Lol. They were cloning absolute shit to begin with. So if anything this is a compliment to devs capability

Oh. Now I get you. Thank you for bearing with me this long :)

Well… yeah. I would be very hesitant (to say the least) about writing complex code in C, too

Now substitute you with me, let’s say I know and like Ada (it is not true, but does not matter) and there is also “project in Ada” same as “the project is in Rust” from your comment. Then following your logic I could be positive about Canonical trying to substitute core utils with their Ada counterpart

Which I am not going to be, because to me that’s not about programming languages. Which is how we come back to my first comment: “yay, there is a <language name> re-write of some important software” is ok to think as an individual, but it is not (can not be? should not be?) a reason to be glad about what Canonical is doing

Your arguments applies to any language. Hence why not re-write same tools in any of them, right?

Anyone who writes Rust code can read, adapt and make changes to it

Lol. Anyone who writes C code can read, adapt and make changes to it

Anyone who writes Python code can read, adapt and make changes to it

Anyone who writes Ada code can read, adapt and make changes to it

What kind of argument is that?

So one more sign that I am right to be suspicious of rust. Thank you for sharing :)

This. Llm surely can generate any number of lines that seem to be a working code, that does not mean it will work at all. And sure as hell it is not to be given freedom in making architecture choices

Here is another one, no compression:

• read image
• send a prompt “regenerate image, here is pixel-by-pixel description”
• enjoy the result

(sarcasm)

because I am not switching. another Linux project gives out some suspicious sounds, so I find myself thinking that moving to another OS altogether might turn out a good idea after all, besides the fun of learning something new

So I will drop any project that goes nuts before they get a chance to fuck up my life or work

No, I am worried about idiots committing llm generated code straight into production without even bothering to review it

And here I was suspecting myself of looking for elitism for my thoughts of switching to some *BSD system

attach something to the bottom, pull, fix position

Edit: I am late. kudos for everyone who was faster :)

What the actual fuck. Sorry, I won’t have better words for quite a while now

They made it unaffordable to run Windows 11, and that’s how we get the Year of Linux on the Desktop?

Of course. No matter how good not-windows-operating-system is, only people interested, capable and willing to make the switch will migrate on their own. Others will wait until it becomes unbearable to stay or for someone to do it for them (pre-installs when a new computer is bought)

Wow. Idiots being idiots. The guy tried to play with legal rules and - surprise - lost. I am glad you got out of there in time

Oh yeah. It takes experience and clear head to remember to account for all the inevitables that are going to happen besides actual dev-hours-to-create-this. A hard lesson I am still learning

Ooh yeah, my favourite “I will vibe code it” route :)

Made me want to become that notorious software architect, just to be the reason that “X is going to take Y days. Want faster? Change your fucking expectations/scope of X”

Thanks for notifying, I hate to know it’s true (no insult intended)
