I only started using it a year or 2 ago, but I do agree with you. Every time I’ve opened it the past few weeks, it’s AI this, AI that. I’ve basically stopped opening the app because it went from cool tech news with interesting discussions that made me feel like I was learning stuff, to repeated discussions about new AI models.
Definitely agree with you, but as I said originally, OSS doesn’t really have the capacity to tackle this stuff… You can’t say “we have no AI apps” if you don’t have a way to constantly be checking and guaranteeing that.
However, if this is really a major problem for you, maybe try contributing to a project you like? Look for AI apps and send take-down requests to the devs of the app store you found them on.
Might not be the simplest solution, but as the saying goes, “be the change you want to see in the world”.
I mainly use F-Droid and unfortunately I’d say a lot of the “new” and “recently updated” apps seem like they were most likely made with AI.
Idk if it’ll be easy to find an open source app store that completely restricts AI content, because that means somebody would have to be manually monitoring it and investigating each project that’s uploaded, which most OSS doesn’t have the capacity for.
I thought I remember a blog post by them explaining how it’s impossible to catch up with Google results due to the control they have and money involved, so they have their own indexing service that also pulls from others that they pay for access to (other than Google).
I may be wrong but that’s how I’ve understood Kagi’s results as I’ve used it for the last 2 years…
Edit: Found the article
Does Joplin really take a long time to start up compared to the rest? I just got it downloaded and synced with my server yesterday and so far it opens up almost instantly every time.
Basically the reason Saw is doing the crazy shit is because he’s an old guy with cancer and his health insurance said he’s too old to get care so they’re just gonna let him die. So he starts taking it out on people that are/could be related to the reason he was denied health insurance (in the 1st one I think it’s his doctor?)
At least that’s how I recall the story
I’ve heard of performance problems trying to produce in a VM so haven’t tried that, but if you try it and it works let me know because I’d love to stop dual booting.
I’ve tried getting FL Studio to work multiple times but keep running into little issues. Tried Bitwig but can’t get the workflow down since it’s too different from FL. Unfortunately the best way for me is to dual boot since I don’t want to spend time fixing broken settings when I want to produce. Sadly it’s the only thing keeping Windows on my PC.
Funny in a “lol true” way
Dominant personalities and work styles almost always make it up to management.
Let me just put that here for you to read again
