Pretty sure that compared to NetBSD, Linux still runs on relatively few architectures. 😝

I do use it, but you are quite right I don’t tend to mention it unless asked.

Probably just ask it for the seahorse emoji or something idk

On the terminal yes.

On GUIs I generally use an IDE or VSCodium with vim keybindings.

die Grammatik ist nicht wirklich besser

Do you really think that you will get better answers on non-topical questions from these chatbots than from generic LLMs that are free to use anyway?

because when I wrote the above comment, around 80% or 90% of my lemmy homepage was just your posts, which felt kinda spammy

bro are you just mass-crossposting things from reddit or what? Those camel case titles aren’t really common here, you know.

OK, if it is intended mainly as a description of investors and other “business” enthusiasts, then I agree with fighting against what they want.

If I don’t know what that means I’m fighting against, I won’t be fighting against “techbros”, not even using that term. I might still fight against specific things they are doing…

I wonder if I’ll ever read a coherent definition of the term “techbro”. Aren’t most KDE (and other FOSS) developers also men interested in technology? If that isn’t the definition of “techbro”, then what is?

Right now I can access it. They seem to have a status page https://fhf-lemmyworld.instatus.com/ that says that earlier today there were some problems for approximately an hour? I don’t have more information than that.

If we’re going to wildly speculate, hey, isn’t this what we have AI for nowadays?

I asked ChatGPT: “give me ideas what the abbreviation WLBR might stand for if that is the name of a piece of image editing software”. Here’s the result:

🧠 Professional / technical-sounding

• Wide Layer Blending & Rendering
• Workflow Layer-Based Retoucher
• Weighted Light Balance Renderer
• Wavelet-Based Light & Blur Reconstruction
• White-Level Balance & Retouch

🎨 Creative / artistic branding

• We Love Better Retouching
• Wild Light & Bold Retouch
• Wavelength Brush
• Wonder Lens: Blur & Refine
• Whitelight Brush

⚡ Modern / software-product style

• WizLayer Build & Render
• WarpLab: Blend & Refine
• Web-Level Bitmap Renderer
• Workflow Lens & Brush Renderer
• WLB Renderer (treat WLBR as a stylized acronym)

🧩 Slightly abstract (like many real apps)

• Wavelength-Based Rasterizer
• Layered Bitmask Refinement
• Light Balance Reconstruction Engine
• Wideband Luminosity Brush & Retouch

🧠 If you want it to feel like real software naming

Most image tools (like Photoshop, GIMP, etc.) don’t strictly spell out acronyms anymore—they use:

• suggestive tech words (Layer, Light, Render, Brush)
• or abstract brand terms

So something like:

WLBR = “WaveLight Brush & Render”

feels believable without being overly literal.

(end of ChatGPT response)

Out of these, I think “Workflow Layer-Based Retoucher” works best. But interesting that ChatGPT thinks “GIMP” doesn’t “strictly spell out” an acronym anymore, or that “Photoshop” ever did?!

Is WLBR supposed to be an abbreviation for something? I realize it is a reference to the mascot Wilber, but apart from that?

Compiled code ought to be too then tbh.

As long as Google is doing a better job maintaining AOSP than a nonprofit would, what’s the point?

If they ever stop doing so, then this might be an option.

At the time vi was originally developed, such keyboards did exist (on terminals). That’s the reason it works the way it does.

since interface has been designed to be as unfriendly as possible

No, it hasn’t.

It (well, vi, which vim is a clone of) has been designed to be a possible interface on a keyboard that doesn’t have arrow keys or other modifier keys than shift. There aren’t that many ways to program a visual text editor when those are your constraints.

That it’s more productive once you know it is a side-effect.

It’s a fairly widespread Internet meme, I think in order to make fun of France, though I’m not sure exactly where it originated.

The main problem is that nowadays a lot of software is JavaScript downloaded when web browsing. And that might just be too demanding for ancient hardware if it was never tested on it.
