What’s getting old is continuously asking for a Linux Drive client. I will keep on whining about it, probably until the end of my subscription.

So it is not sarcasm. As I, too, am getting old I just tend to repeat myself. A lot.

Mandatory “I want a Drive Client for Linux” comment. Why should I care about features I won’t be able to access out of a cumbersome web app without even a search tool?

Also, why should I since I won’t be renewing anyway.

You can also ask it when is the cutoff date of their database - there is a gentleman’s agreement between providers not to have ai involved in news / current politics in it’s public chats.

I tried them on a topic I’m pretty proficient on, (a spaghetti recipe lol) and the answer was the most bland imaginable.

The way it is setup by DDG, the restrictions and blandness, shallowness of the replies give me peace of.mind when a ‘natural language’ query is the easiest one. And Claude wouldn’t give me the DOB of that queen because it is Personal Info!

DDG has it’s non-track version online since a bit now. Use the !ai bang to get to it

Also you have the choice of Claude insted of ChatGPT, and your queries aren’t harvested for further ai training

In any case, it’s a completely different tab, it’s not mingled in general search results

AsahiLina (@[email protected]) was back on the graphic driver to get, ultimately, to Vulkan

You’re not wrong. That’s why I kept a small macos partition to do the hard crunch when needed, like rendering in kdenlive. Everything else I can just do on Asahi, including Ardour multitrack exports.

AsahiLina was at it yesterday, ultimately chasing Vulkan compatibility:

Mbp sorry, not iPad :(

It is now based on fedora not arch, but the install process is the same

Ah again. One more moving target to chase for the nice AsahiLinux project.

I just finished the full soundtrack of a theatre play using AsahiLinux on my M2pro mbp. I resorted to macos only to render some heavy video tracks.

Good, good. The flight was a bit bumpy today, but by 11am I was having breakfast at my favorite little place down in front of the mosque. I love the quiet Sunday mornings here.

Dropping The List here because answering in detail would take …a very, very long time.

I do not use a kindle for the same reason. Amazon allows you to create a user email adress attached to mobile-enabled kindles to exchange docs by simply firing an email to that address ; it may not be on current models but 3G Paperwhites had them.

For Women’s Right Day, the android app store featured the lead of Security and Privacy of this very app. A lady BTW. Fuck me sideways how that was a ton of crap, retrospectively. She said in so many words the usual “privacy foremost” and other such obvious shit, then she also said “no selling ever”.

I despair of humanity.

You don’t need that: Proton will only surrender accounts/information to local authorities with the appropriate paperwork - and that’s their selling point on privacy, swiss law being pretty protective of privacy ; in this case, a corpus of evidence has been submitted by a recognized foreign entity & considered valid for action in regard to swiss law.

That’s what makes proton secure for journalists, political opponents and such: no swiss judge will enable any random dictator to get a dissident’s info, it won’t fly with swiss law. And if that escalates to bogus criminal charges, it is still up to a swiss judge to decide how and if to proceed.

You put your trust in Switzerland here, not in a nerdy business with an atom-smashing background.

Nah, OP could probably sell her. For cheap of course, given the circumstances, but still.

It’s already on the AUR

Newpapers are available in public libraries

Mac. Why the eff can I not remove StockMarket, Weather, Chess (and so many more)… On an Audio WorkStation dedicated to Studio / Live work? Even in terminal, command line from rescue mode with permissions butchered. Argh.
