Commercial software can outrun open source temporarily but it rarely ever wins the race.

oh hell yeah

Oh this is kinda cool honestly

I read it twice and it still doesn’t make sense

How would they know? I assume they must track IPs used by popular VPN services?

Call me naive, but from where I’m sitting the old web we all love is not only still there but getting better every day with inventions like ActivityPub and the fediverse. The Google feature listed in this article is stupid but it only affects Google users.

Google and Meta and Reddit etc, have built their own walled gardens garbage dumps, but if you look at what’s left when you remove their worthless fluff, all of the good bits are still there and getting better. Just because the Good Web doesn’t move at the breakneck pace of silicon valley VC-funded startups doesn’t mean it’s not improving every day.

Excited for the official KDE Distro. I am a big fan of Fedora Kinoite but will probably give KDE a show once it is out of beta.

No Photogimp is not enough lol

They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet anyway,

I was basing it off the top comment here which said “They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet” (which isn’t E2E) but it looks like that person might have just been talking out their ass anyway.

Honestly? I would probably pay for a GIMP clone that has a photoshop-like UI and can be installed via flatpak. $70 is a little high but if it was $20 and received regular updates?

what is it

The open source version isn’t E2E encrypted fyi

Nothing stopping you from making a post when you see a service on sale!

It seems to be implying that SoCs will soon become so fast and efficient that they will always outperform custom builds in every category including price.

There’s an argument to be made there (not saying I agree).

Honestly kinda what I was suspecting as well. Every time I see an “AI is advancing rapidly” take without actual examples of what it can do I wonder how much of it is a degree of psychosis.

Not that I don’t believe you but do you have a source for any of that? Specifically about the development timeline of the “cognitive harness”?

PC Gamer is just reporting on the original story from the Register, and the quote is real from the maintainer of the stable branch.

Bazzite has been a fantastic living room gaming PC for me. Even when I have to switch to desktop mode I can still control the mouse and type using the on screen keyboard. I can count on one hand the times I’ve used a mouse and keyboard in the past year and most of those times it was just because it was more convenient for what I was doing.

That said I’m still excited about Plasma Bigscreen for an always on media watching device that allows me to unplug my TV from the network.

It’s also a pretty big exaggeration of what actually happened which is that it generated and posted some technically inaccurate information.

Thanks for pointing out that Plasma Bigscreen is getting an official release! I tried the AndroidTV for Raspi but encountered too many bugs, specifically CEC isn’t yet working.

Sad to say but my current recommended TV OS is… Tizen. I have TizenTube for YouTube and Plex/Jellyfin apps for everything else.
