I totally agree that putting AI into everything is pretty dumb and capitalistic. Microsoft Copilot is nothing but Cortana but noisier (and invasive).

But in the area of programming LLMs are actually revolutionising the entire workflow.

Yup that’s 100% what it says

very sorry to hear that

I agree that Microsoft Copilot is worthless as shit.

Yeah. So you don’t have to lose jobs.

I feel a lot of people in this thread (or maybe the entire lemmy community) are forced to use AI crap that corpos like Microsoft and Mozilla are trying to incorporate into their software.

So you think AI by itself is competent enough to steal work from people?

I mean, hell no. AI doesn’t steal jobs. AI operators do. Do you think those random person who has absolutely no idea about programming and whatsoever can steal work off programmers?

Yeah maybe. If you don’t want to see them just block them. Easy. Complaining about the frontpage here never change anything.

Keep in mind that Wine Is Not an Emulator. It implements many windows features but it’s incomplete. Be sure to check if whatever the professional software you’re using also works on Wine.

Or you could run Windows in an actual emulator (like Qemu). I remember it worked pretty well on 16GB of RAM. Also you may want to check out Winboat

Sorry for that. Piped could work, maybe

Probably this?

I bought an old Pixel 7a with (new) case for less than $179 USD and put Graphene OS on it. Definitely cheaper than buying youself a new iPhone, and installation is easy af.

You know what’s better than downloading Postman? Not downloading Postman.

Still better than completely proprietary OS that lets you use AI assistant you didn’t ask for

I mean, this can happen to the future of Linux

Oops, completely forgot about it

I don’t think ChromeOS is going to win though

Redhat is opensource, it’s just not free to use

Rocky and Fedora are based off it ig

And soon there would be a corpo that will make a closed source commercial OS based on Linux and people will somehow use their crap.
