    Arch is so fast

  • I think it mostly refers to a fresh install, which is fairly slim I guess (though not THAT slim either). The package (non-)granularity is still just absurd sometimes.

  • Honestly, I've been using Arch for about 10 years now, and I've never met an actual Arch elitist in real life (I guess we don't get out of the basement that much). The only people I've met who would show that attitude were usually either Ubuntu/Mint fanboys or GNU hardliners. Live and let live?

  • This is a preprint published on arXiv.org, which is as reputable as it gets before peer review (so no red flag but standard practice). But I agree that people shouldn't place hopes in this before it's been peer reviewed and replicated by independent researchers.

  • I think the question was "what's the purpose of posting this on Lemmy?" (not arXiv) because that does nothing for peer review but a lot for stirring laypeople's wild imagination.

  • In my experience, these YouTube channels buy that simplicity in exchange for leaving out many (important) details. Sure, college professors aren't all didactic geniuses, but making things accurate usually requires to also make it more complicated.

  • This may be a stupid question, but how does an app being on Play Store and not F-Droid make it no longer FOSS?

  • I, too, would like the winter winds to teach me about Rust.

  • Is it really a mass exodus? And is it really a mass exodus to lemmy?

    Jump

  • No and no, it's just hype IMO. But the trickle of new users seems sufficient to make Lemmy a more interesting place to be and a more viable platform long term. That's already quite good if you ask me.

  • I feel like Windows 7 fills the sweet spot between the seemless UI of the 2000/XP era and newer versions. Windows 10/11 could top that list if Microsoft had bothered to create a proper UI instead of just slapping some material design on a handful of apps, while everything else is still basically 2000/XP. Then again, GTK2/3/4 can be almost as bad.

  • Despite the fact that Lemmy is a fairly new piece of software, which makes these issues more likely, I am really grateful for it being open source, and I really appreciate this level of transparency.
