  • Lol, if that’s true, maybe I should convert to Catholicism. Sounds good to me.

    It’s funny how much the right hates Christianity, while wearing its clothes and speaking its language.

  • Maybe, but it’s hard to know that. Something running in the firmware of a chip in an embedded device is harder to identify than something powering the whole device. There’s also no reliable, publicly available statistics on embedded OSes I could find. So yeah, Linux might not be the most common kernel for embedded systems.

  • I’ve heard people say things along the lines of “the Linux revolution never happened”.

    Utterly false. Linux is, by a huuuuuuge margin, the most popular OS kernel in the world. It’s the most popular kernel for mobile phones. It’s the most popular kernel for servers. It’s the most popular kernel for SBCs. It may be the most popular kernel for embedded applications, but it’s hard to know that. The only place it’s not the most popular kernel is desktops/laptops.

  • Can you imagine your grandparents trying to use Linux and then looking stuff up on their own and then doing something wrong because they don't know what distro they're on? Nightmare.

    My mom is in no way technically inclined. Quite the opposite in fact. (She’s in her seventies, so it’s understandable.) She's been using Ubuntu since 2015. My dad used to try to switch her back to Windows once in a while, and she’d yell at him that she hated it, then he’d switch her back. My dad finally came around a couple years ago after getting a Steam Deck, and now he uses Fedora.

    Funnily enough, since Ubuntu and Fedora both use Gnome, they have the same interface. I also use Fedora and Bazzite. All of these OSes use Gnome. They all have the same interface (when Bazzite is in Desktop Mode).

    So, really, I don’t know what you’re on about.

  • Literally everything? Hardly anything requires a terminal these days. The only reason tutorials tell you to use a terminal is because they don’t know what GUI you’re using. You can usually do the same thing in the GUI.

  • I live in California, so any place that sells alcohol needs at least one real cashier. A lot of places took that “at least one” to be an upper limit, not a lower one. For a while there, going into Albertsons was a nightmare. Twenty minutes shopping, another twenty waiting to check out because everybody had alcohol.

  • Any place that is replacing junior devs with AI is probably going to really regret it when they have no senior devs in a few years. Being a junior dev in a team is kind of like an apprenticeship. You learn the trade, but you also learn the shop. Then when the senior dev moves on, you have all that knowledge and can step into the role of senior dev. If a team decides to not have junior devs anymore, then they’ll have no one to take over when a senior dev leaves.

    So the answer is yes, it is already replacing junior devs, but that’s only because management hasn’t learned how bad of an idea that is yet. Ultimately, it will cost them more through losing foundational team knowledge.

    You also have to hold an AI’s hand the entire way through coding something, whereas you can kind of just let a junior dev go do their own thing, and eventually they’ll probably get it right. An AI “agent” tries to hold its own hand, but that doesn’t seem to work out usually when I’ve tried it. It starts making changes that are really bad, then just seems to always double down and eventually make a huge mess.
