Yeah sure. Because as we all know, once a company has your money already, there’s nothing more important to them than making sure you continue to get the quality and security you already paid for already, in the past. They’re committed to you. Gigantic /S

Preaching to the choir buddy, I am a FOSS fan and pretty much everything I run is free and open-source. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

No. No… No it didn’t. Did you perhaps run it through a bad translator?

So how does this affect someone like my situation I have the software installed on iOS and a few androids and a Linux. I have them all syncing using Bitwarden’s server (I know, I’m gonna change to self-hosted eventually). Do I have to find a new platform for my passwords?

Everything gets enshittified because when push comes to shove, every human will sell out in this economic mass-extinction.

Pretty soon we are gonna have AI hackers finding weaknesses - and likely doing as much damage as possible in the process - and AI security bots patching the exploits when they’re discovered, and in between all this chaos will be us, the obsolete humans, getting well and truly fucked in the mayhem.

Anyone else see this coming besides me? So, all-y’all? Thought so.

HUZZAH!!!

I’d venture to guess often it’s someone learning to code and trying a basic project. Or even producing something entirely by AI and testing how well it produces. Or maybe they have plans for features that will come later that offer something new or better.

This is why documentation & commenting and release notes are vital, but very often the author will not bothered to do so. It’s not fun enough, but conspicuously places them in amateur status.

I agree that’s something you need to pay attention to, for sure. That doesn’t mean all developers therefore need to use AI in their applications, it just means you should stay up to date and aware of these things.

I don’t know what that is; not a professional developer. And I truly meant when I said no offense because I was simply latching onto your comment to address the principle. If you - or whomever - don’t have a problem with integrating AI, then my statement isn’t directed toward you. It seemed based on your wording, that you’re opposed to it but accept the inevitability and therefore embrace it. That’s exactly what allows it to flourish - everyone sharing that reaction.

It’s also like 99% Shorts nowadays. Just keep coking up that media-induced Attention Deficit Disorder. People’s attention spans are not quite short enough yet. Like when you start a video and IMMEDIATELY a banner comes up and covers half the screen and says HEY CLICK HERE TO WATCH THIS OTHER VIDEO! Click Click click clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick have some caffeine too.

Good thing I never bother with YouTube’s feed. I use a downloader to grab subscribed new videos and that’s that. They dug their own graves.

Laziest attitude. An excuse to just comply and conform. If it’s something you oppose, then fucking oppose it. Your expression of apathy is what most people do, but plenty don’t really want to. Then grow a spine. No offense with my hyperbole.

I don’t have any to offer, I just wanted to point out that when I read this post title, I thought “Well, that’s about the absolute nerdiest sentence I’ve ever read. Maybe that’s ever been written.” And I mean it with the utmost respect 8-)

I can totally see what you mean. I guess the thing is maybe due to my age, but coming from a good portion of my life during which organization and pattern-keeping was crucial to accessing your information, I became accustomed to very precise categorization and filing. Therefore I rarely use or need any kind of search mechanism due to not remembering where something is. Indeed, even my entire file system on clients and servers alike is very heirarachical and I only need to search when I need massive quantities of data that will invariably come from many sources.

I think searchability these days has rendered a sense of organization seem unnecessary by younger people. Even the idea of knowing what a file is and where it is, to many is a foreign concept.

But I get your point because depending on the size and scope of the project, especially with multiple participants, the idea of a single-minded structure is a joke.

Maybe I should dedicate some time to learning Obsidian. What I’d really like, to be honest, probably would be better with a personal wiki. I want a complete knowledgebase of everything I document, and that screams wiki. I could segregate stuff into their own projects but what’s the benefit? None really. I realize that now. And I can alwyas have access restrictions based on authentication, so that’s not a concern.

Thank you for sharing your insight. 😀

I have been desperately wanting a OneNote clone for years. Back in the early 2010s I used it for a massive project and it was absolute perfection. I’m talking about seriously heavy project with several users and many hundreds of pages, sections etc.

I’ve yet to find anything even approaching being close to as easy and well-organized and well-presented. I looked a little at Obsidian and I’ll try some more to learn it. OneNote took like a minute to learn and everything followed a standard intuitive design as most desktop applications of the day. I’ve been advised to look at Joplin, Obsidian and a few more, and I’ve given them a quick review but none even hold a candle to OneNote. It’s so sad because I’ve moved away from anything MS, and especially because it absolutely refuses to play well with any storage other than OneDrive, so I ended it when MS took away most of everyone’s included storage capacity. That was it for me.

I really wish we could just get an exact clone but one that let the data be on a local server. I would love to be able to use it on Linux and Android, and if possible, iOS. There’s just nothing that is as polished. One of MS’s best products ever. :-(

For an older system I’ve been very pleased with the performance of Bodhi Linux. And the UI is very customizable.

They literally don’t make any anymore? Interesting. What about dumb phones that just have the bare necessities?

Oh no not running Linux. But if your intent is to avoid running sophisticated apps, why do you need Linux on your phone ?

This is a joke or satire, no? Who the F would pay that much for a flip phone. You can get them for free can’t you?

I really don’t have a single favorite. I use them in situations where they’re the most suitable for my needs and my personal preferences. I think overall KDE/Plasma is the most versatile and flexible, customizable and theme-able. Pantheon is simple and polished, though you’ve got to install the extensions and tweaks; I really don’t know what the devs think with having no minimize button. It’s like a weird fetish that they force on all new installs. But once you add the extras, it’s a beautiful and simple interface. Bodhi’s Moksha is very weird but has its own charm. Also customizable beyond what most people even would know what to do with, but the thing I like most about the distro on the whole is it will run on lower end systems and yet still offer the kind of GUI that usually demands better resources. None of the others I’ve tried run as smoothly on equivalent low end hardware. So that’s its biggest advantage.

Like I said, each for their own scenario.
