Asking AI in my experience is not always bad but you have to know at least a little about the subject for it to be helpful. If you just tell it “this doesn’t work, fix it” and leave out important information then it comes up with strange solutions.

I’m not really that deep into it but I’m also using elogind and Alpine uses the newest Kernel so do your points still apply in that case?

Yeah, and as I understand it that’s what Linus wants people to do. So banning AI would not allow this to happen when working on kernel code.

For me the most criticism against AI is rather criticism against Big Tech. AI itself however doesn’t have to inherently come from Big Tech so banning it wouldn’t really be reasonable for something like the Linux Kernel.

Recently I started experimenting with Alpine Linux. Initially because I wanted something for a Raspberry Pi which had newer packages than Raspberry OS and was quite minimal. Now I also installed it on a spare laptop and set up a desktop environment with the River Compositor mostly just to try it out. Most things I want to do are already working as expected while after boot it uses only 380MB of RAM. So I like how minimal it is, the package management is really nice and stable and it just runs very nicely on this older laptop.

Depending on where you are you you don’t even need trucks with this much range, because the time that drivers are allowed to drive by law is already the limiting factor. Elektrotrucker is a german guy who has been driving long haul with electric trucks for some time now and with a bit of planning and an app that he helped develop he could drive through all of Europe. He’s actually starting a round the world journey with an electric truck right now.

Similar to “bug” you can establish “spider” as a new computer term for things that infest a running system. Then you do conference talks, write books about it and keep all the earnings you get from doing that. The spider can’t sue you for a share of that if it doesn’t also pay you rent.

Yeah that’s reasonable. I guess I’d just want maybe a button in the extension manger “use anyway” to quickly enable “unsupported” extensions after an update without having to use this hack.

Ah yeah that’s the main thing I hate about GNOME. If you have the extension installed you can just go to .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and for each extension add 50 to the supported gnome-shell versions list. It actually works perfectly fine on GNOME 50 on my PC with that hack. I really don’t know why GNOME extensions work this way because I’ve never had an extension that didn’t run like normal after doing this.

That’s openbar which also changes the colors of the panel and menus. I use it to and with it’s auto theming it’s super easy to totally change the look of your system.

In the middle: mention politics and immediately regret it.

I love the simplicity of SolveSpace but I wish they’d have a loft or sweep feature and it would support free form modelling in some way. Then it would be perfect for me.

I have looked at Void a little but honestly the handling of the package manager and even it’s name just throw me of for some reason. Why do you like it?
