The funny thing is that if AI coding were that good, we would already see widespread adoption in open source projects. But we haven’t, because it sucks. Of course commercial software development companies are free to lie about how much they use AI, or get creative with their metrics so they can get their KPI bonuses. So we can’t really believe anything they say. But we can believe in transparency.

As always, there are so many people selling snake oil by saying the word AI without actually telling you what they mean. Quite obviously there are a great many tools that one could call AI that can be and are and have been used to help do a ton of things, with many of those technologies going back decades. That’s different from using ChatGPT to write your project. Whenever you hear someone write about AI and not give clear definitions, there’s a good chance they’re full of s***.

Not only the shareholders. If some of the higher level administration can get richer in the short run, even if that might actually hurt the shareholders in the medium run, you can bet that many of them will do so.

Step 1: Don’t generalize. Don’t say “Americans” when you mean “some Americans”. As you can see from browsing here and on other media sites, there are a great many vocal people who have voted Democrat for years but are entirely disappointed by decades of failed DNC leadership.

Step 2: Remind people that everyone is on their own side. Politicians might vote the way you want, or not, but their interests will never be exactly the same as yours. Don’t ever believe that the two-party system is an accurate description of our values.

Step 3: Share memes of Schumer.

LibreOffice is solid, too.

Tried? That is boring. Stick with what we kept using.

There are no absolutists, my friend. Everyone has limits.

No, it doesn’t mean that. Think about what you are suggesting.

Have you looked at Wikipedia already? It is a good starting point.

It isn’t paranoia. I know how many items I have had to discard because of small stains. Light colors are a waste of money.

Of course we tolerate dishonesty all the time, though.

Cost who, my friend? What kind of fraud? Don’t try to be cute.

For example, if someone gets $3 extra on food stamps, FFS good on them. If Musk gets millions (more, but let’s lowball it), he can rot in hell.

I have used it on old underpowered computers happily for years. There’s just no need for anything with high specs.

I think you can’t use the word cynical in that way. People can be cynical, but corporations can’t. Corporations don’t have that type of thought or feeling.

So I’m really not sure what you’re trying to ask. Are you asking which CEOs are the most cynical?

I use Debian on a regular basis and have for years, but I wouldn’t recommend it as the starting distro unless I knew that the user would have very ordinary hardware and no special software needs. It’s just annoying if you have to learn how to install Chrome, or your wireless drivers, for example.

It’s almost simple enough, but not quite, in my view. But if I were helping them get it installed, then after that they would probably be good to go.
