VERY much.
VERY much.
At first I thought you were talking about some edition that the UN remastered and was really confused.
That guy (likely your second account) is just posting nonsense. The vote count does not agree with the statement that “people don’t like AI” and once again proves that you are in the very vocal minority group.
It’s OK to hate AI, though. What is not OK is being so agressive over it, especially when you’re being off topic like in the case you linked.
It does. The simplest way to use Proton with other games is to add each as a non-Steam game to… Steam. But there are also CLIs for it.
Being so agressive over someone else’s cluelessness is not OK. Imagine if teachers in schools were that punitive over children solving problems wrongly, kids would never have learnt anything.
I didn’t claim that politeness makes one’s assumption correct all of a sudden, I was pointing out that it was an indicator that OP was not being trolled and could’ve presented their disagreement not in the form of drama, enlighten the other side of the discussion and have a nice day.
You are literally putting words in that person’s mouth. They were suggesting therapy as a good idea before medical transition and expressed their opinion in a polite, elaborative way. And here you go running around claiming that they push the message that therapy should be required, that they make someone unable to transition without going to therapy etc.
You don’t have to be so defensive when you’re arguing with someone who doesn’t threaten neither youin particular nor any group of people in general. You could’ve expressed your disagreement politely and go mind your day, but you chose to stir up all this drama.
That person doesn’t gatekeep anyone and their reply to you clearly shows that they engage in good faith.
Looking at the system journal using journalctl
is always a good start. Move to the page, which shows events around the time the described incident happened and try to see if there’s anything worth of your attention, likely highlighted as a warning (yellow) or an error (red).
Your initial wording made me mistakingly think that your point was in showing that AI made creations worse but before, when humans made it themselves.
Now that I see your real point, I still cannot agree. Your arguing has a false premise of thinking that everyone wants genuine human expression everywhere and eye candy images are no longer enough. Yet proofs of that not being the case are right before your eyes - look at the amount of upvotes on this post. The ones posting comments like
I’d rather see a crayon picture than AI slop.
are a vocal minority. Most people see the good enough image generated by AI and pass on. They never bother to zoom in and look for the artifacts that it has. Most don’t have the time to look for the ChatGPT wording, they read the post diagonally for 10 seconds and move on with their life.
The argument has its roots in the problem of our different social surroundings. Maybe your life is full of people who have the time and energy to enjoy art that is not just looking decent but has a meaning, a message to it. Mine has a lot of people who are overworked and undereducated to play the game of being culturally superior, to look for humane expressions.
Sometimes, technologically decent is enough. For some people, a simple eye candy that your view for a short period of time is enough to improve their mood during a break. It does not erase the point of high art. It does not threaten it. Thus, I find people that come barking at every AI-generated piece of imagery or text or whatever, claiming that posting this is stealing from others, that such posts serve zero purpose, that it’s better to be shown something poorly drawn with crayon, ridiculous and pitiful.
This is selective memory at best. There’s a lot of so-called art by real humans and text wishes that are way way worse than what OpenAI’s algorithms produce.
Could they? What if they don’t have the skills to draw it themselves?
Not everyone lives in the so-called first world. Here the ISPs don’t care about pirating.
I gave Darkest Dungeon a try yesterday and it’s been a lot of fun. I love the whole premise of “getting the best of a bad situation” and learning to pass on with any mistakes and misfortune. Dealing with your inner perfectionist is a valuable skill and this game teaches you just that.
Seriously. Those are EXACTLY the thoughts I had after I was forced to deal with Python after a ton of time writing projects in JS.
I have a dedicated directory with subdirectories for each project and that’s it
I highly recommend checking out either Fedora KDE Spin or Fedora Kinoite! Both are great choices, especially if you want to leverage the power of Flatpak for app installation, as they both push the user towards it. Additionally, if you ever need to install .deb packages, you can easily do so using Ubuntu in toolbox.
Alternatively, EndeavourOS might also be a good fit for you, providing a user-friendly Arch installation with a rolling release system. You’ll have a modern and flexible environment while still being able to use Flatpak effortlessly. You can also install distrobox there to, again, use apt inside of an Ubuntu system.
Whichever you choose, you can’t go wrong! Happy tinkering and remember that the best way to choose a distro is to try it out.
I’m just using Arch in my toolbox. Can’t run into upgrade troubles if you run a rolling release system

There are quite a lot of clients for that, actually. Just search for “Youtube Music” on F-Droid and you will be presented with a myriad of choices. My personal favourite is Metrolist.
