A more important difference is that you can just change instances with Lemmy.

several of the engineering and CAD programs we use are not supported or only partially supported on Linux

Gotta change software if y’all want to be more than hostages.

Yes, I’m forced to use Windows at work and that’s part of why I only use Linux in my personal life.

Window is so stupid and annoying. It needs to reboot like twice a day for updates. Not to mention individual apps that need to update in the middle of usage. Also the news/spam and stuff. It’s garbage. I’m the guy who’s constantly telling everybody that we should switch to Linux.

(Also, even though my work laptop is Windows, I do most of my real work connected to a Linux server/IDE.)

There was two years of free migration. Maybe check your email.

Kate on Debian.

Too many people using VSCode. At work on Windows I was using it at work (on Windows) but got disgusted with myself and switched to Kate. On Linux I tried VSCodium but the Flatpak was soooo slow, bloated, and crashy… I’m just sticking with Kate on every OS.

Languages: Julia, Python, JavaScript, PHP

Might be easier to make a white list.

If you don’t like the games that other people make, then why don’t you macron?

Here’s how I might resolve this supposed dichotomy:

• “AI” doesn’t actually exist.
  • You might be using technologies that are called “AI” but there is no actual “intelligence” there. For example, as OP mentions, LLMs are extremely limited and not actually “intelligent”.
• Since “AI” doesn’t actually exist, since there’s no objective test, etc… “AI” can be anything and do anything.
• So at the extremes we get the “AI” God and “AI” Devil
  • “AI” God - S/he saves the economy, liberates us from drudgery, creates great art, saves us from China (\s), heralds the singularity, etc.
  • “AI” Devil - S/he hallucinates, steals jobs, destroys the environment, is a tool of the MIC, murders artists, is how China will destroy us (\s), wastes of time and resources, is a scam, causes apocalypses, etc.

Since there’s no objective meaning from the start, there’s no coherence or reason behind the wild conclusions are the bottom. When we talk about “AI”, we’re talking about a wide variety of technologies with varying values in various contexts. I think there are some real shitty people/products but also some hopefully useful technologies. So depending on the situation I might have a different opinion.

It actually mattes what shitty “analogy” he uses, because he’s implicitly endorsing prohibition and its ongoing, extreme violence. It’s a typical hegemonic tactic to normalize state violence. Dude is an alumni of the nytimes ofc. This is literally his whole career.

Another shill for the NYTimes… Check their op/ed pages. Full of worthless libs saying dumb shit.

He won the nobel prize for economics and was one of the few sane voices during the great recession.

There is no nobel prize for economics. It’s an even phonier prize made up by bankers. Even if there were an actual nobel, that’s no reason for believing anybody’s opinions far outside their realm of expertise (eg. krugman here).

More importantly krugman has been consistently liberal trash since forever.

If someone says that their grandchildren are perfect little angles, you don’t say “well, actually, angels are divine beings who don’t dwell upon this earth Grandma,

Nobody is murdering angels in the global south. This perspective is a privileged delusion.

The victims of prohibition are real people who are actually being violently attacked.

You do know that the entire rest of the article never mentions drugs ever again

Because the headline is clickbait bullshit… because the author is a grifter.

Paul Krugman is a nobel-prize winning economist who used to have a column in the NY Times.

Aka totally discredited.

The “nobel in econ” is as much of a fraud as econ in general.

Anybody who knows this goofball knows not to listen to his crap.

Only if they attack unrelated people that the racist orange rapist doesn’t like.

The usual bullshit Krugman clickbait.

Krugman is a worthless hack. Sensational headline with implicit endorsement of prohibition is a prime example.

Edit about the “nobel”: Everybody who’s talking about this “nobel prize”. There is no nobel prize in econ. It’s a phony award made up by bankers. That’s how pathetic the pseudo-science of economics is. They need to make up their own fake awards for relevancy. So please don’t tout the phony awards of this pseudo-scientists. I could make up an award for flat earthers but that wouldn’t legitimize flat earthism.

(And even if there were a nobel for econ… Who cares about awards if the underlying “science” is still trash?)

We need Reddit reform NOW

lol. they been “reforming” it since inception. this is the goal.

100%. For example, never mention monsanto or GMOs on reddit because the shills will swarm… Probably wayyyy worse now.
