Gnome 3 is pretty great

Whatever happened to dailymotion?

Rancher got a lot better very quickly, but I've never used podman and have heard mixed things about it... Might give it a whirl at some point, but I've been saying that to myself for years

Dunno if it's decent but I've been hosting one service on quay.io since about 2017 and other than that time redhat changed the login system and I had to fart about for a few mins,, I've never had any issues... Tbh though I probably only update that image about twice a year so I'm not exactly power-user-ing it

Everyone always dunkin' on Perl, but I can't even tell you how often it's been the best tool for the job. Like, at least 3

If you can, just use Perl. Probably installed on your systems, even the ones without python.

Software is really hard. Replacing something that needs to continuously have new features added to it because it's not been replaced yet... You're running to stand still

There are two difficult problems in computer science. Naming things, and pairing with Bluetooth speakers.

Third degree embarrassment right here

I think the actual problem is that they won't know when they've got something that compiles but is wrong... I dunno though. I've never seen someone doing this and I can only speculate tbh. I only ever asked ChatGPT a couple of times, as a joke to myself when I got stuck, and it spouted completely useless nonsense both times... Although on one occasion the wrong code it produced looked like it had the pattern of a good idiom behind it and I stole that.

No arguments from me that it's better if people are just better at their job, and I like to think I'm good at mine too, but let's be real - a lot of people are out of their depth and I can imagine it can help there. OTOH is it worth the investment in time (from people who could themselves presumably be doing astonishing things) and carbon energy? Probably not. I appreciate that the tech exists and it needs to, but shoehorning it in everywhere is clearly bollocks. I just don't know yet how people will find it useful and I guess not everyone gets that spending an hour learning to do something that takes 10s when you know how is often better than spending 5 mins making someone or something else do it for you... And TBF to them, they might be right if they only ever do the thing twice.

I have no idea why the engagement with this was down votes. So your friend thinks having an LLM to answer questions will help to learn Linux? I imagine he's probably right.
