I mean, there’s Scottish English (inb4 someone tells me about Glaswegian being different than $idk), American English etc, so Euro-English might be a tad broad but I’m sure it exists.

And then there’s German English which a lot of my older coworkers seem to excel at… “Ja, also, as you see, ve have here not a problem anymore, ja, and ze dropped calls are removed from this node, okeh?” (real quote from a regional manager)

I know it’s not exactly the point of the article but for a lot of things, I reckon a good amount of ‘innovation’ was pretty pointless. I personally don’t think I ever needed anything that Office 2003 can’t do… (Of course I don’t use any MS office to begin with but you get the point)

Not quite.

$16k to get closer to what they promised lol Probably won’t do that much considering the added weight

German govt: 😊😊

I agree on the part that Musk sucks, OpenAI also sucks.

And yup, open source (if you can really call them that, I’d say they’re more like openly available) locally hosted LLMs are cool and have gotten pretty efficient nowadays.

My 5 year old M1 MacBook Pro runs models like Qwen3:14b at decent speeds and it’s quite capable (although I only ever use it for bullshitting lol).

Chromebook? Lmao

I don’t think the video was bad and I’m glad desktop Linux is getting a good amount of attention this way.

But… I feel like he didn’t exactly show windows users what really expects them on Mint (which is a very similar but in many ways better and quite easy experience). This might be off putting to some unconvinced Windows users.

His Hyprland setup looks cool if you’re into that sorta thing but it’s just not what users just switching to mint, fedora, whatever might be looking for.

LLMs themselves certainly aren’t tho

Not saying there aren’t any issues with them but still

I use Ollama+Open WebUI to create the most fucked AI characters to have a laugh at when chilling with mates lol

Can be good fun if you’re a bit of a nerd

I always think I like the idea but then, once I think about it for like 12 seconds, I realise that it is, in fact, absolutely useless for most people because the internet is quite fucking useful and almost always necessary lol

I “used AI to cover up their actual design” as well (based on absolutely fuck all and a few minutes of processing on my 5 year old laptop)

Pretty funny in the US context tho, I’d imagine it wouldn’t be too hard for them to get google to “help”

A fucking Chromebook lmao

Step 1: don’t

Time to publish some bullshit then?

Precisely this.

The user is free to use whatever they want but I’m quite sure windows won’t read their mind either so that argument (if you dare to call it that) is pretty much weightless.

I struggled with terminal blocking me from doing anything unless I run right commands

Lmao are you serious? Did you struggle with it not opening the right applications unless you click the right icons as well?

Yeah unfortunately we’ve started calling any LLM “AI”

“AI” (as in LLMs for the sake of having LLMs accessible on your phone) is so fucking useless…

From a technical standpoint it’s pretty cool, I love playing around with Ollama on my PC every now and then.

But the average Joe seems to think it’s some magic being with absolute fucking knowledge you can talk to using your phone. Apart from being stupid, I think this might actually endanger human capabilities like critical thinking as well as reasoning and creativity.

Well to be fair, there’s no export feature on BeaconDB yet… But that’s being worked on, Joel, the dev, is still a little unsure about how that data should be handled in regards to AP owner and contributor privacy I think
