What does this mean ?

It can make phone calls and run android apps. Is that enough ?

I mean, it is, if you don’t have admin you can’t install root-level malware directly (still can if the malware uses some bug to gain privilege). But I still fully agree with your point, I just wanted to say that technically, having root is dangerous in the sense that you can do anything. Most end users have no reason to modify system files etc. Since they only use a web browser and word.

How could the word generating machine, generate words ? Frankly I am disgruntled. Flabbergasted.

I mean, whatever speed java has or doesn’t have, what the other person said was emulate, you’ll have your os then on top of that the JVM then on top of that your python implementation, then finally the python code. If that’s faster than os->python imp…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t eww supposed to run alongside a window manager ? I don’t see anything else on that screen, can you even switch tabs or anything ?

Can you share that firefox startpage image ?

I don’t get it

It is an ad.

It’s always “us vs them” huh. I’ll wager you don’t know anything about AI

I felt anger reading this. I think I just scrolled past it on reddit but lord almighty is it annoying

There’s the base vs code source code, which microsoft takes, adds a bunch of tracking, compiles it, and distributes that binary. If you compiled vs code yourself from source, you would not get the same executable.

A bit like chrome, because i’m pretty sure chrome isn’t open source, chromium is. Could be wrong on that.

The windows cavalerie has arrived I see

Where does it say that in the article ? I wholeheartedly believe “”“meta”'" would do that, but I didn’t see it mentionned here.

Trickle up economics

Not going against Gnome here, but against your last sentence.

As long as they give the user the ability to opt out/in, what’s the harm in introducing it?

Pretty sure systemd did this with a lot of things and started removing things they just didn’t like. Can’t find the website I wanted to link, but it included a lot of reasons why systemd isn’t good (for example, binary logging. Why ?) “You can always opt out” doesn’t work in the real world ; people don’t care enough to switch. Why do you think google is the biggest search engine ? Mainly because it’s the default everywhere.

In this context I guess it doesn’t matter (and I couldn’t see myself using gnome, even if it has some good polish), it’s just that “you can always opt out” leaves a bad taste on my tongue.

Did you read the comment

Hamburgers use hamburgers

A clunky UI - which is far, far too common on open source applications

So, what are you going to do about it ? Contribute ? Learn the ins and outs of gimp, and propose some UI changes ? And if you don’t have time to do that, who does / who cares enough for that ? People who code stuff like GIMP generally don’t really care for UI, or have the time. They’re volunteers, passionate people. Not designers.

That’s also a broad generlization. Firefox has bad UI/UX ? (Sometimes yeah on some niche things but I wholeheartedly believe google is at fault somehow) What about Krita ? Blender has been doing UI work last I heard of it, so that’s also that. Paint.net was also open source. Chromium has bad UI ? Android ? Vs Code ? GNOME ? KDE ? Element ? Jitsi ? Signal ? Wordpress ?

Yeah, gimp sucks. And the type of people who are “linux elitists”, that tell you you suck for not enjoying bad UI, also suck. But why not make a meaningful change to the world ? Try to hope for a world where GIMP is actually usable ?

You are litterally defending nazis in another thread. Never seen people take offense with what you’re quoting except your kind of people.
