  • What makes Material Files better than Fossify’s file manager or even the stock one? It’s hard to tell from the F-Droid screenshots.

    Also, seconding the AntennaPod and Syncthing-Fork recommendations. And to add more recs: Voice Audiobook Player, Breezy Weather, and Clock (by BlackHawky) are really good. Breezy Weather and Clock are by far the best apps of their types that I’ve used

  • A single repo hub doesn’t want to host LLM-generated code. It’s not like there aren’t others that are friendly to LLM-code, including the largest one: GitHub. And GitHub will never ban LLM code, they’re too integrated with it. And Codeberg is just a specific Forgejo instance. Nothing is stopping you from hosting your own if you really want to.

    You’re taking a single instance of a provider adding an extra stipulation to their TOS and equating it to governments banning the use of LLM’s. It’s not, and the government isn’t going to be taking away your LLM. Quit acting like it is.

  • Huh, they added Flatpak support since I last checked it out. I’ll have to look into it.

    I have some apprehensions, since I’ve got a stupid large Skyrim modlist I’ve been working on for months, and a swap could booger things up. But if there’s better backup/import/export management than MO2 I might make the switch.

    Edit: After checking, while the author has a flatpak version in their GitHub, but refuses to publish to FlatHub, which makes no sense.

    Plus, this tool is the one that flips load order for no goddamned reason, and because of that the automated importer has destroyed/broken a couple peoples’ MO2 installs.

    Personally, while this looks more polished it seems sketchier than Fluorine once you do some digging. Also, the author of Fluorine is upfront about using LLM’s to code (it’s right in their readme). Amethyst’s author admits it under the “issues” of their GitHub so while they’re not hiding it, but it’s annoying that you have to do some digging to find it.

  • This is the exact opposite. Trying to ban AI from everything despite its use cases.

    This is a pure, bold-faced lie. But this is nothing new from AI evangelists.

    This is about banning AI contributions from specific open-sourced projects. This is due to a number of legitimate concerns that are still not solved, such as maintainability and how AI development legally interacts with licenses such as the GPL

    You want to go and start an open sourced project that uses AI from the start? Go ahead, nothing is stopping you. You want to install AI programs on your OS? Go ahead, nobody is stopping you

    But don’t cram that bullshit into the OS itself. Doing so then forces AI onto everybody whether they want it or not, and that’s bullshit

  • We’ll stop when the AI evangelists finally learn the idea of consent and quit trying to force AI down everyone’s throats nonstop.

    You want to shrivel up your brain with AI? Go ahead, you’re an adult (presumably) and I’m not your mom. Go access it through a browser or separate app. Quit trying to force it into my face by integrating it into the OS or DE. And while you’re at it, quit continually going “BuT dId YoU cOnSiDeR tHiS???1?” like a door-to-door salesman that jams their foot in the door so you can’t close it
