I guess the answer to this is feeding the LLM generated content to another LLM and telling it to summarise it

> Probably someone who never confuses “empathy” and “sympathy” while also carefully distinguishing between “should” and “ought”.

What do you mean by this?

I've been hearing about this since the late 90s.

> If you want English to be more like Hungarian, start inserting Hungarian words into sentences otherwise written in English

I've been doing something like this with Finnish (which is in the same language family as Hungary) - I use Finnish colloquialism but directly translated into English. Things like "going ass first up a tree" (meaning doing something in a sub-optimal way) or "better on the ground than in the devil's mouth" (when you spill something). I find it amusing.

The author is right though, the English language is dreadful; In Finnish the words are written and pronounced the same way. Try that with some names of cities or towns in England.

Does this offer any benefits over Tailscale and having an exit node at home?

Do any of these forks have the ability to sync, either with Firefox or something self hosted? Or are they all just basically reskins with a single toggle added or such?

I've been using Tabby on MacOS but Kitty looks neat, I'll give it a go. Thanks for mentioning it!

I'm autistic and get mistaken for AI all the time. At first I was annoyed but now I feel like it is adorable.

> Rather than having flow and concentration interrupted by incoming message notifications, with email I can easily decide when to fetch and process messages.

But emails also notify and therefore interrupt. If you want to turn notifications off in your email or only poll new mails when you choose you can also mute notifications (or turn on dnd) or close the chat app.

Email sucks for chat like communication. It is great for long detailed messages. Having both is the best of both worlds.

I have work email and personal email. I have work chat (Slack) and personal chat (WhatsApp with friends, Keybase with my partner). Choosing which chat app is also a great tool for making sure I am dealing with the right audience. I don't want to accidentally message my boss about stuff I send to my partner.

I am AuDHD and this is 80% my experience. I saw this post in the morning pondering if I call in sick or work because of insomnia and being unable to have the energy.

I commute to work by train and even though I have great headphones and listen to music on Spotify some mornings it just crackles in my ears. The audio is fine, but I'm extra sensitive sometimes.

At the office people are sometimes very loud. They are excited and having fun but when it goes over my sensory limit (which varies a lot) I become unable to do anything. Ears crackling with headphones means I can't shut their noise out either. And we're supposed to be social at the office but they talk about stuff I don't know what to say about.

When I get home I am beyond exhausted. Can't sleep because of anxiety or adrenaline or something. I just zombie out streaming series or movies while reading Hacker News, Reddit or Bluesky. I promise myself I'll go to sleep early but if I do I can't fall asleep until 2-4am. If I stay up until 1am I have better chance of falling asleep faster.

Weekends are spent catching up with sleep, wanting to tidy up and do side projects as well as gaming but most times I spend half the day in bed and then stay up gaming or something because it is my time and I want to do the fun stuff. Rince and repeat unless I get lucky and catch 10 to 12 hours of sleep.

I'm a 47 year old female principal engineer. I feel like I'm just drifting through the days and months. But I do live my work, the people and challenges. I just wish I could deal with everything better.

Thanks for making this game.

I've been a Gopher for over 8 years and a dev for over 25. I like asking LLMs for suggestions and improvements to my code. Sometimes they offer good insight, a lot of times they don't. No harm in testing!

I've pretty much ignored the various Reddit revolts. What drove me away from Reddit and Imgur was the constant spam of US politics. The recent Imgur revolt actually made the site better for me (after the middle finger spam ended) - political posts went from ~50% to less than 10%.

I am autistic. I use those words fairly often.
