the dev vibecodes; I make a distinction between using the crap as a boilerplate helper and a full-blown agentic “hey computer, do this but do it super-good!”. not only that, they got a super-asshole vibe as they removed claude traces from the repo and then flaunted that it’s so people won’t know what parts were vibeshat. “good luck finding the cutoff point”, I’m paraphrasing here.

to each their own, but that’s a hard pass for that fork from me.

not a customer, but you’d do well to state front and center whether or to what extent this was vibeshat. same should go for every “I built” post, imo.

if you were looking for an excuse to torpedo this abomination, here it is. hosting this gargantuan stack just for an encrypted csv file? at least the client (electron) gobbles up RAM like it’s free while being bug-compatible with whatever chrome version was current half a year ago.

sadly, news ain’t great on the other side of the fence - keepassXC dev is all-in on vibeshitting; latest non-polluted version is 2.7.9.; works fine and the stuff they’re working on is pretty far from essential. some unknown folks forked it but who’s to say what their expertise is.

never thought I’d disable my autoupdate timers but here we are. keep your eyes open.

eOS to lineageOS is like Ubuntu to Debian; a more newb-oriented solution with some stuff preinstalled but with less choices; e.g. you can’t switch out the iOS-like launcher. if you know your way around, you’re wasting your time with eOS. but if it’s for a less technically adept user, you might be doing them a favor with eOS. the murena suite can be opted out of.

had a bunch of those. the best thing you can do is disable the nvidia graphics and run it off the intel graphics, plenty powerful for everyday tasks, lower power consumption, less heat, longer battery life. only downside, you lose display out.

after that, any linux distro will suit you just fine. go with fedora for newest and best or debian for safe and boring.

anyone knows what kinda driver that isn’t nouveau works for a GT750M? @mlg@lemmy.world which did you use for your 750ti?

got a Macbook Pro 2013 motherboard (i7-4850, 16 GB DDR3, GT750M 2 GB) that I’m thinking of turning into a desktop. no gaming intended, although welcome if possible (old titles).
