Death has seen way worse, if my stint as a paramedic is anything to go by.

Debian used to be so good. What happened!? (lemmy.world)

Firefox on Debian stable is so old that websites yell at you to upgrade to a newer browser. And last time I tried installing Debian testing (or was it debian unstable?), the installer shat itself trying to make the bootloader. After I got it to boot, apt refused to work because of a missing symlink to busybox. Why on earth do...

I have been using unstable on desktop for at least 15 years. Every time a new stable was released that would cause a month of just staying off updates till things stabilized. Recently it's not even had that issue.

I've had to pin a package or two in that time, but unstable has been rock solid otherwise. I even run it on my server.

There are no Linux gatekeepers. There are assholes everywhere, that's the human condition. I came across these assholes and I learnt that I should take advice and consider it myself.

If you close your brain and listen to random online people without thought, you'll have a bad time, Linux or no Linux.

This stereotype of people in Linux or open source as assholes is FUD spread by people who have a vested interest in spreading it.

I've found people mostly very helpful and courteous.

Or how Batman stole kryptonite from Lex Luthor in the storytelling masterpiece "Batman v Superman" by auteur director Zach Snyder.

Everyone who thinks they are in the bottom right, is in the bottom left.

I think the point you're missing is modern cameras (especially smart phone cameras) already have AI and don't "capture" what they see accurately.

In fact photographers going back into the earliest days of photography have been modifying photos with all the tools available to them.

Generative AI is just the latest tool in the toolbox and still requires skill and creativity to get good results.

This cartoon is stupid and the artist is a Nazi, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I'm thinking of buying a Thinkpad w530 for such "geriatric" tasks
