I think more and more browsers are spoofing their UA to pretend that you're using windows, for fingerprinting resistance

well, the point of flatpak is to have bundled dependencies so they run predictably no matter the distro

if one of your software's dependency gets updated, and your software isn't, you may run into issues - like a function from the library you're using getting removed, or its behaviour changing slightly. and some distros may also apply patches to some of their library that breaks stuff too!
often, with complex libraries, even when you check the version number, you may have behavioural differences between distros depending on the compile flags used (i.e. some features being disabled, etc.)
so, while in theory portable builds work, for them to be practical, they most often are statically linked (all the dependencies get built into the executable - no relying on system libraries). and that comes with a huge size penalty, even when compared to flatpaks, as those do have some shared dependencies between flatpaks! you can for example request to depend on a specific version of the freedesktop SDK, which will provide you with a bunch of standard linux tools, and that'll only get installed once for every package you have that uses it

"AI" today mostly refers to LLMs, and whichever LLM you're using, you'll likely face the same issues (wrong answers creeping in, tending towards mediocrity in its answers, etc.) - those seem to be things you have to live with if you want to use LLMs. if you know you can't deal with it, another rebrand won't help anything

it sure seems like it though

i mean, they'll never replace system package manager, but for desktop applications, flatpak is honestly quite good

wow is me, i am le surprised

according to the github readme, you can just run sudo pro config set apt_news=false to disable those

if you have things set up the way you like on xubuntu, it's maybe worth it to just do that rather than start fresh

c'est une blague. ils ont pas osé payer pour un nom de domaine si merdique quand même !??

me semble que c'était LQDN aussi qui avait écrit sur les facteurs considérés "suspects" par la caf ou l'assmal - c'était principalement des faibles revenus et le handicap.

et ça me paraît vraiment bidon comme facteurs - je pense que, si y'a des gens qui devraient être considérés suspect, c'est ceux qui reçoivent des aides sans être handi/ALD/faible revenu/précarité/… genre, c'est normal que des gens handicapés aient beaucoup d'aides, c'est moins normal que des gens aisés et sans handicap en aient, et je peux mieux comprendre que ces catégories là soient enquêtés de plus près

iirc, postgresql renames itself in htop to show its current status and which database it's operating on

the avreage person also isn't as convincing as a bot we're told is the peak of computer intelligence

there are tons of webring still going these days!

well, i just tried it, and its answer is meh --

i asked it to transcribe "zenquistificationed" (made up word) in IPA, it gave me /ˌzɛŋˌkwɪstɪfɪˈkeɪʃənd/, which i agree with, that's likely how a native english speaker would read that word.

i then asked it to transcribe that into japaense katakana, it gave me "ゼンクィスティフィカションエッド" (zenkwisuthifikashon'eddo), which is not a great transcription at all - based on its earlier IPA transcription, カション (kashon') should be ケーシュン (kēshun'), and the エッド (eddo) part at the end should just, not be there imo, or be shortened to just ド (do)
