I’ll go a little against the grain here. I think that LLM chatbots will definitely find application helping lonely people, and some people will develop a real connection to the bot. A relationship with a bot might be similar to one with a human, but it will never be identical. So it won’t replace human connections, but that doesn’t mean it wont have significant utility and be meaningful to people.
A coworker recently sent me a Word document with edits and comments they had added. When I downloaded & opened it (in Word on Windows!) it told me that it had the edits/comments but it wouldn’t let me see them unless I log in to my Microsoft account and then view it online in the web version of Word. What the actual fuck?
Fuck that. I responded to my coworker and asked them to just send me the edits via email in plain text. I’m not winning popularity contests at work, but what the fuck Microsoft?

If you’re nervous about the switch consider dual-booting. Then you’re not fully committed to the switch & you can have your old Windows system back whenever you want it.
Main steps are:
Some useful links:
I might challenge that. If a political organization achieves its stated goals I don’t think they dust their hands off & find new jobs.
It’s happened before that a group of people with a set of goals achieve those goals but continue to “push” out of habit, financial incentives, or a desire to solidify those goals more permanently. This can eventually lead to a bastardization of the original goals.
From a practical perspective this could create “infinite progressivism”.
Sorry you’re getting down voted & “dunked on” so much in this post. Your question was asked in good faith. It doesn’t deserve all of this negativity.
I’ll go on record as thanking you for asking! It’s a fair question!
I love the idea! $8.99 per month is a bit steep…
EDIT: Thinking more about the price, Mozilla is mostly funded by Google but this is a blatantly anti-advertising/anti-Google move. Mozilla must be trying to establish a new revenue stream to get themselves independent of Google. It’s a balls-y move!
If I’m correct in that thinking it does help justify the cost and put it in context.
I really like 1440 news which is a news aggregation/curation service. They try to be politically unbiased, and they send you an email each morning with the news from yesterday (sort of like a print newspaper).
I also read allsides.com sometimes, which is another unbiased aggregator service.
What the actual fuck
Unpopular opinion: home automation is overblown. Except for the disabled or edge cases the convenience these solutions add are comparable to the inconvenience they bring (added expensive, harder to maintain, repair, replace, etc).
I’ll get out of bed to turn off the lights.
These are my main core apps. Not fully divested from closed ecosystems (YouTube & Google Maps are in there with alternative private frontends). But close enough for me.
I think it’s not good manners to send video traffic through tor. They don’t have a ton of bandwidth, so I’ve read the community asks people to find other ways to do high-bandwidth activities privately.
“Sure, it is not perfect. But, sometimes it is incredibly helpful. No matter what you do with it, unfortunately, it is not an open-source solution.”
This article needed a better ai to write it .
Very good suggestion. Alternativeto.net is a great resource that I return to often. Eased the transition greatly when I originally left the “mainstream apps”.
This looks great, thanks!!
VR tourism. Or even better: VR historical tourism!!!
No points, no battles, no level ups, no upgrades. Just exploring faraway or historical places.
Oh yeah? I didn’t know that. I’ll have to look into it, thanks!
Awesome! Thanks!
Nice try FBI
