    I use:

    • DuckDuckGo
    • Neovim
    • rusty dusty IdeaPad
    • Arch NixOS btw

    I don’t read man pages but I read documentation.

    Am I also a psychopath?

      I decided to try Cursor today (first time using any coding assistant) to refactor my sloppy NixOS config, and I’m really impressed to far. My config is so much cleaner and very well documented. It even has automated backups, a README.md, and CHANGELOG.md now!

      The cost has been ~$20 so far (I’m still tinkering with it).

      ETA: I also use Arch NixOS btw

      Edit 2: I asked it “how might I streamline my deployments a little?” It wrote some nicely polished scripts that use deploy-rs, and wrote some nice documentation for it.

      The script didn’t work on first run, so I added the console output to the context and asked “what went wrong here?” It debugged and fixed the script, and updated the docs.

      I think this has been the most frictionless NixOS experience I’ve had so far

    Yay! Cencorship! I spent an extra 3 seconds focusing on the word psychopath trying to figure out what went wrong instead of reading it like a normal word. Isn’t that so much better than offending an algorithm with the letter ‘h’?

    Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

      That tracks. The AI push is extraordinarily premature. It makes sense that capitalist idiots see mass layoffs as improvement, but rational people do not.

    Is this supposed to be a joke or have we truly gotten to the point where … coding in a terminal via like hyprland or w/e, without relying on an what is basically an annoying tutorial character from a video game that acts as an assistant…

    This is psycopathy?

    Having actual competence in one’s field?

    Oh god we’re all doomed, they’ll soon be alternating between worshipping us demigods, or burning us at the stake.

    EDIT:

    Welp, I’m sure thats a good sign, lol.
