    Looks to me like they're using an LLM for _translation_, not for generating a response. The model output even says "Here's the _translation_" (emphasis mine).

    KDE Connect works fine for me and does more than clipboard (files, mouse sharing etc.).

    Minio used to be de facto here, but they did a bait and switch recently and removed the UI from the free version. Garage is probably closest to best in class for open source on pre…

    There's also https://plugandplink.com/ , which includes a hardware component to help the person learning (lights on the snake). The app also includes preprepared videos and lessons…

    I've always assumed it's a nod to the original underground signage which had offset capital letters ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/London_U... ).

    Thunderbird works well for me. Interfaces with GMail IMAP. Has a nice quick filter and all the usuals (filtering, folders, labels). The calendar interfaces with your Google calenda…

    Uh, did it? I mean, it talked about kids and YouTube in the last couple of paragraphs, which is an aspect to consider, but the rest of the article focused on the study, its limitat…

    Wouldn't it be easier to add the touch screen to an existing form factor and OS than to add all those things to an iPad?

    Don't all those things on your wish list just make it like every existing OS/machine?

    Honestly, this sounds awful to me. 1. Invite-only increases the likelihood of an echo chamber, in my mind. I go to conferences to find out about things that arean't already on my r…
