I’m seeing a lot of marketing repeating a claim that over half (54%) of code written in 2024 was AI-generated. But I haven’t seen a single source cited.

Has anyone dug into this claim and can share where it comes from? I want to evaluate the source.

I’m once again begging video players to use the letterbox area, when present, for subtitle display.

Unless a subtitle has a position hint (eg BluRay often has dialog under the speaker, which is fine and often helpful), stick it in the letterbox area. Why block part of the visual content if you don’t have to?

I find that often the reason more-flexible OSes get a rep for fragility is they tend to be used by people like me: people who want to make their computer optimized in some way.

We tend to then configure to the limits of our knowledge and introduce delightful little edge cases. Less flexibility in an OS stops us from doing that, but then we’re unhappy for a different reason

The last time I built a laptop, I decided I’d leave the ultra-tuned stuff on my desktop and just use Manjaro with minimal customization. The only “fragility” I have experienced in 3 years is some frankly minor dependency hell: and that only with some AUR packages

I don’t think #Linux is actually fragile: it just won’t get in the way of me building a fragile system.

I know #linux has this reputation of being fussy and fragile, but I just helped my partner install Xubuntu ona new laptop and it was literally boot and click through the wizards and boom: working desktop.

There’s value in tradition. It connects you to your past, and helps put your present in context. Sure, sometimes people wield “tradition” like a weapon (and often it turns out those traditions are extremely new).

But you know what’s worse? Deliberate destruction of someone’s culture and traditions. At scale, that’s colonialism. But it also looks like parents who join a cult or extremist group and cut their kids off from family and cultural traditions
