Actually…

Interesting that I’ve you tagged as troll lmao.

What other replies, almost all top comments are about arch being unreliable and the others are complaining about windows. The other replies support my claim bruh.

I have NVIDIA and I’ve had no issues with arch. There were the Wayland issues with how NVIDIA syncced frames and that being an issue but that’s not distro specific and arch had a fix faster than others via AUR sooo… 0 distro related issues in the 3 years already of using it.

It’s been years since I actually used Arch.

Yeah, as is everyone that makes memes about it. I wonder why no one that actively uses it memes about it hmm…

Maybe because shit don’t break anymore.

He and his brother created tons of online free science material that was used by several high schools apparently. I found him post all that, but it’s understandable that a lot of people have leeway with him, given that he was a big helper in so many places, and that he got cancer.

I mean, look how hostile Lemmy usually is and how tactful they are being with him, he definitely has built some reputation of being a good guy.

Yeah, that was my exact reaction honestly. If they aren’t offering the thing in Linux, maybe don’t demonize someone doing it for free? Whatever, apparently Linux Firefox doesn’t downsample audio so I can use the web player with bit perfect sound with some tinkering, so that’s nice. There’s even a tool to set the bitrate, I’m trying to build an appimage of the thing so anyone can run it to set their bitrates dynamically correctly.

That the app was spamming too many requests to their server apparently. It might be related to the new update they did. It might also be a fucking lie and them suspending the account because it did requests on the weekend where the service was down and it was retrying all the time. I don’t know. In any case, shame on them for making me promise not to use the only way on Linux to listen to their music on actually on HiFi.

I’ll have to install waydroid and do something hella over engineered to use their official tools.

Btw, QBZ was just a wrapper of the web player on a custom browser with HiFi enabled, they tried upgrading the tool recently to use API calls, but if this happened at that time I would have been able to defend it saying that it’s just a wrapper of the webpage. In any case, I’ll have to do something similar myself (electron browser with hifi enabled).

It’s also unofficial fyi. I used to use it but went to qobuz to go European. Sigh.

HiFi services are more like 16€ a month, ish, which is like 180 euros a year. 5 years and you already spent over 800 euros on nothing. My last skirmish with these services taught me to buy when I can and pirate the rest. Not like artists were earning anything relevant from my subscription anyway.

My account was suspended due to the new app changes working the QBZ client, and now they are making me promise to never use the QBZ Linux client, when they don’t even offer a Linux client. No, the web version isn’t valid because the reason I’m paying them is to listen to high quality music! Bunch of assholes.

1 month after I paid the year subscription. Assholes.

They are asking me to reboot the router, I guess because they want me to have a different IP, and what if I have other stuff in there and I don’t want to reboot the fucking thing? Bully assholes.

But we weren’t alone, I still could contact all my friends as usual via voice chat and game together. I saw people at the store, I say colleagues while working remotely in video chats (still do, WFH ftw).

I guess people not adapted to an online life felt isolated, but those were the same criticising my style of life so… Skill issue and get fucked.

Idk about the future, but we used to do like 10 math problems at the end of class, and they were supposed to be finished by tomorrow, where we would review them. It’s a day of margin only, we did have 10 mins to do most of them, and lazy people like me did them in recess right before class. The teacher didn’t check them 1 by 1, but if you were picked to present the problem in the review and you didn’t have it done, you were fucked.

For context, this is like 15 years ago already. Spain.

So french, Italian, Spanish, German, Lithuanian, and every other country I refuse to list (sorry if so left your out) don’t count?

I’m not taking that position, I’m taking the position of acknowledging how badly it is being used while also taking point on how useful for Devs it is. I was acknowledging the position I am in due to my life in coding work, to give proper context.

You are in an Australian server, I didn’t know that the American AI Dev erasure craze had expanded there, it definitely is affective the Spanish junior positions, but in my data engineering sector, senior positions are permanently lacking.

In any case, I’m sorry for your friends, but I’d be surprised if they don’t find another job fast. Job offers in my country for senior positions have not been reduced, and given that junior positions are being reduced and seniors eventually retire, I don’t see enough reduction to fill the vacuum that the lack of junior is going to create in senior fields.

Mind you, I’m not saying this to say I don’t care, it’s actually the opposite. I’m saying this to say that I care even though I don’t think it will affect me personally in a risk my paycheck kinda way.

1. You are right, I guess I was unnecessarily defending python too much.
2. Iirc with typescript was is the one that takes care of the transpilation step, so you can technically just code and the press deploy like with python or js. But yeah, you are right, this discussion is irrelevant to the topic of the post.

Agreed that the OG post doesn’t deserve anyone’s time, which is why I acknowledged that they successfully baited me lol. I think I did.

Have a great day! <3

I’m frustrated with the fact that AI is replacing a lot of junior positions, and with people that use it to fully automate tasks. It does not bode well for the future of the industry.

I’m not a junior dev though, and I use AI as a tool, which is what it is, to plan changes, search for potential issues while I check something else, then review their output and so on. The premise is that I do understand our code very well, and that I know exactly what must be done when proposing changes. It helps me autocomplete while I write, check hard to find docs or write/format doc pages. I always search for actual real sources before committing anything.

It’s a tool, it would be crazy to keep using a hatchet because chainsaws sometimes injure people. With proper training and knowledge a chainsaw helps you work faster.

Now, there was no LLM when I was a junior Dev so I acknowledge that my position is a bit of “f u I got mine”, but we can’t deny that it’s a very useful tool that helps in coding

Still completely against and very frustrated with the full automation and erasure of junior positions though. It won’t affect me that much personally, but the industry will hurt, individuals will suffer and that’s horrible.

Let me remind you there’s a world cup coming. People all over the world will go to the US, about a month after the cruise, right when the virus is apparently in incubation.

I’m not trying to be alarmist, but you know, better to keep track of events.

About 1, I was commenting on the serverless world, a big part of today’s cloud infrastructure, and AWS is one of the major cloud providers. I feel like, to show the relevance of a language compared to another, it kinda does matter that you can’t code directly and let the provider compile your small-ish program.

About 2, it works with the generic runtime for sure, but almost everything does, technically C++ does too lol, meaning that you need to upload the binary that you compile locally or via some sort of pipeline. Which is worse than say, using typescript and letting them transpiled it into is so Node can run it. It’s not supported in that way.

In any case, you wouldn’t really use a compiled language like Go to have small-ish serverless functions. Go does have a use case ofc, I’m just making a case of how not obsolete python is.

… Is this bait??? How in the hell is python an old language??? It gets new releases, it’s readable, it’s used everywhere for everything (sometimes when it shouldn’t but this is not the case tho). It has tools and binds for basically everything.

Also, comparing it with a compiled language, good one. Guess what is and what isn’t used in serverless functions, Lambda doesn’t even support Go ffs. It’s java, ruby, node and python. And from those most use node or python.

What the hell, good bait I guess. I’m coming back to write more lol.
