We all had experience with ads showing up after we talked in person with someone about topic. I don't need some random person ir media telling me something obvious is happening. And for some time already.
It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.
When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.
So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don't see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.
Those are only .md files, I guess any text editor will open them.
Yeah, no reminders and tasks, but notes should be accessible from anything and git can sync it. Never tried it, but text files were the reason I choose zim in the first place. I want it simple.
Same. Perfectly simple to start, and you can build from there.
I just dump stuff if I not in the mood to organize it.
Zim Wiki https://zim-wiki.org/
Desktop wiki, saving to .md text files, can commit to git repo and has basic task handling.
Perfect for me.
Zim can be used to:
Keep an archive of notes
Keep a daily or weekly journal
Take notes during meetings or lectures
Organize task lists
Draft blog entries and emails
Do brainstorming
"real wierd vibes" is very far from "transphobia".
I fail to see how is traing AI on publicly available images hurting small artists?
You don't have to write if you don't have time, link to explanation is good for me.
I basically use generated images in places that would not have any ilustrations before. There is no budget. When I have money for an artist I hire an artist.
It almost like a bot is posting this sentence every time SerenityOS is mentioned.
Using "he" insted of "they" is not enough to call someone transphobic or misogynistic. It's like you become fascist and are targeting people for one different opinion. Which is not even true.
There are real problems transgender people are having, ladybird browser must be low on that priority.
I see it just as extension to "cancel culture" in IRL society. Nothing complicated just same stuff pushed from media comes to the web. Much helped by algorithms that are supporting it.
It is not only reddit, whole public internet is just an echo chamber, with no critical opinion allowed.
Every topic in current society (at least Europe+North America, I don't know what's happening in the rest of the world) is either black or white and no in between. Very scary place we are in currently. And people put you in some category just based on one sentence, one though, one idea.
I don't see anything special here or on reddit that is not happening in other parts of our society.
Maybe fediverse is so clean you can see it happening live, just look at any defederation request and what they think of different opinions. Different opinion is forbidden. I never thought we will ger to this point, I believed internet will give us freedom of speech and freedom to discuss. But so many topics have become dangerous.
It is still young and underdeveloped.
It is advertised to be simpler, but I don't understand any of this words thrown in this thread. And I don't care. Pulseaudio and pipewire is still making me troubles, even thou alsa worked without issues for me.
Point it, make it clear and stable and we will come. Until than we will use the beast we know. It os mich easier when there are no options, but Wayland is fighting something that exists and it takes time and effort.
Another problem is they pushed it to early and people got burned. Until I start seeing "I switched to Wayland in one command and everything works" I (as a user) will not touch it (unles my distro decides to drop X).
First ever, I think was
First on personal computer was probably "Football Manager" on C64: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3zs7PB-QQ
Firts on x86 was "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" https://youtube.com/watch?v=EGoFwc_EgZM in school.
But first ever was probably some arcade, I would love to know which one was first contact. Never even though of it. Tetris, or Operation wolf, or Donky Kong.
This things are also some of first: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PNZ6DUEzzeA and https://youtube.com/watch?v=T0HovHcgM1g
Woow... you time traveled me far in the past. But I don't know which one was first :(.
But within artificial sweeteners, which might be even worse for our health than sugar.
The only carbonated drink without caffeine, alcohol and sugar is non alcoholic beer.
It is really great, just find one which after taste does not bother you (most have some sweet aftertaste) and drink it cold. It is great drink.
Part of those EV are lithium mines being pushed on developing nations.
People in Serbia are protesting for the last two years over very poisonous lithim mining project planned in the green, healthy and fertile land.
While they claim "biggest lithium mine in Europe" and "supplying 90% of EU needs", they forget to say "current needs" and that it will have lithium for maybe 1 milion cars per year. EU has 250 million cars. In 10 years 10 million cars which will all need new battery.
So they want to destroy beautiful nature, to poison huge part of agricultural land, for 10 million EVs. That will, in bast possibile scenario reduce CO2 by 0.5%. Cars are 20% of CO2 emissions in EU. EV have, at best, 50% less CO2 emissions in 10 years of use. So 50% of 10/250 part of 20%... that's miserable.
Serbia gets 3% of lithium sales (that would be equally miserable few millions per year). That's not even enough for dealing with accidents that might happen with thousand of tons of sulfuric acid needed for mine.
Serbia is not part of EU and does not have money to buy EVs, nor has clean energy capacity to make good use of those EVs.
Here is published scientific report: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-68072-9

It is truly upsetting to see how complicated for use password managers are.
I grow up around computers and I can barely mange them. Other people just don't understand how to use them, it is complicated and inconvenient. Even after I set them up and show them multiple times, friends don't manage.
In browser password managers cover 90%, but I guess web sites and apps need to start testing UX for password managers. Some of them introduce stupid flows that brake all of them.
Android is complete shit show.
It is not users, but applications and UX that doesn't care about security.
I don't have solution for videos, but I am moving back to podcasts and rss as much as possible. I want to be ready when they finally forbbid watching without ads.
But I must admit content creators are not helping, content for most of them become just job to be done with. I am aware it is not their fault and that yt is pushing them, but content is geting worse.
It is hard to compete with platform that is loosing so much money. They will also buy anyone who tries. Maybe if we start being satisfied with one resolution and quality, but that will never happen.
Not only that, I am certain Google will put as much money as needed into it not to allow any competing platform.
YT is not profitable, but gives them data, power and control.
I just need it to mute and unmute it. Maybe also put black mask over video.
This is news from September and linked blog post from December. Nothing happened.
Can you elaborate, please?
