  • Well, if we are not looking at all the disaster the hype is doing on so many levels (which is fine in the sense that technology and fools are different things), I draw the line at... intelligence, not simulation of hardware. I care lot less if something before me runs on carbon, metal or, say, sulfur than I care if it is intelligent

    And as someone has already pointed out, even defining intelligence is damn hard, and different intelligence works differently (someone who is great at moving their body, like dancers or martial artists, is definitely more intelligent than me in quite a few areas, even if I know math or computers better than them). So... "artificial intelligence" as a bunch of algorithms (including LLM) etc - no problem with me, "artificial intelligence" as "this thing is thinking" or "this thing is just as good as a human artist/doctor/lawyer" - nah, bullshit

  • Wow, do I wholeheartedly thank you for this. Yes, we need something better, and I want to see more of "I think this will work better than what we have, because...", and not "I think capitalism is bad". Me personally would have started not with the system but people, buut as long as every aspect of life is going to eventually taken care of, bottom-up or top-down way of getting there does not really matter

  • Well, Arch wiki explicitly tells you are expected to read the page before doing an update. Those distros which claim to be user-friendly as in "we treat you with kids gloves" definitely should take care of this, no questions here

  • Where did you get the idea that Arch is a daily driver for regular user? The very distro that tells in big letters: stuff can break, you better watch out on updates? The very distro that has command-line install process with chroot-like commands as official one?

  • Yeah, good luck reading 20+ pages of interlinked rules of what is what, what does what and in what order, then comparing that to how system behaves after your changes

    Lol just kidding. No business rules are harder than five lines of text

  • Hey there. Of course, I am in no position to say "do this, and it will be all right", but I will say that if there is any other way to live that won't put this kind of load on you - do it. You being happier is way way more needed in this world than you getting those certificates
