Since we're talking about it, and I really like the guy's work, I figured I should say who coined it! Author, Cory Doctorow! He has a blog where he (among all the other stuff he writes about) defined the word, and wrote several articles about it.

pluralistic.net

Okay, but openai was open source once. And then they just didn't change their name when they changed their licenses. Which I actually think is more dishonest.

Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there's a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?

I run into lots of websites where all I think is "this can't possibly be a human writing this, right?" All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.

Using fish (shell, not emulator) gets you some of that.

I haven't played the new one, but I'm also a heretic who enjoyed Agents of Mayhem quite a lot. I've almost 100%'d it.

I also played SR:4 and Gat Outta Hell. Loved 4, never quite finished Gat Outta Hell.

My main gripe with the new Saints Row? It was a FortniteLauncher™ exclusive. I won't buy it until it's on a deep deep sale on Steam. I chose Linux, and they support my choice. Exclusives aren't good for an open market, and I hate what Epic has done so brazenly to young audiences with predatory monetization, intentionally addictive systems, and dark patterns.

Because if you can operate without one, life is so much better.

Cars ruin cities.

I quite like what Cory Doctorow has to say about it. (Author of Little Brother, coiner of the term "enshittification" (and much much more obviously))

I really like antennapod. It works really well for all of my podcasts.

Weaker copyleft. Doesn't guarantee freedom the way GPL does.

If someone were to make a proprietary derivative using the MIT licensed code, that would be allowed. Their source code changes aren't required to be shared and licensed under a FLOSS license.

GPL on the other hand, guarantees (legally, not always in practice) that any derivatives are to be licensed the same way, so they must remain FLOSS.

Fennec, it's a type of fox in the real world, and it's a perfectly fine fork of Firefox.

And Firefox for android is great, leaps and bounds better than the Chromes and Chromiums that many people use. Firefox for android allows you to install browser extensions!

I never have to leave home without my µBlock Origin again.

I'm an RSS newbie, but I need to +1 Feeder. I tried a handful, and it was easily my favourite from the get-go.

It's an excellent choice.

Just so you know, everything in that link after ?si= is purely tracking information so Google can know who you send links to, and when they open them.

This is likely the most asinine thing I hear on a regular basis. Speed limits exist for a reason. If driving the speed limit actually created a hazard, rather than simply creating an annoyance for someone who is willing to drive recklessly to shave a few seconds off their trip, you might have a point, but you don't.

The only circumstance where it creates a hazard is if everyone else around them is speeding, in which case, the people who are speeding are creating the hazard, not the person following the laws, you know, the ones that are there to enforce safety on the roads.

Yes, it would be best to make requests directly on GitHub.

What you said about YaST, I 100% agree with.

I distro hopped a lot.

Mained Manjaro for a while... but now that I've found OpenSUSE, I'm not going anywhere. The convenience and polish YaST has is unbelievable.

Tumbleweed has been on my main machine for 3 years now? I also have OpenSUSE "Kalpa" installed on my TV box, and Leap on a laptop.

I dabble in NixOS, but Tumbleweed is my true love.

Depends on the size of the home I suppose. Tiny bungalow? Yeah, a little weird. Three-story? Not weird at all IMO.

No, just go try it.

There's 6 days left on the EDF Humble Bundle.

Yep. Sounds like you can't really operate without one. :(

That sucks. I'm sorry.

DOOM 2016 on Nightmare (not ultra)

Does anyone know what the new

?si=1gfyLNXsB0DtB0xC

Metadata actually represents or does?

I noticed it being added now, after I updated(?) my Revanced build.

But I know it's not necessary for the link to work.

Yeah, I figured it was tracking.

Very cool. Had I not just installed (ublue) Kinoite, I'd probably be trying this today. I'm a chronic distrohopper, and this looks very cool.

Truly a person of refined taste.

  • Red Rising
  • Golden Son
  • Morning Star

All narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds, and he's AWESOME.

THEN also

  • Iron Gold
  • Dark Age
  • Light Bringer

Also narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds, but there are also more voiced character in these, so there's more variety, and it's great.

I really like Red Rising.

I've been extremely interested in anytype for some time. It does however use a proprietary license, which can stymie growth and community involvement.

Alt-right playbook is, and always will be incredible

This is what I use too! I was going to link to mlauncher in response to this comment.

Great minimal app, does everything I need. I like the simple swipe gestures a lot.

Makes sense. Only consoles I have are the switch, and the best console (because it's not a console), the Steam Deck.

Very cool!
