>>107691628my couch
>>107691871And how can AI help with that? Can it move your couch?
Isn't that funny how ai is mostly used by poor people in other countries, while americans are the ones paying for it?
>>107691285works for microsoftif it works for a company with a legacy of compatibility and 30 years of good will then it works for anyone
>>107691274why people pick the worst languages ever like as in typescript, javascript and python? seriously>>107691311apple never released a product which they dominated first so yeah, kinda agree there
What's /g/'s opinion on Mental Outlaw? I've been a fan of his for a long long time, he's the one that made me privacy conscious and made me switch to Linux. I remember once reading in one of his comment sections that he was "bullied off /g/" by some guy, is this true? Also, if you're seeing this thread Kenny, hi!
>>107670858doesnt this guy just make political clickbait meme videos?
>>107670858He has no idea what he's talking about.
>>107670858I enjoy the Agartha edits
>>107687859This is what happens to every channel once they get over 100,000k subs. They become a "company" a "brand." I get my tech content from sub 20k channels. At that level they're not bought and paid for yet.
>>107691515No one does. They can't. The software/OS world is fucked. Nothing works, nothing is reliable, everything is broken trash. This is because>Companies hire the D student programmers/engineers who are grossly incompetent, to save money >Companies hire quality and qualified developers/engineers who then have their hands tied by boomer executives who can't use their outlook without calling IT for help.Either way, modern tech is dogshit. Sometimes on purpose (planned obsolescence) or by sheer incompetence.I can walk you through how to install X, Y, and Z on your computer where I have zero problems, but you try it and run into a 1000 problems and brick your shitty system. Thus, no one can know what they're talking about.
Linus himself as said that if BSD wasn't in the legal situation it was in the early 90s he would have never made his kernel. What do you think the world would be like if BSD was being used for supercomputers and android and /g/ rather than linux? Would Free/Open/Dragonfly/NetBSD still exist or would eveyone just be using 4.3BSD/386BSD?
>>107690139I never tried BSD, what was the legal problem exactly?
>>107690139cuck license
>>107690139pufferfish wit da big ass lip
>>107690139everything popular internet wise should have satanic symbols and icons on it to scare Christians and Muslims away from it
>>107691124They got sued by UNIX System Laboratories for license violation and copyright infringement. It went on for 2 years and then was settled out of court.
What has changed in the last 20 years?Image formats, audio formats, video formats, codecs, etc. all are basically the same. No new software that really requires a new computer. Everything you can do today can be done on a 15 year old computer.What has even changed in operating systems? Shiny buttons, fancy graphics, and more fluff just so people have something to feel good about when they post their lame ricing screenshots.After so many years, we still don't even have an open design of a CPU, Motherboard, RAM or any component. Forget current generation, if that's too much to ask, but even the ones from a decade ago don't have an open design. At least that would've been good reason to upgrade.Otherwise, what even is the point of upgrading the computer so often? Just to play stupid video games?
>>107691738Local AI is the only reason right now to scale up.It's going to take what maybe 5 more years when you actually need to upgrade if not more.It depends also what cpu type you have AM4 or AM5 if AVX512 will become important in the future then I at least need to upgrade.
you can't probably even move around your browser without at least 8gb ram
>>107691738This art-style looks hideous and it's a good way to filter out woke.
wtf
>>107691794ok let the society blow up
>>107672991How the fuck is he complaining about ai and its impact on the planet? This is literally the world he was advocating for.
potent bait
>>107689302Those quotes on the right. He deserves the world we live in now, it's what he was working towards for years. Fuck yourself Rob
>>107673739Because he's in an echochamber with retards who think this kinda mental derangement is a okay.
Why haven't you fallen for the Thinkpad meme /g/? Pic related is my Thinkpad T470 running Elementary OS
>>107690546>intel dual core garbage>3h battery life>battery certainly dead anyways
>>107690546Because I can't afford the only thinkpad I give a shit about
>>107690546>Why haven't you fallen for the Thinkpad meme /g/?because I don't want shit plastic cases.boughted a macbook pro m4 pro instead and am getting more pussy now
>>107690546Because I need a real laptop. The Macbook Air is perfect for me. Light, small, o slits, no fans, good keyboard, good trackpad, good screen and a strong battery. Perfect for traveling or a business trip.Heck, I can even do semi heavy stuff like compiling and it just go warm. While my main PC 9800X3D gets hot while being water cooled and isn't really faster at all.I love my little MBA M3.
>>107690546I bought a Thinkpad and it's the newest model.
>Only fucking GNOME supports real fractional scaling on a 4k screen>Is also one of the worst DEsWhat is this bullshit?
>>107690458KDEChad wins again/thread
>>107690458why does kde look like shit on my screen but gnome looks fantastic?
>>107690833its a benq mobiuz btwhttps://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/gaming/ex271u.html
>>107690422shit scales fine for me on KDE.I installed LXQT on my HTPC and had to reinstall because the scaling on a 4k TV was so shit.
Are you using x11 or something? Fractional scaling works fine for me on KDE
>be software engineer>can't get any jobs because of AI>society blames you for AI because they think of "computer people' as a single group>your future is either starving to death or getting murdered by ludditesWhy does the universe hate software engineers in particular so much?
>>107691455the AI companies are gaslighting everyone into thinking that AGI is just around the corner, we just need one more datacenter bro

im a junior year compsci major but im not worried : )
>>107691806you shouldn't be, try to collect as much work experience early as possible, even if the pay is shit
>>107691806>im a turkey the day before Thanksgiving but im not worried : )
Are we finally getting AGI in 2026?
>>107689057AGI is as likely as teleportation, pure science fiction.
>>107689057They don't even know what AGI is, they can't agree on a definition.It's like defining what exactly 'thinking' is and emulating that in software.Nobody knows what thinking is because it all stems from consciousness and what the hell is that
>>107689057>we no, the public will never be allowed such power."they" however will get it
>AGIthis morning I found a chinese food menu that had been slipped under my front door. could read the whole goddamn thing. those fuckers are already here, it's already over.

