I think the equivalent is actually Amazon’s main website sharing to friends your Audible purchases in the hopes it can get you to join Audible

The layer of disassociation is present w/ humans speaking different languages too though, right? My point is that once we can understand each other, we are all building on what already exists

True, but w/ a caveat at the bottom:

At the end of the day, you have to remember that Apple devices are essentially a sealed unit. Any claims they make about privacy cannot be proven - they could slip tracking and keyloggers into every device, and unless you build a device from scratch and program it yourself, there’s nothing you can do about it. You have to trust that they won’t do that, and Apple is in a relatively unique position (particularly compared to google and facebook) in that the business isn’t designed to profit from this, so they have no real reason to do so.

This was actually the least-biased coverage of the day:

This post seemed to put things in context a bit better as it sounds like Google’s two-proxy hopping is what Apple does as well:

The difference (AFAIK) is that Apple’s business is less-centered around profiting off users’ data, so they’re less liable to use the data, while Google will almost certainly use the data.

Curious to hear more opinions. I think there are technical nuances that I don’t quite understand based on reading this comment (& subsequent replies)

they are appropriating what already existed and saying it in another way.

Isn’t this humanity in a nutshell? Standing on the shoulders of Giants, etc.

I quit my job to start the year and I’m currently doing a sabbatical year. I’m apathetic about the idea of eventually honing in on a specialty to learn when I re-enter the workforce because I’m unsure how sustainable the skills I learn will be in demand for.

The only thing I can think of is expanding my base level understanding of LLMs. My bet is that they will become the foundation with which future projects are launched in the same way that elementary school is the foundation for basic reading/writing/comprehension skills.

My limited understanding is that ARM usually is a lower priority for devs and so software is often harder to come by?

My personal hope is that people start to turn used desktops/laptops into servers.

Gotcha. Thanks for sharing. I ended up install forgejo yesterday but Gitea will be my next option if I encounter any issues

My impression
tldr/cheat: Explains most popular arguments using as little words as possible
man: Explains the entire command using a more technical tone
info: Explains the entire command in slightly more informal tone. Can feel wordier as a result, but on the flipside it connects alternative/related commands in a logical way

Yeah I like it over Mastodon as well. The UI/UX feels more modern. The only downside is that the majority of the Twitter-alternative fediverse is on Mastodon, so I have to run 90% of accounts through ‘search’ to follow them.

The article does touch on some of the main instance’s issues towards the bottom too I just found out.

I’ve used it for a few months. I enjoy the idea of updating my progress after each reading session, so that hypothetically, I can see how fast I read.

If nothing else, the article is great for a breakdown of the features of Firefish. I’ve been a user for 2-3 months and didn’t know a lot of the info covered.

On a related note, I was on firefish.social but it was very buggy for me after a while. Thought about throwing in the towel but eventually realized that it was instance specific.

I have since migrated to calckey.world (Calckey -> Firefish instance that didn’t change its name) and the experience has been buttery smooth.

It’s completely markdown which is future-proof and easily portable to other software

One thing that surprises me is the level of “aha” moments using the additional apps. Gwenview and Okular have so many power-user-friendly shortcuts that are intuitive. Lot’s of “Oh that’s nice but it would be perfect if…” moments followed by seeing the option in the settings and/or programmable via a shortcut key

Good to know. I will say as a colorblind person, it’s always a tad ironic because as a colorblind person, the filters don’t make things definitive. It’s still a bunch of random colors that I can’t identify lol

Depending on your privacy concerns, ChatGPT might be an option. Check YouTube for reviews and how to create a course outline

Proprietary so it’s a long shot but maybe start a convo w/ the creator of Boring Report as a last ditch effort perhaps.

I switched to Kate eventually myself. Using the KDE defaults where possible to reduce size encouraged me to do it
