I know this is a joke, but putting everything on ramdisk wouldn’t actually stop many different issues. There are hardware level infections these days.

Not a fan of it being forced upon anyone but I'll add lately that I've been using it to spit out Python scripts and ansible playbooks to stunning efficiency that makes my life much easier.
I tried Bard last year and it sucked, maybe Gemini is better now. I could see myself paying for one of these eventually, given how much more free time I have with the kids (or at the bar!).
Try phind.com, it's got an insanely advanced model trained on a ton of their own proprietary code, and free too (or paid with more features and more prompts per day, etc.)
I just tried it out on a couple of random questions (one on docker, the other on proxmox networking) and it looks very promising. I didn't even have to login, it showed the sources, it gave step by step instructions, and suggested follow up questions that were helpful. Thanks for sharing!

It's just an Edge web view. You can get the same results by just navigating to its web site. Doesn't need to slow down boot time every time for that.
What I need on Lemmy is more articles about how Windows bad, if I already haven't know that...
