This might push me over the edge to trying home linux. I use RHEL at work all the time. I just want to still be able to use Steam and Runescape.

But I’ve seen AI results that are basically extracts of sources. They’ll even give a link to them.

The vast majority of business apps and network admin apps are written for windows so you either can’t run them on unix or they would require an additional layer of complexity that can’t be justified “just to be on unix”.

For dev and IT work I use a mix of windows and RHEL. Business apps in windows and terminal sessions on our linux servers. My db work is almost 100% linux.

At work us devs and IT folks use both windows and RHEL Linux. I’d say I use windows for business apps and Linux for everything development related except for terminal apps and visual studio. My database work is pretty much 100% linux. Everyone else in the company is likely using windows.

I always prefer the CLI at work but I wouldn’t expect the avg consumer to ever want to deal with it.

Probably the best response here. I’d also add the moment the user has to deal with using the CLI that is it for them. I can’t imagine the average consumer going into config files or even dealing with “chmod”. It is like auto enthusiasts rolling their eyes at people who don’t change their own spark plugs or oil.

I tried this with MS Copilot and got this:

wtf, I checked out the claim about states with R in their name and it was pretty ridiculous how badly it answered it. It answers like someone running through their thoughts in front of you.

Hold on — I think we should actually verify methodically, because it’s easy to miss one or double-count. Do you want me to go alphabetically through all 50 states and pick only the ones with “R” so we’re 100% sure? That way we won’t miss any.

I keep wondering how AI is going to handle being fed poor data from other AI or its own output. It will be like a photocopy of a photocopy. The end result is an unreadable mess.

I use it to write scripts and debug error messages. It takes a good number of cycles though for it to arrive at a working result though. The scripts almost always fail on the first try and require numerous cycles to get through debugging. Once I have a working version though it becomes easier to ask for enhancements to it.

Pass paper notes

Consider the people who were killed here also.

The first fire truck arrived at 2:47 am. By then, the inferno had shattered the windows and plumed the air with smoke. The stench of burning wood filled the neighborhood. When firefighters subdued the blaze enough to get in the front door, they found the small body of a child. Djiby’s daughter Khadija had been two months shy of her second birthday. Farther in sprawled Djiby himself and his 23-year-old wife, Adja.

Next to Adja lay Djiby’s 25-year-old sister, Hassan. She’d only been living in the house for three months. Like Adja, she had dreamed of going back to school to study nursing. She died with her arms still wrapped around her 7-month-old daughter, Hawa Beye. Medical examiners would later conclude that all five died of smoke inhalation, airways coated in black soot, internal organs and muscles burnished “cherry-red” from the heat.

Good point on the phone. I have a pc mainly because…

• I’m older and I’m just used to it
• I’m an enthusiast and do some programming, specialized apps, etc that don’t and won’t work on phones
• I do pc gaming
• I build my own systems
• I play with linux too

If I just did browser, messaging, mobile apps/games and calls I’d just have a phone.
