AI ruined them for me. I used to use them all the time. Now, whenever I do, I get called out for using AI.

It's cool, but when I tested it last time, it was very, very laggy and very slow. Not sure if that's the definition of "modern".

Well, the same goes for wrong code. One wrong line can cost millions or destroy everything completely, depending on the context. It is also not very easy to recover from.

Couldn’t it easily also take over the CEO job? Pretty sure it’s easier than producing code that works and is maintainable.

Of course, he doesn’t believe in it.He profits from it most. Having me time or family time, who cares as long as the money flows, right?

Am I missing something or is there isn’t even an official LSP available for Elixir? For me, that looks like a red flag. From what I see, DX in VSCode is barebones.

It’s tough to find anything useful these days because of all the spam - especially due to AI, content. If I do use it, I usually use it to find something on Reddit.

Every month same news.

Wish everyone who is affected the best.

You’re correct :) I think I understand what you’re trying to say, and I agree, but I still don’t understand his arguments. It’s not like his company is not profitable, or the employees work not well enough

He earns so much money, of course he loves to work and doesn’t give a damn about people who don’t even earn a fraction of his salary. He also seems to forget that people who actually work for him bring these high profits for the company. How about being thankful for having smart employees who help you to keep your business so profitable?

If I were to get paid as much as he does, I wouldn’t even leave the office; I would sleep there.

It looks very pretty but the display bezels look kinda thick.

I have also the first generation and the option off was always available. It turned off NC and transparency mode.

That’s not true—these scenarios absolutely apply to casual users, like students or hobbyists who do things like video editing or photo editing. Students, for example, often need Windows-specific software for schoolwork.

Even if we ignore Windows-specific software entirely, there are still other pain points: DRM support, HDR support, certain drivers, and even the variety of package managers and ways to install things. You know what I mean—these things are nothing special for us, but for someone who’s just casually gaming or doing some creative hobbies, being forced to use the terminal to, for example, update Nvidia drivers or find a workaround to get an unsupported game launcher to work, can be a total dealbreaker

Even something as basic as swapping out PC hardware as a gamer isn’t as seamless on Linux as it is on Windows. That’s a lot of friction for someone who just wants things to “work”. And you know I’m right because if I would be wrong with all these points, we already would have a year of Linux desktops … as it’s being said every year.

You underestimate how most people just value ease of use, familiarity and don’t care about freedom and control over a system. Most don’t want to spend their time tweaking or figuring out why something doesn’t work and that’s totally fine.

Then you have more faith in humanity, or casuals, than I do. :D I mean, this was three years ago, but I don’t think much has changed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0506yDSgU7M&t=

Why would anyone want to bother with a terminal just for gaming, a little bit of browsing, casually installing mods, using Photoshop, etc.? I mean, just watch the video, and this is coming from a guy who at least knows one or two things about computers.

Plus, don’t forget, Linux also has its quirks, just like Windows, only in different areas. Like not so awesome Nvidia drivers :P

What exactly is such a big hassle with Windows? Sure, it’s bloated with trash, but again, it’s good and simple enough for everyone to use. Try explaining to a casual user that they can’t execute an exe file or use Photoshop or whatever on Linux without specific workarounds.
