@sotolf @ascott I'll take anything over bash. But yes, I know about your opinion on Go. You really must have an alert set up :P

@paul @ascott @sotolf You just became the victims of my first ever self-created meme.

@paul @wfaler "ChatGPT, the most visible expression of the AI breakthrough, has completely changed internet search."Has it? I seem to recall the thing spouting impressive things but also a lot of not-always-easy-to-spot nonsense which would make it a rather dangerous tool for search. Also, I thought only Bing uses the thing and who even uses Bing? Or am I behind the times here?

@paul @wfaler Seemed to me the author didn't really know too much about the subject.

@paul @wfaler I can totally see why this would be nice to have! The thing is ChatGPT can't give it to us because it frequently produces bogus. Maybe we need another AI to fact check the first one :D

@liztai So far, I've not understood how TikTok is this evil Chinese app that harvests data and *possibly* shares it with the government whereas 'Murican companies are known to do the same and are *compelled* to give data to their government whenever asked for it. I don't see the difference except that we know the latter for a fact but only suspect the former.Consequently, we should ban Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. from government official's phones as well.

Can anyone recommend a smartwatch that:- is open source and/or doesn't phone home- can be connected to my Android phone without Google Play Services- shows phone notifications- allows navigation (via phone)- has media controls (for phone)These are in descending order of importance. I am aware of the PineTime but that never arrived here, unfortunately.#askfedi #askmastodon #askfosstodon

Gotta say, Jellyfin is a pretty sweet piece of software. It looks good, has a lot of very useful features, is easy to set up and fairly intuitive to use. Basically it's everything I wish Kodi was and yes I know they don't exactly cover the same use case.

@ThePlant @gamingonlinux Eh. Gatekeepers and religious Linux vegans, let's agree to not care about those as much, shall we?

@paul @gregorni So you're saying you're not excited for the snap-based immutable desktop they're developing? Gonna stick with Ubuntu LTS, I suppose then.

@stefano @paul It's amazing how there was a lawsuit against Microsoft for bundling a browser with their OS back in the day and today we have... well everything Google, Apple and Microsoft are doing.

@ThePlant In my experience it's more like this:Some random person asks for a distro recommendation without any context. They are then recommended a number of distros that equals the number of recommenders times 2 at least. These will include things like Solus, Manjaro, Void and {insert obscure distros that will die within a month}. People will also proceed to trashtalk Ubuntu, rant about systemd, snaps and whatnot, all without knowing anything about the intended use case. Fun times.

@gabriel @ThePlant Yeah, that too. Nonsensical Linux recommendation threads are a pet peeve of mine.
