I wish AUNZ would go Linux. I hate that we bow to Microslop!

maybe the French government went to Canonical for consultation and Canonical fucked up, as always.

Next distro war is WW3 confirmed

(btw. isn't France already developing an Ubuntu based distro? Do they hate Snaps too?)

It's one of the things, yeah. I went through the Tidal trial period as well, and there were significant gaps in their library as well, with music missing that I really can't go without.

And Apple... Well... No thank you.

I appreciate you giving me those tips though, thank you. 🫶

Tidal and Apple Music offer high-res audio (or whatever it is called) too, if that's what interested you about Qobuz.

How is it that nobody understands that NixOS is the ideal agentic OS.

It's declarative. It can become whatever you want just by tacking an include to a minimal configuration.nix.

I have a laptop set up right now that is headless until you tell an agent what kind of computer it should be.

It most certainly is not, it comes with all sorts of strings attached and guilt by association. See also "no such thing as a free lunch".

Hmm, I disagree, somebody could inherit that money and they don't necessarily have to share the political opinions of their parents. Famously Elongated Musketeer's children all hate him.

But also what about the non billionaires?

Why don't all the billions of left leaning people worldwide donate 1$ each to a fund that serves their agenda in politics and tech?

I know it's happening on a smaller scale, but why can it not be a strong and concentrated push like what is happening with the fascists?

If there was a push of all of us doing it, I would eagerly donate hundreds of $ per month to a left leaning, anti AI linux distro and the same amount for an organization like "WEF but not fascist".

But every time I donate to something like that it has no tangible effect, because the couple of people that do it with me are not enough.

That's not going "full AI" to me. Not at all. If that's "full AI", then what is "AI contributions you haven't read at all are fine"?

I think you need to take a step back, because it sounds like you just want everyone to ban AI and anything less is "full AI" or "gargling AI" or whatever. I fully sympathise that you don't like it due to its many problems, but that's not a reason to lose perspective

What, did they reverse course that I did not hear of? Latest news I can get is that not only are they going full AI, but are being "say the racist part out loud" about hiding its use pretending it's not a problem.

"gargling on AI" = "writes a contribution policy making it clear vibe-coded contributions are unacceptable"

Alright this is getting out of hand.

Indeed, thank you!

Well, as we saw with OpenClaw, 95% of users won’t set up containers and scopes if it isn’t a preconfigured default.

So yeah, Arch can do containers just fine. But if this is an “agenic” OS preconfigured to use agents, it better do that by default, out of the box, and MAKE the user scope its access.

Likewise.

Yeah, it is sad. That is precisely my sentiment, though I’d add the distinction that those “ghouls” wrapped it in corrosive marketing, and launched chat-tuned text models as a product that really shouldn’t have been presented to the public. At least not in that way.

There are people here on Lemmy who were into machine learning before ChatGPT launched. But it’s just not a lot of positive engagement for that kind of talk I suppose, especially when communities like localllama are rather quiet.

It pains me, when I was entering my teenage years, I had two paths, physics or computer science, for a while I focused on both and in the end, economic pressure along with AI research pushed me into CS.

Now I get to watch decades of research, millions of man hours get trashed on the internet because a few rich ghouls from silicone valley gave it the last push and claimed it as their own.

The Swiss have relentlessly been working on ethically trained models with data willfully contributed and borrowed from the public donain, but we never get to talk about it, or the fact that China's frontier level models are democratizing what the Americans stole, they didn't do it out of kindness, but it regardless, gave us back part of what was stolen.

I appreciate you chiming in, it's nice to see level headed folk.

You mean the malware store.

yeah the script thing is just hilarious to me. it shows that no one actually touched any code building this thing because LLMs are NOTORIOUS for insisting on using scripts.

So many open exploits with this "distro" and don't get me started on the "plugin store".

Aw man i didnt know that

[…] It uses neovim as it’s default editor. note the VIM part. so logically to navigate a TILING WINDOW MANAGER whose default editor is neoVIM you’d use VIM style navigation right? nope not on omarchy. […]

This is one of the things - like setting super + F11 for fullscreen - that I thought was such poor design that let me immediately know that everything else was going to be shit. The navigations and tiling are the core of functionality, so if the core is bad then the shell must be bad as well. Not to mention that instead of using Hyprland's Lua configuration to extend actions like closing all windows in the current workspace they use bash scripts calling hyprctl and jq.

Also, marketing it like a beginner friendly distro while shipping Hyprland with Neovim is just imbecile behaviour. Finally what really pissed me off is how little to no acknowledgement they give to the tools they are using and pretending they did all the hard work.

Real piece of shit "distribution".

Thanks for mentioning this, I let my guard down on this one.

I just found it in an article an decided to share it. I have no plans on even testing it because I've tested scrolling window managers like Niri for about two months and did not like the scrolling. But I understand people may like it over other tiling layouts.

I just thought it would be nice to share an alternative to karousel

I don’t have proof but also I don’t have doubt.

Given the latest news re: KDE gargling on AI, it's pretty much a given that this is going to be vibecoded.

That's it. The installer grabs what it needs, builds Konveyor for your exact KWin and switches it on

Don't know how to argue this but all of this "run this bloated non-posix non-standard installer script" projects that are coming out this days smell like ai slop to me. Ask them why they don't provide a standard ./configure script (or a CMake script like in this case) like any decent human being will do and you'll get some bs answers.

I don't have proof but also I don't have doubt.
