  Something I recently realised about why people still prefer Windows is that things like scheduled tasks and service management have UIs that are really decent and come right out of the box.

  The theoretically best systemd GUI tool I could find was only available through AUR and git. I know that’s a solvable problem, but it’s far from (Win) -> type:“serv” -> (Services) -> work.

  Ah yes because who would want useful free features? Not you!

    “Useful free features” like the entire OS and all the tools associated with it?

      Like AI built directly into a text editor.

        I’m beginning to doubt the accuracy of your username.

    If I wanted AI I could go to some shit website and use it. Just like I don’t want a “useful free” toilet in my car, I don’t want brain-damaging spyware in my notepad.

      1. But now you don’t have to go to some shit website, you can use it directly where you want it.
      2. It’s not spyware.

    People love free and useful features. Craming AI into notepad is now useful in the slightest. This is just one more unnecessary AI interaction platform in an os already chock full of them.

      So AI isn’t useful in the slightest? ChatGPT? Claude?

      You know you don’t have to use AI in it, right?

        So AI isn’t useful in the slightest?

        How is putting AI in a basic text editor useful? Or is this a situation where you are just defending the concept of the usefulness of shoving bots in every single piece of software possible?

        AI has some useful things it can do, but many more useless things, like just being shoved into something to try to mine even more of your data under the guide of ‘usefulness’.

        You know you don’t have to use AI in it, right?

        No, I just have to see the prompt every time I use the software just so lazy mouth breathers don’t have to expend the mental energy to go to another app to ask their mental pacifier to do all the hard work for them.
