Interesting. I’ll have to see how it compares to Trillium Next.


CEO’s are almost universally out of touch with reality, and usually chase trends thinking it will help them get higher profits and garner more investment. AI is just the newest bandwagon for them to mindlessly jump on.


I think it’s supposed to represent a lowercase ‘a’? But it doesn’t quite work for that either…


Everything in there is a fantastic improvement, like damn, that’s some fine ass UX design.
I’m not as big of a fan of the logo redesign though, I think they needed to retain the waveform between the speakers, IMHO.
Enshittification will come to all proprietary apps sooner or later.


It’s genuinely impressive how the whole ecosystem of proprietary software is speedrunning enshittification at an unprecedented rate. The net is tightening, and the only escape is FOSS.


Surprised to see this game is still actively developed. I played it briefly as a teenager, but at the time is was very half-baked. Wonder how far its come after so many years.
Yes. It should be enough to simply be a person of integrity.
Reminds me of the intro to space quest 2.

The Telo is also quite a nice small size, but unfortunately double the MSRP, with the base model costing 41k. It’s targeting a different market segment. The Slate’s theoretical low cost is a big draw, despite it being less featured (that’s actually what makes it appealing, IMO).
The Slate is the currently the only modern option for a mini-truck (if it releases).


It used to be a fork of Mint offering the desktops they dropped, but since they switched to Debian as the base, I don’t know of any reason to pick it over Debian itself, it’s pretty pointless, AFAIK.


Organic Maps leadership became sus, so the community forked.

tl;dr they began to introduce proprietary code and were caught using project funds on personal expenses and vacations.
Too bad it’s being actively killed by Google. :(
Didn’t centos users switch to Rocky or Alma?


If you’re not able to find an adequate solution for Obsidian, you may want to investigate TriliumNext Notes.


There’s very good reasons that app developers focus on flatpaks, which mostly revolves around how incredibly terrible the experience is creating native packages for each distro and each release version of those various distros.
Flatpak used to be problematic, but even a loud hater of Flatpak, Richard Brown of openSUSE, now lauds Flatpak as an excellent solution after his criticisms were addressed.
I was able to switch myself and my family to vegetarian thanks to how good plant based meat alternatives have gotten. If you haven’t yet, I highly recommend trying out Impossible meat products. Their burgers put in an air fryer are indistinguishable from real meat for me, same with their ground beef.
I’ve been able to cook all of my family’s favorite meat based recipes with impossible meat with no changes to the recipe, and all of them, who are life-long meat eaters, tell me they can’t tell a difference.
