Windows uses AI to determine what’s best for you. GNOME just decides it generally in advance.

What if Windows decided to update after you finished checking the equipment? I mean, they do use AI to determine the worst time for an update…

For extra irony, sell him an NFT to the source code.

I think the problem with OOP is something you can see whenever legislation is linked with prestige (it happens a lot in real life). The number of good possible rules is quite limited, and the number of people who want to make a name for themselves by championing them seems to be infinite. If you can’t find a good rule to claim as your own, you have to pick a bad rule and try to gaslight people into thinking it’s a necessary and beneficial. Enough people do that, and we end up with modern OOP.

Which one should have taken the other to kourt?

That’s nice. I’ve later googled it and found out that I could have added 3 to the end of the grub command to make it boot in runlevel 3 which does not trigger the GUI, but I guess your way could also bypass boot issues that prevent even non-gui boot.

I also see that there is runlevel 1, which is kind of an emergency mode, so maybe that would be the best thing to use?

As long as I can get into the terminal I can fix the GUI. What really sucks is when it something that runs in the DM init sequence was using Python but a Python upgrade changed the import path and no it keeps restarting and I need to boot from a USB to disable that service so I can log into something and properly fix it.

Insulting without using swear words requires more skill.

I wish Lemmy showed you more of the context than just the last reply.

You can keep pressing on “Show context” to load more replies, up until the top level one.

What do you mean by “CTA”? How don’t see how “Call to Action” is relevant in this context, seeing how it’s more of a UX design concern than a technical thing. Or does it have some other meaning that does not appear in Google’s first page of results and that ChatGPT is not aware of, and yet “Anyone worth any kind of respect” already implements?

Also, writing a GUI wrapper for a terminal-only program is much easier than writing a terminal wrapper for a GUI-only program.

The fact that speedruns for installing Arch even exist kind of proves the point.

Installing sound on Arch is really easy:

1. Install ALSA
2. Install Pulse
3. Spend half an hour trying to get the sound test to work with various parameters
4. Realize the default sink is set to USB audio and you don’t have a USB audio device
5. Google how to change the default sink
6. Change the default sink

That’s the correct meme.
