I hate that i just cannot get usted to plasma. I guess I'll wait two years to get it on gnome after the corporate committee has agreed to all the minutiae.

Been usung it for three years now I think. Still has issues sure, but over that time I have seen it improve massively, so I expect it will keep getting better. Development is slow though, so I understand that the current state is more important that hypotetical future improvements. I would definitely recommend you to try it with the free tier, and if you like then start stacking lifetime packages. As I see it there is nothing better right now with that balance of cost, features and privacy.

Pleade dont. I mean it. Some time ago i was remembering back to a time when I was funny and it fucking shocked me. I used to make people laugh and laughed much more myself. Then over time life happened. Years of work, illness, family, relationships, the world. It was such a shitty feeling to see how the cynicism and demoralizing environment consumes us.

I don't want to go to an absolute like 'ignore what everyone thinks' because realistically it doesn't work that way, but you should not strive to change your perception or internal wiring, but to be situationally aware when required. That's what I think.

Also let me tell you that I still get a little joy when seeing someone laughing or smiling in public, which I think is a good sign. Only the more deeply jaded will see that as a negative thing and give it importance. Five minutes later nobody will be thinking about it but you will still be a joyful person.

I just wish languagetool made an android keyboard, all the open source options require some compromise with the autocorrect in my native language

Sure Mr Suspiciously Pale Human, whatever you say, you still can't come in even if vampires don't exist.

Why? What's even the point of blocking anything? Do anyone think that it will have any effect? Its very obvious by now that anybody who was able to do something about it doesn't give a fuck. It will just be milked for headlines for a few days and then die down, without any consequence for anybody mentioned in it. Why do they even care if it's released?

i would have said 'no' a little while ago but now fuck it, the people have spoken. the problem now is that he isn't doing enough fuckery to benefit the people. supreme court declared that the president is above the law and he isn't doing anything with that. sc did it for trump but biden could and should use it. literally send everything on the dod depot to ukraine, give unlimited funds to solar and wind, forgive every loan and shoot modafukin steve bannon in the face

That would be the logical thing according to common sense and probably according to pichai a few weeks ago, but trump just nominated an anti big tech and musk friend to the FCC. musk is behind almost everybody in ai and autonomous cars so he'll definitely push to hamper all competitors.

Sure, we don't know how far would they go or how long will musk keep having white house influence and I personally think breaking up google is now off the table, but I don't think they will get off the hook too easily.

So surely a very big bribe.

It should be everywhere.

And don't come to me with the bullshit 'tolerance paradox'. Tolerance is not a human right. It's a clause of a societal contract and whoever start by breaking the contract is no longer covered by it.

Nazis get punched and nazis get doxxed.

Sorry. The topics I know about and find something to share are the same for lots of other people and literally always someone beat me to it.

Plus I get anxious thinking that I'm gonna have to reply to a lot of people.

But thank you to all of you who do post.

They have their own reader app focused on their voice technology. Probably the plan is expand it to a read-it-later app similar to what omnivore is, and charge a subscription for ir. Similar to readwise but more focused on voice, I would think that's the plan.

Remember that so far nobody is making money with "AI" other than NVIDIA so they are starting to do these far out or whacky pivots to seek monetization.

Everything that exists as it is now will remain open source. More than bought the developers seem to have been hired by eleven labs and most likely have been working there for a while, so they are actually taking their know how and experience there more than taking the code itself.

That's how it looks like to me.

Another possibility is that the eleven labs reading app has portions licensed as agpl, the ones taken from omnivore.

Not about code security (even thought that is certainly important by itself). Sanctions are about political and economical isolation, is not that you don't trust their companies, is that you want to unplug them as a punishment.

The post-incel reactionary trad movement is just getting started. I just hope that there's less men into it that it seems and they are just very noisy, because if not then we are about to get bitten on the ass like we have no idea. I do fear for future society.

Been using it for years. Wasn't perfect and still isn't, but it certainly has improved lots.

Main issue at the beginning for me was some sync issues caused by the local apps. Those have been solved.

As for the speed I really couldn't tell you, it seems fine to me, but I

1. Don't really have a super fast connection and
2. Don't upload or download lots so I rarely need the top speed.

Just to say a number uploads for me are around 6MB/s and download around 10MB/s which is my top speed, but I live pretty far from Germany where their infra is located.

For the price I think the service is great, and regardless of price the web client and Linux sync client are some of my favorites. Android app is serviceable but definitely needs work. I don't know if they are still just the two or three guys that they were some time back or if they have expanded since, but development is slow, take that into account, so improvements arrive but take time.

I think my final judgment would be to tell you that since about 2 years ago it's my main cloud. Probably proton would be the only that would replace it, but obviously is more expensive and not really too interested in Linux users, so I don't see that happening soon.

I would recommend you to test drive with a free account, it has the exact same features as paid just with a small amount of storage space.

You need to find better podcasts to listen.

The one I listen the most and for the longest is No such thing as a fish.

Other that that, Better Offline, Darknet diaries, Money Stuff, Search engine, a local politics one that I disagree with but I use to be aware of what my local conservative pseudo fascists are arguing about.

And not so regularly many others whenever there's an interesting episode.

I don't know the precise answer, but I do know this:

1. Often the kind of measures that are about something vast and complex (like population for example) are really good approximations, not completely exact numbers. So maybe doesn't matter because the number itself is not trying to be 100% accurate.
2. As far as I know those measures are made from the top down view, like with airplanes or satellites, so no it would not include inclines. To include inclines in a precise way it would have to be measured each one on the spot, which is not the way that is done. There are almost no field surveyors these days, again, as far as I know. And to include inclines in an approximate way takes us to point 1 again so it wouldn't matter much if there were a small difference.
3. Why would we do that? Almost everything we use land for requires it to be horizontally flat, so we flatten it. For example, an irregular coastline doesn't matter because we can use the crevices and irregularities to fit in more boats or ports or beaches, since the sea is horizontally flat and that is what really matter to us. But if there's a hill with a greater area because of the steepness of it we cannot fit more houses or warehouses of streets. We have to flatten it first so we gain noting from it being inclined.

So form my point of view it would be almost as if we tried to include the sides of a ravine or gorge in the measure just because technically it is area space.

Sorry if I cannot give you an exact answer, but I wanted to comment because you raised an interesting point that made me think.

Cheers.
