they made Google lens ai, and it SUCKS. I tried 2 queries on the same exact image and it returned completely different results…

looking for alternatives now, though doubt there will be many.

stamets situation? i’m a bit ootl. what happened?

I haven’t visited them on mobile as of late, but you could always click ‘continue’ on the chrome button and continue? unless this is an actual ad that ad blockers block

yeah, that feels like mine too. “I’m creating my desktop wallpaper using digital tools (krita)!” – “why don’t you ask ai to make it for you?”

also the same with YT content. Doesn’t care if it’s ai slop or not.

I’d agree it’s truly dissapointing.

same here. Making my Tamil more fluent made my English worse. Learning French made both worse. Using English more made my French worse, trying to pick it up again made both worse again 😂

Also, context switswitching is a bit difficult for me. :D

Most definitely! I just was kind of surprised to learn that they made PDAs as well.

I thought it was pagers before? Though when I looked through their history, it was pager -> phones. 🤷

Massive frog? Frogzilla?

I feel like the last part (“ThEY aRe TuRnINg ThE ChILdrEn [GaY/ TRanS]”) is just projection. THEY are the ones who want to stop you from being trans. The conversion “therapy” thing reminds me of this. They scream about their children being “TuRnED GaY”, while being more than happy to try to torture people into being straight.

They are talking about how discover has backends for flatpak, snaps, deb, and fwupd. not that they are together in the Ubuntu sense or other, just that they can be managed in the same application. Therefore snaps in discover are completely optional

I’d agree with that sentiment, but at least for me, if we went with all flatpacks, i’d be losing the one ability that I like about appimages, which is as a one-time-use type of “installation”. They’re kind of like those windows EXEs that you could just run in place without needing to install. very useful for stuff like raspberrypi imager where I don’t need to keep it around much

I did try a VPN (selfhosted OpenVPN as well as one provided by my university), but those didn’t work. I did try through invidious, and it worked.

nope. mine wasn’t on at the time. Just uBlock + Privacy Badger + Waterfox. Never had this happen to me before.

Boop

In my experience (Wayland + KDE), the windows shade feature is a bit iffy. It only works for some programs (maybe they arre the ones that use XWayland?? I don’t know.).

I found that deskflow is a great replacement for wayland systems. I think it can even talk to barrier!

no problem!

P.S. You don’t need a WiFi card to use KDE Connect. I have it set up on my desktop (Ethernet only), and it works perfectly. I think you do have to make sure that it connects through the same router that the wired connection uses.

On a sidenote to that, if you install kde-config-flatpak, it enables a permissions management page in system settings, similar to flatseal I believe. I haven’t been able to try it out myself, so I don’t know how well it works.

For the icloud sync, you could try rclone

Here is a tutorial to help you get started: https://rclone.org/iclouddrive/

The current Virtual Keyboard solution on KDE ( maliit ) isn’t working quite as much as i’d like. It only works on GTK apps, and only sometimes shows. When it does, it won’t relaunch after dismissal untill you kill it. Add to that it’s not as feature-dense as its windows alternatives.

I hear that they are working on their own plasma-keyboard, and I hope that will fix most of these issues, but I haven’t had the tim to update my system.
