Follow-up video to https://lemmy.world/post/32690521


Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience "hasn't been great" is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.

Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).

You have missed my point. People are already putting in effort at their jobs. When they do get time to relax they don't want to be required to do a second job.

If this was a car community you would be telling me that everyone needs to know how to do their own oil changes. If this was a baking community you would say everyone needs to make their own bread. A gardening community would say growing vegetables.

These can be valuable and rewarding skills, but just because it is important to you doesn't mean it should be required of everyone.

Haven't you seen the folks on linkedin? They are bragging about letting AI do their job.(Im not talking about the manual labourers and such.) Just today I learned that doctors using AI to identify cancer are getting worse at identifying it themselves. And yes you should know how to change your oil, bake your own bread and grow your own vegetables. You should also know why the sunset is red and that snails don't die from eating poisous mushrooms because a liver is required to metabolise it.

You do know that there is more than one other person on the internet?

Yeah, you are a hero who knows it all, gotcha.
