I am not saying that. I am saying that diversity for the sake of diversity is done by a tiny amount of crazy kids. Only extremely rare “alternatives” are staying alive. Most people respect stability and use soft that is decades old(not old versions, but soft that was founded decades ago).

Isn’t part of being in the Linux culture to experiment with things, even if it’s just the window manager, settings, or particular apps?

Actually no. We proud that we can not to reinstall OS in decades. That we have /etc and ~/.config dirs. Linux from the user standpoint is very conservative. Everything that worked 20 years ago, still works. Just some things became more trivial in setup.

Of course we have some “civil wars” here and there, like PulseAusio, X Window, etc, but those are few and not very interesting to the end-user.

Because hiking is the goal for hikers, changing scenery is just to make things less tedious.

What’s the reason for changing distros? (Except of course for the distros that offer completely different approach like switching Debian-Gentoo-LFS might be of some interest)

Why did you try so many different distros? For me it was RedHat first, then I switched to Debian(because “no corporations” sentiment, technically RH was ok) somewhere 20 years ago and use it since then.

I believe we should find some more rude term for Android.

Nice attempt, actually. I am immune to such things, but it definitely should work on younger people.

I prefer the “shit” term regarding Ubuntu :)

Stallman: Android-shmadroid. That’s why I always insist on “GNU/Linux” name, not just Linux.

I’m talking about laziness. And that stuff you named too.

Bloatness is just an excuse to avoid all the problems of installing a new program in Gentoo.

Hunger is a distinctive feeling too. And pain.

Squirrel: nuts pie, I hope.
Hare: carrots pie, I hope.
Hedgehog: I hope it will be a cockroach pie.

Wow, this guy has found the way to make the situation even more idiotic. Almost mathematically ideal idiocy.

I would still like to see an explanation of why it is bad. Regardless of who will provide that explanation :)

One more piece of bad news for VR.

OP claims that this particular piece of news is somehow bad.

Can you explain how it is bad?

I don’t think the word “ignore” means what you think it means :)

I’m not an artist and actually can’t draw, but still need to use GIMP and Inkscape. I use them for a few decades. Still can’t remember the basic things. The UI concept is completely alien to me. Krita was better, but I stopped using it, I don’t remember why. Some functionality was absent, I suppose.

Data is available therefore it is… well, available. You don’t want to pay to host it? Don’t then. LLM companies don’t hack your servers. They read only the data that you have provided volunterely.

I’m fine with companies using any freely available data.
