Or kick Canonical to the curb and use Incus instead: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/how-similar-is-incus-to-lxd/21430

I think I’ve seen people using this on Lemmy, but I’m not sure if it works: https://fedi.tips/is-there-a-reminder-bot-for-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

This happened last year and it was a 2018 CPU (APU?): AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE. It’s a low power 4 core hyperthreaded CPU/APU. Now searching the web for info I see that it was unsupported by Windows 11 from the time of release (2021) - see thread linked below. That means the CPU was a little over 3 years old at that time.

Some comments indicate that it may have been AMD’s own recommendation, but still. I was able to return the machine and got one that was compatible, but it was still an eye-opening experience that showed me that Windows was no longer like the old unrestricted Windows that would run on any PC hardware that could run any recent version of Windows, even if dog slow. Windows is now like MacOS with artificial hardware restrictions, so what’s the point of Windows anymore? I can have Linux for games and MacOS for any software I may need that’s not able to run on Linux.

I bought a used PC with a 6-year old CPU model only to find out that Windows 11 wouldn’t support it. That’s when I realized that the only advantage that Windows had over Macs in my opinion (aside from games) was gone.

Haha, yes, that’s my plan!

Make Microsoft Windows show filename extensions.

If people can code better, faster, cheaper, safer (more secure) that will surely apply to open source as well.

I’m not European, but I understand that there’s an old European (German?) saying that basically goes: “If I had wheels, I’d be a trolley.” I understand that it’s been pretty well-established that AI coding tools routinely underperform compare to humans in terms of “better” and “safer”, which indirectly would also lead to it failing at “cheaper” too.

On top of that, there is another major issue with using AI for open-source code: copyright. First, you don’t know if the code that you’re adding through AI may be copying license-incompatible code verbatim. Because everyone has access to open-source code, it would be trivial for anyone to search and find copyright-infringing code to attack projects with. Second, the code that AI produces is also not-copyrightable, so that is another line of attack that this would make open-source projects vulnerable to. These could be used in combination as a one-two punch combination to knock out an open-source project.

I think that using AI-generated code in open-source projects is a uniquely ill-advised idea.
