Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: EWGGreat. Help me rename, tag, and sort all of my photos and other images.

Same with text files and other documents. Fix my Markdown mistakes. Convert MD to basic HTML to post on forums. Provide a TOC from headers on longer articles I've written.

Help me manage my workspaces and windows. Prompt me with sensible window rules automatically and nudge me to be organized. Take a look into which Librewolf profile I'm using and ensure it stays in the proper Activity.

There are simple, useful usecases for more advanced, personalized computer help tools.

Some of that is stuff I wouldn't do, and the rest sounds absolutely horrible. I do not want some idiot AI deciding how stuff gets named and sorted.

MusicBrainz has been doing it with music, without the "ai", for a long time now. Good practice is to use it on a copy of the files or to require a review before final writing/saving.

Specialized LLMs can be incredible. I was at one nerd con or another and spoke with a guy who worked in the medical industry. The company he worked for spent a long time feeding it books and other such papers. People could search using human terms and it would present exactly the right information quickly and concisely.

I'm really curious to see how Canonical, Red Hat, KDE, MZLA, etc all begin using these newer sorts of tools. I do have faith that they will implement everything in user conscious ways. Newer CPUs contain instruction sets for it. Let me get the most of out my machine, get my money's worth, and save time on menial tasks so I can spend more time slacking off. 😆

Would it be technically possible to externally have achivements if a game didn't have any to begin with?
It'd be cool for active communities to nominate and vote on player submitted achivements.

Is there any kind of standardized, open protocol for achivements?
Imagine if indie devs could simply build a small structute to talk to Sentinel and the community handles what is an achivement, the SS of it or other graphic representation or reward, name of it, and guides to accomplishing them.

No idea if any of that is doable in any capacity but, those might be really interesting next steps to expand Sentinel.

That said, I only pay so much attention to achivements to begin with but, it is nice getting them. I am curious to see what's available and make some amount of effort on obtaining what I think I can.

Quoting: Eocene84It will be interesting to see if they try to sell Twitch when that happens...

It needs to be owned by a not-for-profit or non-profit collective or co-operative.

All the "guilds" need to get better organized and take themselves more seriously. They need to double down on branding, set up homepages and better structures and by-laws.

They also need to set up microblogs like GNUsocial, host their own IRC and bridge to twitch's (if possible -- I think it is?), and their own PeerTubes. Among others.

Start emphesizing people donate directly to the hosts and their respective Guilds then use that money to support themselves and one another equally.

Right now, amazon gets 60% of subscription money. Frankly, with all the money that company has, they would be fine for a long time making far less. I would be livid and disgusted if I streamed on such a platform.

People need to think bigger and learn their lessons already.
Stop relying on closed source software.
Stop relying on centralized platforms.
Stop relying on big corporations for anything.
Get together. Get organized. Reclaim soverignty.

I would very much like to see examples of this. That's a horrible thing. From anything I've seen, nothing has directly been the offenders words.

He's been vocal on his opinions on social media, so finding things "in his own words" shouldn't be too hard.

There's plenty of articles summarizing it, such as this.

Thanks for a link. I don't have social media so, it's unlikely I'd be able to find/see anything on such platforms.
(note that social media and social networking are different things. I presume the former to be in reference to facebooger and the like.)

I looked at Hyprlands website and such. It seems like a really interesting project from a user perspective at least. Thus, the more "non-gross" people working on the technology means it can be taken over by "decent" people or organizations.

I'm all for boycotts but, we need to be careful about The Townsfolk Mentality and witch burning. People very much have emotional, knee-jerk reactions and they do so to things that have been twisted and blown out of proportion. One thin-skinned person gets offended then others jump on the bandwagon.

I've seen reports of artists going to trial for accusations, then are found to be innocent. Afterwards, the townsfolk are still up in arms. The artist' life has been ruined with no solid evidence, tried in court and found not-guilty meanwhile the public still treats the person as guilty.

This is something to watch I suppose. Bare in mind that the first step from an organization could be supporting a project, the next could be forking it or writing something new with learned knowledge. Just look at System76 and GNOME ➡️ Cosmic.

Anyway, it's great to see KDE get more support. It's great to see for-profit corporations spending money on libre software.
