I've been following this project
https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/tree/main/apps/whispering
They recently got a bunch of investment and hired some staff, and so they're developing fairly quickly. I saw an update about local Whisper support the other day
Assuming it stays user friendly (currently open source - MIT), it might be a good option for you. Previously it was here:
On our donation page, we put a breakdown of how much each platform takes from the donation and I think that is why a lot of users chose to donate through the methods that have lower / no fees: https://fedecan.ca/en/donate
I imagine as Crowdbucks develops, they will introduce more methods and improve user / platform choice. Dealing with payment platforms is annoying, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with over time
Your account seems to be marked as a bot, you can fix that in your user settings if it was unintentional
Sounds good! There's also !linux4noobs@programming.dev and similar communities to ask questions for all the specific issues you are working on
recently i just finished building a new pc. mostly for gaming since my only exposure to linux is steam os and i heard its uses arch with kde plasma so i try to emulate it as close as i can. however soon i realized how different it is and it requires more setup than i initially thought.
It sounds like you're thinking of Arch + KDE as similar to building a PC, where if you get the same parts you can hook them up for the same experience.
I think their team chose Arch to build their distro off of because it's very customizable and made it easy for them to add their configurations, interface layers, hardware optimizations etc. That doesn't make it the best choice for a beginner unless you want to be thrown into the deep end and spend some time to learn a bunch.
IMO you should look into something like Bazzite or some other atomic Fedora, or OpenSuse, so that you can have a running operating system you can game on. Then you can spend some time learning about Linux with the functioning PC. There are ways to run other Linux distros inside your main one if you want to play with them and learn about them.
Unless you have another machine to use day to day, I find it annoying to be learning with the same machine I need for other things.
Yup
Auto naming functionality is neat in some cases, like the AI chat UI itself
Tab groups don't hit those points at all
The developer and the project have profiles in Mastodon, it should be possible to tag the accounts in this thread directly
Neat! Looking forward to trying out the new changes.
By the way, you can use one account to post to all the communities. For example, if you wanted to use your lemmy.world account, the links would be something like the following:
Some guides here:

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-open-in-my-instance
You could also keep using multiple accounts, but I find that to be more tedious.
Thanks :)
I found the headline confusing, I think they're saying
The Iconfactory, a design and development [company], is selling some apps — and AI is partially to blame | TechCrunch
As for the AI portion
“ChatGPT and other AI services are basically killing @Iconfactory, and I’m not exaggerating or being hyperbolical,” Iconfactory developer Sean Heber said in a Mastodon post earlier this month.
The issue isn’t that people are using AI instead of mobile apps, but how vibe coding is affecting the need for app design firms like theirs. Besides building its own apps, the Iconfactory generated revenue by offering app design services, which include things like icon design (hence the name), app design, marketing asset creation, plus branding and consulting services.
That could pose separate issues, since we need fibre to have proper digestion. The scenario would need to account for it somehow (proper flow through the digestive system, water absorption, keeping the gut microbiota healthy, etc)
I saw this article earlier:
Tesla 'going bankrupt' is endpoint of protests, says local organizer
In the spirit of right to repair, self-hosting, giving a second life to old devices, and limiting data collection by car companies:
An example that came to mind was Valetudo, which is a cloud replacement for vacuum robots enabling local-only operation. Some robot vacuums are easy to install this on, and others require more invasive modifications.
What I've found so far:
Nearly 1 million Windows devices were targeted in recent months by a sophisticated "malvertising" campaign that surreptitiously stole login credentials, cryptocurrency, and other sensitive information from infected machines, Microsoft said.
The campaign began in December, when the attackers, who remain unknown, seeded websites with links that downloaded ads from malicious servers. The links led targeted machines through several intermediary sites until finally arriving at repositories on Microsoft-owned GitHub, which hosted a raft of malicious files.

If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.
Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)
The article is actually discussing a feasibility study for the far future (25 years from now as per the article):
It's a cool idea and I'd imagine we'd need an array spanning the globe rather than just over one continent
