Fixing tech debt is more a people/commercial problem than a technical one. You just had to send a report to one guy, but that guy has to spend ridiculous amounts of energy convincing execs and stakeholders that it is worth breaking their current real workflows for a future imaginary payoff. Piling AI on the broken establishment model is relatively more appealing. That Principal might have just done you a favor you didn’t realize.
Age of Empires 2 DE is an addictive brainworm that eats up hours like nothing and turns your mind to mush
Yes, unfortunately you have to clean install (they have a guide for it). It’s fine for me since it’s based on Debian, which has a very long support cycle spanning two or more years generally.
No, I chose systemd for the familiarity.
I tried COSMIC on PopOS and had the same sour experience that LTT famously did in his recent video. And honestly, considering that it is visually and functionally no different than GNOME (which is already on wayland and much more stable), I don’t know why they’re even bothering with it.
addy.io is the one I’m using
Why not just switch to systemd-boot?
Strange, I have weed stashed with me and two joints I rolled two months ago but haven’t been touched yet. Just never get in the mood.
Just upload ye olde tarballs onto your static raw-HTML-coded site like the classic programmers (like the legendary Monsieur Bellard) do.
Shit like that doesn’t happen overnight, bub
The time scale for those changes to materialize is measured in decades. We might eventually see a dedollarized world if the US continues failing spectacularly for the next few years. Right now things are still in “anyone’s game” territory.
Wanna hear a limerick?
Lambert, Lambert, what a prick.
inb4 everybody except the people who have actually been daily-driving linux for 10+ years have an answer
fwiw I use Mint
Why do I prefer wearing the clothes and shoes that I’ve already broken in and gotten used to instead of crisp new items just out of the store? Guess I’ll never know
LOL, try this attitude when working on a job where (thanks to LLMs) management expectations are now updated for you to ship at twice the speed or more and see how long you last
It’s honestly remarkable that LLM code generators are somehow succeeding in making writing software easier where graphical RAD tools failed. Frontier software dev engineers may argue it to be useless for complex tasks but the regular analyst or officeman is definitely better off for internal CRUD use cases that’d earlier would have required them to consult the dev team.
Sometimes I wish Lemmy was like Reddit in downranking posts that get heavily downvoted
Windows for Legacy PCs
Low-margin product with no feasible return over the costs it takes to build and maintain. Windows 11 meanwhile is the main advertising and cross-selling platform for Microsoft’s high-margin cloud and AI products. Little wonder they prefer one over the other.
Obvious course of events considering how the commodity PC market is essentially cut off from RAM supply for an indeterminate number of years with no respite in sight. Memory isn’t cheap anymore, and if they kept making Windows 11 as they used to it won’t be long before PCs in the market are simply left unable to run the OS at all.
Why would they? The current stable kernel release is still v6.19
