They were clearly referring to the arguments provided in the article.

It does. The simplest way to use Proton with other games is to add each as a non-Steam game to… Steam. But there are also CLIs for it.

They should stop trying to do everything at once. This whole game of trying to maintain a huge server is nonsense for such a small team. I believe they should drop it completely and focus in improving the protocol and technologies around it to make it smoother for people to host their own servers.

It’s a code forge like Github or Gitlab. It uses open source technology on its backend and is often used by FOSS/privacy-minded projects.

Instead of drag and dropping you can open your HTML+CSS files and copypaste their contents.

This is exactly what you are looking for. You don’t even need to download anything.

Looking at the system journal using journalctl is always a good start. Move to the page, which shows events around the time the described incident happened and try to see if there’s anything worth of your attention, likely highlighted as a warning (yellow) or an error (red).

Your initial wording made me mistakingly think that your point was in showing that AI made creations worse but before, when humans made it themselves.

Now that I see your real point, I still cannot agree. Your arguing has a false premise of thinking that everyone wants genuine human expression everywhere and eye candy images are no longer enough. Yet proofs of that not being the case are right before your eyes - look at the amount of upvotes on this post. The ones posting comments like

I’d rather see a crayon picture than AI slop.

are a vocal minority. Most people see the good enough image generated by AI and pass on. They never bother to zoom in and look for the artifacts that it has. Most don’t have the time to look for the ChatGPT wording, they read the post diagonally for 10 seconds and move on with their life.

The argument has its roots in the problem of our different social surroundings. Maybe your life is full of people who have the time and energy to enjoy art that is not just looking decent but has a meaning, a message to it. Mine has a lot of people who are overworked and undereducated to play the game of being culturally superior, to look for humane expressions.

Sometimes, technologically decent is enough. For some people, a simple eye candy that your view for a short period of time is enough to improve their mood during a break. It does not erase the point of high art. It does not threaten it. Thus, I find people that come barking at every AI-generated piece of imagery or text or whatever, claiming that posting this is stealing from others, that such posts serve zero purpose, that it’s better to be shown something poorly drawn with crayon, ridiculous and pitiful.

This is selective memory at best. There’s a lot of so-called art by real humans and text wishes that are way way worse than what OpenAI’s algorithms produce.

Could they? What if they don’t have the skills to draw it themselves?

Not everyone lives in the so-called first world. Here the ISPs don’t care about pirating.

I have a dedicated directory with subdirectories for each project and that’s it

Definitely spam. There have been bots around that advertise crypto scam Telegram channels.

I highly recommend checking out either Fedora KDE Spin or Fedora Kinoite! Both are great choices, especially if you want to leverage the power of Flatpak for app installation, as they both push the user towards it. Additionally, if you ever need to install .deb packages, you can easily do so using Ubuntu in toolbox.

Alternatively, EndeavourOS might also be a good fit for you, providing a user-friendly Arch installation with a rolling release system. You’ll have a modern and flexible environment while still being able to use Flatpak effortlessly. You can also install distrobox there to, again, use apt inside of an Ubuntu system.

Whichever you choose, you can’t go wrong! Happy tinkering and remember that the best way to choose a distro is to try it out.

I’m just using Arch in my toolbox. Can’t run into upgrade troubles if you run a rolling release system

For those who don’t know about Escobar’s axiom: https://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/escobars-axiom-of-choice-1

Flatpak does NOT provide sandboxing. It containerises your applications. It’s better for permission management but by no means make the system invulnerable from malware.

Mine too didnd’t notice. Non-tech savvy people don’t even know what an Intrrnet browser is :)

It’s not

Am I weird, or it doesn’t look bad?
