What’s cool is they intentionally ignore the fact that in each instance someone told the LLM to do this.

Then you should check again

I assume this is largely based off of downloads instead of in-program telemetry

Maybe I should rtfa.

It’s based off API update checks. Not telemetry or downloads. It makes sense tho, more windows machines means more windows downloads.

And much like a lot of these things, it’ll work about 1/2 the time and further blow up in the corporations face while they insult all potential hires.

US are probably the most violent in the western world, but UK cops are 100% the dumbest.

Stalker didn’t even ask for it. Cops are just incompetent and didn’t do the most basic shit, handing the stalker testimony copies with victims addr and phone number

I… Had no idea it worked this way but it makes so much sense. This actually explains so much about an issue I’ve been having

I think we agree on this, but maybe I’m saying it in a way that seems counter to what I’m thinking. My point is Linux adoption only matters in terms of desktop because it’s the only time that the OS is actually important. 99% of people don’t care what kind of motor or brushes their Roomba has. They care it cleans the floor good. They don’t care it runs Linux. They care it’s smart enough not to crash into walls 24/7. But people do care what OS they directly interact with because it is the thing they’re directly interfacing with.

I think the person who did this study is intentionally trying to rage bait.

Making this 3 projects instead of 1 is both a good way to eliminate scope creep and a bad way to commit to maintaining the project past its initial push. If it survives past the first few months then I’ll give it a shot but far too many of these die a still birth so to speak.

Do things you have no concept of matter to you typically? How can something matter to you if you have never spared a single thought for it before?

If you hate commands so much why didn’t you just alias them? Instead you’ve replaced them all with your own esoteric versions. That’s fine, if it works better for you then by all means. But it’s certainly not easier or better than any of the other conventions we have.

Oh for sure the 10% and 57% are insane.

But not really no. Most non tech people barely realize the cloud is someone else’s computer, nevermind thinking about what software that computer runs. Same thing with webservers. Phones are further obscured cause it’s not expressed as Linux.

Oh good, more ai slop

I feel like when this pops up everyone freaks out and yells about how it’s proof the aur sucks and arch is doomed. Do you people randomly install GitHub repos without any due diligence? Do you click on random ads to download bake bean can cursors? There’s malware fuckin everywhere. Just do your due diligence and don’t get screwed. And if you do get malware, have a plan to make it irrelevant. Anyone who doesn’t do these things should in no way be using the AUR.

Right but if we’re being honest, desktop OS are really the only one that matters. Most non tech people don’t care or know that they own 12 different stripped down Linux boxes because those boxes are tvs or roombas or whatever.

Ubuntu has (imo) always been incredibly difficult dogshit for no reason. The fact it used to be the defacto Linux recommend is probably one of the reasons adoption was so slow

Just switched my wife to EndevourOS because she wanted to ditch windows and it’s what I daily drive. Maybe should have done cachy but I didn’t think about it and didn’t want to put her on something I also don’t have direct experience with.

As much as I think this behaviour is fucked up, once they buy the books it’s legally property of the company. And it can be destroyed without consequence since it’s legally property of the company.

And some of them say “do not eat”
