FireDragon: proiectul care demonstrează că utilul poate fi și frumos

Deși lumea navigatoarelor web este dominată de giganți precum Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge sau Mozilla Firefox, universul open-source oferă alternative pentru utilizatorii care caută intimitate, viteză și personalizare vizuală. O astfel de soluție este FireDragon Browser, dezvoltat în ecosistemul distribuției Garuda Linux și depășind statutul de simplu "fork" de Firefox, acesta reprezintă o viziune...

@eARCwelder sometimes I think I should just make money scamming rich people. so easy.

@ayjay Thanks! Really looking forward to releasing it.

@ophiocephalic

Thank you! I will get right to it!

Yes, there are lots of news accounts on here. I've done a section about them on my other website fedi.directory:

To follow an account listed on the site, copy-paste its Fediverse address into the search box in Mastodon, then click "Follow".

Note that some of them post extremely frequently, you might want to use the Mastodon Lists feature to put them in their own news-themed mini-timeline https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-the-lists-feature-on-mastodon

@petmos pollingInterval is for the remote (git-fetch). locally changes are detected live using inotify.

@warmemelk Perhaps the company you work builds software to automate away other people's jobs. That's unfortunate.

That's also not a universal experience. Many software developers have *not* been in that position. I actually examined this in my own career not long ago, and very few projects I ever worked on were about automating away other people's jobs.

As for the "why" of resisting genAI, I do plan to add an Educational Resources section soon. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

@kentpitman @salixsericea Yes I think it's best you don't support this, as you seem to be deliberately not understanding *why* it exists nor my explanations for what its purpose is. I suggest you examine why you are going out of your way to misinterpret our movement.

@juglugs @ganxel AI output is slop. Slop is in the eye of the beholder. Just you saying "this is not slop because I think it's good" doesn't mean it is not slop.

There's also plenty of evidence LLMs do not develop in some linear sense of progression. Some older, smaller, better-scoped models are better at a number of tasks than the biggest frontier models. In general in this space we've also seen an S-curve, *not* an exponential curve, and we've nearly reached the ceiling now.

@juglugs I'm really not even sure what the point is you're trying to make.

Our companion app for recording short podcasts Wavelength is getting a full redesign. Thanks to @vincent for the great work on it! Here’s a set of screenshots for a sneak peek. Hope to submit to Apple and Google this week.

I’ve been rebuilding my music collection for months now and some of my favorite albums are either expensive as hell or hard to find in decent condition but I will prevail

@keir HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!

Holy hell Avicii CD’s go for good money now 😥

@mmu_man's toot finally made me see the point of having a duplicate function in #SimpleScan, so I clarified and reopened the corresponding ticket with this comment: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/work_items/85#note_2820949

Now I think we just need one of y'all to throw a MR at the problem. Preferably not a 17,000 lines of code MR ;)
@usul

@kentpitman @salixsericea I do want people to wonder if they're cheating. And this *is* a sort of code of ethics.

And no, I'm not "OK" with people using LLMs at their day job. People themselves are not OK with their using LLMs at their day job. They do it because they're *forced* to by late-stage capitalism, not because they like the idea.

That's the whole point of this.
