  • People, shall we read the full article first?

    Meanwhile, this is not the case with the Ryzen 9000 series desktop parts as the spec sheet of that says:

    OS Support

    Windows 11 - 64-Bit Edition , Windows 10 - 64-Bit Edition , RHEL x86 64-Bit , Ubuntu x86 64-Bit

    So the new Ryzen AI chips that most people don't care about won't support Win 10, but Ryzen 9000 (the real deal desktop chips) will.

    To be frank, the article title is misleading at best.

  • L. O. L.

    Seriously though, reasonable discussion of its usefulness aside, how can't people see that outrageous statements like that without any scientific or practical backing, clearly made to inspire devotion and/or fear, keeping the hype and the money and resources drain on, are the telltale of a tech hype?

  • We are discontinuing Workplace from Meta so we can focus on building AI and metaverse technologies that we believe will fundamentally reshape the way we work,

    Lol, can't make this shit up!

  • It this actually true? For real?!

    Can't wait to go back from my parental leave and not be the last one to hear about important announcements because they were posted on FB. F that.

  • Everything runs locally, OCR, ML, etc, which can be a bit taxing on lower end hardware, but there are ways to disable the more advanced and computationally expensive features, like NLTK for advanced Natural Language processing.

    Your data is stored locally on your server and is never transmitted or shared in any way.

  • There seems to be a huge overlap in functionality. But a major difference is that Paperwork is a local application that runs on Windows and Linux, while Paperless has a web front end that makes it accessible anywhere (it also has some independently native apps for mobile).

  • Paperless-ngx that allows you to self host an easily browseable archive of your documents. Fully featured with OCR, ML-powered categorization and the works.

  • KeepassXC replied on that thread that it wasn't just the privacy problematic networking that was removed:

    that bug report is bunk. He removed ALL features, not just networking. That includes yubikey support, auto-type and browser integration.

  • HeliBoard has been my chosen SwiftKey replacement: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

    Features I value:

    • Multilingual typing (as someone who writes EN, PT and dabbles on DE and NL daily, having to check which language I'm on and switch keyboards/layouts every time sucks)
    • Glide typing (with optional closed source library)
    • Clipboard history
    • Comprehensive layout customization
    • Autocorrect (with customizable level of confidence)
    • Emoji selection and history

    It does suck to see an app that I loved and paid for (yes, I used it for THAT long) get enshittified and try push AI* down my throat.

    Not to mention M$ owning my typing history (which I kinda could live with).

    RIP SwiftKey.

  • Out of curiosity, which is the launcher you chose?

    I froze the stock launcher at the last version without Ads. It works, but I guess some entries like "continue watching" could be bugging out now because it is out of date/never patched.

  • Trying to make real and good use of AI generative models are cracks in the magic.

  • On handling downloaded songs and offline playback, my personal (but informed) opinion is that there is:

    • some licensing reasons for it to be more complicated than strictly necessary
    • lack of interest of supporting an app feature that doesn't drive numbers immediately up (sure, I agree that a better offline experience would improve the product and help user retention, but it isn't easy/quick to measure its impact), and
    • lack of ownership with many teams having to support a functionality (keep the app working offline) within all the various app features they own.

    So, just as a dog with multiple owners, it goes neglected and starves.

  • I'd say that they're "cooking the books" as in: making it look like they're in better shape than they are by cutting costs, but causing irreparable damage to themselves that will manifest in the long run.

    I've survived 3 layoffs at Spotify last year alone. Once I started working there It didn't take long to be proud and feel happy about it. Now, although people still find it cool when I tell them and I still do the same job (no workload increase), I know it is just like any other greedy corpo and I feel compelled to care less and less.
