    NO! NO, I WON’T HAVE IT!

    I will not give up my command line, obscure, non-obvious commands that control my machine!

    It is an abomination that I don’t have to search for, and then wade through hundreds of AI generated pages of useless information just to show me what services are running with systemd!

    I am seriously considering starting my own startup system. I am thinking I could initiate (init) runlevels to start subsystems at various stages. If anyone is interested, hit me up.

      Maybe you can script everything, with convoluted interconnections that are impossible to troubleshoot. Now that would be the way to control all the systems behind impenetrable obfuscation and keep those dratted normies from understanding anything.

      wade through hundreds of AI generated pages of useless information

      I personally find the best use of AI is to read those pages of useless information and summarise what I actually want to know.

      Google: " hugo, show total number of posts not including pages " = advertising, a billion pages of partially but not entirely relevant information that takes ages to wade through.

      Gemini: same question: Clear explanation and working examples in seconds.

      They’re both google, but one knows what I’m actually trying to say and doesn’t (yet) push advertising at me.
