Sure, in the year of the linux desktop.

I ran it daily like up to 4 months ago. Updates would regularly break hyprland and most games I wanted to play needed much more tinkering than on vanilla arch with the same dependencies installed.

omarchy is the new "i use arch, btw". I'm too altruistic (or dumb) to understand why you would pump money into a riced arch install.

In some way I feel people just try to buy into "street cred" on the other hand omarchy could be a great launchpad for a distro that is customizable, easy enough to use and may provide a great MDM solution at some point.

Not only this. I'm also shuddering at the thought of how much more noise this adds which can only be filtered through LLMs.

No, it only takes effect upon release. Before you're free to refund whenever you want.

I can verify this. I am autistic and german. The tests also said I am both.

This is acceptable. We now understand that privacy-focused solutions are not appropriate for individuals with average technological literacy, and we cannot depend on companies to self-regulate.

At present, the emphasis is on the potential of large language models (LLMs) and the related ethical considerations. However, I would prefer to address the necessity for governments or commissions to assume responsibility for their citizens concerning "social" media, as this presents a significantly greater risk than any emerging technology.

As someone who has recently begun exploring physical media, I find this quite disappointing. The volume on 4K Blu-Rays is often low, prices are high, and Netflix isn't doing much to support physical media.

When you're just unwinding in front of a 65-inch screen, you might not notice the quality loss from compression. However, if you're actively watching on a 110-inch projector with an excellent sound system, every little detail becomes clear.

And that doesn't even address the most frustrating part: owning less and less.

I mean, no one needs to become a physical distributor, but it's disheartening that we lack consumer-friendly ownership of entertainment media when it comes to movies. I would love to see something like Bandcamp, but specifically for studios to release their movies to.

It's not only about efficiency. When AI is utilized, things can become more personal and even more persuasive. If AI psychosis exists, it can be easy for untrained minds to succumb to these schemes.

Looks like the Graph View in RoamResearch.

This seems to be awesome.

I have so many meetings „that could have been an email“ but the thing is text has in my opinion a higher barrier to quickly and fluidly describe loose concepts and ideas. Every time I write an email or a message, I feel like something gets taken away.

But I think you have to be careful how to use this tool. If you just go ahead and start rambling, I think there is going to be a lot more noise than before and that’s what people usually do with voice messages.
