You could say the United States has a long history of electing populist fascists.

90% light tech entertainment, 10% educational. Youtube tech review channels have limited usefulness outside those few moments you need to make a new purchase but sometimes you might discover or learn something new, but it’s mostly just constant roll of advertisements of new tech gadgets, basic tech advice for the uneducated masses, benchmarks and other such things that don’t really matter much and to be honest, most of the content comes out looking and sounding the same - and rather corporate.

But I guess that’s what happens to all big media outlets eventually.

The WAN show (current tech-afftairs podcast) is the only “half-serious” thing that’s worth a listen imho.

Or fire them. I think either one works for them.

Of course he would say that. But are there any actual productivity gains in the first place or is he just cosplaying. Most of the data right now seems to indicate the perceived velocity gains in lines written/PRs submitted are actually just unnecessary code churn. The time gained from coding is spent in reviewing instead.

But maybe Meta doesn’t do that. They probably don’t.

in Linux is under discussion

Are you referring to LKML discussion? Or some other metaphysical discussion we should be aware of? Yes. Linus replied in the thread.

This one: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/CAHk-=wi4zC+Ze8e+p3tMv8TtG_80KzsZ1syL9anBtmEh5Z40vg@mail.gmail.com/

It’s not really very surprising point of view.

My comment is mostly a reflection of people who are not project maintainers. FOSS users are known to be insufferable bunch. We tend to want to crucify people who are trying something different (just see the comments in this thread, for example). The ”community” is toxic, as the kids say.

A dime a dozen in FOSS it seems.

Not really into fungi or old free software fogies so I guess I’d have to go with traitor.

Miguel also developed Xamarin and Mono (his company was acquired by Microsoft).

RMS labeled him as “Traitor to the Free Software Community” which has to be some kind of badge of honor, lol

Ok, well - there’s the community support section as well. I’ve been on Debian since 1997 so I’m probably not the best person to give detailed advice on this.

Good luck!

Not sure why you felt like you had to have LLM write your post, but each to their own…

Ubuntu and Fedora are the officially supported distros. So go with either of them. https://frame.work/linux

Seems Bazzite, Arch, Nix and Mint are top of the “community supported” distros. https://frame.work/laptop16?tab=linux

The real world use-cases are not what techbro CEOs promised? Who would have thought?

The ”quality” of current gen LLMs limits their usage to secondary tasks like pure code generation, documentation or testing. It’s impactful but nowhere near the point where you start replacing your engineers with it.

Harness it for very specific tasks and maybe you can gain productivity increases but for anything else its going to cost a lot and still need constant handholding

Pro: It does what I need an OS to do. Mostly, I need it to manage my hardware devices and staying out of my way.
Con: It’s a pain in the ass when it occasionally decides to stop managing my hardware devices and gets in my way.

What do I miss from Windows: Nothing. I’ve been using Linux since 1997. Back then Win95 was absolute shitshow. Idk what it is now. I don’t much care.

I don’t. I’ve been running Debian since 1997.
From what I read on the Internets, lot of gamers seem to like Bazzite.

Just try it out for a bit. If you don’t like it, switch back. That’s it. It’s not one of lifes major decisions.

It’s crazy someone would write an article about tiling window managers and try to introduce them as the “new hot thing”.

large collection of services in docker.

Ok, so the error message would indicate lack of available file descriptors and that probably depends on what your docker services are doing at the time and if you’ve set any ulimits on your containers.

So what are your host vs. docker ulimits? If you haven’t set any container ulimits, it’ll just use the global from the host.

ulimit -Hn

Longer explanation: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/limit-file-descriptors

So what are your ulimit’s set to? What are you running when that starts?

Good start. Now remove it entirely.
