Which opinion about technology will get you like this?
I'll start. I actually like KDE and think KDE is great. It doesn't crash.

>>105759265 (OP)
The vast majority of self-proclaimed rational people pick technologies based on a sense of group belonging, identity, and aesthetic preference. The exact same marketing principles that work on normoids also work on autists.
Hence the reason large companies hire people for "developer relations".

Mentioning the benefits of AVIF's hardware acceleration. To a spammer that used to roam here it was like you shit on his grandmothers grave.

>>105759289
Get out of here with your reasonable take you motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>105759265 (OP)
Systemd is great. Yes, it does way more than an init system needs to do, but it's shit that needs doing either way. I much prefer the consistent and well documented systemd environment, especially with the Arch wiki having very detailed tutorials for everything.

>>105759305
Another reasonable take gtfo nigga

>>105759299
he fucking HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATED you so much.

jxl won, btw.

>>105759336
JXL isn't supported by any browser btw.

>>105759336
I personally don't care, JPG works well enough for me and probably will for another decade or so until HDR shit becomes affordable and I hear that PNG will adopt HDR while being backwards compatible as well. However the merits of AVIF hardware acceleration are pretty substantial for those interested in adopting AVIF and /g/ seems to collectively seethe about this as if it was the antichrist because...

I don't know really.

>>105759265 (OP)
I have KDE in my gentoo liveusb. It looks nice.

>>105759382
you can buy a hdr compatible monitor for $99 these days. you do not need oled garbage for 1500 plus your first born for hdr.

>>105759418
Practically speaking you do because only OLED can finely and precisely illuminate individual pixels to different brightness levels. Mini LED gets close but it still looks like dogshit compared to OLED IMHO.

Get great HDR and Blacks

This, there's absolutely zero difference between the normies and the average /g/ user
Also worth noticing that there's also normies tinkering with their things, only difference is that the /g/ things are less known

Windows isn't actually that bad, if you have the same level of competency as the average Linux user, you can make it do just about anything.
Linux is nice, I daily drive it, but I guarantee that every month there's some weird obscure thing that doesn't work as it reasonably should, leading to a couple of hours of tweaking. Bluetooth has been around for fucking years.

MacOS is actually pretty good for the most part. I have few complaints

"tinkertranny" was always a meme by anhedonic schizos trying to shame each other for doing literally anything but lurking 4chan 14 hours a day

I remember reading about a couple who asked a friend to take care of their dog while they were on a holiday, and this friend put on a gay porn movie and paused it for shock humour, but after a week with that image there, it permanently burnt the image into the TV forever.

why do you need hardware acceleration to render images? you can do that shit on a 10 year old cpu

>>105760582
if you have hardware capable of doing it better, why not use it and free the CPU for something that really matter (israeli botnets run by MOSSAD)

>>105760595
nigger, its an image. its only like 1 million pixels max, and the cpu can do at least like 1 trillion FLOPS or something.

High- and even mid-range smartphones are a massive rip-off.

>>105760582
>>105760599
On desktop computers with at least 4 CPU cores it's a huge nothingburger but it does matter for anything that runs on a battery. Not necessarily because the CPU is weak but because it improves battery life. That's it really.

u clearly haven't given it a try

Saying anything at all remotely related to the Xlibre drama. Even some topics that technically don't even involve Xlibre get derailed.

Whether you like it or not Xlibre is FOSS and it's existence is justified.

Code formatters and linters are only for retarded non-creative people who don't care about the craft

React and almost every other ja framework is retarder bullshit because it puts html into js and also because it requires a "build" step.

TS is cope for coders who cannot into actual compiled languages.

Vscode popularity is some kind of wrong timeline.

Neovim has 0 advantages over vim.

You'd be fine with a GC language in 90% of cases and you don't need more.

Most code is write-only even if it's written well. So better people write code that werks after 20 years than try to make it le readable.

If you can't work and deliver without LLMs or autocomplete of some sort you are not a real programmer.

>TS is cope for coders who cannot into actual compiled languages.
TS exists because people know JS is unfixable garbage, not in spite of it.

windows 10 is the best windows version ever made

For me it's c11 with gnu extensions.

I'd have agreed with this last week, but this week KDE's been a real sonofabitch to deal with. I have to restart my bluetooth service after each bootup and my lockscreen stopped working. Other than that I've been happy with it.

>>105759265 (OP)
Its more of a rant but here goes
99% of twitter fin/tech influencers are huffing their own farts and are actively discouraging young people from getting into IT/finance
From crypto-/nft-cults to echochamber babble they spit out daily that only 1 or 2 of those deranged individuals would understand, these x dot com users have made their entire personality be a fake schizo wannabe with "esoteric" knowledge that makes no sense
And these fucks would find even the most basic college level math intimidating and somehow worthy of a post or a thread even
I especially hate these ML motherfuckers who only think in matrices and their simple algebraic operations are somehow all there is to AI yet on the bright side a lot of them are either inactive or are full-on AI glazing now
Makes me wonder how do you still have your >$100k cushy shitposting job when you don't know whats the difference between a battery and a capacitor, or what's a kernel anti-cheat supposed to do, or how launching a diet-based start-up focused on neural networks being able to magically know what exactly was your food made out of from a fucking crusty ass telegram compressed jpeg
it makes zero sense you should not be posting
Stop posting

JS is fine and is getting better every year. Structure your code, write unit tests, avoid over-using JS when SSR would just werk and you'll be fine. The only reason JS may even get unbearable is when it's used with shitty framework bloat. I'm not saying frameworks are bad, but pretty much every js framework is bad and it's not because of the language, but because of the wrong ideas. No amount of strong typing can fix bad ideas.

Logitech make great accesories, that's why they have been around so long.

i3wm is good enough, all the other tilling wm are pointless waste of time and offers very diminishing returns.

>>105759265 (OP)
People who think AI is limited to coding and generating text are pretty much left behind refusing them is probably better, though

>>105762098
100% agree. Tried using bspwm and friends, it was nice that there's a separate daemon to process input from keyboard, but at some point I was just like "fuck this shit, I've got better things to do".

>>105759289
Very accurate. I've noticed that "star power" works quite effectively on me, but only with a very specific category of autists that no marketing snake would ever touch.

>>105762098
*very small

>>105762121
Yep, I tried it too, along with dwm and spectrwm. I wasted a lot of time and now I'm back to xfce, where I get shit done other than of (((ricing))) my twm ad infinitum. But if I were to go back to it, I'd use i3 simply because, barebones, it's pretty usable and overall requires minimal configuration.

Open source "free" software is bad because it is just a bunch of tax evasion/money laundering conspiracies between open source devs and big corporations + bring free and open source means never being able to actually develop realistic competition to big tech. I would rather have cheap software instead of free.

I would argue marketing works even better on autistics than normies, because the entire existence of the autistic revolves around feeding his confirmation biases, and they usually lack the cognitive hardware to make value judgments themselves.

Linux will never have a viable widespread sufficient desktop environment because linux culture is inherently collectivist which by its very ideological nature defeats the cohesive autocratic vision needed to maintain a consistent and inspired user experience. This is not a condemnation; it merely is what it is.

I like gnome, vanilla, as is. Werks fine, is minimalistic and doesn't make me angry at inconsistencies.
