+1 for Zen. It's got a lot of Arc's neat UX but without all the AI garbage.

You think that the Distrowatch.com-published ranking of page hits per day on Distrowatch.com is not useful for seeing what visitors to Distrowatch.com are looking up on Distrowatch.com? Fascinating.

Reminds me of the Playdate

We are not saying the same thing. I said something completely different.

> There appears to be a lot of calls for nuance here.

I see no calls for nuance, just calls for Valve to reduce slop visibility or to provide a simple way to ignore slop. A filter for games made with AI is probably all that most players want. Perhaps some folks would find value in more distinctions (say, separate tags for AI art assets vs AI code), but right now Steam Next Fest is drowning.

Why not just make an iPad dock to use the device you already have? The Pixel Tablet with its magnetic docking station was the perfect form factor for this. Home control tablet when docked, and simply lift it off the dock and take it around the house for whatever.

The main thing I'm taking from this article is that (editiorialized) "AI is a tool like a drive-through is a tool for cooking."

Cops in a nutshell

+1 for Tangara. It's kind of underpowered and crashes sometimes when doing too much at once, and I wish the scroll wheel felt a bit better, but hey it's all open source and I made some mods (printed a case, added some resistors to lower the noise floor).

In general terms, set up a seedbox VM that is configured so it can only access the internet through Tor/VPN. Join a private tracker (I recommend IPT). Only allow file transfer one-way to your NAS or whatever, then use something like Jellyfin to pull from that.

> If anything AI generated menus are likely to lift the quality floor.

The consensus among my peers and clearly the people in this article is that badly-designed or templated menus are perceived to be of higher quality than AI-generated menus. This is clearly not universal as business owners obviously don't seem to mind, but business owners are not especially known for having good taste in design and those of us who do find these AI menus atrocious.

I can see the 2040 study already: “Schoolchildren who did not use AI in primary school show higher outcomes”

We should invest in solutions outside of Microsoft for games. Even if Microsoft comes out with XboxOS, and even if somehow it isn't terrible, it will eventually be terrible and will enable companies to continue to do anti-consumer B.S. like what Ubisoft is doing here.

It’s more specific than that: “You know x is good based on if the worst people hate it” which I agree with the author is an extremely useful argument.
