I always wondered why they haven’t been doing it from the start, seams like it is not as simple as I imagine.

People will take it, there is no other option and G is working hard not to allow another video platform.

Problem is ads they are playing are awful and loud. We will make way to silent them and black them out, it is not hard.

Bigger problem is content they are pushing is getting bad and is pushing creators into burnout. And I don’t want to see videos companies are creating, but want individual contributions.

This is news from September and linked blog post from December. Nothing happened.

It is, it has -9 points right now. While unpopular opinion, I agree with it if you like the content.

I use it, but I am trying to move to podcast and other platforms as much as possible.

Thing is you also stop sharing and commenting and engaging with other users. If it wasn’t useful they would pull the plug long ago, nothing technical is preventing them.

I remember, at that time, I was more worried about how admins in my local ISP spend their time than some far away company.

I think they are selling hardware on reduced price so they can make money on cloud services. And by spying and selling customer data.

The problem is that investors want to invest in data collection, not in making new hardware and service.

While being right about crypto being meaningless for some people (I guess there are people valuing hope in decentralized monetary system, even if it is misplaced.), you failed to mention that most of other industries are equally meaningless and good part of them are even harmful: fashion, fast food, industrial food, banking - in a way we have it, cars in current form(no need for this huge tanks)…

In comparation crypto is just wasteful and isn’t harming anyone.

I am using linux for 20+ years and don’t understand what they said. And I don’t even want to, I was using wine to run open source software before flatpak, when I need it once a year.

Maybe we should stop calling them adblockers.

I am not blocking ads I am blocking spyware and malicious scripts. I wouldn’t have anything against well behaving ads without js.

Also making it illegal is nit necessary, just don’t show me your content and exclude it from search results and we are good.

And it is always a question how they calculated handling of nuclear waste.

There are options, we can use coal and natural gas for on demand power to fill the gaps in renewables, we don’t have to quit all at once. New ideas for energy storage and comming around, some of them might be useful for small towns, others for remote places.

My GeoTIFFs do not agree.

I have the same recommendation, try slack out it really feets.

But I think it will be like Genie fullfiling your wishes - you don’t really know what you are looking for, but it might really suit you.

Slackware is obvious choice, exactly what you are looking for.

It was my first distro and I miss it a lot. Simplicity and stability are main selling points.

This is just what is visible to users/customers which is just top of the iceberg.

Real use of AI is in every industry and best use case is for jobs that were imposible before.

AI has been paying of for decades, it is used in all industries for appropriate tasks.

Now it is even better we are doing stuff no one thought it could be possible and advancing our work.

Perfect use case is for things that are simple to do but take too much time to be economical for humans (ex. counting products, plants, trees, cars, disease detection…) and using additional data to make better decisions.

Generative AI (for writing text, coding,… ) is of course no where close to being useful, but it can interesting to try. It is just a toy, expensive one, but still a toy.

I do not, please inform me, since as far as I know Firefox was always trying to be featurefull browser.

And you just need to find good non science fiction way to deal with nuclear waste.

And some ethical ways of aquiring uranium.

With all that calculated in, I am certain how much cheaper it is.

I agree, we need support for it in libreoffice and than other document editors.

We can not expect people to use codes, but editor that saves to it would be grat.

It is unbelievable we do not have standard document format.

Here is nice help for python software to determine XDG directories (and more): https://pyxdg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basedirectory.html

PyXDG contains implementations of freedesktop.org standards in python.
