Wow, didn't even know Greek is the creator's first language. It seems like it all started with Greek. First few lessons are good, but a vastly different experience to Duolingo and such. Ill have to keep at it to see if it is effective.
I use Duolingo, but at least for Greek it's really slow and inefficient. I am 2/3 of the way to the end and feel like I still suck. Plus, I learned a word for vegetarian in the first few weeks but haven't yet learned a word for money for instance. I feel like it's very badly optimized.
I'm learning Greek on Duolingo and am amazed at how slowly I'm progressing and I'm already a year in. I'll give this one a shot tonight and report back at least first impressions.
Very glad to see this! I've recently used inkscape and I was surprised by the number of bugs I encountered. I don't recall it being so buggy several years ago. Perhaps this release fixes some of the bugs. Otherwise, a real gem of OSS!
Are you then a part of a vocal majority? Have you personally asked or been asked by Mozilla about AI features? What features are you exactly missing? See, I'm not against AI, but I am against needless, brainless hype following AI. I use AI, almost daily. But I'm not missing any of the features in the browser. Hell, most of the time, I'm using chatgpt from the browser. That's all I need and dont exactly have an idea what more I would need? OCR a page? Extract an image? That all could fit in an extension, which I claim almost no one would use. What does AI browser even mean? I don't speak for everyone but it doesn't mean I don't have at least an intuition that these are all empty words and that almost no one has asked for an "AI browser". And of those that did, I'm not sure they know what they mean by that, other than general curiosity about what an AI browser might look like, likely directly influenced by the hype, themselves.
Translation is already a part of Firefox and I don't see too many have complained about this. It is also completely offline, AFAIK. What people are afraid, myself included is agentic AI capable of autonomous web browsing. That is a privacy and security nightmare, as is already demonstrated by openai's browser, which was exploited the first day it was launched. Beyond translation, I personally am not interested in any other AI features. In fact, I don't use the translation feature more than a few times a year.
No, it's not. 1. Nobody wanted AI as a feature. 2. They didn't even completely backpedal, that would be not implementing AI. This sounds like it will be opt out maybe. They may remove it if they feel like it.
You are correct, but this is about Linglong factory in Zrenjanin. I am talking here about another issue, which is not forced labour per se, it is just untaxed labour jeopardizing local job market. Unfortunately, linglong issue has been active for a while now and noone is allowed to talk about it. The chinese seem to operate without Serbian authorities allowed in the factory circle.
This is the latest in Vučić's tyrannical rule, everyone is aware, but can't do anything about. Europe is keeping silent and turning a blind eye, I think because it is good for them. He has enabled the employees of foreigner workers to not have to pay taxes, damaging locals and the entire job market. This means locals will search for jobs in Austria, Germany, etc. But it's OK, that is exactly the plan, IMO. We can pass as a poor German, if we keep our mouth shut. But a brown or black guy not so much.
I tried a snapshot release a few weeks ago, there are new features, but nothing too significant for me. I'm mostly running a stable 1.0 release, but 1.1 should be released very soon, we'll see if it's a big jump, like 1.0 was. Still a long way to go tbh, especially in terms of QoL improvements. I'm talking - why is it so hard to just extrude some text. Why browse for a .ttf file in 2026? Things like that.
This is even more stupid. Even if you succeeded in making people have more unprotected sex, if people don't want it, you're still gonna have a bad time. The children who are born unwanted aren't going to have as good of life as those wanted for many reasons. At least 1 child who was born previously got more resources and had better chances. Though both are stupid decisions, I agree. This one even more. And another reason - you hopefully see you've made a stupid decision in the past and should have not meddled with organic needs of people in such an extreme way. So then OBVIOUSLY, the solution is to double down, but in the opposite way. /s
It is a complete shitshow. The building was under government protection which they illegally tried to remove and let Kushner build a hotel. Even the prosecution has reacted, and is prosecuting the minister that did it. Vučić preemptively said he is going to pardon said minister. But what's worse is that Kushner never even wanted that building in the first place, this was a sad attempt to try to suck up to Trump. Of course, it didn't work, so now they have broken the constitution, still await sanctions from USA and haven't even made a deal. Incompetence to the max.
In the past I mostly got to persuade them to allow me to use Linux. In one, however, they got me a macbook, so I resorted to living in the VM most of the time. I had to use xcode for some of the Mac development, but for the rest, I was masochistic enough to be able to withstand living in a VM. Though that mac was Intel based, now ARM ones would likely not perform as good to justify it. Asahi doesn't work on newer ARM Macs AFAIK.
I recently set up a Navidrome/Lidarr setup and I'm beyond thrilled. Works great. I also recommend Symfonium app on android, it's paid, but it's worth it for the quality. On desktop, I'm trying out strawberry, but I find it a bit clunky, so I will probably try out other players. Use beet to download and ebmbed lyrics, and my music has never been better. I immediately ditched Spotify and haven't looked back.
Well, not raping children is kind of a low bar. But didn't he lobby Astra Zeneca not to open source the covid vaccine, because he has a stake there? Humanist my ass. Edit: someone already pointed this out already, I ought to read the thread before posting.
I bought my mom a pixel and installed graphene on it and gave her. She is by no means a power user. Never underestimate the will of nerds to go a step further :)
Based on how AI might actually replace a bunch of professions, and nobody fighting tooth and nail about it - I don't think so.
