AI is a useful tool for coding as long as it’s being used properly. The problem isn’t the tool, the problem is the companies who scraped the entire internet, trained LLM models, and then put them behind paywalls with no options to download the weights so that they could be self-hosted. Brazen, unaccountable profiteering off of the goodwill of many open source projects without giving anything back.

If LLMs were community-trained on available, open-source code with weights freely available for anyone to host there wouldn’t be nearly as much animosity against the tech itself. The enemy isn’t the tool, but the ones who built the tool at the expense of everyone and are hogging all the benefits.

If the investments you’re making are beyond your risk tolerance - you fucked up.

Ouch, right in the profit margins.

You underestimate people obsessed with garbage trucks and sanitation.

I was thinking more of NFTs, where a single ID corresponds to a specific copy of a game - allowing you to freely trade the game to someone elses wallet.

Fine, tomorrow then. Just enough time to replace the insubordinate.

I bit the bullet when I got a 3D printer. 0 experience in any CAD or 3D modeling software. Took me a while to understand the basic concepts of a parametric CAD, but it has been well worth it.

*people who are obviously dicks or frauds usually end up hated and suffer for it

Remember, the successful assholes are indistinguishable from good people who got really lucky.

The problem is that game sellers would need to be able to add games to the blockchain so that they can be traded. But how do you implement a trusted entity in a trustless decentralized system?

Women don’t get paid to raise children today either? What a stupid statement.

I guess that is true to the extent that she isn’t knowingly sharing infected files. And her track record IS stellar.

Fitgirl is a repacker, not a cracker. When you trust a cracked game, you’re not trusting her.

Archlinux. The wiki and forums are comprehensive, occasional issues I create easy to google, surprisingly reliable. AUR makes it easy to install third-party software.

For the above mentioned reasons, I would recommend you go with one of the big 3: Debian, Fedora, or Arch. Most other distros are either derived from one of the 3 anyways, or are niche.

Long time linux user: The worse problem is they don’t even tell WHICH manual is relevant to the issue.

“How do I make my secondary drive auto-decrypt?” “RTFM”

Could have at least said “man crypttab 5” so that I don’t have to waste 3 hours just trying to find the starting point.

This user poll suggests that around 97% of respondents (at the time of making this post) will not renew

Hahaha, I’ll be pleasantly surprised if 10% of them actually quit.
