does use of AI tools accelerate release of working features?

are you using AI correctly as a tool to resolve the correct solutions?

not really. It’s basically like smoking. The fast food gives you a nice feeling and you want more.

We know it’s bad for us. It feels too good to stop and is an emotional crutch and people lose the ability to self regulate the context for the cheap, high calorie foods.

Bil sabah tier content, nice to see you out of your usual wheelhouse.

The more shit changes, the more it stays the same; mewling (or whatever the fuck it is ) from the previous century

BSD.

Linux has reasonable use of AI permitted.

Take advantage of your weaknesses and find sports that you enjoy doing. Set up positive feedback loops. Will post more later

Face too big

they are for … cleaning small areas with a little bit of cotton.

An actual medical recommendation was to use them to clean my baby’s belly button while the umbilical cord was falling off.

I did some distro hopping, that was impressive to me.

I mean, why are they not using these resources to tackle child poverty, prosecute the epstein list or the panama papers if they want to help children so fucking badly?

it’s interesting how he made the leap from schlock to blockbuster.

what’s the original?

When unions say « unionize now »

They mean “we’re not going to grow unions as a concept; figure this shit out like our guys did”.

The 00s left wings absolutely fucked us by not spreading unions to emerging careers like programming.

Hey friends, your individual actions mean nothing, please continue supporting people making things worse.

But I WANT it to be part of the system config. There is no point to what I want to maybe use this for if I have to do it per user.

thanks? I haven’t read it all, but just to note, I’m looking for LXQT and not LXDE, but maybe I just need to replace the one line that says LXDE with LXQT then I can try something that whittles away everything else you have there.

Have it put information about last run details in a persistent file. When the cron job runs again, check the file first to know how the next iteration should run.

I want to try out Guix in a way that’s easy. I have very little time, but when I have time that I am mentally well enough to do something technical , but not confident enough to do something important, I fuck around with different OSes in VMs.

Guix has been a bastard to play with. I can get an XFCE/Ratpoison env set up. Rebuilding Guix over wifi is such a fucking massive pain that my only sense of balance is that I keep hammering their services for gigabytes , so they’re suffering as much as me.

So, if I want to try using LXQT, the entire fucking thing doesn’t compile, and what’s worse, it downloads fucking EVERYTHING before trying to build properly, then crashing out, or , finishing building everything again and then having LXQT not launch on login. I just get a black screen.

I get that I should learn how to setup x whatever to make it run properly and understand what it is I’m doing. But like, I can learn a few things at a time, and I learn by doing and iterating. My feelings on the documentation is that GNUdocs are written by people who make a fuckload of assumptions on existing user knowledge, and even their ability to understand paradigms with no indicators. What I mean by this, is that it is akin to a map with no key or legend. There are different sections highlighted in different colours , but not explanation to what those colours are. And there is text that says “avoid the hinterlands, as they have hostile bandits. go for the blinterlands, they have fine ales and buxom wenches” BUT NOTHING TELLS ME WHICH COLOUR REFERS TO EITHER PLACE.

Compare and contrast the Mozilla documentation on web standards :

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array

https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/rm-invocation.html

The Mozilla docs show examples of the things in action, the GNU ones (the bad ones, anyway) don’t have concrete examples or things to avoid. Just abstractions only.

Changing or installing different DEs was really easy on Fedora;

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/switching-desktop-environments/

sudo dnf install @kde-desktop-environment

Trying to do the same for a repeatable config.scm , WHICH IS THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF GUIX, is a nightmare.

Here’s the focused in part of the info :

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/1.5.0/en/html_node/Desktop-Services.html

I remove xfce-desktop-service-type and add in lxqt-desktop-service-type , then run sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm , after waiting for somewhere between 45 mins to an hour, the rebuild ends and I get a non-working option to select LXQT in login and have no fucking idea wtf to do. Fucking great.

Or, it makes me wait 45mins before saying the SCM needed --allow-downgrades, or for me to waste gigabytes of space downloading the entire earth using guix pull.

I really want to go for GUIX for a few reasons : sensible, systemd free reproducible builds, a repo that seems an appropriate size with appropriate support, and not going for right wing software.

I can’t fucking do that if there is no looseness and “playability” factor to learn by doing. I don’t want to, and shouldn’t fucking read a book length manual to learn everything before I can do a few things that are very basic tasks or doing the central point of your software.

It’s like 1 hour before I go to bed when I’m fucking about with it. I don’t have the brainpower to bother doing that shit, and if I did, I wouldn’t be wasting it investigating alternate operating systems.

EDIT : If anyone knows of a good source of .scm configs I can fuck about with and tips on making use of cached stuff , I would really appreciate it.

EDIT2 : BTW, I am not the biggest fan of fedora for a few reasons, but I have to give it its due props. That functionality alongside archinstall’s easy setup let me try basically every fucking UI under the sun quite easily.
