You got me excited there for a minute! Though I don't really want workarounds (they are the only way and therefore a necessity / automatically good, but they are not the real thing), I want virtual keyboards with actual native Wayland support, please :(

I mean, when have you last seen someone use a CD? Exactly.

That's because you do not understand the philosophy. We are not using GNU/Linux because it is easier, we're using them out of idealism. In my opinion, it is worth sacrificing some comfort for the thing you believe in. And ultimately, every GNU/Linux user also leads to an increase in freedom for all the others, even the Windows or OS X evangelists profit from the hard work and lobbyism of the Linux community and the Free Software Foundation.

I'm not opposed at all to using LLMs for such purposes, however, please consider a solution that aligns with the values of GNU/Linux and the Free Software Movement. If you have sufficient RAM and a somewhat modern CPU, you can do inference on your very own machine, locally, with no connection to any external servers. And at very respectable speed.

I think that this is entirely dependent on the amount of money you're willing to expend. I'm sure that you can buy things that are much better or at least as well built as their counterparts from the past.

Caffeine is very unhealthy though :( Please, everyone, reduce your intake as much as possible

What exactly makes you think that? Strange New Worlds has very little action, and is loved by fans as far as I can tell. Yes, it has "personal drama", but Star Trek always had that and it's not a bad thing.

Light mode definitely is not better for the health of your eyes.

Not a weirdo. It is the only reasonable thing to do. Unfortunately, many people lack education about the true extent of mass surveillance / profiling and the potential massive repercussions that it can have for society à la Nineteen Eighty-Four.

If it were not true then that would be the actual surprise. The probability for life to form has been computed over and over during the past century, incorporating ever more gains in scientific knowledge, and it is on the order of 10^-100, meaning that there likely is no other life in at least our galaxy.

The joke flew over your head.

Individual cells do not encode any memory. Thinking and memory stem from the great variety and combinational complexity of synaptic interlinks between neurons. Certain "circuit" paths are reinforced over time as they are used. The computation itself (thinking, recalling) then is "just" incredibly complex statistics over millions of synapses. And the most awesome thing is that all this happens through chemical reaction chains catalysed by an enormous variety of enzymes and other proteins, and through electrostatic interactions that primarily involve sodium ions!

Because that's a bad not even a solution.

They said that they DIDN'T want to go back to Reddit. As in, they do not want Lemmy to turn into what Reddit is.

They themselves said "to which I count Hamas", this is just bad faith rhetoric on your part.

Now this is just plain racism toward Arabs. Your reasoning suggests that they are incapable of organising democratic forms of government, and that only enlightened Israelis are able to achieve that.

The "blame" lies with no one except for the big social media megacorporations that develop and distribute addictive apps. Phone use by teenagers, or anyone else, is not intrinsically connected to any adverse effects. Rather, negative health consequences for children are the result of an unchecked, raging hypercapitalism.

Or maybe you are just using them wrong 🤔

They are not produced for governments only, almost every consumer-grade CPU can have its ME disabled or at least scuttled, thanks to efforts like me_cleaner!
