I mean, the signs* are right there in the article

Heard some conspiracy folks mention negative frequencies from 5G and the like. It’s just a phase I guess…

Kind stranger; you made my day

How many flies does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

AFAIK they offer a way to port their OS to Android devices by re-using the drivers built for Android when building a SailfishOS image for non-native hardware. I personally wouldn’t call that “it’s mostly Android”, but that might be where we have different interpretations. Your initial comment came across as if it was a glorified launcher or a deGoogled Android. If I interpreted that wrongly, my bad. Cheers

Definitely not mostly Android. It’s their own Linux distro/flavour with an “Android compatibility layer” like Waydroid and (gradually open sourced) system components. Ubuntu Touch has a similar approach and I believe postmarketOS as well. I really hope that Jolla’s next community device brings them some more traction and subsequent development velocity. I tried installing SailfishOS on my Fairphone 5 but it is not (yet) a polished setup experience from first boot. If they can polish that, I think it’s a great OS to facilitate a gradual move from privacy-hell. It would allow absolute must-have apps to live in locked down Android compatibility mode while there’s no viable alternative and more and more of your data living in a tracking-free OS.

Ah, that sits at an interesting spot between collaborative Obsidian and classic Word. I only just noticed their other existing products but knew of CryptPad from earlier posts. I think it’s great to see these alternatives pop up so we don’t funnel ourselves into the next monopoly.

I’d sooner see them integrate with https://cryptpad.fr/ which is another (jointly) French funded project to provide a secure collaborative office environment. I think this French Visio mostly targets (video) conferencing rather than the entire office suite.

Can highly recommend Bazzite. You can install most applications and terminal programs no problem through flatpak/brew and config any well behaved package through settings files in your home directory anyways. If you really need specific system level packages, then it’s quite straightforward tinkering to setup a GitHub repo that builds a daily image for you based on Bazzite. If you break something, you just roll back to a previous build.

And for testing out new “live” packages: you can! Just make sure you don’t forget to persist them into your custom image if it turns out to be a useful addition.

I think I added just a handful packages on top of Bluefin (the non-gaming version) and it runs rather merrily.

Immutable sounds locked down, but to me it’s more like highly reproducible tinkering. Just keep your home dir clean ✨

There’s plenty more books/trilogies staged in the same world she built!

Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s Quest (Farseer trilogy 3/3). Devouring those on a holiday like I used to blaze through books as a kid!

Has to be the city organ, PWOOOOOAAAAAAAAAH

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check those out. Just as a personal nitpick I’ll look for one of their models with USB-C as opposed to micro-USB to be a bit more future proof.

And then you have a trained model that requires vast amounts of energy per request, right? It doesn’t stop at training.

You need obscene amounts GPU power to run the ‘better’ models within reasonable response times.

In comparison, I could game on my modest rig just fine, but I can’t run a 22B model locally in any useful capacity while programming.

Sure, you could argue gaming is a waste of energy, but that doesn’t mean we can’t argue that it shouldn’t have to cost boiling a shitload of eggs to ask AI how long a single one should. Or each time I start typing a line of code for that matter.

Cool! I’m glad more people are picking up Darktable! Ever since I switched the ‘image processing workflow’ to ‘scene-referred (sigmoid)’ my editing productivity skyrocketed. It’s way more intuitive than the filmic RGB module IMHO. How are you finding Darktable?

Good shower thought

Pretty sight for sure, but the editing is overdone IMHO

I guess if the need for more badges arrives you could always change the design or offer an option then.

Semantically it makes sense to put it after the community (ie crossposted from somewhere else) or after user who did it. I’d rather have this information in some shape or form in that location than that it’s shaped like a badge.
