Also they sold your data to the next broker.

No programmers.

Losers who see ai as the opportunity to compete with people who are passionate about something else than fame or money.

Weird example but ok.

And no, it is not only historical. I stated that in my original comment and I invite you to look at left wing politics but some “left wing” politician’s position on some random issue, but a widely supported position by the left wing community. You will see that they are all in opposition of hierarchy.

But let’s take your weirdly racist example, where is the hierarchy?

That is nonsense.

The left was coined by its opposition to the monarchy while the right supported it.

So left has been currently and historically speaking in opposition of hierarchies and in favor of equality.

The right consequently has been in favor of hierarchies.

Every significant AI company makes their best efforts to stop it.

Someone should have told him that Elon “stopped” it by trying to make money from it.

I think all of these actions are morally wrong but could you tell me how they are objective and not subjective? A reasonable person seems to be a person and consequently fundamentally subjective.

In my mind, I acknowledge that i only ever wanted to have sex with women. But i would be an idiot to make being straight part of my identity because if I would ever meet a man that I could and would love, I would just have made it more difficult for me to accept that and there is zero gain in identifying as straight. I don’t think we need to identify our sexuality, we just need to be willing to accept ourselves and go with the flow.

Saying “I am 100% straight!” Seems to be a good way to have an identity crisis when you find someone attractive that doesn’t make you feel straight enough to accept it.

All but my work computer (they don’t let me) run some version of debian.

It is bullying but nazis deserve it. But as with most things, it isn’t that simple.

Let’s say l, we bully the nazi by poking fun at the ridiculously stupid bases of their beliefs. everyone who feels attacked by that, is a fucking nazi, and why would we care for their feelings? Fuck them.

Let’s say, we bully the nazi by poking fun at his physical appearance. Is everyone with a similar physical appearance a fucking nazi? No! Is it reasonable that they see it as body shaming? Yes. So yes, you bully a nazi, good job! But you also body shame others. And those others might understand that you bully a nazi, and are supportive, but nonetheless, you tell them that their appearance is something bad.

I mean, let’s say, i wanna bully candace owens for being a nazi. She is an anti-semit, she is far-right, she made comments that imply that the Holocaust within germany was fine but hilter made the “mistake” to “globalize” it. She supported kayne West with his… comments… I think we can call her a nazi. So i should be fine bullying her! But if i would bully her for being black, or with black stereotypes, you would probably tell me to stop being racist and you would be right. But if I would mock her for her beliefs that Brigitte macron wants to assassinate candace, you wouldn’t care and would laugh with me.

You might be fine with nazis being killed, but if whoever kills them, also kills 1 non-nazi as causality per nazi killed, you might don’t support that. And if you do, maybe 1000 non-nazi causalities would bother you.

How am I gatekeeping?

I am not telling anyone to use Linux in anyway or to not use it in anyway. I am just pointing out that the average user wants a pretty/convenient gui and not the most efficient tool. That isn’t bad. I don’t want to eat some weird mixture of nutrients because it is optimal, I want to eat food that I enjoy eating.

I am calling out the weird focus on efficiency of software when the average user wants a good user experience. The user’s desire is not good nor bad, they just highlights that focusing on criticising efficiency of software is a strange thing to do, if the customer desires something else. It is like complaining that grindr is lacking heterosexual people.

I know. That is why I started my statement by stating that I don’t like the framing. It treats “efficiency” as the point of software. As the thing, that we should care about when judging software.

But it isn’t. It is user experience. And yes, efficiency is part of that. Both, efficiency in execution and efficiency of use.

And the user experience has improved a lot (ignoring intentional anti patterns to exploit the user that are fairly common, but i think we can agree to ignore that for the sake of the conversation)

E.g. From the terminal, I open a known file far more quickly then through an gui. Even if I want to use a gui for the file, issuing the opening command is quicker in the terminal.

GUIs often require the user to scan the interface to find the relevant information as the developer didn’t know what you are actually searching.

With a terminal, the user can be much more precise in what they seeking and consequently, less information is provided and less information needs to be scanned by the user.

The average user doesn’t want to remember and type a specific phrase to do something though. Even if it is “faster” and more “efficient”, the user want to be guided towards the information. The user wants a good user experience, not a fast/efficient one.

Pretty and guided, that is what the average user wants. Modern software is pretty and guided, not efficient and fast. Yes, developer became lazy in optimisation and like to use some big framework to save dev time. But the user also wanted it that way by wanting pretty GUIs because that is easier with the big frameworks.

It does because it highlights that instead of being excited to “have to use the terminal” as it is more “efficient” but instead they prefer the “slower” prettier gui. The user want the stupid animations and the flashy nonsense. The user doesn’t want quick software. They want pretty software.

I am not saying linux is terminal. I am saying that people tell you that linux is all terminal and that they want a gui.

Linux gui is much prettier than Windows anyway.

The terminal is quicker. Not because of the image is drawn more quickly but because it is more efficient to do anything.

I dislike a lot the framing of this.

Yes, the average software runs much less efficient. But is efficiency what the user want? No. It is not.

How many people will tell you that they stick to windows instead of switching to linux because linux is all terminal? And terminal is quicker, more efficient for most things. But the user wants a gui.

And if we compare modern gui to old gui… I don’t think modern us 15x worse.

I don’t think highly of those misogyny groups that call themselves mra. But honestly, I have heard them complain about all these things.

But hey, sexist, who calling other sexist sexist, are still sexist and can fuck off.

Past tense. You can’t change the past. Checkmate!

I will change it to “tagged a person who ate raw pasta until they vomited” then we don’t need to update each other :)

Corrected.
