You’re really going to argue with The Guy On YouTube??

I’m no fan of slop but I’m not going to stab myself in the eyes to avoid looking at it

Turns out it was scheduled maintenance so not correlated

There is a guy making LineageOS Android TV builds for Raspberry Pi and other devices.

Kodi is basically just a real-debrid frontend these days. There isn’t even a decent YouTube app for it.

Maybe that’s why they’re doing a 40% off special today

You are giving slop WAY too much power over your life, imo. Avoiding Linux entirely because you might accidentally touch some generated code is pathology.

What does that have to do with slop?

Please stop hyping up the power of text generators. LLMs aren’t predators with will of their own, they only have as much power as we are willing to cede to them.

The more afraid we are of slop doing something other than just being slop, the more power we are giving the companies (which are harmful) to actually control us. Don’t help them.

A debloated Google Maps would be amazing.

The hard question becomes is it better for Linux (where anyone can contribute labor) to get the attention and donations or for commercial software where only nonhuman corporations benefit.

I have a friend that was using a gas generator to to periodically charge a battery in his tool shed. One time I asked him if he thought of putting up a solar panel on the roof. He said it wasn’t sunny enough to run all his tools off of solar. When I suggested he use the panel to charge his battery it was like I blew his mind. People still don’t think of solar like that for some reason.

Canada should just stop honoring us IP. They could let a Canadian company clone Google Maps.

Lets be real though, nobody comes close on the quality of Google Maps. Everyone needs to contribute to OSM.

Not for me. Using a Canadian VPN.

Firefox can edit existing pdf text?

What others are there? This is the first I know of!

If they’re going to skip a generation this would be the one.

The extent of the community depends on the context. I think most Americans when they hear the word would think of the people in their neighborhood or town. But it can mean any group of people, like a university, the LGBT community within a city, an internet fandom message board, etc. When a politician or elected official is saying “community” without prefacing specifically what community, they are probably referring to someone’s local town or neighborhoods.

Small instances are best. I just wish the big instances didn’t have most of the communities.
