I love that I can basically test for Safari on Linux using GNOME Web.

Just to add, Digikam for organizing, DarkTable for processing, GIMP for anything DarkTable doesn’t do.

The biggest downsides, for me, with the FOSS route compared to Linux, is that the UIs can be a bit clunky, unclear, or just slower. Since this is a hobby for me, I’m trying to look past those in favor of saving some $$, but it’s not easy after over a decade of Adobe.

Don’t know about perfect, but it was simple and wasn’t bloated like Outlook or Thunderbird. For someone who just needed to send and receive emails, nothing else, it was nice.

What? I use a three gen old iPhone and the Apple Watch I bought this year works just fine.

Really cool photo! Grand Haven? I need to get there when some big ships come through. Never seem to get the timing right and all I see are all the small ones with Trump flags on them 😅

Imagine spending hours writing and editing something with care only for an LLM to “summarize“ it, completely missing any nuance or sarcasm, removing any creative bits or humor, while also making the wrong point altogether. To top it off anyone unwilling to read your story, their time is valuable after all (but not yours, apparently), will now repeat the LLM’s interpretation to anyone they’d like, whether it’s accurate or not.

It’s an abysmal direction to go for misinformation and even more abysmal for writers. Good content becomes irrelevant and people become less and less willing to pay for a writer’s time and expertise. Why not write with an LLM if a large percentage of your readers summarize the piece with an LLM anyways? Just need more eyeballs to justify our Google Ads spending.

Built into a “private” browser or not, it’s just another nail in the coffin of a web built by and for humans.

I actually prefer Chrome’s tab groups, preferring to have groups visible and one click away. Ideally the user would be able to choose whether to show or hide inactive groups.

My T480 does everything I need. Picked it up for $200 and spent another $100-$150 to get brand new batteries, a pretty good screen, much faster storage, and upped it to 24GB of RAM. Pretty awesome. Pop!_OS runs like a charm.

Loving these foggy shots!

They’re good at finding dings. You know, like, how she’s super old and that’s gross.

Huh.

I think something with this, too (and that you sorta hinted at), is that it doesn’t seem to provide any additional benefit to what we already get with the iPhone, iPad, Mac ecosystem. That’s an ecosystem with a huge and established user base. Obviously this could change as developers step in to do the heavy lifting, but… Will they want to? Is it a good investment to spend thousands of hours on an app that a fraction of users of an already niche product will use? I think it’s very telling that some of the biggest developers (like Spotify and Netflix) opted out of Vision Pro.

It’s going to take some very talented, very risk-tolerant developers to make a $3,500+ headset go anywhere. And as of now, Apple is providing very little incentive.

Grew up Reformed Christian and you hit the nail on the head… Or hand, or whatever.

This is how the tax rate works. As for your fear of them taking 100%, they won’t. The max single-payer tax rate, as of 2023, was 37%.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

How would I check which version I have installed? I just used Fedora software to install. I’ll have to check when I get home. Haven’t had issues, though, so probably not worth the trouble.

Well, I’ve only changed distros a handful of times. But, I’ve broken my system more than a few times, as well. Back when I had more time I tinkered a lot more than I do now haha

Apart from what you mentioned:

• Steam
• Darktable
• cmatrix (very important)
• pfetch
• vim
• Hugo
• clipboard manager

I think that’s about it!

Love it! We’ve been getting a lot of foggy nights around here, and this could be really fun to play with. Thanks for sharing!

Rockford? Wish I got out more with the recent foggy days. Loving this shot!
