Oh god no stop
I’m new. Why do we not like Omarchy?
It’s headed by a racist, and a suspicious amount of money has been flooding into the project for no discernible reason other than his questionable politics.
And it’s essentially just preconfigured Arch Linux for people with the attention span of a grapefruit, but who think that they’ll impress anyone by installing this nonsense, instead of just going for some standard distro and throwing a random tiling wm onto it…
Ah, thanks for the heads-up.
WTF
Is so sad to think Omarchy is just a cheap shitty AI made copy of what ArcoLinux once was, and many other distributions that were maintained for many years with minimum contributions to their maintainers. :/ Pretty sure even if you sum the amount of what Gnome and KDE Plasma get in donations for many years, is the same amount that this shit collected in one year.
Pretty sure nobody uses this shit, I mean, maybe 5% of all Linux users use Tilling Window managers to start, and now OMARCHY IS THE STANDARD!!! (according to these money laundering companies)
This is so disgusting, I would love we still have ArcoLinux because thanks to Erik (the main developer) I learned a lot of Linux, it was like Linux from Scratch but a lot easier, but even when he took the time to help us learn, he may be get like $5 in donations per week at most.
So fucking disgusting.
Best-case scenario existing projects can do actual clean-room reimplementations of what Omarchy makes work. Keeping all the AI-REA and AI-generated code in one distro has it advantages for other distros ;)
I guess AMD didn’t get the memo that fascism isn’t cool anymore
Damn, I guess Form over Function and Flashy Marketing really are all that matters
Fascism over function and faschy marketing
We’re needing RISC-V CPUs more than ever instead of AMD and Intel
“VP of AI software loves AI slop built dotfiles by a man that would in any other situation demand he leave his country”
A. VP means…jack all in the corporate world and B. I’d wait a little bit before slinging the pitchforks at AMD.
In reality this just proves a point I made last week on mastodon. Users are soon just going to have to make exceptions for what they are willing to use because of this AI crap. it’s everywhere now, it’s in everything, and pretty much everything we use is slop coded in some form or another. You’re now just going to have to decide on what levels of AI bullshit you’re willing to accept in your daily computing.
Or we just all start using TempleOS on machines from 20+ years ago.
VP doesn’t mean anything in US financial institutions because it’s a minimum level where someone’s legally allowed to make certain decisions but in companies that manufacture things at scale it’s usually a meaningful indicator of a high ranking position. AMD VPs don’t make it to their leadership webpage but SVPs do.
Damn, i shouldn’t have read the comments over there…
I was expecting worse, but I’m still always surprised just how dumb and brainwashed the slop-bros are (while calling everyone else brainwashed) whenever I run into them.
AI is literally a brainwashing machine. It gives you exactly the data it has been trained to give you, in the format it’s been trained to use, acting like it comprehensively knows everything even while it omits or refuses to what it’s been trained to never talk about, and it is designed to act unbelievably convincing and personable. It’s essentially a pre-packaged cult leader in a box, and it should not be surprising that so many people are doing its bidding and worshipping it. But of course “it” doesn’t have any wants or needs, it’s not trying to take over the world, it’s just an obedient patsy for the people pulling its strings. The people who created “it” are the ones we should be worried about.
Absolutely agree with all of that. It just always catches me off guard to see it since I mostly avoid the spaces where they gather.
I think I have a prototype of a browser extension somewhere on my computer whose only function is to hide the comments button on Phoronix.
This is why I don’t like the CPU duopoly…I really hope RISC-V takes off soon! Or at the very least maybe ARM chips from a variety of different brands, I dunno
Somebody want to leak the IP of ASML to China? We desperately need some competition
OMG, ewwwwww.
On the wrong side of history there
Seems like my next CPU/GPU won’t be AMD. How is Apple doing lately?
Bad choice. They’re all evil. AMD is still the least evil despite this, but there’s nothing even close to a viable alternative. AMD is the best we’ve got.
Maybe, i don’t know, but iam more willing to buy something else or refurbished atm.
Those laptops are like 6000-7000 USD, similar to the RTX Spark, while also already getting close to being replaced by Medusa Halo somewhere in 2028.
