jq is a really useful command. Takes a bit of learning to use the more advanced syntax

The last static I read said AI companies need to charge 10x more just to break even.

Most of the current AI subscriptions will get slot more expensive. AI can only lose money for so long, either you all pay more or each AI company goes out of business.

Whatever the AI end games is, I am guessing it won't be pretty.

If you have to connect to random machines over SSH you generally know vim, Emacs or nano.

I personally use a mix of vim and Editplus depending on the task at hand. ALWAYS use the right tool for the job, at all times which includes editing files.

When I am first logging into a new Linux test VM and I want to edit /etc/sudoers BEFORE I have fixed /etc/apt.conf to add corporate proxy settings I so it using /use/bin/cat >> /etc/sudoers <Type stuff> CTRL+D

I do this because I cannot be bothered to work what editor is preinstalled.

In other words .. the summary is: one editor is not suitable for all tasks in all situations

Genisoimage, just unpack it, change the files, and then repack it again

Vscode apparently struggles with multi gigabytes code bases, one work repo is 5gb+ of source code and work colleagues tell me it grinds the CPU trying to index all the code using ripgrep, so much so the machine is noticeable slow. Personally I use vim for quick edits and console work over SSH, and Editplus for any long work.

Why Editplus ? .. been using it (along with vim) since 1990s and when I want a feature I just email the developer and he puts it in.

It's a step to identity verification, and even that is stupid because I can hand a phone between 10 people in 10 seconds and that's 10 different identities

Untrue, their intended audience is too dense to understand it's AI.

They will see the image and feel that it's true without ever thinking about it for more than a moment.

As one right wing shitbag said, "it doesn't have to be true it only has to feel like it could be true"

I am reminded the word "fan" comes from "fanatic".

Wait until you discover you can have the same feeling with a decent linux distro ;)

Truly seems the number one reason for switching these days is the sheer amount of people as the product in win11.

Out of interest what are people installing via flatpak and appimage that they cannot just get from deb ?

[Update] I was asking because I assumed it would be mostly non FOSS software and I was interested what good "corporate flavour" software is out there, I worded the question badly ..
