  • Dropped Ubuntu because of snaps.

    Dropped Manjaro because updating anything on it was too annoying and potentially destructive if you didn’t read through every changelog.

    Currently on bluefin because everything is working smoothly on it. Also have a Bazzite setup which I’m not as happy with as I am with bluefin but not to the point of thinking of dropping it.


  • Another problem I’ve realized today, is the proliferation of data that was originally hallucinated by AI.

    I was discussing an issue on a software with a coworker and he asked an AI for help configure around it. He then sent me “apparently we can try changing this setting to this value”. I told him to first validate if that setting really existed because AI tends to make up things like that when it’s what you would want to hear and running a test would take us 20~30 minutes.

    He found some discussions about that setting not working as people expected. “ok at least it exists then” and we tried it. It didn’t work. I later cloned the source of that software and checked, the setting didn’t exist - ever.
