I agree, it’s so off topic.

I disagree, it’s incredibly impressive that this task can be automated. I think your hang up is really about not liking AI, which is totally fine. But this is still a very impressive application of the technology regardless

Why would a company announce that their product is so good they aren’t releasing it? It’s marketing their other models at best, and at worst they’re trying to trick politicians into regulating the f-ck out of AI and make them the primary trustees à la cell carrier pseudo-monopolies.

By what metric? Some arbitrary feeling about how you think vibe coders are?

All knowledge is distilled from prior knowledge. I don’t think it matters what the author thinks or doesn’t think. The world is different than the one you knew now.

Yes, naturally. It’s a brave new world.

Yawn. Anthropic already pulled this trick.

I mean, yeah. I don’t even use flatpak. I’m really arguing against flatpak on these grounds; that I don’t believe it to be the package manager’s job to police which packages I’m allowed to see on some arbitrary ideological grounds.

the question becomes, is it the end user’s decision to decide what packages they download/use or is it the repository/package manager’s responsibility to show end users which apps are allowed to be used or not.

I understand the objections to vibe coding, but for those of us who don’t care how a good tool was built (when it actually is good), this just forces us away from your favorite platform. Like it or not, this is the present and these AI tools are available. People will use them.

That said I think it’s utterly ridiculous that this article was written using AI.

Am I the only one cynical enough to feel physical pain when I see “blazing fast” in a README? It’s like a dog whistle for “hey everybody, I’m kinda annoying!”

Their strategy is basically adopt now, hey now we’re forced to fix it! And it’s disgusting. Frankly, I don’t know how any enterprise users on Ubuntu will be able to forgive this. Well, many businesses are on RHEL and not Ubuntu anyways…

That’s a better price than I thought it would be, but still quite high. I will consider buying it someday, but today it’s a luxury I can’t afford…

Perhaps, the difference is that I’m not implying that anyone who disagrees with me is a nazi.

There is a big difference in the implications behind my post and OP. OP seems to be implying that anybody who doesn’t raise hell about Omarchy is a nazi. I’m just saying it’s easier to “vote with your CPU.” If a particular configuration of instructions make you think you’re a nazi, just don’t run them.

Here’s a non-political example. I don’t run Duckstation because the developer frequently makes it abundantly clear that he hates Linux users and in recent years has done his best to pretty much ban its use on my distro of choice, Arch (btw). It’s a personal decision that other people just don’t need to know about. Feel free to disagree with me on this nuance, but I think it’s actually more “fascistic” to attempt to forcibly compel people to not run software on ideological grounds.

Tl;dr vote with your cpu. If enough people do it, the software will die. Pearl clutching does nothing but raise buzz around the software that you hate

I have a really cool idea if you’re the type to complain about software you don’t like. You can try this thing called “continuing to not run that software that upsets you.” I do it all the time! It’s quite liberating to not care about nor try to control others!
