Was still thinking that until I read this comment. Tiktok is unwatchable (I mean more than before even) because of this. Luckily longer videos are still hard to produce with AI

Pretty scant on details, something to move the stock price up a notch?

If I was to guess I would say we might get ai tools in the page builder interface next, urgggh

This meme made me feel better about myself. Been copy pasting from Stack overflow for more than a decade, vibe coding was a real step up for me.

Not quite there yet, still waiting on the holographic AI hardware design. Coming soon I hear.

Don’t tell my wife! I’ve been looking for an excuse to move her onto Linux for years. I’m the IT guy for our company and frankly if something goes wrong with Windows I’m stuck.

Her laptop “won’t work” with Windows after October, ok?

If you don’t open external files there is no problem? We paid for it and it does the mail merge so that’s what we use. Been looking for Linux alternative with the same functionality and no luck so far, LibreOffice is almost but not quite good enough. Nobody else does mail merge from spreadsheet?

Also I’m guessing it will be more secure on wine

I looked it up there was an issue with btrfs just after they started Linux version which was why I stopped using it. That was a long time ago you are right, seems to be resolved now.

If it’s anything like Linux desktop the apps you really need (for me, WhatsApp) are going to be available in 10 years. After that it’s a short slide to “if you don’t have Linux (why not?) by the way here’s how to install on android/iOS if you must.”

At least that’s my experience as an early Linux on desktop adopter. Yes Linux is a niche thing in mobile at the moment but the truth is the developers are the ones who make it happen and they are already there.

I have this exact situation with my wife’s work laptop, which can’t upgrade to windows 11. The requirements are pretty simple, something that runs Chrome and Dropbox as well as Microsoft Office 2007.

I’m going with Mint Cinnamon for her (I use arch & kde btw) - was pleasantly surprised to see Dropbox now has Linux support actually, haven’t looked at it for years!

Almost everything she uses her computer for runs in Chrome.

Yeah I was 100% Opera on desktop and mobile until they switched to chromium and broke everything from before. Still pissed about that, lost all my bookmarks and notes at one point.

Libreelec on raspberry pi 4 (Kodi) works for me but it really needs a new YouTube app. That’s the only issue really

What like OpenAI?

Deepseek api is down today - probably a result of their viral success recently…

I need this but 4G version…

Good one! I’m literally dealing with this right now on a server. Turns out you’re expected to deal with long running processes that spawn too many threads yourself, or else…

I ran it on my dual core celeron and… just kidding try the mini llama 1B. I’m in the same boat with Ryzen 5000 something cpu

So AdGuard works on the YouTube website. I haven’t been there for some time - I use 2 other methods to watch YouTube ad-free.

1. Newpipe - Android app that works by parsing the website, will probably be affected?
2. YouTube Kodi add-on - works with Google YouTube API, I was wondering when this loophole is going to be plugged…

Anyone with knowledge of the matter care to comment? So far my YouTube watching is still ad-free.

I also run pi-hole in front of my WiFi. Nothing gets through. Or will it?

I noticed some podcasts these days have random server injected ads - usually the same ad repeated 2 or 3 times, is this going to be my video stream soon?

Try pipepipe on f-droid

Pipepipe on f-droid is kept much more up to date in my experience. It’s a fork so basically the same

As a former Android developer, you can’t just do anything in an android app on a modern smartphone. The system is fighting you for resources the whole time. It makes sense to have something like this running as root on a device that you control.

Not that I’m sold on it, just saying…

AI models get more dishonest if you ask them to respond as if they were a pirate: https://www.circusscientist.com/2023/11/13/i-hired-a-pirate-to-take-orders-for-my-entertainment-business/
