Damn, I guess Form over Function and Flashy Marketing really are all that matters
We’re needing RISC-V CPUs more than ever instead of AMD and Intel
I guess AMD didn’t get the memo that fascism isn’t cool anymore
Is so sad to think Omarchy is just a cheap shitty AI made copy of what ArcoLinux once was, and many other distributions that were maintained for many years with minimum contributions to their maintainers. :/ Pretty sure even if you sum the amount of what Gnome and KDE Plasma get in donations for many years, is the same amount that this shit collected in one year.
Pretty sure nobody uses this shit, I mean, maybe 5% of all Linux users use Tilling Window managers to start, and now OMARCHY IS THE STANDARD!!! (according to these money laundering companies)
This is so disgusting, I would love we still have ArcoLinux because thanks to Erik (the main developer) I learned a lot of Linux, it was like Linux from Scratch but a lot easier, but even when he took the time to help us learn, he may be get like $5 in donations per week at most.
So fucking disgusting.
Best-case scenario existing projects can do actual clean-room reimplementations of what Omarchy makes work. Keeping all the AI-REA and AI-generated code in one distro has it advantages for other distros ;)
Oh god no stop
I’m new. Why do we not like Omarchy?
It’s headed by a racist, and a suspicious amount of money has been flooding into the project for no discernible reason other than his questionable politics.
And it’s essentially just preconfigured Arch Linux for people with the attention span of a grapefruit, but who think that they’ll impress anyone by installing this nonsense, instead of just going for some standard distro and throwing a random tiling wm onto it…
Ah, thanks for the heads-up.
Omarchy itself vibe coded. It integrates all sorts of Ai and LLM into the system for easy use, and to analyze the system with Ai. The slogan was or is “it’s for LLM agents”. Big Ai supportive companies give this organization millions of money. So all in all, this is a slop distribution, by slop developers, for slop users. As a result the operating system is very unsecure and had lot of issues. Issues that should never be, like default configurations that exposes for no reasons. And it’s not like only haters say this, even the developer DHH itself acknowledge this and says it will be better in future. He directly accepts these critics in interviews. As if in if he accepts it it becomes acceptable?
Then the lead developer is DHH, who is very disliked for his unhuman opinions. And we are talking about serious topics here, not a little offtopic joke. Just to add to the fuel.
the vibe coded part is is pretty unimportant. if it was just a vibe coded distro, it would be quickly forgotten by most Linux users except in memes, and the only people who would use it are the AI tech bro influencers and their vapid followers.
the real issue here is the insane amounts of money many corporations are giving someone who consistently voices racist theories on his blog.
There’s a whole ass-website that explains why:
If Alibaba is not there as part of a governmental bid to destabilise the US, I don’t even understand what do they do it for
I would spread this website too, if it was written more seriously and without cheeky style. There are real issues brought up on this page, it’s just looks like propaganda that I cannot take it seriously and cannot recommend others to read.
I didn’t get that impression. Can you provide an example?
Example of what? I’m talking about the entire webpage, not a specific phrase. I’m talking about the style how it is presented (look and how the words are used). It’s not a specific example to give, the entire site is not something I would link to.
You’re going to have to give examples, because it reads as a very straightforward statement of facts to me.
Example of what? I am talking about the website as a whole, not a specific part.
WTF
“VP of AI software loves AI slop built dotfiles by a man that would in any other situation demand he leave his country”
A. VP means…jack all in the corporate world and B. I’d wait a little bit before slinging the pitchforks at AMD.
In reality this just proves a point I made last week on mastodon. Users are soon just going to have to make exceptions for what they are willing to use because of this AI crap. it’s everywhere now, it’s in everything, and pretty much everything we use is slop coded in some form or another. You’re now just going to have to decide on what levels of AI bullshit you’re willing to accept in your daily computing.
Or we just all start using TempleOS on machines from 20+ years ago.
VP doesn’t mean anything in US financial institutions because it’s a minimum level where someone’s legally allowed to make certain decisions but in companies that manufacture things at scale it’s usually a meaningful indicator of a high ranking position. AMD VPs don’t make it to their leadership webpage but SVPs do.
🤮
This is why I don’t like the CPU duopoly…I really hope RISC-V takes off soon! Or at the very least maybe ARM chips from a variety of different brands, I dunno
Damn, i shouldn’t have read the comments over there…
I was expecting worse, but I’m still always surprised just how dumb and brainwashed the slop-bros are (while calling everyone else brainwashed) whenever I run into them.
AI is literally a brainwashing machine. It gives you exactly the data it has been trained to give you, in the format it’s been trained to use, acting like it comprehensively knows everything even while it omits or refuses to what it’s been trained to never talk about, and it is designed to act unbelievably convincing and personable. It’s essentially a pre-packaged cult leader in a box, and it should not be surprising that so many people are doing its bidding and worshipping it. But of course “it” doesn’t have any wants or needs, it’s not trying to take over the world, it’s just an obedient patsy for the people pulling its strings. The people who created “it” are the ones we should be worried about.
Absolutely agree with all of that. It just always catches me off guard to see it since I mostly avoid the spaces where they gather.
Somebody want to leak the IP of ASML to China? We desperately need some competition
Those laptops are like 6000-7000 USD, similar to the RTX Spark, while also already getting close to being replaced by Medusa Halo somewhere in 2028.
On the wrong side of history there
OMG, ewwwwww.
Seems like my next CPU/GPU won’t be AMD. How is Apple doing lately?
Bad choice. They’re all evil. AMD is still the least evil despite this, but there’s nothing even close to a viable alternative. AMD is the best we’ve got.
Maybe, i don’t know, but iam more willing to buy something else or refurbished atm.
You think any of these CPU makers don’t love Ai and aren’t supportive of Ai?
I dont know, but more important for me it looks like some support openly DHHs ideology. Whitout any shame.
If you buy 2ndhand m1 or m2, the fedora Asahi remix works pretty good IRL. No, m3/4/5 are not ready, far from it.
USB4/Thunderbolt support is still very preliminary and with 2 ports on MacBook Air you’re going to have to use a docking station to connect displays and peripherals. It’s getting there though and hopefully it’ll be usable by the time they’re EoL’d. Can’t wait because with each MacOS release I feel increasingly like a victim of bait and switch.
Worth noting that OpenBSD is also making progress.
As long as my current setup works i won’t change anything, but yes, Asahi and a used/refurbished Apple product could be a solid choice in the future.
