Thanks. Just installed a new OS and I’m still working out the kinks. I had that extension installed previously but because it just works in the background I didn’t even think to re-install it.

Ah, yes. Truly, I cannot argue against this impeccable logic. I am swayed.

I feel kind of lame saying so, but I just use Kate for taking notes.

I only realised it was supposed to be for editing code when it gave me a debug error when I wrote something with parentheses (what do you mean there’s an error in line 43!? That sentence makes perfect sense!)

I’d say there are probably as many genuine use-cases for AI as there are people in denial that AI has genuine use-cases.

Top of my head:

• Text editing. Write something (e.g. e-mails, websites, novels, even code) and have an LLM rewrite it to suit a specific tone and identify errors.
• Creative art. You claim generative AI art is soulless and poor quality, to me, that indicates a lack of familiarity with what generative AI is capable of. There are tools to create entire songs from scratch, replace the voice of one artist with another, remove unwanted background noise from songs, improve the quality of old songs, separate/add vocal tracks to music, turn 2d models into 3d models, create images from text, convert simple images into complex images, fill in missing details from images, upscale and colourise images, separate foregrounds from backgrounds.
• Note taking and summarisation (e.g. summarising meeting minutes or summarising a conversation or events that occur).
• Video games. Imagine the replay value of a video game if every time you play there are different quests, maps, NPCs, unexpected twists, and different puzzles? The technology isn’t developed enough for this at the moment, but I think this is something we will see in the coming years. Some games (Skyrim and Fallout 4 come to mind) have a mod that gives each NPC AI generated dialogue that takes into account the NPC’s personality and history.
• Real time assistance for a variety of tasks. Consider a call centre environment as one example, a model can be optimised to evaluate calls based on language and empathy and correctness of information. A model could be set up with a call centre’s knowledge base that listens to the call and locates information based on a caller’s enquiry and tells an agent where the information is located (or even suggests what to say, though this is currently prone to hallucination).

My feedback: I wish it was -15 °C… To snuggle up under a bundle of blankets sounds divine. Instead, it’s almost midnight where I am and it’s still bloody 32 °C.

The UI looks nice, though I’ve effectively disabled the Overview and replaced it with the ArcMenu on my setup. I’ve also aligned my common/active applications to the left on my panel rather than centred (so that my pinned applications are always in the same position and don’t budge over when I open another program). Rounded corners doesn’t do it for me, I try to avoid anything that removes screen real-estate, no matter how minimal. I’ve also set the bottom panel to auto hide so that it’s only visible when I move my cursor at the bottom of the screen. Overall, your setup’s pretty nice, though I don’t think I like the bright colours for the buttons in the top right of your windows, they’re a little distracting. Mine’s set so the cross is a washed out red colour, the minimise button is a pale horizontal line, and I don’t have a maximise button.

I’m going to install that Weather or Not extension. Thanks.

Thank you, this was helpful. I’m also using Pop!_OS, so this reinforces my belief that it’s just a graphical issue. I also see this when checking for updates sometimes.

I reckon this is probably what the issue is. Maybe it’s of a device type where an icon wasn’t created or where some reference to the icon’s image is broken. Thank you.

Everything seems to be working fine and it mounts successfully. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks for responding, but no, I have 3 devices plugged in at the moment and the icons don’t change regardless of which one I have selected. This is the only one with an ‘x’ icon. It doesn’t appear to prevent me from using it, but I’m unsure if it’s indicative of an issue with the device itself. Maybe it just means it isn’t a recognised device. Kind of wish Nemo had tooltips or something.

In honesty (my last comment was clearly not legit), you likely do pronounce the ‘L’; most accents will include this in my experience.

Does the tip of your tongue touch the roof of your mouth just on or behind the ridge before your front teeth? If you release your tongue before pronouncing the ‘D’ is there a release of air? If you do position your tongue here and there is no release of air before pronouncing the ‘D’ (which does release air), then you are pronouncing the ‘L’.

It’s pronounced ‘moeoueieueld’. You really need to emphasise the ‘a’ sound to get it right.

This is a fair assessment. I actually like politics, but I have still blocked numerous political communities because the users spam variations of the exact same 2 articles over, and over, and over, and over again.

It’s either going to be:

1. Trump be stoopid
2. Israel be bad

The first few times were interesting, now it’s just effing annoying. Blocking these communities has definitely improved my Lemmy experience.

I’ve been using Linux on and off for years and I’ve never really understood what these different directories are for. If I don’t know where something is I just search for it, though more often than not whatever I’m looking for is somewhere in the home directory. I’m also not sure of the accuracy of this though. I have a VM in /run, and an SSD and thumb drive in /media. I would’ve expected these to be in /mnt.

This somehow makes me feel both old and young at the same time.

A lot of outdated information. Looks like they’ve been open and closed source at different times. Most recent info I could find (from last month) states: “While Floorp wasn’t originally closed source, we plan to revert to an open-source license under the GNU definition.”
