When I went to the main article link [0] (which for some reason was linked from a Twitter comment), it said "Page is not supported" It's also not on archive.org Wayback Machine it seems. So can anyone please copy and paste th

And what if you let a human expert fact-check the output of an LLM? Provided you're transparent about the output (and its preceding prompt(s)) ? Because I'd much rather ask an LLM about a topic I don't know much about and let

Oh man, if automatic dark mode (dependent on whether dark theme is engaged on phone) is added, I would switch immediately.

Thank you for your extensive reply. > a flakey feature for new users was (correctly) considered worse than not having a feature at all. Would you say that implementing a flakey feature in the first place was a bad idea? I'd think th

Yes, however it is also the most feature-complete UX.

While that would perhaps be the best solution in the long run, wouldn't you agree that gains in userbase necessary for growth (or at least sustainability) are predicated upon how good the UX is _currently_ ?

On the contrary, a meteor (or better yet an ELE) is long overdue.

This. I tried Neon Stable a while ago and it felt like the developers were already spread thin across the KDE ecosystem. I think more projects like this (while not otherwise intended) will only exacerbate these issues.
