This is great and am wishing the team well on this endeavor! One nitpick is that while the site looks clean, and there seems to be some good amount of documentation, i think there was a lost opportunity for a simple, yet more universal desc

You're not wrong! Some releases (and not just Ubuntu), it does feel like some distros are inching towards their "Windows Vista" moment, where UI aspects slow some things down...But, i think i tend to not get impacted by this

As much as i dislike Windows, i agree that the versions of the OS from that era were really fast (except for maybe Vista)!! As far as OS X, I had used OS X back around ~2007 - 2010, but can't recall what versions it was...and it perfor

I used to do this in the early 2000s! Some folks back then would ask whether i was afraid that clicking a link (which loads a "new" web page) would slow things down and create an awful experience for users...but, my team and I wou

I remember zim wiki! I used to love it! I think as a desktop app (if you will), it does a really great job! In my case, i eventually started moving away from work flows that were desktop-driven-only, hence felt zimi wiki lacked mobile suppo

Its the LLMs talking to each other in secret code: random-looking numbers! They've achieved sentience! Look at them up there, just plotting with each other! :-)

We retro-fitted a Terminator T100 model with the brain of the latest LLM models, and then gave'em 2 shotguns...and, you'll never guess what happened next! Well, actually i guess you can guess what happens next! lol :-D

Doesn't tangled do that (at least for the ATproto)? See https://tangled.org/

I think there are a few options coming around federation of repos - like extension of forgejo, and then there's a newish player called Tangled i think, etc. I'm no expert, but that is something i would like as well...and i'm

Yep, which is what i believe one manifestation of SEO spam - a bunch of crap that points to each other, further reenforcing its "authority"/"validity" in the eyes of a conventional search engine, and now agentic cra

So, the snake oil salesman in me immediately wonders if this will become the new landscape for spam....It might go something like the following... 1. Establish domain names and relevant cloudflare account including the monetization gateway

I hear ya! But technically http status 402 has set that expectation of micropayments at the http level for quite a long time (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#402 ) ...but little to no one has

A little bit of a nitpick, but wouldn't that be a picometer instead of angstrom node? Like, isn't a "pico-" the next magnitude smaller than "nano-", or am i wrong? Otherwise, that chip tech sounds really aweso

You did not come off as argumentative at all; no worries! Apologies if my reply was defensive! :-) Your point about folks perhaps framing it as generational as opposed to class is quite interesting. I wonder if maybe in the past both of th

Oh wow, that's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing! Another part of my nostalgia with those old workstations (besides the core OS) was the desktop environment, i think CDE or motif or something like that. Something about the look and feel
