He doesn’t know what WINE stands for lol

No, it just makes containers like distrobox but for each application IIRC.

A company that you trust with your privacy (one aspect) has been caught in league with mass surveillance loving fascists? Yeah I am sure that those are a perfect mix and it won’t lead to mass surveillance of its users like the dozens of VPNs now under Israeli mass - surveillance - fascist control.

It is just a complete coincidence that the people pushing more and more mass surveillance are buying up (and in this case winning over the controlling part of) the ways for normal people to avoid mass surveillance.

A screen is always a significantly worse experience than physical programmable buttons sadly

Excuse me if I am doubtful lol.

Nearly every country requires an ID. 80% of Europe or so, nearly all of Asia including China and India, all but 1 country in Africa, Australia, many/most countries in the Americas.

It is going to end up like seatbelts and surveillance in America. Tons of complaining and bitching and grand threats, but everyone immediately capitulating and putting up no resistance. That is just how humans are I think and this is a lot less of a deal than other surveillance being done daily (as long as encrypted messaging stands) since you are completely fingerprinted on your phone anyway and your identity is widely tied to your browsers and apps and google/apple accounts.

I run Handy with Parakeet for speech to text, and home assistant with Whiper for the same. Whisper+ on my phone.

I think that counts. But I have more relevant and useful things to do on my hardware and no 2000€+ to get LLM-capable hardware 😂

Would spamming low effort comments to fill a quota then fall under the spam bit, not necessarily self promotion bit? It would be quite obvious and from what was written in the post, moderators have more hand-wavy freedom to decide what is spam.

I have no dog in this fight either since all of my projects are open hardware so nobody cares anyway because it would cost money to build it and test it out 😂

Ah and mega corporations never die, so never 😂

It will be robots sent to kill humans, whether by another country or the country on its own citizens.

Robots killing robots is just damage to capital which the elites will make sure is not the path forward.

But python is more of a first class citizen in libreCalc.

You can use Numpy, Pandas, matplotlib, etc… In both excel and librecalc since recently and excel has a hacky runtime inside of it that often has to be restarted if leaving it idle for too long.

You can do 10x what you can do in excel + VBS with python packages. Dataframes alone for data analysis is night and day compared to VBS hacks.

It is certainly not open source, but it is a copy left license.

You could make the exact same argument for literally any open source project where someone forks it.

The “power” of open source is that in theory if the creator went rogue that the public can switch to the fork as the main app used.

I really fail to see if the dataset is open, how the data itself (of course not the web domain or front end) would be any different in a fully open source project. Maybe the transfer to a new app in the last case would be quicker, but that is about it. The dataset is the gold here.

WhatsApp is used for businesses a ton here in the EU. A customer-facing business owner like a cafe/restaurant it is almost required in some places. So much much more than “inconvenient”

That is amazing. I was planning on buying the Esp33-S3 - ESP32-H2 and trying to make an adapter board for PoE, but this will be much easier if I can buy it in the EU

Sadly, people will still steal it and sell it no matter the license. Companies might be slightly more hesitant to steal it, but anyone selling at flea markets will not even give it a second thought.

Communicating with external devices via USB or the old D-Sub connectors.

Printers, microcontrollers, instruments, etc… Directly instead of through the OS.

Notably, ESPHome Programmer uses it for flashing ESP32s wired. Other companies like Solo Motor Controllers use it for delivering a user GUI to customers that is always updated but that can switch between versions instantly for production without having to having to deal with window’s broken method of having to manually search and download .exes for every program.

Really? Holy shit I can switch to zen fully at work and at home and uninstall chromium. Webserial was literally the only thing I needed

Price.

That is what they do better.

Many many MANY people would sooner buy something for 5 dollars 20 times then something for $100 once whether financial necessity or not feeling guilty for buying the super expensive thing.

Hey there!

This is a job for Handy. I recently started using it with the Parakeet recommended model. It works very very well. Whisper packaged with Wyoming that I run is pretty much unusable for dutch but Parakeet in Handy seems to work quite well. Direct input of text into whatever program you want. Downloads a small local model and works only on your computer. Push-to-talk or toggle, tons of customizations.

Note that this just speech to text and the models aren’t made for post processing. So it will dictate exactly what you say, umms and everything. If you want cleanup, formatting, etc… Then you have to rely on a much more general model, but the makers are experimenting with an opt-in for that for various external AIs.

Hell, Runkeeper was a thing with a social network before strava and still exists.

It even gives cadence which strava doesn’t do (at least not the free tier), but the Apple cult picked up Strava and it became the runner’s status symbol as Apple devices are yoany people in America/Sweden/etc… and then that spread over the rest of the world.

Personally I have only a hundred notes or so and really only the basic plugins and it still takes up to 10 seconds to load and become usable on my phone.

It is definitely not fast loading up but it is very fast in most other use cases I have seen. At work I use it with getting more towards 1000 notes and it works fine there usually, though there is some windows+ electron weirdness
