Copying… is fuuuuuuuuun 🎶🎵

I don’t know the details of this study but it sounds like a basic result if you get people to rely on something for most of an activity and then you take it away vs those who are doing it manually, they’ve been given more progressively difficult challenges but they’ve been actually practicing and doing the work and hence internalizing it better.

It’s like those open versus closed book exams where those who actually study can do much better than those going through a book during the exam to figure it out. It’s about internalizing and practicing a material.

Not really surprising results. I guess the empirical verification is good.

omarchy really doesn’t make any sense as a distro. If someone really wants an agent, Why have all that slop prepackaged when you can just generate it yourself and have swim in your own slop.

Are they really pegging their success on attracting people who can’t even copy paste a basic Hermes agent install script?

Yeah these people don’t stay with Linux and they’re attracting short lived attention and that’s it.

I kind of enjoy seeing these corporations donators burn their money and also their reputation.

From my experience niri works well.

niri dank material shell (dms) is nice for that too. But yeah if you want something super lightweight you may just want to just config base niri yourself.

While I agree Linux is inherently anti fragile and can survive enshittification by corporate goons, that amount of money that this dot file Linux installer will have a heavy effect on what projects get funded and which ones are left to their own.

There’s a nice donate page on the archlinux site and let me guess how much they’ll get from this foundation when afaik the arch team had turned down whatever partnership the dot file installer guy wanted. Should come anyways no strings attached right? Considering they’re funding hyprland. So using arch as a base would imply they would fund them no strings attached… Right? lol

lol some bigot loser 'we’re not political! 'who never used Linux before getting all this money and surprise he has little understanding, hence still a shitty release.

I tried it for a few weeks unfortunately just so i can see the trash first hand. and it is buggy, not intuitive to use, full of shit webapps for crap platforms and worthless because all of that agentic crap that you’d want can be easily done on a base arch install.

I agree that’s not good. What else would I do if I had todownload an app to checkout or have to navigate their self checking that’s just a shit show all the time. If the store is being cheap, not properly hiring people and paying a good wage, that is not my responsibility and I’m not going to have to get some app so I can do my purchase and I’m absolutely not going to take my time to put the items back, and nor would the employees want that either.

I have no responsibility to do free labor for profit hungry criminals.

I’ll do a big shop, look shocked at the line up and just walk out. Have fun dealing with my cart.

There’s no way I’ll get an app. I get they’ll have methods to entice people but I held off getting Facebook when it was the big thing, I’ll be ready for when corpos want to fuck around.

In fact I welcome it to see how I do.

Typical behavior by this company and I expect worse. If it makes you sleep better at night, they probably don’t actually delete accounts when requested. They have ghost profiles, after all.

I love computers but never enough to participate in their plans.

I know how to read. Write. Draw. Go on walks. Play sports. Basically sit and watch paint dry than give a shit about not using a computer again

Hey there, it looks like you’re short the money needed for your purchase. Five 4 hour shifts will get you your meal you need. Get to work and you’ll get our 🤡 token in exchange for the food. Don’t forget to smile to greeting customers! You’ll get a nice bonus"

Listen we can’t have people thinking they can have some sort of responsibility to function in the world. That might give them the bright idea that they can start judging for themselves the state of the world and to demand some kind of accountability. They might even clue in to the problems that the tech monopolies are purposely causing, along with the social ills that come with it.

We can’t have that at all.

Who cares, be loud and proud about it.

Personally I’m just going to ramp up being annoying to my friends until they switch because they’ll thank me in a couple years and also because they deserve it

And files that can be deleted while even in use just because.
