I mean seriously, just try ollama with lfm2 on a macbook with the current NPU… Why the fuck would I pay these clowns to run that process elsewhere? Why would I pay for model access when they’ve plateaued and open/free models are everywhere?
I don’t think absolutely every sharp edge needs to be sanded off everything. I think certain things should require proficiency to be considered a learned skill.
Computers are still a skill, and we sanded the edges off until it was playmobile pieces rather than a productive work tool.
I wouldn’t dare call myself an accountant even if I can competently file things. Why do people think they understand computers when they have reading comprehension failure and can’t understand the computer is telling them what they need to do? These people don’t know computers, they barely know windows. They were always going to have to learn something.
Skill issue.
Equally, I have no idea how to do anything in Windows 11. Its as alien to me as linux is to you. I understand macos better than I understand windows.

Ya’ll need to read and surround yourself with people who can tie their own shoelaces.
Yeah, thats the vibe I have with Endevour/Arch… its just “get the fuck out of my way and let me do my work/play vidya game”.
I hate snaps and flatpacks, just make real packages guys its not hard.
Also, just a follow up reply: I’ll do what I want, thanks.
If you have a struggle with it thats on you, I’ve found it easy to get working and keep working. Even all my games through steam and lutris.
Don’t assume everyone will struggle with reading error messages and googling.
My dude, its… easy?
Hard disagree. Less people should drive, they have no mechanical sympathy and scant grasp of what they’re doing.
Its just as a society we’ve decided to enable them because it meant we could sell cars.
I’ve not had the experience you’ve had.
Skill issue. People cannot just passively expect to understand a complicated thing without applying themselves.
If they can’t use a computer, they can’t use a computer.
I think these people are having skill issues or reading comprehension issues. Arch is not hard. Infact, its less bs than de-snapping an ubuntu install.
I’ve put endeavour on a bunch of desktops and various thinkpads of a variety of vintages, including very modern.
I dunno man, it just works. I buy conservative technology choices and vendors and shit just works.
The hardest thing in my life is getting WWAN to work reliably OOTB on thinkpads with cellular.
Edit: No, the hardest thing in my life is asking people “Is wayland in the room with us right now?” because I’ve yet to have a machine running wayland.
I dunno man, less shits broken here than on Ubuntu.
I’ve been recommending Endeavour because its “Arch with a nice installer” and it seems to go down well with modestly technical people.
Especially since they can then pick their DE.
were you typing with your left hand?
Sure feels like its not nobody when its “everybody” in the guise of societal murder if you don’t work.
use AI quite a bit
shot quality
heh
Simultaneously that is not my point, but you’re also correct.
So its not about the company but about somewhere “safe” to park money
Once upon a time we called those government bonds.
The IPO means they’ll be listed in things like the S&P 500 which means they’ll get automatic investment from our pension funds and the like.
Someone needs to do the needful.
