No shit?!

Is it because most of your comments are bundles of joy like this one?

Ah yes, email, the medium meant to…never be read? You’re a monster.

I always have a day once in a while where I feel like I don’t have time to do even the most basic things I have to do. And I’m not a particularly busy person, it’s just something that is bound to happen once every couple months.

Yeah, I think it’s weird how people need to think in such a binary manner. AI sucks in almost every way and it can also save you time as a quick auto complete in an IDE. You’d have to be an idiot to have it write big blocks of code you don’t understand. That’s on you if you do it. If you want to use it to improve productivity, you should just let it write a few lines here and there which otherwise costs you several seconds if you didn’t. When it comes to refactoring, I’ve found GitHub copilot helps a lot because what I’m doing is changing from one common pattern to another, probably even more common pattern. It’s predictable, so it usually gets it fairly right.

If it were really artificially intelligent you could just describe a program and in seconds get a nearly bug-free, productiom-ready app. That’s a LONG way off, if it ever happens. People treating LLMs like they are actually AI is the issue. Stop misusing the tool.

Use judgement, people.

Cool, lies for luddites

I don’t have kids but there’s not a chance I could play games every single day for more than a couple months even if I made it a goal.

15 years too late

I read this three times and I’m still pretty lost as to what you’re hinting at

They are Nazis and anyone saying they aren’t at this point is a Nazi apologist and should be treated the same as a Nazi.

I was just trying to research some games on YouTube, and a disgusting amount of videos are ai generated 🤮

“I think it’s funny that people are upset about a new technology which will 1000% have incredibly destructive effects on society”

Congratulations on being whatever that makes you? It’s not good.

doesn’t hurt anyone

Yeah your one image that one time didn’t necessarily hurt anyone but climate change getting kicked up a notch from the absurd amounts of carbon generated by millions of those kinds of images absolutely will literally kill and destroy lives.

After the first 100 or so AI images I saw, the novelty of “wow this is technically possible” wore off and now I kind of hate anything generated by ai even if it looks good (which it usually doesn’t).

Right, but there’s usually at least a couple of windows stans in any thread like this

Shocked to not find any Linux haters raging in the comment section. They’ll be here soon enough.

Windows does Drivers way better.

…on Linux you very rarely need to do anything driver wise so I have to strongly disagree. I think I have installed drivers for 3 devices over the past few years. If Nvidia gave a shit about Linux, the only device that gave me issues wouldn’t have given me issues.

They’re a fucking coward. And they’re wrong. That’s why they deleted all their windows-simping comments here.

I’m not contradicting myself and I understood all that. You didn’t get what I was saying.

I was simply saying that you want something I’d never want. Has nothing to do with a distaste for email. Has to do with adding stress to my life while also using my system resources. And I was pointing out the only non-stress difference is I have to click once to open my email and it loads very fast. I wouldn’t see any value in what you see as a minimum requirement. I’d actually go to a lot of trouble to disable that if it were on by default lol

It sounds like you’re a person who not only uses chrome but also dozens or hundreds of tabs. I’m opposite to all that. I stand by my claim that Linux performs far better and I suspect I’d think so even if I wanted to run a lot of ram hungry apps at the same time tbh, because I just haven’t experienced literally anything you’re saying.

Interesting take…

Another relevant twist of the knife on the Linux side is thunderbird not having a tray icon

What would you need one for?

What is the purpose of an email client that doesn’t stay running 24/7?

Genuinely confused here. To receive email? What’s the purpose of leaving it running all the time? The only difference in the setup I have and what you seem to want is that instead of clicking an email icon on the dock and waiting ~1second, you want to see a notification in the tray? Given that email is 90% noise no matter how many things I unsubscribe from, the last thing I want is a constant stream of notifications on yet another device.

I feel like specifically because I run Linux all my apps launch faster so yes I prefer to close them when not in use. Feels a lot cleaner for my mental model. Don’t get me wrong, I often run 6-8 apps at a time if I need to. But even then I don’t think I go much beyond 8 GB of ram used, unless I’m gaming.
