Heh. I wish my work were closer to hardware level, so that playing with compilation actually made some sense. If there is a kind soul here, please do tell me: does Gentoo look like it will still be around in some 10-15 years? I would hate to be too late to hop on the bus
Probably there are different kind of self-checkouts. Only kind I've interacted with is "scan code/put here to weigh, bag is here, money goes there, till next time". Which is why I love them: can do everything at my own pace while still deep in thoughts, disturbing no one. Yeah, sometimes soft is buggy and help is needed, but not enough to make me hate them. Is there any other kind of self-checkout that is harder to navigate?
Also try to make a custom shortcut on your gnome desktop to run some application with some arguments without writing config files in random directories you have to Google and reloading some configs via a terminal.
Dafuck. I will have to google it in Windows too. And no, I doubt Win experience is going to be any better, unless there is a "download some .exe from random site and run it to install GUI program" shortcut, which itself is a questionable thing to do (ok-ok, Microslop taught too many people that it should be OK)
Buut
everyday people will not switch to Linux if their device doesn’t already come with Linux
Been thinking/saying this all along. Terminal and different way of doing things is not an obstacle, just walk into nearest computer store and see what OS they come with. Then ask a question whether some, say, doctor is going to even ask if
<whatever OS is pre-installed>
is the best choice for them. Lots of people have lots of more important things to do :)
Just today I got yet another insight about my own life along the lines of "it doesn't matter that much what I do, but rather how and why, and with what level of awareness"
Come on. I can get my hands on some robotic parts, connect them, program them to cut my head off. Is the technology at fault here? Or is it better to ask why the fuck there is no mandate for the llm to report this to
<insert institution>
and for that institution to react, coupled with severe punishments if either doesn't?
No. Don't do it. Just don't
