So far, it’s pretty much exactly what’s on the label. Seems like a decent discord clone, things work pretty much exactly how you’d expect them to.

I’ll be able to try out fluxer more this evening as I beg my friends to swap. 😅

My only complaint, and it’s a real me complaint, is the flathub installation didn’t work like at all and I couldn’t figure out why, but most of the time flathub won’t work for me. It just means I have to go to the developer’s site and grab the file there.

Man, these two are so funny. I missed their Japan trip but I’m gonna follow this one.

‘Artificial intelligence’ has been around for quite a while. The headlines were grabbed by LLMs, but that’s not the only place that the investment money has gone. None of these major companies with public facing LLMs are exclusively working with them.

Ooh, dope! I’m gonna try this out in a bit.

Every time I go out, I do a little something. If I don’t do anything, I feel HORRIBLE the entire time. I really struggle with a negative internal monologue, so having at least one thing I’m proud of or feel cute about helps a lot with that. I really like my eyes, so I just got good at doing a little liner so I can at least like that about me.

Edit: I completely misunderstood the question. At home I don’t really doll up, but if I’m gonna be anywhere near a mirror or have anything close to a personal interaction, I’m gonna at least be presentable (in my own eyes, so like light eyeliner and something halfway cute, clothing-wise).

Maybe it’s like a jedi situation and she became one with the horny?

Huh, okay. I guess I’ll avoid going over that way. I’m hesitant to outright mute anything that I don’t immediately have a huge issue with in case it becomes a source I learn of something through.

You deleted it, but I still saw. I know what you are.

Yeah, honestly, companies that aren’t publicly traded and just do their own thing tend to be fine to okay-ish. I like Valve. Their software works for me, they were fine to work with, and I like some of the projects they’ve helped advance.

I hesitate to say that they ‘get a free pass’. I don’t think any company should get that unless they like… cured aging and gave it away for free or something, but for the time being, they’re decent.

I’d also suggest the folks at GoG are pretty good, too.

I hear a lot of negative talk about those instances, but rarely any specifics. What’s the deal with them?

I see Linux being more and more widely adopted in Europe, for one. I imagine there will either be an ‘EU standardized’ distro forked to prevent any issues of interoperability between government systems. Hopefully, such a widespread adoption for PCs encourages more development for Linux from software devs.

I wouldn’t downplay how many people are genuinely convinced this is a good idea.

What do you mean by ‘steals’ or ‘personal’? People who buy this are willingly giving everything to Amazon by buying this.

Yeah, I’m still not going back. Even if they upheld every bullet point in that post it wouldn’t make me go back.

What did Nintendo mean by this?

It hurts and it takes a while (at least on my face), and it costs a fair bit depending on where you’re at… but when it finally starts kicking in, I would STILL say it’s worth it.

I mentioned it in another comment, but I think I just need to read about this before making comments here. I have too many questions that I feel like have probably been asked a million times before and have been thoroughly answered at this point.

Right? You need tools to make something quality!

Is there a way to overcome hierarchy based on means? Groups with better access to resources will always exist, right?

The latter part of your points is what really scares me as well. It’s only a matter of time until “protecting the children” becomes “defining what adult content is” and policing gender, sexuality, and politically inconvenient ideas under the guise of morality.
