@turtle21 Yeah, I've been messing around with ML a bit (specifically Natural Language Processing) and once you've looked under the hood, it's really easy to see how little these AIs really do understand. I think at least some human guidance is going to be necessary for a very, very long time.

My current impractical hobby project idea is to make a ML model that can finish a scene in a story, given the first sentence. I'd probably never make it there, but I'd learn a ton on the way.

@urusan Apple, Facebook, and Google spring to mind. Apple for its policies on repairability, devs having to be on Mac to make Mac or iOS apps, and the whole thing with safari being the only browser allowed on the iOS store. Google and Facebook for... their policies regarding user privacy.

There are probably plenty of others. Probably not Microsoft either.

@mab Oof, sounds tricky. I don't even know where to start with that 😅

I assume you don't have a 1GB stick in your machine, so that means it's somehow only using part of a stick?

Good luck figuring it out.

@MGD That could be a really interesting experiment. I know RSS feed are at least implemented with the Releases feature; there might be something similar for other features as well. And of course, with the new Discussions it's even easier to interact.

@turtle21 Just looked that up, and wow. Not sure how I feel about that.

In my experience though, most AI generated stuff can get you really impresed, but eventually there's a moment where you get totally thrown off by something it says. It's possible people doing this might get a taste of what conversation is like and then actually go have conversations with actual people.

@JRLarsen Ooh, does it? Yeah, that's a big issue.

Sad that there aren't more keyboard users making the UI decisions.

I get it though; it's sometimes really hard, especially with the modern web apps we're making. I'm coding a novel-editor using Electron and there was this one point where I went and added in a bunch of keyboard functionality. *So* much easier to use afterward, but I also spent a couple days just on that, and it still needs a more work before it's usable with keyboard alone.

@Phate6660 Love the idea. Hmm names... Not so good with thinking up names. I'll think about it and post if I come up with anything. :)

@JRLarsen YES! I'm trying to use non-google search engines but so far I can't find many that let you skip straight to the first search result. :(

If I remember correctly, Brave Search plans to open-source the code eventually, so maybe at that point I can submit a PR.

@arivigo Haha, I've done the same thing. I came up with a concept for a novel-length story that gets published in daily ~500-word chunks and immediately went and spent days coding the website to automate it as soon as I finished the first ~700 words.

Working on a sitewide redesign of my blog. Here's a peek.

I'm planning on launching a series in 2022 on how to use tech more responsibly that'll probably include a bunch on FOSS, and I'm trying to redesign the website to match that.

Somewhat counterintuitively, I went for an extremely-minimal UI, focusing almost entirely on the text. I actually really like the aesthetic.

@edboythinks Hey, another space nerd! KSP's the only non-FOSS app I still use (other than programs I have to use for school).

Actually, I had a funny experience when I got to the checkout; it only charged me $15. No notice about a discount or anything.

@edboythinks I tried Garuda back when I was distro hopping a couple months ago. I liked it, but I get a bit motion sick with too much animation in software, and Garuda had way too much for me by default. Seems like a really cool distro, though!

New thing I tried today: setting up an alias to easily change my bash aliases!

To try it, add this to ~/.bashrc.d/aliases (or whatever file you're using):

alias aliases="nano ~/.bashrc.d/aliases && source ~/.bashrc"

(if you use my filename, be sure ~/.bashrc.d/ exists. On Ubuntu, you might want to use ~/.bash_aliases instead)

Whenever you run "aliases", it will open up the file in nano and automatically apply the changes when you're done.
