Yeah AI had nothing to do with it. Ruined waaay before AI took hold. That’s why I left.

The UI was becoming unusable, the policies were unreasonable, the greed got to them, etc, etc.

It has to be lobbying of some sort. Has to be.

Okay, thanks.

What’s about Tuta? Is that good enough as protection?

Pineapple pizza crew, right here everyone! 🙋‍♂️ Gather round!

It was the D: drive, maybe they have write permission on that drive.

But for real, why would the agent be given the ability to run system commands in the first place? That sounds like a gargantuan security risk.

I think the average user only cares about that if they have to do it again. Or to help a friend perhaps. But then the answer would be “use nix” and that’s not super helpful if you’re offering support. 😆

I’ve had to go back to investigate certain things when installing a new system but it’s all in the Arch wiki for me, and sometimes there’s even newer and better ways of doing stuff after a while so just keeping my system set once and for all might not be what I really want anyway.

Change is life. 😌

Something that actually activates the brain again, for example.

I like gofile.io. 🤷‍♂️ Not self-hosted but hey.

No no, there isn’t “no benefit”. There’s just very little gain, compared to the effort. The average Linux user definitely will not care about reproducibility. 😅 So the effort required to either add Nix stuff to an existing distro or install NixOS itself will just be wasted effort for most people, I imagine. Myself included.

As a power user, I’m still not interested. Chezmoi serves me more than well to sync between my work laptop and my main desktop PC, because I’m running Arch on both systems and I still haven’t had the need to reproduce a system in over a decade with Arch. 🥰 So stable.

But yeah if you reinstall frequently or manage a lot of machines daily then it might be worth looking into. 👌

I understood the exaggeration part, just not the specifics 😁 Alright, cool

What kind of “hardcore shit” are you planning to do with your computer? 😅

I didn’t need to learn a programming language to install Arch btw. I’d definitely agree Nix is an unnecessary complication for very little gain for the average user.

Maybe they didn’t need to worry about competition because they tested so vigorously. 🤷‍♂️

Good old Flash of Unstyled Content.

Actually one of the cleaner ones I’ve seen, ngl.

Especially when that extra step is something that doesn’t make sense in their mental model of what a service is or how it works. Like, I want an account. I go to site. Sign up, right? Nope, you have to select where to sign up. What? It’s a huge hurdle.

I’m not tipping. I refuse to adopt that culture as well. I’ll literally die on that hill. Workers deserve a wage, not to depend on people’s good graces like beggars wiping car windows.
