  • Programmers already spend about as-much of their time, if not more, reading other’s code as they do writing their own.

    And how is this an argument in favor of AI code? If 5-10 percent of you job used to be writing code and now you dropped it by half, that’s not very effective of optimization. Especially if the code you now have to review takes more time to review due to it being generated by AI.

    and its clear you have negligible programming experience, or creative experience for that matter, to be coming after the concept of sharing code like-so.

    As someone with several years of experience as a programmer: fuck off with this elitist nonsense

    Tbh, China has had a huge debt and property crisis the past few years. The US Republicans like to complain about debt (which they primarily cause, but that’s a different discussion) but China’s debt to GDP ratio is 3 times higher than the US.

    A lot of this is brought on by all of the housing construction that China’s been doing the past couple decades to dodge recessions. Many Chinese families now own several homes, most of which are uninhabited, for use as an investment vehicle. And most of these homes have been bought with debt.

    The problem with China’s situation is that a lot of these homes are build in giant blocks in the middle of nowhere, creating giant ghost cities with almost nobody living in them. Plus these housing block are not made well, with improperly mixed concrete, so they won’t last very long, making them a terrible investment.

    Add the fact that China’s birthrate has plummetted below replacement levels, and the Chinese population is about to start quickly dropping, meaning there will be little demand for housing, causing any values these homes had to drop as well.

    China is in a “calm before the storm” style of situation at the moment, but in a few years it’s going to get bad










  • Bazzite supports Nvidia graphics cards, which is a major difference if it affects your hardware.

    It also uses the same kernal optimizations for gaming that Glorious Eggroll maintains for CachyOS, which I doubt SteamOS utilizes. It’s not a huge increase to performance and they slow down write speeds to disk as a tradeoff, but it’ll often get you a couple extra frames in games.

    Bazzite also uses Bazaar instead of Discovery as its application manager. They’re both based on FlatHub, but you might have slight variations in available software.
