case that that would be helpful for.

it’s not about skin color it’s about being a weirdo

why the hell did they bother to put rhinoloner then? That’s wild i can’t believe there are people that think this way.

almost all advice i see given in lemmy has at least a minor insult and i gotta say I’m here for it

i know it was a bad take oops. y’all have some good stuff for sure

it came out on 911

the treatment is daily merciless beatings

it’s incredible how out of touch this community is with the average end user. I’d wager that MOST people don’t know how, much less want to set custom flags for every one of their games. Believe it or not people actually like using nice GUIs and rely on simple intuitive frontends, and it’s a massive failure on Valve’s part considering they’re the largest, most mainstream PC gaming platform.

which distro did you end up on? I started 2 weeks ago with Arch (bad first choice, but i learned a lot), moved to Ubuntu (seemed way too bloated and hard to customize), then PopOS (worse than Ubuntu), and now I’m moving from Manjaro back to Arch. I think that’s where I’m gonna stay now that i know how to fix it up and use it.

The only thing i miss from Windows is Adobe, everything else is so much better on Linux. I love how i can customize literally anything and everything, and if i need something specific i can just make it

gen x easily the worst music era (excluding hiphop/rnb which really came into it’s own during this generation)

Then: Vibrant creativity and authentic analog sound of the 60s-early 80s, all music was recorded with real instruments

Now: Availability and ease of use provided by computers/free software/internet meaning more music being made than ever before, plus algorithmic sorting providing exposure to only the best of the best the world has to offer.

In between: gen x oof i mean, Nickleback? really? come on

if you want desktop icons just configure and install something to do that. that’s the best part about Linux is that your distro literally doesn’t matter, it’s just a good starting point to jump off and customize

i hate MS, Google, Amazon, Apple … FOSS or bust fuck these robber barron birches

looking nice and readable is just cool and good
