Have I truly become a monster?
I had a similar situation with a slightly damaged screen. It was just the very top right corner of a laptop. I just created a square panel in XFCE and blocked off the corner with it so when I fullscreened a window it wouldn’t go into the corner.
Interestingly, depending on where the window is when I click fullscreen, it might fullscreen the “tall” way, or the “wide” way. I’m not sure what logic XFCE uses there but it’s pretty cool.
If you have something to say to me just say it to my face, coward. 
Is there some technical reason why they can’t fix the AI hallucination problem by hooking into a traditional “knowledge engine”? Wolfram alpha has existed for a long time now. It lets you query a database of facts about the world, and even do math on those data. Why couldn’t AI just rephrase your question into a query for a beefed up version of that and then it would automatically show its work and use traditional computing which is actually good at math and logic instead of being a very confident “liar” which seems to be an unfixable problem with LLMs?
I know AI will buck using say, python, to do a calculation, claiming it doesn’t need to because it “knows” it’s right, but what if it could only respond to a question through something like wolfram alpha?
If they put just one of their billions into building out a hand curated knowledge engine it would be much more useful more quickly than their market competitors who are still trying to make an LLM do something technically impossible.
I’m pretty sure GTK used to do exactly that, and for a while after they stopped supporting it there was a patched version of GTK that brought that functionality back.
I’m mainly salty about this because programs with forced CSDs make my tiling window manager look like shit, and getting away from them is becoming increasingly difficult.
No one ever thinks about the guy who has a super hot girlfriend who goes to another school, but has to lie that he doesn’t have a girlfriend because he knows no one would believe him.
I just hate how the CSDs keep moving the title buttons around depending on how wide the header bar is. I want my buttons in the exact same place and order no matter what. If I have to think about how to minimize/maximize/close a window for a tenth of a second it’s too long.
They also regularly take away very useful menubars and that’s even worse in my opinion.
That’s awesome actually
You can still share your data with others! How about burning dvds or filling up thumb drives or external HDDs for all your friends and family? Maybe have them bring their phones and/or laptops over and load them up directly. That would be in the spirit of sharing.
And somehow just about every one of the hundreds of linux desktop environments you can choose from features a rock solid, fully customizable taskbar(s) which can be put wherever you want. Even in gnome which doesn’t allow you to move the taskbar by default, you can still move it with an extension and it doesn’t break anything.
Just one example, in XFCE you can put a taskbar of literally any size literally anywhere. Very useful if you have a broken corner of your screen, you can throw a taskbar there and windows will dodge it. You can even create a 1px wide taskbar right down the center of your monitor, splitting it into two spaces. All of this is completely seamless, behaves exactly how you would expect, and rock solid.
So WTF is microsoft doing exactly?
I made some beans today, or as I like to call them “beens” because I already been ate them.
This is how we can still have a sequel to Xena: Warrior Princess
They only think we’re obnoxious for the same reasons they think vegans are obnoxious. Because we’re right.
When I say “use linux” I’m not just saying “use linux”, I’m saying “use the GPL FOSS ecosystem of software, stop supporting the massive tech companies making all of computing actively worse”
Especially since most of the time people aren’t complaining about windows being accidentally bad, but about windows being actively hostile to the user in a way FOSS will never be, lacking the profit motive.
Yeah I think it’s just the removal of the profit motive you’re feeling OP, and I agree.
The article you linked says rewind 3rd party, opt in, and stored locally. I don’t think anyone would have an issue with microsoft’s AI either if it was opt in and without telemetry.
Don’t forget the duress password feature. On graphene you can set up a second password that if entered, will immediately wipe and lock your phone.
I haven’t run into anything I can’t install with aurora store yet, and the apps on f-droid tend to be better than their play store counterparts when available anyway.
What’s an automatic wifi hotspot? You can certainly do a wifi hotspot “manually”
I don’t really understand still but thanks for trying all the same. 
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one thinking it!
Do you think it could be done by diffing a few of the different language tracks?
Try clementine/strawberry music player on your laptop. They scan your music library and apply a volume normalization value to each track.
I have a semi-related question if you don’t mind. People often complain about the voice tracks in movies being hard to hear, especially if you don’t have a speaker for the center channel (but even then I have trouble)
Why haven’t they solved this problem by packaging the voice track separately on the bluray/stream so you can turn up the volume of the voices only without blowing your ears out when the music hits?
Probably more that they didn’t want too many eyes on the unredacted files in case there was a