A idiot admire complexity.A genius admire simplicity.
>>107690033you drag them to trash
>>107688718It can't be solved easily since it can't be enforced by the OS without breaking a shit ton of software, and some snowflake is inevitably going to break convention out of laziness or ignorance.
>>107690075Fuck your backwards compatible. Go dig a hole and climb in it while the rest of the world moves on.
>>107689029You can see .dmg files as a remnant of how floppy disks worked. Back in the day you'd mount a floppy disk and either run the software from it, or drag it to your machine and then unmount it.The installers are entirely different, usually they require some extra configurations being set system wide or a specific driver to be added, if you use an installer you will not have to drag anything.

not sure if i should go back to gnome.deepin is more lightweight but i get more stuff done with gnome. it has better shortcut keys and a better launcher
do what you want nathannobody cares
>>107690348DEs are for the technicaly iliterate.
>>107691706what about xfce? tiling wms are really annoying and impractical on multi monitor setups
so you decided to use the only chinese spyware that is in a form of a DE
>>107691723I'm not a fan of WMs that exclusively support tiling either, but most are hybrid and you aren't forced to choose from one display method. i use a customized Openbox that behaves sort of like i3.

Do you think he feels bad about the tsunami of suffering he's sending your way?
>>107691725If I had as much money as he did, I wouldn't give a fuck about you either.
>>107691739What, the sister rape? The dead whistleblower? All in the past. He and his husband have synthesized a baby now. He's a wholesome dad.
>>107691725>Do you think he feels bad about the tsunami of suffering he's sending your way?No, he has said he does that on purpose. Because humanity will cope better with what's happening now then if he were to suddenly bring out fucking skynet tier intelligence.
>>107691725>(((salesperson))) have empathyyou have to be a subhuman to work in sales so absolutely fucking not, people do not understand how sick and twisted salespersons actually are, they would sell their entire family if it makes the shareholders happy, they're humanity biggest ennemies from within alongside hr, ruining companies wherever they go, there is a reason why jensen is doing the business himself, NEVER EVER trust a salesperson whose only skill is to sell things, it WILL backfire.>>107691773poor kid, he'll get gangraped all his childhood...

>>107689797im curious, do you have any specific examples of poor optimization with normal engines?
>>107689843More a case of "damn, this screwdriver really sucks at loosening nuts!". Most common game engines are optimized for more static geometry, use of light and shadow, few transparencies, etc. The engines are an ecosystem, and integrating 3rd party compiled code with it... as a general rule, can either be very difficult or very inefficient.Meanwhile, I had to spend 1/3 of each frame pushing new geometry, terrible compile times and crazy bugs from linking in my constantly changing library, duplicated twice/thrice buffers cause my library, the engine, and the GPU all wanted different formats, etc. Parallel compute issues were just the nail in the coffin.
>>107689843More than poor optimization it's that they have a fucktonne of extra shit a specific game doesn't need because they are used for everything from MMORPGs to FPS to archviz to movies. It's not that you can do a better job than Epic engineers with 25 years of experience, it's that you don't have to do any job at all in 99.9% of cases when comparing with something like UE5.
>learned programming 6 years ago to escape my shitty job>get into web dev because it was the easiest route>now I absolutely dread and it killed my interest in programmingI've been thinking about learning gamedev for a while but not sure if I would end up hating it to if it became my job.

Reminder of the following:1. Google will merge ChromeOS and Android to form a FOSS Linux-based desktop OS that will be 100% free to download and use. https://www.androidauthority.com/aluminium-os-android-for-pcs-3619092/2. Windows will be severely affected by this new, totally free competitor and will bleed marketshare.3. All existing Linux desktop environments will be totally outclassed by Google's top secret desktop UI and underlying OS. Even Linux users will give up on shit like Mint and just use Google's desktop for their daily driver OS. 2026 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop, and it will be because Google will do to desktops what they did to phones. You know it's coming. Don't act like this was a surprise.
>>107691670At which point it'll stop being screwgle's plaything. Or, at least, your computer will.
>>107690228>ALL LINUX DESKTOPS WILL BE CONSIDERED USELESS WHEN GOOGLE'S LINUX DESKTOP COMES OUT IN 2026>saaarFuck off sundar.
>>107691240I hate people who suck corporations off for breakfast (and the corporations themselves of course), not shitty products that i can just ignore if it comes down to it.
>>107690228not my problem
>>107691102because android was historically written by white people, just like everything good in this world.indians ruin everything they touch as their sole mission in life is to replace any non-indians under them by indians, chineses do the same, it's very well documented, look it up.In the case of fagman, indians taking leadership positions lines up perfectly with the time these companies stopped making good products.
