I feel like I used to be a centrist, and then things continued shifting around me until the concept of the government acting sanely and working for the people it represents makes me an extreme leftist…

I think Aurora is closer to Bazzite and Bluefin for KDE.

Its been a while since I directly compared them, but I found quik more feature rich without bringing any bloat.

Cryptpad? Or if you are up for a learning journey you could set up NextCloud and Collabora.

Same. I killed geometry. I though it was also very helpful in calc for visualizing derivatives and integrals. I also visualize equations moving around, so it was helpful with algebra. Kinda like a mental chalkboard.

I don’t approach math the same way most people I’ve encountered do, and I’ve always assumed it was due to this visualization.

That is exactly my experience, albeit described much better than I’ve ever attempted. Do you also visualize math problems in similar ways? I found the ability extremely useful in calc and other higher maths.

And this is why I only buy “smart” tech that can be used offline, and then put it on a separate vlan with extremely restricted access. Screw the cloud.

Is that not how everyone sees their routes? Genuinely asking.

Supposedly its focused on the Dev experience rather than the gamer experience but I also do development on Bazzite without issue. So I guess the real answer is “not much”

I’m surprised Aurora is so low on the list. I’ve been loving it on my Dev laptop. Huuuuge improvement over Ubuntu. It feels so much snappier, ironically.

Too late 🥲

Navidrome + any of a number of subsonic players

Before all this LLM nonsense that was AI and it still is. I guess they are just being overly transparent.

I guess I need to buy another bike…

Have you found any good projects for meshtastic? I got some hardware to tinker with but have a little let down so far. I love the idea though.

If you are used to documentation like MS’s, then AI responses probably look more reasonable and useful. If AI results look better than your own docs you should feel really bad.

According to journalist and Nobel laureate Maria Ressa its not the Apocalypse, its Armageddon. One is “the end” the other is “the battle” for the end. Sadly she’s an optimist.

Can you cite something for that? I’m not disagreeing, I’m just disappointed by the revelation and would like to get my facts straight.

I try to use OsmAnd when I can. Its probably the best FOSS option. My Google alternative is Magic Earth, which is not FOSS, but is powered by OSM and more privacy friendly than Google.

I was happily impressed by how active the contributor community for OSM is. I got good feedback on my contributions. Its so satisfying to see the map improve based on your efforts.

GrapheneOS is still moving ahead albeit slower, as you said. They are also working on a deal with a phone manufacturer to bring a more secure phone to market. I dunno whether it will just meet the same security levels of the Pixels and ship with stock Android, or if it will be a full GrapheneOS Phone. I’m hoping for the latter, but it will more likely be the former. Fingers crossed.
