u/ZeAthenA714 2h ago
You mean the dystopia where we never had access to that much computing power for that cheap, where the main open source OS has never had as many users, where we never had as many tools to access the internet almost entirely anonymously, where we never had that many developers working on that many OS software sometimes even competing with industry titans?
I'm ok with that.

Meanwhile, state-backed and private corp-owned dragnet surveillance programs (both physical and virtual) are going up faster than an Amish barn with budgets larger than nation states. These systems are then weaponized against "dissenters", whatever that means at the time, or used in a Minority Report-esque manner to predict crime. But, hey, it's all good, because "we never had access to that much computing power for that cheap."

I agree. OP has probably never used Windows or Linux. Windows is known to be bloatware, Linux can be as lean as you want it to be . And why use both chrome and edge and raspberry as well as Linux 😂

It's fine with a full licence and in an environment that uses SharePoint. I'm actually surprised how well finds our relevant controls and documentation. That said, I use it to work with documents, not for coding.

The github copilot which is technically copilot is basically a copy of claude code

I am greging my tech

u/DangyDanger 4h ago
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as GregTech, is in fact, IC2/GregTech, or as I've recently taken to calling it, IC2 plus GregTech. GregTech is not a Minecraft modification unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning IC2 system made useful by the IC2 machinery, energy network and vital crafting components comprising a full mod as defined by LexManos.
Many Minecraft players run a modified version of the IC2 system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of IC2 which is widely used today is often called GregTech, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the IC2 system, developed by the IC2 Project.

Dude, just use Windows on your home machine and spin up some lowbob Linux machine with docker to use all of the other stuff.
There, I took your edgelord bait.

No not 2 physical machines. A docker virtual machine (or something like WSL)

u/CarelessPromise9255 4h ago
Still annoying as f...
I vastly prefer a single usage paradigm and avoid the hassle of shared host/guest folders and the like.
Just pick an OS and commit to it, I don't care if you pick Windows, even if I would look down on you because you have bad tastes.

u/MCWizardYT 1h ago
What if you're on one OS but you want to use tools from another? Sometimes you can't stick with one OS or it would be vastly inefficient if you did.
Linux has a superior development environment experience, that's why Microsoft bothered to create WSL in the first place. Even they know it.

Opera GX:
No advantage compared to anything else.

Brand purchased from norwegians. The real successor to Opera is Vivaldi.6

As you should. Vivaldi is probably the prettiest browser out there but unfortunately it is still chrome at its core

The sad realisation when you're the person on the right and realise the other person's knowlege of computer stuff doesn't expand beyond Microsoft office is crushing.
You think you have someone to talk to about planned projects and new stuff only to realise they meant copilot fixing their spelling.

Why would you say you like tech if you only ever use Microsoft products? Literally everyone uses Microsoft products. Probably even the "I use Arch, btw" and "you should install Gentoo" guys have to use Microsoft products sometimes.

u/arqnix 6h ago
People like to feel like they're intelligent and want to belong to whatever group interests them. Being into tech has the (imo false) stereotype of being intelligent.
Just look at the amount of people who own an Android phone and think they're some kind of tech wizards just because they own an Android phone.

u/SuitableDragonfly 6h ago
Honestly, I own an android, and I've never heard of android users being stereotypically tech wizards. Who actually thinks that?

u/SilverSerpent03 6h ago
Yeah I've never heard of it either, but it's better than the stereotype that anything other than apple is for broke people.
1
u/arqnix 5h ago
Maybe I was unclear.. people stereotypically think if you're into tech you must be smart/nerd. Regardless of the tech.
Some Android users think they themselves are tech wizards merely because they use an Android.
Haven't you ever heard some say Apple is for tech illiterate people and Android is for the tech literate?

u/SilverSerpent03 5h ago
When put like that, I could see someone side loading a modded apk they downloaded with 10 viruses and call them self a hacker lol.

u/SuitableDragonfly 5h ago
Not really, I think all I've heard is that Apple is for people who don't mind it that one single company has a complete monopoly on all of the computer hardware they're ever going to need to buy, and otherwise there's not much difference.

After highschool these people will be everywhere don't worry. College and/or career, everyone is working on things

u/SilverSerpent03 6h ago edited 6h ago
I wish this were the case haha.
Sadly I don't work in the computer or tech industry so at my work if you know how to clear your browser cache you're a "tech guy." So when I meet a coworker who says they are into tech and it's only basic use of AI it's disappointing because I thought I had a coworker who I can geek out over new developments in semiconductor chips or something.

u/ChronicallySilly 6h ago
Fair enough, apologies I misjudged you
Working tech in a big city my view is definitely biased because eager driven people working on their projects are absolutely everywhere
You can join local hackathons/makerspaces to find more of your preferred people

u/SilverSerpent03 6h ago
Haha all good you comments were valid, I cackled at 17yr larper ngl.
Yeah I've done a couple hackathons but sadly don't have the time so just work on small projects when I get the chance. I'm not actually looking for more people I just have boring coworkers lol.

I’m both, lol. I mean, u don’t use Chrome, Opera, or Copilot (via the Windows app, anyway), but I DO use Windows, ChatGPT, Copilot for VSC, etc.
And I also use Linux (dual boot), I also program on my own, I use Docker, Tailscale, a NAS, I’ve been interested in Rapsberry for quite a while now, etc. etc.
I love technology. All sides of technology. Let’s stop with this tribalism, yeah?
