That’s on you 😅

I may sound like an asshole, but before Linux Mint, I would seriously think to go with Debian with KDE. I don’t see any downsides, and there are many upsides.

The Franchise!! HBOmax.

Also there is no casino algorithm showing you what big data knows will make you stay for a while.

In TikTok or instagram reels, you don’t follow people you like. You just watch stuff happening.

I wish I could have that. I loved it soooo much it’s stuck in my mind. Might be because of the podcast about the show that made me recall everything.

I’ll rewatch it anyways before S02.

I thought conventionalcommits.org was very well known.

I made my company use it and now it’s so much easier to navigate git history. We also get automatic, humanly readable changelogs for free.

That’s an actual great point, noted.

Turns out that is your experience, and it cannot be extrapolated to the rest of the world.

In fact, my experience is actually opposite. Everytime I go back to Windows to do some task… Wi-Fi has trouble finding my access point, and when it finally connects (sometimes after having to reboot) the connection is simply not as strong. Oh, and some bullsh*t software got reinstalled and it even set itself up as launching-at-start-up, after I had to almost hack the OS to allow me to do that.

So, do I extrapolate to the rest of the world?

They won’t. They’ll just substitute them. The idea is trying to force every company do the same thing, as making people work locally makes them more dependent on their local company and less likely to jump to a better job.

Then you can lower salaries (not rise them) and destroy benefits. Also you can enforce dress codes to make it look like a dictatorship country like North Korea.

Is that American hand writing? It reminds me so much of James Hetfield’s, and basically no one writes like that in my country.

AI doesn’t do feelings

How can I have a serious conversation with these annoying answers? Come on, you know what I am talking about. Even an AI chatbot would know what I mean.

Any AI chatbot, even “general purpose” ones will read your code and will return a description of what it does if you ask it.

And particularly AI would be great at catching “useless”, “weird” or unexplainable code in a repository. Maybe not with the current levels of context. But that’s what I want to know, if these tools (or anything similar) exist yet.

Thank you.

Of course, 100% reliability is impossible even with human reviewers. I just want a tool that gives me at least something, cause I don’t have the time or knowledge to review a full repo before executing it on my machine.

I just want a report that says “we detected in line 27 or file X, a particular behavior that feels weird as it tries to upload your environment variables into some unexpected URL”.

I don’t care if the solution is AI based or not, indeed.

I guess I thought it like that because AI is quite fit for the task of understanding what might be the purpose of code in a few seconds/minutes without you having to review it. I don’t know how some non-AI tool could be better for such task.

Edit: so many people against the idea. Have you guys used GitHub Copilot? It understands the context of your repo to help you write the next thing… Right? Well, what if you apply the same idea to simply review for malicious/unexpected behaviour on third party repos? Doesn’t seem too weird for me.

Yes, couldn’t be easier.

We are talking about one single notification per year that serves as a notification for the hundreds of KDE programs that you normally install on a Plasma desktop.

So, yeah, it’s pretty fair. And it’s free software, so you can fork it and delete those lines of code anyway. It’s KDE so they’ll probably even let you disable it at some point in the settings.

Damn why no one told me about this??

Not really, most of the AUR points to the official source. And in this particular case, the actual Proton team was actually managing the AUR package.

Aint the official one

Will check that out
