IDK I think Wayland will be great some day. But right now we’re between x11 and Wayland an both options suck.

I’m just over here trying to record my desktop and take screenshots haha.

“it does not do that on purpose for security reasons”.

I understand the motivations here but my priorities do not align with this. Not once in my life has someone recorded my desktop without my permission. I support the idea of having a secure environment but its just a pretty bad UX in the meantime.

Dont take this the wrong way. I think Wayland is a good idea in general. I just wish there was something else to hold us over in the meantime and x11 isnt really that.

X11 and Wayland can unfortunately both be kind terrible.

It’s so important to differentiate between commercial LLMs and AI as a general concept.

Can confirm that Germany is cucked by fascists and only getting worse. AfD is on the rise and doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

I would agree in the past but in the last few years this site has doubled down on the silicon valley brand of techno-fascism and I just can’t read the comments without losing faith in “hacker culture” at this point.

I build cross platform desktop software professionally.

Because of this I have to use and pretty deeply understand the inner workings of every OS.

I can state as absolute fact that every major operating system including Linux is an absolute pile of hot garbage.

The difference is that macOS and windows are garbage on purpose. There were deliberate decisions to enshitify them for profit. They spent time and money making the OS worse on purpose.

On Linux most of the shitty parts were designed with good intentions but just kinda suck (Wayland for example).

IIRC Pipewire isn’t really designed for pro-audio / music production. So if you want to do these things, Jack is still kind of unavoidable.

He’s just giving mega chuds ammo for their flame wars.

99% of people are going to use Bluetooth headphones but insist they hear the difference.

data = vibes

Translation: when there is no one to harass we can’t look busy.

Better translation: we are just lonely and used to being able to pay people to be our friends.

InB4 the FBI finds a random trans person to blame/frame for his death.

I appreciate the sentiment but I’m afraid this is a much too nuanced idea for the masses to understand.

I think it depends on your app I’m not really sure.

But it should be pretty safe to just post it here. If not I can give you my pubic key and you can encrypt the link?

I don’t care if the list has Karl Marx, Jesus and my dad on it.

Anyone on that list needs to be held accountable.

That’s a weird way to spell “celebrates”.

Human rights issues are not political. The attempt by the right to cast them as political serves to suppress discussion and progress by making the very act of discussing these things at all be seen as taboo. We can’t let that happen.

That point aside, libre software is pretty much inherently political.

How did you design this in a way that it would require a “substantial update” to swap out the API URL? It should be as easy as setting an environmental variable. There are many LLM providers and local LLMs that support the openAI API schema.

Can you expand on this Korea story? That’s not really making sense but I’m curious.

You may find a better answer in the distinction between “profit” and “exploit”.

Does GPL allow a corporation to profit off your work? Yes it does.

Does it allow them to exploit your work? In my opinion, no.

Compared to something like MIT which in my opinion lets them both profit and exploit you.

Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer by any means, just a GPL advocate.

Fuck :/

Yeah… I would also love to blame Monsanto but from what I understand it’s basically impossible to definitively say what caused someone’s cancer specifically.

It’s just the first instinct when I hear their name and “cancer” in the same sentence.

One thing we can be sure of is cancer sucks and anything we can do as a species to understand it better is more than worth the effort.
