  • Is this a copypasta? It should be a copypasta.

    I AM AN AI SLOP WHORE. I use chatgpt every goddamn DAY. You are all Luddites to me, who scoff at the motor vehicle while your horse stubbornly refuses your commute today. So many of you write “I used it once in 2022 and it was bad so now I Bing everything and spend hours of my precious life wading through the godforsaken modern internet”. Not me, I send my AI slave into the fray while enjoying a fine Moscato, from the throne I built (with help from chatGPT on material selection and how to do joinery). If AI is “no good”, you are not using it correctly.



  • I personally prefer Krita to Gimp, otherwise my real issues with Linux being:

    • Lack of pro audio support. Sure, a lot of open source plugins are available on Linux, but only 1 usable DAW (Ardour), and even that has it’s own “issues” (de facto paid, if you don’t want to wrestle with exact compiler and make versions the devs won’t tell you).
    • X11 is kind of dated, while Wayland is still not up to the task.
    • GNOME devs. After all the sabotage, probably done in order to force people to use GTK and their UX design sensibilities, they should be banned from any Wayland protocol discussion.
    • Elitist users. They’ll scream at you online for using a normal text editor instead of VIM, they want you to write little automated scripts for GDB instead of using something with a normal GUI, etc.









  • Dev here who also happens to support Linux, and while Linux has its own challenges (whoever came up with the libevdev API, should not allowed to come up with any other API’s), I think it’s good to support Linux natively regardless. GNOME devs however should stop forcing their UX ideas onto others sometimes even outside of Linux. One of them when I was asking about how to I make the Alt key on Windows to stop it trying to open the nonexistent menu bar, then they told me to “just add one”. I’m developing games, not just desktop apps, where the alt key isn’t expected to open a menu bar. I then got told that it’s “expected behavior” (Hungarian here, I’d like to expect that both alt keys are for accessing a second set of gliphs, and one of them isn’t a dedicated “menu key”), and that games like Unreal Tournament “did it already” (that one used the escape key for menus).
