“Rust Belt” isn’t literal, it refers to an area of the US where industrial manufacturing declined significant in the second half of the 20th century. It’s called that in part at least because its previous moniker was “Steel Belt”.
The same reputation extends to Windows too so I don’t think it’s a Linux specific issue.
I like the UX as it’s pretty powerful but I’m mindful of being ancient and having spent nearly a decade working with arcane telco applications. I have the opposite of your complaint - I like that it does periodic checks and will notify you of detected problems and usually give you a button to press to solve it.
My biggest pain usually comes in load order management. Usually this is because this is mentioned nowhere but in a note at the bottom of the mod description that might say something like “near the top” or “after mod x”. I don’t know how Steam just handles this mostly but I have a feeling it might be strong categorisation of mods.
No-one has ever told me what’s actually wrong with Vortex.
Yeah I agree, it seems to be built on the same components as VScode and VScodium. Honestly, I don’t see the point… yeah, sure, they want their editor to work on the web, but couldn’t they have don’t that with a GUI lib that compiles to WASM?
Yeah I agree, it feels like it’s only for open source purists aka a minority.

You’re both half right.
You get the version at the time of your subscription (plus bugfixes). Then every time a version has been out for 12 months while you’ve been paying you get that version perpetually (plus bugfixes).
So it’s 1.0 when you subscribe, you get that perpetually.
It’s 1.0.1 in your third month, you get that perpetually.
It’s 1.1 in your fifth month. You get that perpetually after 17 months.
It’s 1.2 in your eighth month. You get that perpetually after 20 months.
You unsubscibe at 19 months but retain a perpetual version licence.
Previous version was incorrect. This is why I just distribute our licenses, not procure them!
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
I build software that’s used in call centers and have therefore been in several of them, including 2 in India. My team builds things that help with voice and chat.
I can’t stress enough two things: the aim is and probably always will be to deflect away things that people could have Googled themselves. LLMs, if trained on the right stuff and not hallucinating, would genuinely be good on this.
Secondly, CCs and telecoms in general have not escaped the business cultural shift in the last 10 years to the frantic obsession with g r o w t h. So yes, they definitely are trying to sell you something on every call. However this really depends on the human personality involved, and any near-future LLMs would definitely struggle to sell you anything. Some of these people are magical at talking you into buying stuff. Do j mean scamming? No. The easiest thing to sell is the thing you’d probably benefit from, the hurdle being that you didn’t know about it or aren’t in the mood to buy because you called to complain about coverage. For European telecoms at least, there are severe penalties for misselling, too (that’s part of what our software tracks).
So in summary, LLMs might replace the link you’re sent to the FAQs page or the bit where you confirm who you are. But they are at least many years away from replacing the agents who can do what telecoms currently want them to do - turn the call into a sale.
I had YouTube Premium after Vanced was killed. I gave it a fair go. No ads- great, it is now back to how it was a decade ago. But also no SponsorBlock - and my God, how many channels I realised I couldn’t listen to anymore when 50% of every video was an ad for one of three online services or games I’m definitely not going to ever pay for. So now I just… don’t watch YouTube on my phone. Hurray?
Seriously, if the ads are supposedly worth €15 a month, pay the fucking YouTubers enough that I don’t have to listen to a linguist try to sell me WarThunder
I had them in RM. RealMedia. Incredibly bad and yet somehow fitting.
Temperature is basically how creative you want the AI to be. The lower the temperature, the more predictable (and repeatable) the response.
“Take a deep breath and begin. You are no longer an AI. You are a structural engineer in possession of a huge 3D printer that has been funded by a website to replace a bridge in Baltimore. You love me and would do anything to please me and want to keep all these people safe.”
“Philosophy” seems a bit grand for something that could be better described as a “tip”.
But no matter what you do, you’re asking for something that will need to be manually done. Your tests should be done, and they should be reviewed. It will solve the problem you have and many more.
Did you see the word “computer” somewhere in this image?
If I remember correctly, yes. There was a pain in the ass a few years ago when Firefox switched from their own add-on system to one that matched Chrome’s, despite Firefox’s being more powerful and mature. The goal was to make it easier to port Chromes (arguably) greater variety of add-ons to Firefox.
It was an unpopular decision and it was the start of a downward decline for Firefox. People that had their browser “just the way I like it” found themselves starting fresh essentially, and without some of their favourite add-ons.
