He definitely spearheaded this comment thread.
Thank you! What I like to do is ask meta-questions.
I haven't tried that, but my guess is generally no based on other things I've tried chatGPT for and things I've read. It would probably have some lucky hits and those would seem like magic, but it would mostly produce correct-sounding answers that don't fix the problems.
Are we doing "good human" here or are we eschewing that as a "reddit thing"?
Imagine making a typo and it continually being shared and highlighted for over 30 years.
Kinda makes me glad I'll never be famous for anything.
I use Ubuntu on my desktop and when I had an NVIDIA video card I did have fairly frequent issues when the proprietary drivers would update and then not play nice with something. That card died and I replaced it with an AMD video card and I don't think I've had a "dive into the annals of gnu/Linux architecture" session since.
I also had some bad RAM at one point and spent a couple of hours trying in vain to boot into either Linux or Windows.
I do think it's fair to say that there are some things that Windows handles a little more gracefully, but the situation is not nearly as bad as it used to be / people still tend to think it is.
I also have a Windows laptop, and from time to time I'll have an issue that I'm trying to fix and I'll end up on the Microsoft forum where someone asked my question and the answers are either answers to questions that weren't asked or a set of steps that must have been based on a different build of Windows or something because there's no way to follow them on my installation of Windows 11. So maybe that's not hostile like the old school Linux forums, but it's still unhelpful.
I think both are fine, both have their pros and cons, and those pros and cons aren't as different as people make them out to be.
I really enjoyed the colorful way that you expressed "more than once".
"But family is so important!" You go talk to them then, or go fuck yourself, IDC.
There have been many instances when I've told someone how crazy people in my family are, and then even if they believed me, after they met them they're like "OMG I had no idea it was that bad."
You have to know that there are some extremely shitty people in the world. Sometimes, those people are someone's family.
So long as you're not breaking any laws
In the US, basically anything you are not authorized to do on someone else's computer is illegal and can be prosecuted under the CFAA.
I point this out only to highlight that it's a terrible law that needs to be changed, I'm not disagreeing with anything that your said.
How is it faster?
