The Linux community isn’t like most groups. There is a great deal more tech knowledge they have in common compared to other communities. They like genAI, but they are absolutely aware of the abuses possible with a model that learns by watching you work.

The windows community isn’t like that generally, though there are certainly those there who sound the alarm. They tend to be the people who need MS office or a legacy app for work, or some kids playing a video game. They have no idea how shit works. They only know “it came with windows so everything I use must be windows.” Most windows users are what people think Mac users are anymore. It’s not particularly great at anything.

Copilot is a terrible idea for Microsoft from a publicity standpoint. But they are taking the risk because business majors learned two new letters and now it’s all anyone can talk about. I would like to see more non-x64 PCs out there but that they push the spyware in the marketing for the ARM devices as a blessing of some sort. that sketchy sentinel being built in gives me pause. Because it’s Microsoft, we know they don’t respect users and turn things on after updates that the user had already turned off all the time.

Didn’t Intel do this with 3D cross point or something like that? Then it failed and was repurposed to optane, which also flopped?

I’ve found it useful in providing scripts for me that I can use as templates. You still have to fix a lot of stuff as it makes crazy assumptions and hallucinates a lot but it’s useful.

Probably but there is literally zero reason to do it. There is no overlap between people who use Linux and people who want copilot.

Ahh I see. For the record, I like Linux.

I go back and forth. I don’t remember what I said here.

You are assuming it's an enemy I was referring to. Trump is really hurting our allies and they are in a dangerous place right now because of him. He's not stopping. He's making other countries vulnerable. the fastest fix for them is if he dies.

no I was making a joke that was apparently not well received here. Aside from rust in the kernel, I didn't think this was one of those sacred-cow communities.

Sorry I'm new to lemmy, is there a preferred service we use here?

This had nothing to do with this distro. Its the filesystem mount timing out during an filesystem format upgrade that tried to happen during the mount by systemd that did this.

ext4 doesnt do tiered storage. I could make an LVM and have it pool things into one storage volume but I wanted to learn this. bcachefs is simpler and cleaner, but it's still young and very volatile. Also, ext4 does have bugs still, even today.

This right here is exactly what he's up to.
