More like the dumbest way possible to boost the usage stats… Generating garbage from more garbage.

The platform “attracted” ai agents… oh wow, these people are full blown ELIZA Effect. Total writeoff. They’re gonners…

Yea, it obviously will take a helmet on top of this to be anything remotely safe.

I’m still seeing crushed collar bones from this design, though that’s definitely better than a fucked up collar bone and fucked up ribs.

The world really needs to learn executives are nothing but overpaid toddlers… The sooner the better…

There is already tons of software that use zero tokens. It’s called everything that existed before this “AI” bullshit…

It is what it is, which is why they want to sustain it as long as possible.

Totally +1 for MX. I’ve tried a few distros over the years, and sure plenty of woes ‘could’ be the recent growing pains into Wayland, etc … but thus far, MX has been so fucking easy it’s almost concerning.

The only thing I’d slightly gripe about so far is the highly limited options at install time. No multiple partition setup or nearly any alternative choices … but that can also be viewed as a positive.

From the standpoint of, “I just want this shit to work”, it’s been excellent.

I was also looking at cinnamon, but I wanted a KDE Plasma option. Then I ran into MX and figured why not try? A couple of very simple and fast installs later, and two different laptops are now running it.

The extreme ease at installing nvidia drivers was just icing on the cake for how easy the rest went.

Unless the programs in question rely on conflicting core dependencies that actually have to have hooks into the system, like KWallet and other credential managers, and other similarly “system” level tools, you’ll be totally fine. Worst case while avoiding those, you might have to install some hefty frameworks (eg: KDE’s dependencies are >1gb), but that’s about it.

If they need to integrate with specific core utilities, it can get weird. Though as long as you check for conflicting stuff before actually installing, you’ll be fine.

Well if you’re unzipping on the flash drive, that’s a whole mountain worse than copying device to device. Why would you want to torture the flash drive and your patience like that?

Not zipped to a flash drive. Zipped and sent over the same USB cable as sending the bunch of files.

The actual transfer bandwidth attained does rely a ton on what connection speed gets negotiated. The overhead of how at least Windows deals with USB is very noticeable at lower speeds. 3.1 or less and I can guarantee you the zip option might start looking like a valid choice.

Of course if you get 3.2gen2+ speeds negotiated, it’s going to be ‘fast enough’ either way assuming the devices can deliver on read/write…

No, there’s a massive difference between doing something local and doing something over a hotpluggable connection.

USB by default, especially in Windows, does a lot of extra work to make sure nothing gets corrupted in transit, and that if the cable comes unplugged, nothing gets corrupted.

When you unzip on your local system, it’s just like sending an accountant into the back to unbox something. It’s one process, going as fast as they can, with local resources ready at hand.

When transferring a ton of files over USB, it’d be more like asking someone over the phone to send the contents of the box over, one by one. So now you have someone on the far end rummaging around for stuff meant for the box, packaging it up and sending items off one by one, telling a second person at the receiving end about each in turn, and only moving on once the receiver confirmed that one item came across OK.

The difference is insane. It’s probably even more overhead than the above example implies.
