I remember reading that thread and what a shitshow. I ran grimmory for a while and the metadata scraping was inconsistent, especially with goodreads. Bookorbit seems to work so I’ll keep using it for now. I’ll probably end up switching back once bookorbit gets too bloated with all the stuff he’s been adding lately.

As someone who was vaguely aware of omarchy and an arch user already, I had no interest in using it. I am happy to see more people talking about why it could be controversial. It helps counter the propaganda being pushed by the influencers right now. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

I’m guessing the blurb was provided by coder and not written by the author. Like someone else said, it could’ve been worded better.

From the newsletter:

no record of what they touched

From the site:

Centralized model access and policy-controlled environments with full observability and auditability across all AI usage.

We might have some wires crossed somewhere.

Once I got comfortable with immich, I realized photos was my main use of nextcloud and immich was so much better. I replaced the rest of nextcloud’s functionality with syncthing+filebrowser quantum. Haven’t looked back since. Now I don’t have to worry about a nextcloud update randomly causing havoc (user error likely).

Floppy seems cool. I am curious about how/why people use these types of tracking services for their media.

From notegpt:

The speaker shares early prototype ideas to illustrate possibilities:

• Ultra-wide Monitor Window Management:
  • Reduce cursor travel by repositioning menu bars closer to workspaces.
  • Add a background pattern causing a perspective warp, improving visual ergonomics.
  • Blend temporary window overview (Exposé) with persistent window management.
  • Enable windows to be parked off to the sides and dynamically resized or reformatted (small interactive buttons).
  • Reduce reliance on virtual desktops for moderately organized multitasking.
• Clipboard-as-File Cache:
  • Convert clipboard history into an editable, persistent file cache associated with documents.
  • Enables dragging text snippets or web content to a “side panel” for later retrieval, improving work-in-progress management.
  • Combines features of clipboard managers, file managers, and window management.
• Local AI Context Integration:
  • Leverage local document context (similar to Claude Code’s AI using file systems) to group and suggest actions on related content (e.g., mapping multiple hotel references).
  • This creates a playground for local AI to assist without ignoring desktop UX.
• Privacy-Conscious Telemetry:
  • Collect weak signals (time on page, scrolling, clipboard events) to identify important browser history items without invasive data collection.
  • Compress and visualize history as an interactive timeline summarizing user activity flow, aiding memory and navigation.

These prototypes emphasize user control, privacy, and organic integration, avoiding high-complexity or opaque AI.`

Seems like these could fit the bill.

They keep trying to kill it but the community has done a pretty good job keeping it going.

They’re basically saying the AI companies are going to keep demand elevated to the point that supply will never catch up. It’s possible but with variables like public backlash, unrealistic power requirements, eventual financial and AI regulation, I would bet on a painful collapse.

Helldivers HDR works with this release without the gamescope workaround needed for experimental. Proton-cachyos has issues getting HDR to work properly in other games like 007 too and GE11-1 has gotten HDR working properly in every game I’ve tried so far.

Can you elaborate on what you didn’t like about what you’ve seen so far? I imagine most guides advise you to spin up an AIO instance of nextcloud in docker.

You can stop taking performance claims seriously when geekbench is mentioned.

It seems like a continuation from the DDOS attacks that still happen from time to time. If I was going down the conspiracy rabbit hole, I’d think some group is trying to keep linux in the press with bad/scary news to drive away growing interest and arch seems like the easiest target atm.

Start a new thread with your compose file (minus the sensitive stuff). I’d be happy to take a look and I’m sure others will step in as well.

Are you sure Bookorbit isn’t a fork of BookLore/Grimmory? It looks exactly like them.

I’ve been looking for something like calino for a while. I know it’s vibe coded and likely to be abandoned but it fits the need for something quick and simple for now. I don’t know why thunderbird’s calendar workflow irks me but it does.

https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Microsoft_Office_2019_and_2021_for_Mac_view-only_conversion_(2026)

The product line is bounded by a hard build cap below the 16.83 threshold, and Microsoft’s own support documentation states the issue “cannot be resolved by updating or reinstalling Office 2019 for Mac.” Office 2021 for Mac, by contrast, is still receiving updates through its October 13, 2026 retirement date & can reach 16.83 on supported macOS versions. Windows and Android versions of Office are not affected by the certificate expiry.

What is it about macOS that forces this conversion and leaves Windows unaffected?

Yeah, I like Nick but benchmarking isn’t his forte. In all the articles and videos I’ve come across, most distros perform similarly, usually within the margin of error for most games. I can’t imagine any set of optimizations that would lead to a performance increase on the level of a gpu upgrade. It doesn’t make sense.

Wendell talks about cachy quite a bit, I wish he’d do some testing but I’m sure he’s already busy enough.
