Are you a yoga instructor? Because wow, what a stretch.

“most used PC os” - you mean Windows? The OS that has been steadily losing market share to Mac (Unix-based) and Linux for years? Run by the company that hasn’t created a truly innovative product in years, if not decades?

Like I said - BASED ON WHAT DATA?

Fun fact - There are multiple copies of the Linux Kernel on every iPhone ever shipped. The Linux Kernel runs on embedded chips. Windows never has. The same Linux Kernel has also dominated the world’s super-computing rankings for decades. Unlike Windows.

OSS is used to make films, to send people to space, and to do more good for the whole of humanity than whatever tiny, insignificant slice of the scummy, predatory, for-profit, archaic use case that is the legacy “WinTel PC”.

Your ideas are old and the world largely moved on from them about a decade ago. Whatever point you thought you were making by calling this insignificant use case “normal” is so laughably childish that nobody with any functioning brain cells needs to engage with these silly ideas with an iota of seriousness.

Based on what data? You’re simply wrong and you’re too brain-damaged to know how to see how widely OSS is used in everything, everywhere.

Get a life, loser.

So say “supported” or “commercial” software, you muppet. Calling that “normal” is beyond stupid.

That is a stupid use of the term “normal”.

Closed source is not “normal software”. What is so wrong with you that you use terms like that?

we need to fix the actual problem: oligarchs.

the problem is, nobody is angry enough yet to do what needs to be done.

there is no peaceful solution to this problem. as soon as the oligarchs stop deserving to live in houses with unbroken windows and unburnt lawns, we’ll be ready for the solution.

The point is, literally nobody reacts to subway malfunctions with, “and we call this progress???” as if returning to previous modes of transport is somehow the right answer to problems with far less drastic solutions than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

LLMs are a new technology that people are still figuring out how to use effectively. Part of that process is becoming reliant upon “the new way of doing things” to prove that one can rely on it. Clearly, there’s more work to be done. (My dayjob includes working on this same reliability problem.)

One can argue the wisdom of being an early adopter in any new technology. Some thirty years ago, I was told I was insane for going all-in on Linux. The times change. The sanctimoniousness of the peanut gallery hasn’t. The lunatics betting the farm on all that wacky open source stuff three decades ago turned out to have been largely right, despite the numerous failed ventures involved in getting to here.

This is just how the new technology cycle works. With every new tech, a whole lot of people discover all of the ways it doesn’t work before somebody figures out the way to make it work more reliably than any alternative.

Funny how nobody seems to use this argument every time there’s a problem with the NYC subway.

The option going unused doesn’t invalidate the need for the option to be there, moron.

Some people make it pretty clear that the only thing they understand is forced behaviors. Almost like what they’re really after is eradication of individual choices on favor of top-down uniformity.

I’m pretty sure there’s a name for that kind of centrally held power…

The weakest of us possess opinions like this.

I do. Do you?

A fetish is not necessarily something that needs or must be indulged. Some fetishes are better addressed with therapy. For a lot of the same reasons that nobody should be encouraging indulging in fetishes involving children.

Seek help.

Because good guys don’t rape.

That’s an improvement over humans. Humans violate ethical constraints due to KPI pressures far more often.
