Most of the Web GUIs are designed for interaction/collaboration between multiple people, and are massive overkill for one person. Tools like gitk/git gui are more than enough to see what’s going on graphically.

If you want to install all the other stuff, that’s completely up to you, but a lot of people don’t seem to realise that the Web GUI stuff and command line are completely separate things, and you don’t have to install both of them.

If you don’t need the web gui stuff (and you shouldn’t for personal use) you can set up a git server using gitolite. Very easy to manage

Hopefully Unity doesn’t disrupt your current project too much.

But yeah, I think this is the most extreme case of a company burning trust with their users overnight in recent years (worse than Twitter IMO). It’s especially bad because many Unity users/devs have their livelihood depending on Unity, so of course they are going to change once they get a chance. The risks of not switching now massively outweigh the risks of switching.

It will just take a lot of devs/teams some time to transition. Unity will probably go under in 2-4 years, they can’t recover from this.

I’ve played around with Godot a bit, and in my view it actually makes more sense than Unity. Probably has more limitations, but hopefully those can be overcome in the next couple of years.

Yeah, that’s basically why I got out of IT. Too many managers/clients refusing to listen to warnings about what would happen when they did X, then blaming the techies when things went to shit.

Because they are the “boss”, they have 0 accountability. Worst case for them is a golden handshake, and failing upwards where the cycle starts again.

I think they have some areas where they’re very useful, but beyond those areas they’re only OK at best. They don’t come close to living up to the hype, which is mostly based on “the next version will be mind blowing!”.

They are a new type of app, nothing more. New types of apps can be extremely useful, and make a lot of tasks easier, e.g. spreadsheets. I would say at best generative AI is as game changing as spreadsheets were, but maybe less.

The hype machine wants us to believe they are as revolutionary as the PC itself, or the car. In fact 10 times as revolutionary! I just don’t buy it… at least not in the foreseeable future.

Good luck doing one on one assessments in a uni course of 300+

Yeah, it’s a fricken nightmare… Windows is ok in a well managed corporate setup where all the crap is uninstalled

I bought a laptop recently which came with Windows. I was going to setup dual boot because I need Office365 for work… but in the end I just gave up, deleted windows and installed Ubuntu.

I hear lots of people used to using Windows saying “I tried Linux and couldn’t get anything to work”… it’s not that I don’t believe them, but I really struggle to understand it. Windows is so much worse!

Doubt it. Why do you think Reddit is broke?

That is the exact opposite from my experience. Winodws has always been unstable, slow, and requires rebooting and reinstalling often. Linux is none of those things.

spez is a Musk fanboi. What a surprise.

Reddit’s clearly in a death spiral, but I’ve been wondering if was going to go thru an “alt right” phase. Guess we know now.

Brutal dictators.

The cops are moving in with tear gas and rubber bullets…
