  • I miss when the satire became a possibility of a real currency. Of all the crypto, Dogecoin proved that there is no point in trying.

    Low cost, fairly stable, cheap to send a receive, a ton of clients and places to spend it. I never bought any, but I traded for plenty, and bought many things with it. I never worried about it becoming valuable, so I did not hoard it. I never worried about it becoming worthless either because the inflation rate was constantly shrinking.

    But the complaint was always the same: how will I get rich with this?

    Which proved that crypto is garbage and a ponzi or pyramid scheme.

    They changed the save to auto store. Super annoying now. If I wanted to keep it I would save it. Now I have extra clicks.

    I am not the only user that pastes things there to look at or temporarily copy from. A lot of people I know are annoyed. Could I turn it off? I don’t know maybe, but there are better options now anyways.

    Kate works on windows and edit is coming back so notepad just gets removed.

    OK, so you haven’t actually looked into any of the studies (there are plenty). It absolutely makes you dumber and lazy while wasting your time.

    The amount of garbage that AI puts out is astounding. I am very familiar with it, my department is in charge of facilitating users to use it. I run local LLM’s so I fully understand how offline works.

    In the case of copilot+ pc’s "an internet connection is required every so many days. They are explicit that the local processing will be combined with internet processing, and although you can turn it off for periods of time, the model will not be as robust or useful. In addition of course they are still sending all that data back with refresh by simply using windows so there is that too.

    Calling VS Code an IDE is a stretch. Are you sure you are not confusing it with Visual Studio?

    Because everything Microsoft has said, even when using Copilot + AI local still sends data to microsoft. Sound like privacy, is more like pushing the actual resource compute local while still sending data home.

    You don’t understand how using AI to help with writing is awesome?

    No, I don’t. It is lazy and not awesome at all. Every single research paper that has come out says it does one of two things (often both): wastes your time making you think you are being more efficient when you are not, AND makes you stupid. Your crutch disengages your brain, and makes it harder and harder for you to do it your self.

    And if you are taking notes, what the hell is AI doing?

    You said notepad++ which has a lot of features via plug ins. So I would assume you would want more functionality than simply a text editor, hence why I said it. If I am stuck on a windows computer, I use it for code AND notes. It works well for either case. There is even an extension for that.



  • Wait, this seems completely backwards.

    Windows: Here is some forum post to some rando’s software. SomeShit.exe. Should I install it?

    As opposed to Linux: I look in the category of the software I am interested in, click install.

    And as far as breaking… I use linux because it doesn’t break. I don’t have time for windows bullshit.
