Signal is more like WhatsApp, Element/Matrix is aiming to be more like Telegram or Discord.

Is this voice assistant something I can install on Android? I didn’t realize there was any alternative to Google or Siri (or Bixby).

I have been extremely disappointed with the broader Linux ““community”” at times, but never Linux.

There was a Ted Talk a while back (I can’t remember who) where they said “I have always wanted to give a Ted Talk… but when I got selected to do this I realized that what I really wanted was to say I had given a Ted Talk”. Meaning they want to be known as someone who had given a Ted Talk, not actually go through the process of writing and delivering the Talk.

People who write open source code do it because they like the process of writing, just like an author enjoys writing books. LLMs are for people who just want to be able to say they have written a book. People who slop-code aren’t actually interested in learning how to code. Which is a fine toy for them to play with, but not sustainable (or reliable for others to use).

This was my exact journey, though I eventually landed on immutable Fedora with KDE. Zorin is a great OS but it’s in a weird space because it’s probably already too simple for anyone who knows what Linux is.

Steamroller is a great name. I built a similar SFFPC with Bazzite a few years ago but if I was in the market I would probably choose this over the Steam Machine (as cool as it is).

Fedora has two immutable distros KDE (Kinoite) and GNOME (Silverblue) and both are excellent and very stable.

Only if you’ve never bought a game on Steam before. I don’t think I’ve paid over $10 for anything.

“I am sure this overpriced plastic trinket will fill the meaningless void in your finite life” 🤣

Shit I think I may need to go play through the Portal games again.

(HL3 tease at the end)

ALSO WHAT

When they priced the controller at $99 I immediately suspected it would be part of a bundle deal for “a $99 value!”

Also WOW that cube is so much more than just a dbrand skin. That’s amazing.

I’m convinced hardly anybody on Lemmy has a functioning theory of mind.

Even at double the cost of a normal console, once you factor in the cost of games it comes out ahead. And hopefully the RAMpocalypse will end eventually.

I’ve seen that but it’s a weird vibe coded app and doesn’t actually work

ShelfMark is the go-to option now. It’s also far better than Readarr was and works seamlessly with both Prowlarr and Anna’s Archive.

I think CWA is the most robust option out there. BookLore was vibecoded and behaved in the typical weird/unexpectedly way vibecoded apps tend to. I haven’t tried the Fork of it, but CWA checks nearly all the boxes and is actively developed.

I wish ABS synced progress between formats with KOReader!
