Only the $550 version. The cheaper one will work on best effort basis Manjaro edition.

Just came to say it looks like Syncthing, except worse.

That’s probably your social bubble. My company is currently deepthroating everything that has AI in its name. I jokingly mentioned they should rename the company to Jira&AI, the joke was not well received.

Anyway, most people I know (including me) are somewhere in the middle - not quite fans in the traditional sense, but definitely not disliking AI.

It’s not any more secure. The point that “installing random debs is insecure” has been running around for at least the last 16 years I’ve been a Linux user.

While it’s technically true, AppImages are as secure as random debs. Same with random repositories that are not provided by your system. Same with flatpaks.

And unless you’re an extremely basic user, you’ll eventually have to install an application not in your repositories. The method doesn’t really matter, it’s all equally (in)secure.

Well, NixOS is mostly for enthusiasts and it’s very much the opposite of beginner friendly.

The idea is that you configure your system in a configuration file, then run a command that makes your system match exactly what you configured.

So instead of apt install or similar you just add the package to your config, run a single command to rebuild the system and you’re done.

Which also means you’re mostly on your own, most guides for other distros don’t work and the documentation on how to do the things in NixOS are very incomplete. It’s nice and fun, but definitely not for an average user.

Glad you like it!

They still don’t. The analysts do and the programmers then implement it based on specifications.

Did you live under the impression that all the smart missiles, smart guns, smart everything didn’t already require programmers?

Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.

And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).

Well, in that case the Tarantula I recommended does have a Playstation layout.

Yeah, I was talking about the face buttons.

I remember those times, too (well, some 99.9%, there are still the few issues I never found solution to).

But these times are long past, search engines suck nowadays.

I mean, not the least important, it is an important part. But way less than a common person thinks.

True, I use some local model by Jetbrains that only completes a single line and that’s my sweet spot, it usually guesses the line well and saves me some time without forcing me to read multiple lines of code I didn’t write.

Well, I recently did kind of an experiment, writing a kid game in Kotlin without ever using it. And it was surprisingly easy to do. I guess it helps that I’m fluent in ~5 other programming languages because I could tell what looked obviously wrong.

My conclusion kinda is that it’s a really great help if you know programming in general.

Please, no…

Well, that’s not a Playstation layout.

Yes, that’s the one I have, it has Xbox/Switch layout. Or are you seeing something different?

Don’t watch those, though the few I’ve watched didn’t really have that. But it wouldn’t surprise me.

But I think with kid shows it’s much more dangerous, they soak up the patterns and internalise them.

Tarantula Pro as well. It doesn’t have PS layout, though. How did you achieve that?
