I wager the “third of code is AI generated” was perhaps a twist of the truth to advertise for AI in general.

That said, an OS on AI generated code is not a good thing, and it shows regardless of what % is actually AI generated.

Right? Like if this exists, what’s their draw for users to use the dogshit version?

They’re simply stupider than you thought. They buy into hype so fast without really listening to the experts already on the team.

I think it’ll strongly depend on how intrusive it ends up being.

Because they weren’t made as stylish. If you had that exact same tv, but with wood-style paneling and the occasional velvet lining, it would be exactly as charming. Nice style has been phased out over time, being reserved for extremely expensive versions of appliances instead of being the standard.

And like, that’s not to say there’s literally no nice style in anything these days, but the average product tends to look… bland and cheap.

Honestly just funny to see. It makes perfect sense, based on how they made the site hostile to users.

We change our vocal intonation when delivering it verbally to help make it obvious. Text lacks those subtleties, so it needs a more direct signifier.

I do appreciate being able to use my mouse with the newer designs, though.

The last few times I even had to disable it, there was no setting for it. RegEdit was the way to disable the search-in-start-menu stuff.

But regardless, I’m still talking about seeing this issue on a fresh install. That’s definitely not something that happens because I fiddle with settings.

I saw it all the time. It drove me nuts. I’m not sure how you literally never see it, because my clean and fresh installs of windows always worked this way until I did a RegEdit update to kill the websearch in it.

I always dug into RegEdit to disable this crap. And somehow, each time, it was a different series of steps.

What does Cinnamon have that makes you like it over something like KDE?

For real. It’s wild how often people don’t just straight up call out bad corps.

They will, once again, choose to “move past” the event and not create any actual fixes.

Kind of a weird title. Of course adoption would slow? The people who want it have adopted it, the people who don’t haven’t.

Just leaving the valley of despair, i suppose?

It’s not a terrible idea. ChatGPT is great at summarizing info, especially stuff you’d use manuals for. I make sure to ask it where certain info came from (so I can try to verify) OR having it explain its approach so I get it in the future.
