Might be a crazy statement, but I believe Meta is on the right track. Right now, I think most people can clearly see that more and more people are getting addicted to the little device in their hand.
The "Metaverse" is going to be a more interactive, immersive extension of that device. I also believe that Meta's superintelligence team isn't necessarily about achieving AGI, but rather, creating personable, empathetic LLMs. People are so lonely and seeking friendship that this will be a very big reason to purchase their devices and get tapped into this world.
Surely this would be easy to fix with a simple script that runs on a VPS to alert you on a platform of your choice, maybe using something like Apprise (https://github.com/caronc/apprise). Get the notification as an email, on Discord, Signal, etc.
This does complicate the system a bit, but still low overhead in my opinion.

Denuvo is effective enough that if a game has it, it is almost impossible to pirate. So in most cases, it is either pay or do not play the game at all.
There was one key player who knew how to crack Denuvo DRM. They went by the name Empress but haven't cracked anything in the past year, and also mentally deranged, often including very transphobic rants in the NFO file of the torrents they release.
If you were working with code that was proprietary, you probably shouldn't of been using cloud hosted LLMs anyways, but this would seem to seal the deal.
Wisconsin local, currently attending UW-Madison for CS, and visited the Epic Campus when I was going to a local high school less than 30 minutes out. Talking to the engineers and exploring the campus is what solidified my choice in deciding to become a software engineer, so thank you Epic!
Still feels like the solution here is just using Windows 10 IoT LTSC to avoid all this madness. It's a bloated product that feels worse to use than Windows 10, plain and simple.
Kagi is a tough pill to swallow. Their search is hands down the best around, there's no other way around it.
That being said, $10/mo is also expensive.
The workaround I found is using Kagi Ultimate. I get access to Claude (and I'm still able to attach files + access a dozen other LLMs) for $25/mo, so I was able to cancel Claude and keep Kagi and get the best of both worlds from either product.
Side note: incredible that a small team like Kagi's can somehow use LLMs more effectively in search than a company that has years of search experience (i.e. Google)
> but I cannot sustain that level of concentration for long periods as I once could.
This scares me. I'm younger and thus, I feel like social media and short form content has had so much impact on my ability to focus that it already feels bad where it is right now. Never thought this might be the peak of my concentration power though.
Good changes! My experience with the Universal Blue images have been amazing. The stability is great and it really brings the "it just works" feeling to Linux.
Containers aren't perfect, and sometimes getting something installed in a container can be difficult, but once you have it working, it is always reproducible. For example, getting Android Studio working on Bluefin was a bit of a difficulty (the flatpak does not just work out of the box).
It's high overhead, but having a VM just for Excel isn't that insane. Performance differences these days are negligible, and if you are just using Excel I doubt it's that much of a problem. There is also Google Sheets.
For planning, Jira is king and available as a web app.
This is great when you completely discount almost all gamers or people doing graphical work? Proton is only so good and many games are still completely broken.
Not a fork, it is just based on Gecko from what I can tell on their GitHub. To be fair, Zen is clearly targeting a regular audience who most likely do not know what Gecko is.
There is an app called Kiwi Browser that does support extensions on Android. The issue becomes no sync, which I think is also a feature you are looking for.
It makes sense that Chrome has never built it, have to keep the users from using Adblock.
Also important note, but Firefox account settings/sync is End-to-End encrypted, a nice privacy feature compared to the much more invasive Google Account sync.
They only compared to Firefox-based browsers which does make sense. Most people are already firmly on one side of the Chromium vs FF engine debate.
Compared to Brave in what terms? Speed, not sure, but Chromium is known to be better. As far as I know, Brave doesn't allow split tabs or workspaces though.
