Pronouns are not adjectives, they’re pronouns.

Maybe I’m talking weird, but how often do you refer to yourself by any non-reflexive pronoun?

What is the battery situation like?

The older, cheaper devices are obviously, well, older and thus the battery degraded a bit. Linux isn’t exactly optimized for these things either. I would expect less than great battery life.

Why not just recommend adblockers? No ads, no revenue, no matter how much tracking.

You can also replace eggs with applesauce. At least in cakes that works surprisingly well. One egg is about 1-2 tablespoons of sauce.

Even that is pretty temporary.

If you build a house, there’s a good chance, it will survive for decades or even centuries. The house I currently live in survived two world wars and heavy bombardment in one of them. I don’t think any software will manage that.

I think we (as an industry) need to be honest to ourselves and admit that pretty much everything we’re building is temporary. And not in a philosophical sense. 90% of the code I wrote in my about 10 years of professional work is probably gone by now - sometimes replaced by myself. In another ten years, chances are not a single line of code will have survived.

And most importantly for me personally: they seem to disregard people using multiple windows.

I rarely work in one window, and having a large screen for only one app is pretty stupid.

Gnome feels like it’s intended for small screen devices like tablets.

Gemma, ollama and many other models are open source too. In fact, deepseeks models are based on Ollama.

I don’t want to discourage you, but this is not how those are supposed to look.

The filling should be just a pale off-white: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f8/a3/3d/f8a33d37d549c22893f9958f381d1f3b.jpg

And then what? Also, that won’t be legal in the EU.

I mean, you take billions of dollars to develop an AI to put into a product you already have, making it less competitive in the process to … develop a slightly better AI maybe?

Where exactly is the return on investment here?

That’s way too simplistic, as often.

For the shareholders, having an investment of several billions turn into an unwanted add-on for a few dollars is not a good thing. It’s the opposite, almost like a fire sale.

I really wonder what their long term plan is here.

Hardly anyone really wants copilot, it doesn’t add a lot of value, yet makes the product less competitive.

I totally get rent seeking, Office is so ingrained that it’s almost impossible to get away from it. But why force AI on everybody? Why not add it as a bonus?

Is this just a desperate attempt to soften the massive losses of the AI investment?

So, you fucked up and it’s postgres’ fault?

That’s actually the really sad story here.

Every “experimental” regime was either toppled (Chile) or had to align with the USSR (Cuba) to survive. There was never a real attempt at democratic socialist politics without interference from superpowers.
