It’s dependant on being able to run everything anyone could possibly need. “I don’t use it, therfore it is not essential” is the kind of approach that’s always made it niche.

Of course Adobe is still missing.

Bloated electron apps are what makes Linux on desktop viable today at all, but you guys aren’t ready for that conversation.

Stamp collecting for criminals

Oh yeah? Well this says otherwise.

Vim users: “I feel bad for you”

Nano users: “I don’t think about you at all”

You can update linux without having to reboot for the most part, windows reboots literally twice for every tiny patch.

It’s really funny when you have grub configured with linux as the default. Then when you select windows it’s 50% chance it’ll update something and reboot, booting you back to linux lmao. I guess they don’t really want me to use it.

If wget2 is so good, why is there no wget3?

LibreOffice has been updated? Interface still looks like it was designed for Windows 95.

I’m more of a wget kinda guy myself.

I think if we’re looking at it conceptually, it has to be something that is too complex to do with traditional heuristics reliably and also doesn’t allow us to generate enough data for good DL results.

There’s also liability to consider, for cases like airplanes and trains. Trains are dead simple to automate, but there needs to be someone there for long tail events, to make people feel safer, and as a fall guy in case of accidents. So in practice it’s impossible to automate beyond subways where you control the entire environment despite the tech being fully capable of it. Same goes for airliners, they practically fly themselves but you need two people there anyway just in case.

Reliability. We can do pretty much anything… with a 5% success rate. Deep learning can take any input, approximate any function and generate the required output, but it’s only as good as the training set and most of them suck. Or it needs to be so large and complex that it’s not fast enough.

In a fascistic enough world where this would matter, people who abstain from the system are automatically flagged to be shot too, just fyi. You gotta also fill the normie services with conformist content to not become a detected anomaly if you really want to do it properly.
