@dale Very cool. Those look good.

@downey it’s great that they cover the social aspects in the post. AI bros never address that.

👏 This is what it looks like when a FLOSS institution takes a moral stand against so-called "AI" LLMs. Software freedom and the commons of public goods it enables needs protection ... now more than ever.

It's a shame that there haven't been others (yet) to step up with this type of unequivocal stance. But there's still time for those who consider themselves leaders in software freedom to get on the right side of history.

I think some of the frustration with AI comes down to invasive UI. There’s a difference between an app that uses AI behind the scenes compared to an app that is always getting in the way: suggesting replies to an email, allow fancy edits no one asked for, adding a chatbot where it’s not needed, etc.

Old comment but I don't get the "nice to have" (granted, very old comment) part:

It's a feature that anyone who is employed by any company would appreciate, as often this means having e.g., two Google identities to manage. It's one of my main distractions that I need two independent browser windows to have two profiles (in any browser).

I think it would be a trans-formative because it would turn a power user feature into a mainstream feature. Right now I don't need workspaces for anything but if I could use them to organize my profiles into workspaces they would be a core part of my workflow..

Given that people are right now looking for options, and want data sovereignty, I'd rethink task prioritization; and especially I would think how to provide both sovereignty and killer features that make sense for the majority of the potential user base.

You should really think this through again :-)

@Vivaldi

@Anneke fair in that case. 🙃

What you're describing is suicidal empathy, and I'm completely done with that. I don't need to talk to a gypsy to know that it's disgusting to have them shit in the streets of Copenhagen. https://www.amazon.com/Suicidal-Empathy-Dying-Be-Kind-ebook/dp/B0GG4WVCV3/

Yellowing plastic isn’t just a #retrocomputing problem!

I need to retrobright my 7-ish year old HVAC sensors.

designed for California.

learnt that some good people I worked with that did continue working on integrating LLMs everywhere (no judgement, we all got to eat) now also got laid off.

you’ll get “left behind” either way…

@chergert @ebassi @pwithnall How about a 17k patch that rewrites the entire app with 260 WIP commits? 😅 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/merge_requests/349

Also, if your justification is "but China is also bad, ask the Chinese models about Tianamen Square", here's just one example from Kimi K to counter that. American frontier models from Anthropic now have greater censorship on the most mundane topics than Chinese do on 1989. Wild.

It's also not even true.

In Vivaldi, I don't get why you cannot open second profile to a workspace, or can you?

The most obvious practical use case for that feature in my opinion...
