Are you crazy? An exe could corrupt the registry, delete system32, format C:, or delete the MBR! They're dangerous!

As soon as I read "my wife" instead of "she", I assumed the wife would be someone else, and there would be an accident with the ex

I'm torn between "keep our girl's name out your fucking mouth" and "hell yeah, badass, long live the queen". Leaning toward the former tbh

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the "quality control" is what I had heard about.

Generally I agree. It feels kind of shoehorned in when desktop is your goal, like more of an afterthought or side effect of the overall focus.

The main thing I hang on to is the code-specified configuration. I never got into managing dotfiles with arch, but that could be a better solution for many people. Especially along with btrfs, numerous containerization options, and whatnot.

I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

You definitely won't want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

Regarding package availability, it's just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

It has been an annoyance for me, but I've also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you're bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there's a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

You don't have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you're looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you're interested.

He can't ult again for a while, so it's safe for now.

You nearly killed me with a damn meme. I can't breathe lmao, jesits take the wheel

I wouldn't say "the cloud" is exactly in the same realm. It's broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it's a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

I think I'm talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren't the only things with money behind them.

My stupid brain always associates the name Thirteen Ghosts with Venom (2005) and I only realized why just now, when I looked up the latter:

Summary: A group of teenagers fear for their lives in the swamps of Louisiana, chased by Mr. Jangles, a man possessed by 13 evil souls, and now relentless in his pursuit of new victims.

I only saw Venom once when I was way too young and it has its own neural pathway.

Bonus: I found Venom by searching "horror movie truck snake demon" because that's the imagery that automatically pops into my head alongside Thirteen Ghosts. It's the first result.

We could be living in utopia, but those damn youths had to go and break stuff

I'm still on bemenu since I used dmenu with dwm on X. I should probably check the others out.
