Honestly their launch announcement is so vague it could be everything and nothing.

How’s Asahi Linux going nowadays tho? I know it’s probably not perfect but is it usable day to day?

Eh I’ve seen colleagues that use Vim heavily do their work and they’re like at best 10-20% faster than me when it comes to pure text input/editing, honestly not worth the effort to switch to Vim for me.

Just switch to VSCode or something similar, it has enough features and shortcuts that will quickly make you like at least 80% as productive as you were in Vim. It even has a Vim mode so you can wean yourself off of it more easily.

Honestly never got the appeal of Vim, you need to spend so much time learning and configuring it only to squeeze out a little bit of extra productivity out of it when compared to a “normal” editor/IDE. I don’t see why it’s so important to be able to edit and write code as quickly as possible since most of the time you’re going to be debugging or looking at the code or reading docs.

EDIT: Just noticed you said you don’t code a lot. I think most of what I said still applies, I imagine you don’t spend 99% of the time in the editor typing away.

It’s pretty close, you just don’t want to admit it because you’ve been taught to hate that word.

It’s pretty close, not sure why you’re being so belligerent over this.

For what I see as a helpdesk guy, most problems that are encountered origin from Windows being Windows, not tech knowleadge of some person.

Yeah but things just work by default more often on Windows than on Linux. “Linux being Linux” is also the most common cause of Linux problems.

Linux usually does give you the tools to fix problems more easily than Windows but that’s where the tech savviness comes in.

Just bail out, it wasn’t meant to be. I tried a similar thing with family a few times and they always went back to Windows.

Linux is unfortunately not for people that aren’t at least a bit tech savvy. If you insist on them using Linux you’re gonna be on call to fix their shit all the time.

Chatgpt is just Cortana with better marketing. AI isn’t smart, it’s just algorithms producing a facsimile of language via pattern heatmaps. What was Cortana if not just an earlier version of the same thing?

Well no, not really IMO. Cortana as far as I know wasn’t based on LLMs as we know them today, it was a way older method of NLP. You’re right that on a high level it’s pretty similar but the underlying technology is qualitatively different IMO.

That looks great, and it gets bonus points for being written in Rust. Thanks for sharing this.

I haven’t done this in years but I’ve always found open source solutions to this to be quite clunky and usually barely worked. What always just worked fine for me was Teamviewer. Yeah it’s proprietary and has crappy licensing but it’s mostly a smooth ride.

Do try the open source options first tho, it’s quite possible they got way better in the last few years since I’ve done this.

And if you need examples I invite you to read all of the responses in the thread objectively, and not as a hexbear user with already hurt feelings.

I actually did re-read the entire thread extremely objectively (I put on my maximum objectivity cap) and I stand by my initial conclusion that you’re a huge fucking baby.

If you can’t see all the hexbear users piling onto those that disagree with OP I don’t know what to tell you.

Again, that’s not piling on, that’s just your fragile ego not being able to handle a lot of people calling your opinion garbage.

Your persecution complex is showing.

Right back at you. Nobody is “piling on”, there’s just more people disagreeing with you than agreeing, deal with it baby.

You’re obnoxious. Hexbear is one of the largest instances, comparable to lemmy.ml which is where this was posted. There are also users from lemmy.ml and other instances agreeing with OP.

You’re just a huge fucking baby that thinks encountering lots of opposing opinions must be some grand conspiracy against you.

Just because there are some users that stumble upon content semi-organically doesn’t mean brigading and piling on isn’t happening.

You have any proof of this or are you just assuming that happens because you can’t fathom that many people actually disagreeing with you?
