  • I sometimes use ait, but specifically for subjects that I don’t know about and don’t want to know about.

    I’m a developer, I’m all open source and Linux etc. right now I need to build a fairly straightforward rsync solution so that I can regularly update. A directory from a windows server and fuck me is it a shit show. On Linux it’d be a 5 minute task, here I’ve spent hours trying to first get it to run with cygwin which let me down a rabbit hole through the planet hell and back.

    I fairly quickly pulled in Claude to give suggestions on how to get rsync with windows to work because I don’t want to know anything about windows. I want to actively keep that info out of my brain lest I get infected by it somehow, so I just spent an hour copy/pasting solutions and results to and from Claude

    About half it’s solutions were wrong and dumb, but it "knew"certain things like certain versions of rsync in cygwin having a specific bug that affected me that would have me spend hours digging through gulp windows documentation

    I got to the point where I dumped cygwin and I’m going to try wsl instead (should have done that from the first moment, probably, but Claude did not tell me THAT)

    Point is: AI, so far, is pretty useless and generates little to no usable specificoutput, but it’s fairly good at getting you I right directions. For subjects you really do not want to get involved in, it’s a nice way to just move forward without a lot of headaches

    That is, of course, if you’re okay with being recorded, studied, proddded, probed, have your asshole size measured because these fuckers want EVERYTHING from you in return for giving you almost nothing



  • Did somebody let Lennart out again? You know he shouldn’t be walking around alone outside, he’s just going to get himself into trouble.

    On a slightly more serious note: systemd does some things nice, a lot of things it does very badly, and it really seriously needs to stop trying to push it’s grubby little fingers into every sub system out there.

    All that is one thing, but the main issue with systems always seemed it’s main developer, Lennart Poetteting who was never one to shy away from drama and controversy, and not in a good way.


  • Which would be a nice idea, if it wasn’t for the fact that the second that this happens, nobody will be able to freely speak any truth at all, because governments will jump on it to restrict speech more and more and more and something tells me that fuckface McNazi knows this.

    See what I did there? If I had to post under my real name, I would not have called him that.

    Free speech depends on anonymity

    That’s the thing with AMD drivers, they’re the damn near perfect software. Doing lots of stuff yet you’d never know it’s there. It stays nicely out of the user’s way, you don’t even have to think about installing them and shit just works

    Then there are the Nvidia drivers
