  • You can also ask it when is the cutoff date of their database - there is a gentleman's agreement between providers not to have ai involved in news / current politics in it's public chats.

    I tried them on a topic I'm pretty proficient on, (a spaghetti recipe lol) and the answer was the most bland imaginable.

    The way it is setup by DDG, the restrictions and blandness, shallowness of the replies give me peace of.mind when a 'natural language' query is the easiest one. And Claude wouldn't give me the DOB of that queen because it is Personal Info!

  • I may loose some answers in searches since I only use DDG

    I often do not read articles or information from websites if the gdpr popup isn't solvable in a click but the site ask to click on a thousand toggles

    Where I am at the moment, the lack of FB marketplace sucks

    A lot of cultural info goes through Instagram here, so I have to be a bit proactive if I want to know what's happening

    I use signal or text when possible, but work is impossible without whatsapp

  • DDG has it's non-track version online since a bit now. Use the !ai bang to get to it

    Also you have the choice of Claude insted of ChatGPT, and your queries aren't harvested for further ai training

    In any case, it's a completely different tab, it's not mingled in general search results

  • I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Ponyos, is in fact, GNU/Ponyos, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Ponyos. Ponyos is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, that version of GNU which quite nobody uses today is called Ponyos, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

    There really is a Ponyos, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Ponyos is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Ponyos is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Ponyos added, or GNU/Ponyos.

  • I know everybody always grandly takes on the High Seas, sailing them with lots of "arrrr“ and stuff, but I've found that small, quick flowing rivers oftentimes do yield a good catch.

  • I do. It's not my only machine, but it is booted into Asahi 90% of the time. I run mostly Ardour, it is my main mixing workstation & then my exports are shared via SyncThing to Backup and Playback machines. It seems to be able to pile up tracks and vsts pretty comfortably. The excellent Pipewire implementation allows me to switch monitoring equipment quickly, be it wired or BT.

    As an everyday thing, my only issue is the power consumption while sleeping. When I'm not just moving from here to there, I just shut it down, it boots fast enough really.

  • That's why I mentioned "huge private healthcare network": the employer does the Work Visa authorisation paperwork for you.

  • J'ai vu hier Sarāb en concert, c'était très très bien. Les reprises de Fairouz sont à la fois émouvantes et audacieuses, avec claviers et guitare bien pétés. Pour ce concert le festival avait invité Hiba Mekkaoui à les rejoindre avec son Qanun - Je n'avais jamais entendu cet instrument hors du répertoire traditionnel, et là ça déchirait. Une excellente découverte !

  • Check out Switzerland. Huge private healthcare network, expensive country but the salary is high too. Excellent public transport, good social protection... And magnificent landscapes, smack in the middle of Europe you have access to everywhere. You'll have to learn French or German tho. It can be a bit quiet, but very very safe. Traditional food is meh, especially if you're not a fan of melted cheese by the bucket.

  • BRB, got a dotfile to edit real quick

  • That's how I was on Slackware at the time. Reputable, functional, stable - and totally tailorable to your exact needs.

    Everybody talks about Arch as a "pedagogic" distro, but you'll learn a lot working with Slackware. I wonder if Lilo is still around.

  • Asahi supports M1 and M2 chips because that's what they own.

    M3, (and then M4) isn't there because the cheapest hardware, the Mini, doesn't exist with them... And also because work isn't finished on M1/M2.

    The way apple sees its computer customer base now as they see their iPhone base (Must Own Latest Must Buy Shiniest), I do hope for the Asahi Linux project they don't keep on iterating endlessly with new hardware twice a year.

  • You guys know that there's an actual rtfm app that condenses the output of man to human-readable stuff right? Right??

  • Je sais pas: le fediverse est assez orienté, quand on en parle les gens semblent savoir ou même partagent leur expérience.

    Ça marche bien, je bosse avec IRL. La récente sortie de la puce m4 m'inquiète parce que c'est encore plus de boulot (et de matos à acquérir) pour une équipe de devs qui ne semble pas très nombreuse.

  • Not going to push Ardour if your brains are wired for Live, but have you tried Bitwig?

    (Tho Ardour has Clip Launchers now, wink wink)

  • I guess the 1st highest-voted feature request is a Linux client for Proton Drive?
