Using fish (shell, not emulator) gets you some of that.

Yes! This is something I do on 3 of my machines. My ArchLinux Distrobox with paru works like a charm. (so far)

Okay, but openai was open source once. And then they just didn’t change their name when they changed their licenses. Which I actually think is more dishonest.

Very cool. Had I not just installed (ublue) Kinoite, I’d probably be trying this today. I’m a chronic distrohopper, and this looks very cool.

I do this using an Arch distrobox on my openSUSE Kalpa machine whenever I need anything that isn’t flatpak’d or available through my tumbleweed distrobox.

Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there’s a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?

I run into lots of websites where all I think is “this can’t possibly be a human writing this, right?” All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.

What you said about YaST, I 100% agree with.

I distro hopped a lot.

Mained Manjaro for a while… but now that I’ve found OpenSUSE, I’m not going anywhere. The convenience and polish YaST has is unbelievable.

Tumbleweed has been on my main machine for 3 years now? I also have OpenSUSE “Kalpa” installed on my TV box, and Leap on a laptop.

I dabble in NixOS, but Tumbleweed is my true love.

Very cool!

If anyone is intrigued by terminal calculators, I suggest you check out qalculate.

Makes sense. Only consoles I have are the switch, and the best console (because it’s not a console), the Steam Deck.

I haven’t played the new one, but I’m also a heretic who enjoyed Agents of Mayhem quite a lot. I’ve almost 100%'d it.

I also played SR:4 and Gat Outta Hell. Loved 4, never quite finished Gat Outta Hell.

My main gripe with the new Saints Row? It was a FortniteLauncher™ exclusive. I won’t buy it until it’s on a deep deep sale on Steam. I chose Linux, and they support my choice. Exclusives aren’t good for an open market, and I hate what Epic has done so brazenly to young audiences with predatory monetization, intentionally addictive systems, and dark patterns.

I quite like what Cory Doctorow has to say about it. (Author of Little Brother, coiner of the term “enshittification” (and much much more obviously))

It’s an excellent choice.

Agreed. Except the part about 4:3 video. That’s just upsetting to think about. “Widescreen” (anywhere from 16:9 to the 1.85:1 often used in movies) is acceptable, 4:3 is far too cramped for a pleasant viewing experience.

If you’re watching on anything other than certain laptop screens, you’re likely to have pillarboxing which is just wasted space that could be beautiful landscapes, helpful information, or artistic framing.

Truly a person of refined taste.
