    Do you get paid by the Systemd Hate Club™ for your efforts? Are you full-time, or just a freelance clown?

  • Why bother? It's not like there's a shortage of login managers out there.

  • YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

    Jump

  • But when it comes to youtube, I get most of my scientific education there, all of the developments in astrophysics and sciences are there. I think I’d go bonkers without it,

    It's hard to tell on the internet; is this sarcasm?

    1. Why the fuck are you posting YouTube comments?
    2. Why the fuck are you using Brave?

    Stop using the YouTube app/website, get an alt frontend like FreeTube, Grayjay, Revanced, etc. Not only do they remove ads and make it impossible for Google to track you, they have better UX than the official apps.

  • I tried AI, was impressed by it, and it's embarrassing; Need advice

    Jump

  • Feeling embarrassed is a weird reaction. If it actually helps you in your job, there's nothing wrong with that. Get that money. Whether you like programming enough to actually get good at it is a personal choice. I'm someone who has been extremely passionate about it my whole life, and when I was younger, I had a much lower opinion of people who only did it for a paycheck (the "9 to 5 people" who didn't know the difference between Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows until they took computer science in college). These days, I couldn't care less. The tech industry stopped being a meritocracy long ago. This recent wave of AI slop is just the boot stomping on the population of people who exist within one standard deviation from the average.

    But as you're sitting around scratching your balls while the agents generate your code for you, take the time to think about this bit of doomer outlook:

    The "vibe coding" thing is a fad that won't last. The only reason it exists now is because the current state of LLMs isn't good enough to do everything on its own. These agents currently need a human in the loop to babysit them when they fuck up, as you've no doubt noticed. They're also highly subsidized because the AI companies want to collect data in order to train them and make them better. If/when they're truly able to build a product on their own from prompt to ops, then the price hikes and layoffs will come. Maybe they won't even raise prices, maybe some billionaires will take the company private and only give access to their friends, family, and the young white christian men they're using as blood donors in their longevity experiments...

  • git on code.qt.io slow?

    Jump

  • Not everyone has GitHub's infrastructure. You can try doing a shallow clone to avoid pulling the full history, as QTs is probably huge, then you can pull the full history ("unshallow" it) overnight.

  • Are there any examples of 'perfect' software?

  • Linux 7.0 Merges Support For Rock Band 4 PS4 / PS5 Guitars Plus More Laptop Quirks

    Jump

  • Because Rock Band represents a major milestone in Linux kernel development. Why do you think Linus had been building guitar pedals in his free time?

  • What to do if i want to make games oneday, but im unsure where to start?

    Jump

  • I cant code, i cant draw/3d art, i cant make music, im bad with ideas, etc.

    So you have nothing to contribute. Why do you even want to make games then? What's the part of it that inspires you? For me, it's programming. For others, it's art, design, music, etc. If you have no interest in any of that, then gamedev is a terrible career move.

  • You can code only 4 hours per day. Here’s why.

    Jump

  • Idk, I definitely have days where I'm highly productive for more than 4 hours, but I also have days where I work even longer and accomplish nothing. I don't think a number like that is particularly useful for anything, and only good for micromanagers who need to feel like they can hyper-optimize every single thing.

    Interruptions definitely fuck me up though, without fail. Maybe it's the type of work I tend to do, which generally requires me to keep a lot of context in mind. An analogy I've heard that I think works well: It's like fixing a car, but you have to disassemble the entire dashboard and steering column just to reach the part you need to work on. As you're doing that, someone asks you pick them up so now you have to reassemble everything to be able to drive the car to pick them up, and then disassemble it all again just to get back to work.

  • Amazon's Ring cancels Flock partnership amid Super Bowl ad backlash

    Jump

  • I'm more curious to see if they're working with Palantir than Flock. There's already a lot of push back against Flock, and some places actively working to ban it. Palantir isn't in the spotlight as much, and without a doubt much worse.

  • This is why nix is doomed to be a toy forever, because its user base consists of unhinged cheerleaders. Please do the following:

    1. Breathe in
    2. Count to 6
    3. Breathe out
    4. Count to 6
    5. Repeat until you stop seeing red

    Now, re-read the linked blog post and my comments, and try to understand the problem.

  • Mitchell Hashimoto Launches 'Vouch' to Fight AI Slop in Open Source Ecosystem

    Jump

  • On the one hand, I like that it's focused on the broader concept of trust instead of trying to be some kind of AI slop detector. Focusing specifically on AI invites obnoxious debates from the braindead AI bros, so this might make it easier to get adopted by avoiding politics altogether.

    ... But on the other hand, I could see this going horribly wrong and being abused to bully people. If it becomes common practice to inherit a vouch list from OSS projects, then upstream maintainers essentially become Reddit moderators; Omnipotent grease lords with the power to make anyone's life hell with a single commit.

  • Well, you're clearly very passionate about nix, but all you've shown is how to install git in an isolated shell, which again isn't what I was asking.

    I don't have anything against nix, but it doesn't seem like the right solution to the particular problem that was presented.

  • "your website doesn't work without javascript"

    Jump

  • If your website doesn't work without javascript, then it will be permanently broken for me and many others who disable it by default for very valid reasons. The

    <noscript>

    has been part of the web since at least forever, so if your website doesn't support that, it's because your web developer isn't very good.

  • I guess you misunderstood my question, because that won't work. nix-shell -p git doesn't provide an isolated operating system. They only isolate programs and libraries. If your native git installation modified something in your home folder, those changes will still be visible inside a nix shell.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish in those other commands, as they just seem to print out git's dependencies?

    Also, I see you're actively editing your comment as I'm typing so sorry if you actually post the answer after I hit Reply.

  • The solution to the problem is to install git into a clean system so you can observe what changes it makes.

    How would you do this with Nix?
