Everyone’s different idk. I myself love command line. I have enjoyed Linux for a long time but it didn’t really become my daily driver until recently. I find it very rare that I use the GUI for more than gaming and watching stuff. Everything else is command line. I’ve had friends refuse to try Linux due to the “requirement” of needing to do stuff in command line. When I showed them some newer distros that appeal to users who don’t really feel comfortable with command lines.

I’ve recently been getting into programming for work. Which of course has got me trying to learn more about AI. I’m still a super amateur. I started with bing AI cause that free gpt4 access and bypassing the 4k character limit by telling bing not to reply until I’m done. Now I’m primarily using free plan of phind and its vscode extension. Which I really like. I don’t use the buttons that write code as I always write code myself and rarely copy paste. Helps me learn. I just like that it’s quicker without crazy character limits.

I did recently see that you can pay for bing AI in VS code. Then it got me thinking if I’m gonna pay then I want to make sure it is for something good and prob not Microsoft. So considering paying for phind but now I am trying to look into what others are doing. There’s a world of products I’ve never heard of like hugging face. So I guess it’s time to start my journey on finding which one works best for me. I’ve recently degoogled myself so haven’t really touched bard but if Gemini proves worth it I may.

Just rambling thoughts from a self taught noob programmer.

Yeah it annoyed me that you have to use google contacts

It’s been out for a long time with limited access and nothing yet. Maybe Apple will change their mind toward it when it’s being used by a large group of people finally. Hopefully not.

Edit: I was wrong. See below.

Wow crazy detail. I’ll read it when I get a chance lol. I stopped at “I’m a single tasker” I recently learned about the term “monotropism” which is so me.

I personally enjoy it but I’ve been seeing a lot of posts / comments about people giving up due to lack of niche/interesting communities*. While I understand that I appreciate Lemmy for what it is. I get a lot more interaction here than Reddit.

I use arch.
edit: lol while I am new to arch, I guess I kind of expected people to disagree with me. I was under the impression that stock arch is very lightweight? I know there used to be jokes about “I installed Arch” cause it’s supposed to be hard. But I installed Arch on my desktop and server recently, I did the manual install on my desktop and the guided install on my server. Both super straight forward. Plus Arch seems to have some of the best documentation across distros. I don’t know why it should not be suggested, unless I am missing something.

I love arch. I want to switch to NixOS for my home server but I think I’ll be sticking with arch for my main I see no further reason to switch.

This is explained in the article.

Would this let global menu (plasma) on Firefox work better under Wayland? I remember someone saying that Wayland was the reason it didn’t work.

I haven’t used pop os but I always hear good. I really do hope they switch to Debian. Ubuntu should not be so many people’s first choice anymore. 10+ years ago sure but now? No reason. They just push so hard the newbies gravitate to them.

On top of that I’m still baffled how they let a contributor purposefully fuck up a translation to the point they had to stop downloads. Sure bad eggs happen but how did they not notice until after… especially with what happened with cyberpunks translation.

So happy I finally moved from Ubuntu to arch finally last week.

I had a similar thought. I got a plugin for neovim that lets you manage files and folders with nvim and seems like a quick way to easily move a bunch of files and folders around.

I haven’t really used it, as you said I stick with shell commands. But I could see some people getting used to that. Especially when dealing with a lot of files or photos and you really like vim lol

I’m currently setting up a NixOS vm and ssh in to setup all the packages my current Ubuntu server runs. It’s been fun. I can’t wait to actually move over.

Didn’t even cross my mind. So I can install it on my current Ubuntu server to get familiar with it. Def gonna try.

Yeah once I’m brave enough to move OS on my server (currently running Ubuntu server) I want to switch it to NixOS.

I’m spinning up a VM first to better understand it.

Yeah they can try and push as much BS as they want but in the end I’m never using their software and always using a shield

thanks good idea. Cause clearing cache history and cookies somehow wasnt enough. woke up with the tab open again, its haunting me.
