I use it all the time for work especially for long documents and formatting technical documentation. It's all but eliminated my removed work. A lot of people are sour on AI because "it's not going to deliver on generative AI etc etc" but it doesn't matter. It's super useful and we've really only scratched the surface of what it can be used for.

This is why people should stop recommending Arch. Fedora or Opensuse TW should be recommended instead for new people. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I'm not a programmer but I've been using linux for over 20 years. It's crazy to me that someone who develops software for a living would not just run Windows but have never meaningfully ran linux. 🤔

'Lol' Three simple characters. "FLOSS software? Ridiculous. So DUMB." He says to himself. Finally a single tap and his snarky comment begins it's instantaneous travail through countless GPL licensed unix systems to reach his victim - an ignorant commenter on an open-source, federated lemmy instance.

I don't like it and wouldn't buy an HP as my next printer for software reasons alone. I'd suggest supporting another company or getting a used HP for free or next to nothing and buying refilled cartridges from aliexpress or amazon for 30-40% of what HP charges (this is what I do). It's a shitty practice but it doesn't make me want to get daddy government involved.

"Right to Repair" is different. If I buy a printer and the ink chassis breaks and I'm capable of sourcing a part and fixing it myself then I have a right to do that on my own because it's mine.

Edit: As an aside if we explanded my initial proposal to encompass FLOSS hardware as well as software this wouldn't be a problem because companies would be tripping over themselves for the government contracts.

What we need to do is: Make it illegal to run a business

Twitter doesn't owe anyone anything. Kamala could go post anywhere else but she's not even though the left hates Elon.

The idea that we should pass laws to force twitter to show certain info and expose endpoints to support third party apps is ridiculous. It's their data and they aren't putting a gun to anyone's head.

Passing a law forcing the government to use only FLOSS software for day-to-day activities solves this problem, actually makes sense on a principle level and isn't a ridiculous overreach of power.
