They snap store is proprietary

Why do they need to disrespect their users rights to that though?

Fuckyoupayme is more about setting a bar for what people can ask of you. If someone suggests something and you think “heck yeah I’d personally want that” its not really an issue.

ZeroTier looks super cool!

I mean I’m desperate for them to get a cash influx too, just not really sure how this does that. Maybe set up for another preferred default deal like they have with Google? Maybe privacy focused option as SaaS offering like they do with their VPN, but you ahead of the curve instead after VPNs became so common you trip over them.

Maybe they can offer a LLM router and privacy proxy service like they do with VPNs?

Not who you asked speculating.

I, a systems guy, have a better time learning go than nix packages.

The lang is just rough for me for some reason. I use it as glorified pigs.txt atm instead of my single source of truth for my system.

Why not just PWA to side bar extension support? If users want that side bar to a chatbot. Boom easy. If they don’t or any other option its there too.

If they really want to support local ai specifically focus on the web3 API stuff for it.

Just be a web browser dammit lol

I think you maybe misunderstanding. I mean sure those are things libertarians who are also 2a supporters rail against and fight for those things, but yeah the people who are being targeted the most are the people need to exercise their 2a the most. If the only people armed are faciest or adjacent then only their rights and interests are protected by it. Without the 2a only the states rights and interests (police, DeSantis, etc) are protected with guns.

Those aren’t all swat teams, the admin running the counter isn’t coming in stomping ass on a moments notice. They aren’t all just chilling in the catacombs waiting to march on a moments notice either.

If they did however mobilize to max effect, you don’t think the arm population would immediately be on edge? That would be a full martial law order, which could be met with heavy resistance.

I did that for work. Could have my phone but we could read so I just printed out c or python and tried to make sense of what I was reading

That is what it means to be delayed and to be hesitant.

100% like can you message me? Sure. Will I help or hell respond? Probally not tbh. Work, chores, and hobbies keep me busy enough.

I have 100% seen for myself cops shape their response out to places around where I live because the risk is not worth it to them. They focus on serious crimes and will flat refuse to go to do bs calls that are just minor neighbors disputes.

If DeSantis wants to put the state in marshal law he would have to convince the armed citizens of the state that that is ok, or expect violent resistance which again cops are people, and people don’t like being shot, so expect hesitation on following some orders.

Right. I feel like maybe Free Desktop standard, tight integration with top toolkits (qt, gtk, etc) and a some image recognition for fall back.

Honestly maybe we need something like a portable guided tour format (you the “see what’s new in …” things but from strangers for specific thing).

I will say part of problem is knowledgeable volunteers will almost always want to just cp and paste a command string over the docs needed to walk someone through doing it in the current version of GUI.

I’ve done both. Repeatable user instructions for GUIs IS NOT FUN. Maybe if we can get some automation to turn vague directions into detailed ones and better yet testable (supporting something like OpenQA) it might help lower the burden for a project to do so.

“Do not let has been burden what could be.” /s

I agree though, other common UX replication options would help user meet the OS where they are more. I also agree that most common system administration and user UX should be doable in a full GUI, they are just so nice for when you don’t know what you are wanting but will once you see it.

I also think VUI (voice user interfaces) would bridge the gap for a lot people and NLP would cover most of the worlds population.

Honestly people keep working on and it ebs and flows in progress. Its just a lot fing work to do it well. One day we will get to doing most functions with multimodal interface support (GUI/CLI/API/VUI/NLP/BCI?).

I have a mention in forward with a note being “the only documention left was a series of desperate sounding emails that the documentation was still on the now quarenteened work computers and something about a README”

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME, like I appreciate my bosses and PMs being chill and not wanting to overwork me on my way out but seriously guys I needed to hand this off to someone and put it somewhere. shrug

Privacy is a foundational right. Without it inviduals suffer from the imbalanced power dynamic of the states resources.
