an ambitious version of a note-taking program might be one that comes in pieces that you then put together by explaining to an AI what type of program you want, adding only the features you want and ignoring everything else

its always been a problem for me that ive never been able to find something that works exactly how i want, so i just put up with whatever is close enough, like obsidian for example. its probably because note taking is just a very personal thing so everyone is going to have different needs, and the amount of options out there is kind of proof of that

from the point of view of a developer, an AI would help with the complexity of a program that has every feature under the sun, and for the end user ian Ai would help the complexity of having to put all those modules together and making them work well

obviously each person could just vibe code their own program right now but each one would be starting from scratch. it would be more efficient to start with the same modules that have been tried and tested and then piece them together into something more standardised

i would love if this was a thing for most software actually. photoshop for example has only a dozen features that i ever use and the other 1000 features are wasted on me and just mean a longer startup time and a larger install size, but also i dont want want an AI to make me a custom version from scratch because you would probably spend more time trying to iron out all the weird bugs in it than actually using it

one needs an internet connection and a huge amount of energy to run, the other doesnt

theres an unofficial version of freetube on the f-droid store as well. the UI isnt great for small screens really but you would probably have any eaiser time transferring the settings and subs between devices

they wont work on android though. thats the main reason i started using more TUIs myself. i needed to be able to run a bunch of python scripts on linux, windows and android/termux. or if any of the linux phones ever matures, or sailfish, then the same scripts will run thereas well, probably without any modifications needed

if all that happens is the car beeping at them then i would imagine that number will stay at 50%

no point really. if someone was forcing them to take this off the front page then they would probably just tell them to add that explanation to the thread as well

or just use a 4pt font and find a tattoo artist with a steady hand

sounds like a very efficient way for an indie band to lose all of their street cred at once

how would they compare over 10-15 years though. with one you are able to swap out the motherboard when you want an upgrade and with the other you have to buy a completely new device.

then when it comes to repairing broken parts they are on opposite ends of the scale where apple actually go out of their way to make it harder for you to do that and its probably more expensive as well since only apple certified repair shops have access to certain parts
