@bender Yes! You guys have this thing called a "5th wheeler" 🀣 We (Aussies) just don't normally have big enough trucks to drag those "House on wheels" though πŸ˜…

This is it, boys and girls! The year of the Linux Desktop is this! I can smell it! :-D

For the first time, Linux has officially broken the 5% desktop market share barrier in the United States of America! It's a huge milestone for open-source and our fantastic Linux community.

@prologic well, the ones down there (on your list) are pretty minimal, basic even. Yet, their pricing is super high (number wise, haven't checked the equivalent from AUD to USD).

@bender are they really though when you factor in the weaker AUD? 🧐

Been spending a lot of time researching campers as I want to / plan to upgrade our current Camper Trailoer (forward fold) Stoney Creek XL-FF6 to a slightly larger Hybrid Camper/Caravan with ensuite, internal kitchenette, external full hitchen, pop-top roof and twin bunks.

This is the summary and whittling down of my research so far: https://wiki.mills.io/s/1103bc9c-dd75-4a98-b64b-8dadc5b0e51f/doc/comparision-Ln03Moiibq

@lyse which browser do you use? Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, under Ubuntu, all show it fine.

@movq This is a really good example of "simplicity" but achieves the intent and goals πŸ‘Œ

(Now, I don’t know if your screen reader can work with this. Let me know if it doesn’t.)

I don't use a screen reader fortunately (actually they're pretty garbage). So all good πŸ‘ (I juse use full-screen zoom).

For example, I reckon software should treat stdout and stderr with care and never output logs or other such garbage to stdout that cannot possibly be useful in a UNIX pipeline πŸ˜…

@movq Yeah that's why I'm striking this conversation with you πŸ˜… Not only do I respect your opinion quite highly 🀣 But like you say (and I've read their philipshpy) it can be a bit "elitism" for sure. I'm genuinely interested in what we think of as software that "doesn't suck". Tb be honest I haven't really put thought to paper myself, but I reckon if I did, I'd have some opinions/ideas...

In reply to: #hdfz6xa 1 week ago
prologic (twtxt.net)

@movq So you wouldn;t consider things written in Go to be "suckless"-esque? πŸ€”

@eldersnake Yeah well when you put it like that 🀣

In reply to: #cj4f2ya 1 week ago

@movq Curious what you would define as "suck less" software? (language agnostic of course!)

In reply to: #hdfz6xa 1 week ago
prologic (twtxt.net)

@eldersnake Yeah for sure! The thing that annoys me about a lot of this, is the sheer fact you can't really self-host let alone self-train these things I've been playing around with AI at home over the past few months and building my own neural networks from scratch (in Go) with genetic algorithms on a few tasks and training sets, but man it's hardβ„’ 🀣 I feel like we're doing something wrong here...

In reply to: #cj4f2ya 1 week ago

@eldersnake This was an interesting read for sure! πŸ‘ I don't think it had anything I hadn't already considered in terms of the ethical/moral points of view. I'm not sure where I stand myself either to be honest. I've forced myself to get familiar with the ecosystem and tooling, because in my line of work as a tech lead (staff engineer in sre) you don't want to be that one guy that ya know πŸ˜‰ Ethically/Morally though, I'm definitely with the sentiment of this post πŸ˜… Much like the whole Crypto hype yaers back (if y'all remember?!) this is also one of the most energy hungry pieces of "tech" (if you can call it that?) in a while. Then there's these other issues "stealing people's work", "reliance is causing humans to become cognitively weak and neural connections to shrink", to name a few...

How you can tell a "review post" on some random website was written by AI?

Ergonomically nicer than its binocular counterpart

How exactly is this a reason to avoid?! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

About ChatGPT rotting people's brains, similarly could be said about search engines, and reference books. Oh, also doom scrolling, and mobile devices, and the Internet... :-P
