I go back and forth between Jerboa and PWA (from Chromium). I find both missing features I really like, but that just might be from the features to which I got accustomed from Slide and Infinity and not features that are must-haves. On Jerboa, the most annoying thing to me is during commenting, where the cursor jumps to somewhere else in the paragraph and deletes a word. It’s very annoying. I thought it was my keyboard, so I switched, but nope. Maybe an incompatibility with autocorrect features. Whatever. Lemmy is still growing up, while Reddit is 18.

I’ve been preferring KDE lately tbh. Very flexible and familiar. Still don’t know what that activity thing is for though lol

Master Of Orion. Both the original, it’s sequel and the modern remake. It’s nice to play something with different pacing from other games. And the random outcomes from AI throughout the game’s progression keeps things spicy from playthrough to playthrough.

You can use most desktop environments on most distros.

If a distro has its own GUI and it doesn’t exist on other distros, usually that means either it isn’t free software or it’s not good enough that anyone has bothered to package it for other distros.

years_past_matter , to linux in Which distro has the best GUI in your opinion?

Probably any distro that ships KDE Plasma 5 as default - I’m stuck with GNOME for now as I need to use Evolution for work (EWS mail accounts), but if I had the choice I’d probably be on Plasma.

I appreciate overwatch, because the sequel cured my videogame addiction (it’s so much worse)

Deepin is great too. Unfortunately it is not fully translated so that you come across Chinese quite often.

Iwamoto , to technology in 👋 Have you stopped using Google much because of ChatGPT/Bing ?👀

I only use DDG to search for answers on the web.

At the moment, CGPT is mostly used for building me small scripts. i’m not a great programmer, but i do understand bash script most of the time. so often if i need something done i’ll just ask CGPT to build me something and i think it only made a mistake once.

Yeah choose one,

  • 12 websites written mostly by templates that are keyword-stuffed to sound like your question, and one might contain an answer in the 8th paragraph.
  • A response from a bot that’s unreliable, but extremely specific to your query.
awooo , to technology in 👋 Have you stopped using Google much because of ChatGPT/Bing ?👀

Not really (I wasn’t using Google directly anyway), I think it fills a slightly different niche than search engines.

It’s good as a fuzzy search for the sum of public knowledge, since it can understand quite complex queries and point you in the right direction, then you can go to regular search engines to find more specific stuff.

Bing was fun to exploit, but I don’t really see why it’s useful, it tends to always look up information which means it provides less of its own knowledge, I can do the searches myself better than an LM. Maybe it can provide more concise answers than all the SEO crap everywhere, but that can be avoided by searching on specific websites like reddit.
