(non industry person, heads up)

We use logs to tell us what's wrong for a reason.

sometimes u can’t access logs easily, no? especially if something is real busted

Why would I want to scan a qr code on my phone to read shit on a tiny screen you could've just printed on the computers display?

phone usually stays on when ur trying to reboot and finick with stuff, whereas computer screen turns off. other alternative to keep a persistent copy i guess would be to print it out but that’s not eco friendly

Also this is gonna play out great in secured environments where cameras are a no no.

can’t speak to this but hopefully u can disable it?

Leave shit like this to the fuckers with no taste at Microsoft. Kernel panics are supposed to be verbose.

that qr code is massive, looks pretty verbose to me. idk i like moves to make linux more accessible. people are always calling for the ‘year of the linux desktop’ and then turn around and do backlash to try to keep things obfuscated and unfriendly to the average human, especially, again, where u can probably disable it if wanted. idk i guess im pretty critical of that tendency.

To be fair to both of these groups in my impression those are usually separate people. People definitely have different visions for what good design is here.

The thing that strikes me as bad is when Unix conservatives (for lack of a better term) actively resists features to support use in modern, bit-mapped graphics as opposed to 70’s teletype terminals etc. But that’s just a terrible position, not necessarily hypocrisy, assuming they don’t care about Linux as the kernel in a desktop operating system for people whose hobby is not configuring their computer.

this does explain quite a bit, thanks for the clarification

, where u can probably disable it if wanted.

these things should be opt-in, not opt-out. Opt-out is the way Microsoftism get (and have already gotten into) Linux.

looks like its opt in good news
