All the things you mention are a thing in all three dialects lol. Gaol is just the archaic spelling, thongs does also mean flip-flops, and cunt is more and more socially acceptable in both the US & UK, though nowhere near the casual usage in AUS.

Team vim, but I’ve been using Helix instead for a year or two – it’s like if Neovim and Kakoune had a baby.

Yeah I think anyone who thinks John Wick got worse over time was probably a teenager when the first one came out. They’re all schlocky action films. The fourth one at least has some unique set pieces

But why can’t you just remove it? It being mounted into the studs isn’t any different than any other spot, it’s just more secure.

For personal projects you can either just use git locally or make them source-available with a restrictive license. If you don’t even want the source to be available then why use a public repo?

It’s a tool for the owners, it’s a trap for the users. The sycophancy and malleability of the chatbots makes them not just unsuitable as replacements for therapists, they can be and often are actively harmful, validating problematic, spiraling or psychotic thought patterns.

I know that therapy isn’t accessible for everyone, but any actual human you can talk to is better than a chat bot in this context.

I would rather someone vibe code critical infrastructure with a chat bot than use it for mental health.

No one should be using a corporate chat bot to “figure out who they are”.

Chatbots? Basically nothing. Any interaction I have with one leads to spending more time verifying its output, inevitably finding many mistakes, and eventually finding a primary source for what I’m actually looking for. The best actual impact it has is forcing me to narrow down my nebulous question into what I actually specifically want, but the bot itself is contributing very little to that.

Neutral nets in general have limited real usefulness in analyzing large batches of data when other purpose-built analysis software doesn’t exist.

“AI” is a misnomer and there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest that we’re even on a path toward actual AI, sometimes called AGI, though they’re also changing that to just mean a profitable LLM which is fucking hilarious.

Any task you use a bot to do, you will become worse at that task. For mass data analysis, that’s fine, poring over reams of data is already a skill that other technology has largely obsoleted. But using it to do research, to read or write for you, or god forbid to make actual decisions and think for you, are very slippery slopes that are already causing a lot of the general public to seriously erode their basic mental capabilities.

Any games that you can just run on Steam without issue will work fine, it’s when you have to start passing launch commands etc that things become more complicated. Most things are still possible but harder because you have to deal with the very unusual way Nixos stores its files. The specific thing that made me give up and go to CachyOS was trying to get gamescope working under wayland for Steam games – every way I tried, I was having to compromise on what I actually wanted. Also VR has been easier to play with, though it’s still far from Windows parity.

I mix, my server and laptop are nixos but I use an arch variant on my desktop. Mostly I do this because of various pain points with nixos and gaming.

Well that seems like a fairly big deal.

Wow no one’s said emacs yet

Have you ever used Linux?

You seem very misinformed so I’m just providing you with resources.

Getting hung up on feature parity with Windows and Mac is both a waste of time and literally impossible given the major differences between those two UIs. KDE already does most of that legwork anyway, and you can disable middle click paste easily.

IMO your time would be best spent making GUI tooling that doesn’t already exist. Identify a pain point for you that forces you to the terminal and start there.

On many distros it is.

Lol I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant that gamescope would be difficult to get working under Bazzite’s immutable architecture.

You do realize gamescope is just a package you can install, right? Do you think it’s a unique feature of SteamOS or what?

There’s really no reason to use it on a general purpose desktop. It’s designed to basically make a PC into a console. You do still have full access to the (mostly) normal Linux system behind it, but it’s not something I’d use unless I was setting it up for someone who didn’t want to deal with any of the behind the scenes stuff.

CachyOS, Nobara, and Bazzite all should get you the same level of gaming support with more flexibility as a normal OS, and they can all run Steam Big Picture which is basically the SteamOS UI.
