Wtf kind of article is this? This would be a great example of sampling bias.

I basically only use Lemmy. Since reddit first tried to restrict their API I’ve been outta there. Other that that I use Facebook for marketplace because less and less is on Craigslist

Just pop open a QOpenGLWidget and say goodbye to QML and your sanity forever!

I only wish to have requirements at all

That’s the most difficult problem in hobby programming: finding a project. Most interesting things seem to complex to start.

The solution is to say f it I’m going to try. Right now I’m very slowly making progress learning Rust by writing a program to trade cryptocurrency. It took a while for me to even take my goals seriously as something I am capable of. It’s half gambling and half skills development but 100% interesting enough that I have consistently come back to it. I’ve come to terms with the fact that the only money it will make me is if I get a better job by becoming a rust developer.

The Linux side of programming only really comes into play when you want to do networking, drivers, or esoteric filesystem intensive stuff. Windows and MacOS are capable of basically the same things. The main benefit of using Linux for development is that most open source projects are built by developers for development on Linux based systems, so getting dependencies has an easy one line command someone already figured out. For your situation I suspect the most important thing is how cool it feels when you use it. There’s something about setting up an operating system the way you want that keeps me coming back for more.

People are worried about losing skills to AI while all the skills have already been lost to Google and stack exchange 😅

🤣 same

To try and contribute! :P gotta start somewhere

Lol reading the source has trained me to try reading the documentation.

If it’s good, it’ll save hours or crawling through code.

has, they still work great and keep me sane

MSYS2 is my current choice for GNU/Windows

I think that’s what he and those games are going for

Unfortunately building it was a disaster a few years ago, I should give it another go.

I am legit excited to install WINE Subsystem for Linux

Or how about KDE on ReactOS on WSL?

The possibilities are endless

Something something they do sometimes

I wouldn’t trust current models to do any real work. Aaand I think humans will be cheaper than LLMs for a long time to come. Ultimately all costs are labor and if you need to give the power plant people (running the plant, mining the fuel, building the plant) sandwiches to get them to provide power for your llm, you’re probably better off giving a human programmer sandwiches instead.

The ai bubble pops when investors decide they want dividends instead of speculative gains.

Lmao this was the first thought that came into my mind after reading the post 😅

Like wiggling your ears, I believe it can be learned

*and

👀

Looks like we have representation from both ends of the spectrum here 😅

Sounds like made up star trek science 😁
