From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Meh, if it will do stuff like merging results in the awesome bar, I'll happily take it.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The problem is, this should be an addon that people can install or at least, remove. I don't want AI in my text editor, in my browser or in my operating system.

I mean the address bar. If I type in a port which I know something is on locally, it shows me five different entries pointing to the same thing. I'm saying they should be merged. You and I know that this is programmatically simple and should be the default behaviour, however in this age, at least according to marketing, it's AI.

And I am saying, if they want to it, then it should be an addon and not installed by default that cannot be removed.

I'm sorry, but you're being ridiculous. Why should it be an add-on to say merge two identical rows from a database query?

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Why not? I think you are ridiculous. Just for two identical rows to merge them is not a good reason to introduce AI into the system. This could have been done without AI, but if they really want an AI, then it has to be an addon. If its really that simple, then there is no need for an AI.

I'm guessing you haven't had your coffee yet, because I blatantly said

If you want to fight for the sake of fighting, please go find someone else. It's too early for this stupidness.

Maybe you should stop insulting people like an idiot.

You asked me why this AI for this simple two line merger should be an addon and I explained to you it should because its an AI. If you have no good argument, then insulting people won't make you right. You make an dumbass example, I give you an answer and you give me this stupid reply. idiots get blocked.

I honestly don't think you're a bad person, I just think that you're blinded by a red mist right now. You'll think back to this later and laugh about it, I'm sure. Have a good day.

You're just irrationally disliking it based on the name "AI" and nothing factual.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago

You have no idea why I dislike it and create nonsense judgement over my disliking. I think this is a normal human defending position of you, because I dislike something (there are good reasons for) that you like.
