Not to offend anyone but those apps still look and feel like QT apps. Not particularly pretty

Import control would only affect US? Also good luck sending armed men to China.

Very nice, hope they can get it working.

> Has KDE committed not to hard-depend on systemd in the future? I would be glad to discover that.

I was reading somewhere some KDE developers were saying that while some of the components (like plasma-login-manager) might depend on systemd, the core Plasma will not. They're the only major DE remaining on FreeBSD after all.

While I think systemd is a great init system (as well as some other components under the systemd umbrella), I really dislike when components up in the stack hard-depend on it. We can't use GNOME, plasma-login-manager, and soon Flatpak without systemd.

Maybe systemd should have been an API + a spec instead of an unportable implementation.

Looks like some of the features might use on-device models. They mention subtitle generation works on-device.

This looks like a genuinely useful application of LLMs.

I wish more companies focused on how they can help humans instead of replacing us or squeezing us as hard as possible in the name of productivity.

This should be the top comment in the whole thread. AI is not the point, the PR is just not of a good quality.

Same on my Framework Desktop. Looks like it works only with a limited number of TPM chips for now.

For a someone looking to switch from a M-series MacBook to a Thinkpad, which one would you recommend? Preferably not of a diminished quality, so I can daily-drive Ubuntu without missing Apple.

I’m wondering why most FOSS projects choose Codeberg which is another (although FOSS aligned) centralised forge instead of something like this.

My parents didn’t monitor what I was doing on the internet when I was growing up in 00s. I saw a lot of shit and wasted a lot of money on GPRS and WAP portals. I learned from my mistakes and I’m glad I did. I wouldn’t want to monitor everything my children do either.

If they were happy with using an existing browser engine, they wouldn't be writing one from scratch

I do want C++ to be a safer language, but I don't think inheriting the Rust safety model is the way to go. It is in a way revolutionary but has major downsides like inability to deal with cyclic data structures without clumpsy workarounds.

I don't want to play with a plastic sword, just put it in a sheath.
