If nothing else, it is demotivating. Even putting information up on websites. Why bother if I’m just going to primarily feed AI. I’m not sure we know what a sustainable model for AI really is. You cannot have just AI feeding AI, what could go wrong with that. You cannot really motivate real people to actually write stuff if there is no reward at all – not even a reader or user connection – and then there are the financial reward issues if someone is going to do that full time and is not already FI. I notice even online forums are dying, Reddit seems a shadow of what it was and I sometimes wonder if we are just talking to AI agents.

Individuals probably don’t care, but corporations do. So it depends.

I live in a medium size city in the US, and we have a plug-in hybrid. Even the 40 mile range limit works most of the time for us. I would think EVs in the UK would work even better (lot of areas less range needed and denser).

Thanks.

Is this approach cross platform (meaning does it have Linux support for example) or are they talking about just Windows support? Isn’t the whole point of Electron that it is cross platform, not that it is fast or resource efficient?

Make is fine unless you want to build on Windows. Then you kind of need something else. It is the very slow process creation infrastructure that kills Make as a tool on Windows.

Kind of sad that there seems to be minimal effort to make Python mainline fast. There are so many projects to accelerate Python. Some even work really well. Some as much as 100X faster, and most at least 10X faster.

So it is quite terrible that we don’t all have to rent time on someone else’s computer, and use their software, and services. What an ass. What is terrible is that all the AI BS is driving up PC prices, energy prices, using up water, and polluting neighborhoods. Maybe you guys should be clean and efficient on one hand, and be paying for these things at marginal prices since your the new kid on the block. Instead your stealing from the rest of us.

I guess other thing Ubuntu One provides is kernal hot patching which I do not care about.

I think Debian has a similar option though provided by a third party.

Yes I hate the snap for everything stuff.

Regarding security updates, are the missing ones critical? I have been ignoring ubuntu one.

One reason I use Debian is that the repo is so large most things are there. If they are not or what is there is too old I use primarily flatpak and appimage.

Curious what you do not like about Ubuntu? I admit I am not crazy about it these days but one reason we uٌse it for some systems is the supported software. We are at 24.04 and only uprgade every 4 years but it seems to work fine.

Strangly said but really they are just saying focus on the problem not the person.

Not sure why you need to convince anyone. Sure you like to run a team by concensus but that is not always possible. Some times you just have to make the call or run it up the chain to have some VP make the call and get people in line.

So how does one fix? Revert?

Just curious, never used immutable distro but have considered.

There is always a good argument for symplicity and AI is not simple and has uncertain security.

Similar thing with IDEs and editors when coding. I have always prefered an editor except when the IDE does exactly what I want which is often not the case.

I know HR policy where I worked was specifically that you had to be working at the next job grade level before being promoted. The downside of that, mangement sometimes abuses this. So you have to be proactive too.

It is also often better to apologize then asking for permission when striving to do the correct thing.
