Im with Kagi on this. Wtf is wrong with someone sending you emails to an email you decided to make public. This person is projecting how fragile their argument is by reacting this way.
Vlad was doing the right thing discussing it in private first before they probably address this stupid attempt at causing drama. I read all of the shit they posted and it sounds to me like they are nitpicking/strawmanning AI features which are very VERY optional.
Last July, San Jose issued an open invitation to technology companies to mount cameras on a municipal vehicle that began periodically driving through the city’s district 10 in December, collecting footage of the streets and public spaces.

As the title states, I have used Nova launcher for years. As it is the most feature rich, most customizable launcher that supports basically everything I could need from it. However I am looking to switch away from it....
I went from Nova > Lawnchair Beta > Smart Launcher and its been amazing. Subscription based but I bought the lifetime version for $20 cause its that good. Lawnchair is basically MIA and Nova sold out to advertising/tracking.
Not sure if Smart Launcher is okay in that aspect but it is packed with features and still being updated. All the options outside of these three arent good imo and I would rather use stock.
Qt all the way. Funny thing is that if you choose to use GTK on Qt it looks decent but god forbid you use Qt on MacOS Gnome you have a terribad experience.
Arizona. I plan on evacuating California too and Arizona is the most decent close place I have looked into. Vegas has already become too expensive unfortunately.
The thing that everyone complains and deters it for is the heat. We have had heat in California thats in the upper 90s before and I survived so I will take my chances. Good luck escaping California.
YouTube is no longer showing recommended videos to users logged out of a Google account or using Incognito mode, making people concerned they are being bullied into always being signed into the service....
Dont forget to mention getting unrelated shorts shoved down your throat everywhere. I seriously deleted my decade old youtube channel over this. Fuck Google.
Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a FOSS editing app to use on PDFs, just to add text and and mark things out, I tried GNU image editor but it just works on images exclusively. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.
Another vouch for Xournal++ here. Never in my life have I been so frustrated with software until I was asked to sign a pdf. I also learned this is the entire reason Docusign was created.
Forget editing any wording yourself either unless you want to spend forever fixing the formatting. The ultimate software as a service is paying to edit a fucking document. When I found Xournal it was like finding gold in the ocean as it was seriously the only decent option on Linux.
Deezer is still great because you can upload personal music to your account and I find they have alot more music available than every other service Ive tried.
Not to mention they pay the artists better and hifi is automatically included too so. I went from Spotify > YT Music > Deezer and I am very happy. The UI is not as bad as everyone makes it, imo the icons are just a little uglier in some places thats it.
I understand that modern outer layers are more functional. A leather jacket, for example, can be dressed up or down so as to be worn in a variety of situations. It is also better at keeping you warm....

I got myself a valve index, as I’ve heard that it works well on GNU/Linux (I use Debain 12 with GNOME). Turns out, there were a bunch of hurtles. At first, my cable was just broken, so I needed to get that relaced. Later on when I got the cable, Everything worked fine, but nothinig is being displayed in the headset. The screen...
Listen, ill be real with you, its basically unusable and unreliable in most scenarios. The technical reason for this is due to Wayland vs X11 and other underdeveloped display technology. Normal gaming just got good enough after years of work. And before anyone tells me that the Index does work on Linux, it sure does just not well at all.
I have since sold my Index but when I used it, 80% of it was on windows. Be on the lookout for something called the Valve Deckard. I believe thats when Linux VR will finally be ready.
I would get a brand new headset from valve if I were you cause its going to be worth more to sell all of your stuff as a complete set in the future if you need to vs an old vive with that stuff.
Would only cost you a hundred more than you bought the used one for and its worth it cause Index is still the best VR experience you can get at the moment imo.
Oh damn yeah it must not be available in your country right now sorry. I just assumed if it was available for us mericans it would be for everyone else :(
I don’t use Twitter, I mainly use it for casual research. Before I would use nitter, but ever since its shutdown I couldn’t find any alternatives. Is there any way to browse Twitter without creating an account?
Twitter didnt force signing in before muskrat owned it, sure they definitely made it annoying but it was possible. Ever since the takeover Ive left and never looked back. Well I actually tried to look at stuff but its now incredibly limited to just viewing individual tweets.
Twitter isnt that important and there are better alternatives being worked on right now that you should give your attention to. Similar to how you came to Lemmy instead of Reddit.
