  • TikTok Alternative "Loops" is now on Google Play

  • Practically the same thing really

  • Ubuntu Linux Will Begin Landing AI Features Throughout The Next Year

    Jump

  • If you're playing modern games that just released, they often need the newest graphics drivers to run well and look right. It also helps to have the most modern version of apps like Heroic Games Launcher and stuff, but Flatpak has solved that somewhat.

    If anyone here games a lot, I'd recommend a more rolling release distro (or the version of Debian that updates packages quickly, forgot its name).

  • Framework Laptop 13 Pro and highlights from the Framework [Next Gen]

    Jump

  • Looks great, I was never a framework believer because it was so overpriced (to an extent it still is), but this sounds way better and might actually be a good deal. Aside from the specs bump, they fixed almost all of the issues with the older frameworks (CEO talks more about it in this video).

    Better build quality and less flex, better screen, better speakers, and a better touchpad. The biggest issue I heard about it was that it felt a bit cheap and wobbly because of all the moving parts, but if they manage to fix that, I might actually get it some day.

  • Linux breaks the 5% threshold for the Hardware survey first time ever on Steam

  • Firefox’s new AI ‘Smart Window’ (only in beta builds so far) surprises reviewer by unexpectedly handing browsing history to 3rd party hosted models

    Jump

  • So I asked each model where it (thinks) it is hosted/running.

    [...]

    Can we trust those responses, or is it more mirage with plausible-sounding responses?

    Whoever wrote this doesn't know how AI works. They don't know where they're hosted. He could have asked Mozilla instead of panic-posting. This guy keeps saying his data was given to "third party hosts" but he has no idea who the hosts are, Mozilla could be the one hosting the models...

    Mozilla says this was a flub; it will refine the onboarding around Smart Window to limit memory formation to post-opt-in activity only. That’s obviously the right fix.

    So, false alarm. Try beta software, get software bugs.

  • The fact that fans might port TP to the Switch before Nintendo bothers is hilarious

  • I'm making a FOSS all-in-one file converter app - looking for opinions!

    Jump

  • Your comment posted 3 times so I'm guessing there's something with your internet haha

    I'm still deciding how "serious" the project is going to be, but if all goes well I will definitely add support for other formats. I'm already looking at adding Pandoc for document conversions.

  • The choice of Godot for a UI library is an interesting one; how big is the program in the end?

    Not small but not huge either, the app itself will be within 25MB uncompressed (<10MB zipped) - but it doesn't matter that much since most of the file size will be the dependencies used to convert stuff. I have a blog post talking more about Godot for GUI apps if you're interested.

    The rest of the feedback is appreciated! I was just about to add some text showing which file was being converted when processing.

    S&Box went open-source and the comments are very calm

  • JPEG XL is Dead. Long Live JPEG XL

  • I've yet to see any AVIF in the wild. I think support for it is not quite there yet, everybody is still relying on WEBP.

  • s&box game engine from Rust developer Facepunch is now open source

  • It's a heavily modified and upgraded version of source 2, but yeah.

  • You can help by writing to Apple CEO Tim Cook (tcook@apple.com) and letting him know that you won't buy Apple devices because of their proprietary software and DRM.

    There really has to be a better call to action than this:

  • Microblogging has always sucked IMO. It's always been more geared towards shouting your opinion and leaving, and it actively discourages any discussion by hiding reply threads and making it a nightmare to follow. Most people aren't ready for this take, though...

  • I don't know what weird-ass stawman you built, but it's obviously not from anything I said

    your position seems to be “we won, everybody drop your weapons and party, google is good again”

    No?

    and you follow by bashing linux phones in your subsequent comments…

    "Bashing" Linux phones by saying they're buggy and won't be ready soon, which is literally true. Even PostMarketOS says the same thing on their website. I guess you'd prefer I gaslight people by saying Linux phones are awesome, let's all switch to phones that barely work, lack any phone apps, have a terrible battery life, etc.

  • Deluded or in bad faith for sharing official news?

  • Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions!

    Jump

  • The Linux phones that exist today (including Pine Phone) are more like early dev kits. They have really weak specs, are incredibly buggy, lack all sorts of features you'd expect, and I'm not totally sure if you can even make calls through them because phone carriers require a verified device and proprietary tech to work.

    There are efforts to get things in order but these will take maybe 10 years at this rate.

  • I'm guessing they're going to hide it in developer tools with a bunch of warnings and no explanation on how to get there so regular users don't turn it on by accident.

  • That'd be nice, but Linux on phones is still a pipe dream.
