As I said, I briefly used gnome in the far past and just remember being weirded out by the design choices that felt very “Apple like” . So them pulling an “Apple” and doing the “we know better than the user” doesn’t feel out of place.

I was gonna say that it was a third party extension, but then I thought that gnomes users would infer that pretty easily.

Yeah, Cosmic looks really nice. Their app store interface needs a bit of modernization work, but otherwise, it looks well polished.

2 other responses I got confirmed that such thing happens and you say otherwise. Doesn’t Gnome breaks third party extensions that provides users basic functionality that should be in gnome in the first place but the devs don’t want to implement? Is the meme wrong?

Gnome devs : we broke the toilet extension. Your pokemons have nowhere to shit and piss.

Pokemon trainers : why the fuck is the toilet an extension. Shouldn’t it be part of the DE?

Gnome devs : we believe the toilet feature is unnecessary, so it wasn’t and will never be implemented.

Note : I’ve barely used gnome in my life so it’s based on memes I’ve seen about gnome.

Except the extra salt need to go somewhere.

Let’s be honest, much like how any nuclear advancement is highly controlled and any country that dabbles in it is drowned in sanctions, USA would certainly bully any country that would replicate it without their consent and “friendly countries” would have a huge discount in licensing costs.

I remember watching a clip from syfy b-movie where a dude is in awe in front of a small fusion power plant and vaguely remember him talking about a war caused by USA gatekeeping other countries from this unlimited clean source of energy by abusing copyright or something like that.

Or Facebook or Twitter.

For them to peggy back of a competitor work would be a bold and very risky move.

The article is basically : We have our own inferior adblockers so don’t panic when UBO stops working.

This is stupid cause it will simply cause Firefox to be banned. The devs should just host it somewhere else and teach the user to run external extensions.

AI is overhyped but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s impact is still gonna be huge, mainly in terms of how productive a single human can be.

AI on its own is still too dumb even with all the new improvements like huge contexts reaching millions and mixture of experts,etc. but they can be of tremendous help as a personal assistant, especially for disabled people. The fact that it can understand natural speech very well and act accordingly is a major breakthrough.

I also discovered that AI that have access to internet and do a search for what you’re asking them tend to answer vastly better than their offline counterpart.

That movie with Jack Nicholson playing a general and screaming “you can’t handle the truth” to Tom Cruise.

If you guys like hiking and stuff, there’s this cool open source app called trail sense on f-droid and it’s just so much feature packed…

I don’t hike, so I only use it for it’s pedometer capabilities and a hypothetical situation where “I might get really lost” but the amount of features it has for hiking and survival is crazy and so I think deserves to be more known.

Let’s use hash values for versioning. Big numbers go bigger! Joking aside, I totally believe that there are people who would think bigger numbers means more advanced, and it’s depressing.

Ngl, such titles always amuse me.

How far can we go? Let’s blame the CERN!

Linux gives you the choice to use AI. Microsoft shove it down your throat so hard that even none techy people got scared.

Also, running local llms is easy and someone even remade Microsoft nightmarish recall future :
