Hey as a European I happily use your money and willing to pay only a cheap claude subscription 😊

But if you keep this industry and find a way to operate it on low cost, then the US wins big in the long-term.

Actually they understand the code that they generate very well. But for existing codebases they make a big mess, because they don’t see the same abstractions humans would like to see.

I learned it the hard way

Left and right is also country/era dependent. It still says nothing.

You are having an imaginary enemy that you call as “liberals” which is the cause of all bad things. You can hate liberals, but please first know what does it mean to be liberal. Liberal means liberalism like, or somebody liking liberalism. Which is associated with capitalism.

You are not using the right word. It’s like saying you hate dogs because they fly above you and shit on your clothes. That’s the wrong animal. It’s just dumb.

You are looking for the word “conservatives”

“Liberal movement to further police the internet” it sounds like that’s a liberal thing to do, but it’s actually restricting rights => not liberal

I develop inside docker for this reason too

If researchers barely have grasp on how LLMs work how did they create Claude?

They should use sea water

Nobody should use any browsers other than servo. But it’s not ready yet 🤷‍♂️

I use incus as a sandbox for claude. Previously I used podman, but podman in podman is a pain, so I gave it a full vm 😄

I think you have to learn, but I don’t think it’s difficult to learn. As I said I find it intuitive. My mum could learn it and she is not techy at all. That’s actually a very good example, because she couldn’t print on Windows and now she can with Linux.

Like KDE? It would be a lot more complex. I would fear giving KDE for newcomers. It’s basically windows 98, but with frosty glass themes, fragmented apps.

Or Cinnamon? You upgraded to windows XP. Congratulations.

Deepin? Looks cool until you try to use it.

Xfce? That’s stable and fast. But would you advertise Linux as that outdated?

Cosmic, still early.

Budgie, maybe.

I really think gnome is the best default.

Nevertheless, It’s you mixing intuitive and familiar. Moreover, people who give Linux a trial, they wish for something different. And they really like Gnome from my experience.

Not at all. Newcomers want intuitive UI. And gnome is really that.

Examples:

One unified settings app. Containing all the settings that as a average user needs. It’s always at the top right corner.

Change the wallpaper? Top right corner -> settings

Add a network? Top right corner -> settings

Extend display to projector? Top right corner -> settings

It’s not weird at all.

What would be a better starter DE then?

If somebody is coming from a different DE he wants the same interactions that they used to do. It’s easy to hate Gnome because people see that first. And they find:

• there’s no tray
• what’s that line at the top
• where’s the start menu
• where are the opened apps
• is the app drawer really that ugly

And these are only expectations and you just learn to do things differently.

Just because it has a different workflow that big players implanted in people, Linux needs to match that?

The worst thing you can do is to install a dock extension to make it feel like you are in your previous DE. If you want to get the real Gnome experience, you need to let it be Gnome.

As for the design, it’s indeed subjective, but we can agree that it is modern with balanced spacing. You can feel that a graphic designer worked on it. And if you don’t like it, that’s the same as with other DEs, install a theme. As you can’t change QT apps to use titlebar you can’t change GTK apps to use app menu instead.

And finally the keyboard efficiency: Indeed every major DE is keyboard efficient, but I wasn’t expecting it for Gnome when I was learning it, because I’m videos, you always see clicks, so I mentioned it.

It is included because it is innovative, newby friendly (Windows and Mac are both more complex), It has efficient keyboard navigation by default. And it has pleasant, modern UI by default.

Could you please not excite cancel culture against a great DE?

If you want to join developing an alternative, I’m in.
