@ChrisWere I keep stumbling across it accidentally on my Manjaro install and there's always a moment of pause where I think it's some random notification popping up. If there's one installed by default on Debian I've never stumbled across it.

@gamingonlinux ... Uh, what even is preloading? I don't recall enabling or disabling it.

@Venn Oh nuts... had higher hopes given that some of the other PS games released on Steam have been pretty solid. :/

@thunderbird It's scary to think of the unintentional chaos it'll cause when used be people who put too much confidence in it - not realising the limitations it has, the biases it has and what it's actually outputting. *(For example, someone getting AI to code a website that handles personal information. Many examples of insecure AI-generated code floating around.)*

@thunderbird I personally wouldn't mind something like ChatGPT in Thunderbird or even in #ObsidianMD - being able to ask a more natural question of my own data, such as, "What is this email thread about?" or, "Can you give me a summary of last month?" I feel would be incredibly useful.However, my main contention would be that a solution like this would have to be:- On-device, no cloud processing- Transparent, explains where it got that information from

@thunderbird Sadly, there is still a huge uncertainty issue with AI that needs to be resolved. I recently tried to get it to summarise a list of camera notes I took (a list of timecodes with comments) into groups. What it gave me at first seemed right, but I noticed it missed some stuff out. When I pointed it out it said, "I apologize, I missed this, I have checked again and have ensured that I haven't missed any other notes."But it had. I would have been better off just regex'ing it.

@killyourfm @markmcelroy @thunderbird Wooooooow. 🫠Can't wait to employ this in future footnotes: "The information in this sentence was completely fabricated (maybe)."

@killyourfm @markmcelroy @thunderbird I can't wait for *Silent Uprising's *next album. 😅 Where is it even getting this from I wonder? I thought maybe there's another Jason Evangelho it's getting mixed up with but google doesn't seem to turn up anything.On the plus side, Bing AI plays it a bit closer to the chest:

@stux @matt And besides 😬 how much effort would that take? I'd have to keep track of so many different accounts.🤘

@troed @aral @Gargron I agree. Though as nefarious as both those decisions can appear, I think it's clearly about trying to reduce the friction for new users - even for the trademark changes. The biggest complaints during November last year were about picking servers and people ending up on 'mastodon' urls that aren't moderated.So I can empathize with the intention here.

@Nour @troed @aral @Gargron To be fair, we have seen Matrix’s main server end up fairly full as a result.Maybe a more @pixelfed approach would be better? Main server is the first option but other options aren’t behind a secondary action.

@killyourfm I helped a friend recently with their new Windows 11 laptop because their email account (Outlook) was no longer receiving emails. It said they'd run out of space and needed to upgrade even though they have hardly any emails.Turns out when Microsoft gets you to enable OneDrive to 'Backup' your computer, it chews into the free space they've given you for email. Their desktop had a bunch of photos and documents that had filled their cloud storage up, so now their email didn't work.

@sylvia_ritter 🤩 Soooo cool! Are there prints for this one? Would download and print but would rather put funds towards the art if I can.

@gamingonlinux I really loved the original steam controller even though it wasn't the most comfortable experience in some games. Underside buttons, gyro, remapping - I feel like I can't use a controller without them now.
