Huh? Last release is from three days ago and the last commit to SmartTube’s GitHub repository is two hours old.

Where did you read that the developer left?

if I do [like ads read out by the podcast host], I skip ahead.

That’s what Sponsorblock is for. :)

I can’t agree with you:

Saying she’s a lesbian because she enjoys sex with a man although not being attracted to the man or men altogether is similar to telling a trans woman she’s a man because she has a penis or an X and Y chromosome or whatever.

I think it’s wrong to use your criteria to determine if someone identified themselves “correctly” or not and we should be more supportive to the labels people feel fitting for themselves.

Your chicken sandwich example obviously is a hyperbole that doesn’t help this discussion. Practically nobody would honestly identify as a chicken sandwich but there’s a valid point in saying “I feel attracted to women and although I can get off by having sex with a man I identify as lesbian” as well as saying “I am a man feeling attracted to women, identifying as heterosexual and still I think a blowjob by a man would get me off”…

Yep, that’s exactly how it is for us. I really hope that our local district heating company get’s tfe shift to renewals done because CO2 prices are rising in the next years and district heating is expensive enough as it is…

“Like the steam era of old”? 🤣

What you’re describing is called district heating and is totally a thing in Europe. There actually are data centers in Europe that contribute to their local district heating grid.

Installing a new launcher? Just install it from the app store and then activate as your default launcher in androids app settings. It’s just that simple.

I know that feeling. I experienced it more than one time in areas of law I consider myself a little bit more knowledgeable than the average person. It’s just a slap to the face to try to discuss a topic that you know a little bit about with an AI.

The thing is: I am 100 % sure those people use LLM answer not out of disrespect but because they honestly believe that an LLM produces a better argument than they possibly could themselves.

Huh, I wouldn’t say, the article mentioned Codeberg as the developer of Librewolf.

It says:

An even more private (but still free and equally effective) version of Firefox is LibreWolf, which was developed on Codeberg, a German nonprofit.

To be honest this sentence doesn’t make any sense at all: Librewolf wasn’t developed, it is in active development. But it is true that it’s being developed on Codeberg, which still doesn’t convey a lot of information to the reader… I dont know if this article is very helpful at all…

I have two movie, one of them not exactly scary but it shook me up severely.

The second movie is more fitting, I think: The Colour out of Space with Nick Cage is a lovecraftian horror movie that, for me, was so scary I could only watch it in bright daylight because I wasn’t even remotely able to anticipate what would happen next. With most horror movies I kinda figure out the “rules” and the style of the movie so that I kinda have an idea what might happen next so I’m less likely to be scared. Not with TCooS: The movie is all over the place and drastically changes its style and tone during the story. It’s great though and Nick Cage is completely crazy and off the rails in his role.

Cultural Hegemony!!!

Ummm… Yes, Proton was already mentioned in this thread so I won’t repeat it. But I’m curious which problems you have with games on Linux or did you just repeat what was true 5 (?) years ago.

Don’t get me wrong: I tried gaming on linux when proton wasn’t even remotely in the pipeline and it was horrible impossible. When I first heard about proton I tried again and ran into issues with the first game I tried (Europa Universalis 4, the new Paradox launcher was broken at the time) so I jumped ship again. Then I tried again in early 2025 and haven’t looked back since then. There hasn’t been a single game I tried that didn’t work (although some games needed some tinkering but that’s where protondb comes to rescue). There is one game I’d like to play (The Crew 2) that doesn’t work because of it’s anti cheat. But apart from that: Great experience!

You see, I get where you might be coming from but maybe don’t way until 2032 and give it a try again?

Corps are run by people and people can run them with values. Our capitalist system encourages acting without values but it is not impossible to do so

It fits their business structure and values and of course there’s a good portion good faith on my end because I didn’t check first hand.

Yes. :)

That’s actually a very good point, thanks!

The prompt was bad: there was no option to vote for “a little bit of AI as a tool is not bad but don’t force feed it to me”.

I think there were many people who voted for “no AI” who would’ve voted for “a little bit of ai” if they had the option.

Well, I don’t know about that.

My swiss hoster just started offering AI and says that their AI infrastructure is 100 % powered by renewables and the waste heat is used for district heating.

You could argue that LLM training in itself used so much energy that you’ll never be able to compensate for the damage, but I don’t know. 🤷
