> Wikipedia doesn’t really cost anything because it’s just static text

Thats like saying facebook or twitter are just static text.

Wikipedia is not static text. It runs Mediawiki which runs on PHP and requires a database, plus all forms of caching. They also serve media (images/video) have users, discussions, comments, etc.

And at wikipedia's scale they're not trivial problems to solve and dont cost peanuts for hosting.

Except this game does not have poor graphics. They're gorgeous. Bad FPS and draw distance yes, but not poor graphics.

I use DDG for almost everything except local results. It works but I would feel better if they reduced their dependency on Bing.

I knew a guy who served tens of terabytes of uncached content per month using Cloudflare's free plan. Cloudflare reps tried to call him for meetings "to discuss his usage and satisfaction with cloudflare" multiple times and he avoided them for years. He stopped for other reasons but afaik they never banned him.

I expect these rules are a formality to ban users like him.

Even if its not a given just set it www.yourdomain.tld to redirect to yourdomain.tld

Haven't played TOTK but its predecessor BOTW is one of the best and most open immersive open world games of all time. All physics mechanisms work with other mechanisms and if you can see something, you can go there/interact with it. The map is also big enough thats its in top 10 largest open world maps and from what I've heard TOTK has more than doubled that in size.

The reviews claim that TOTK has only improved in the immersiveness aspect as well.

The fact that it runs on the switch (and they managed to fit it in 18 GB) is a huge feat.

Nintendo nailed it again. Almost every single outlet gave it a 10.

And the fixed the performance issues too, even Digital Foundry was impressed at how drastic of a change the day one patch was compared to the cartridge version.

Thats on Microsoft not Google

Never said it wasn't, thats why I used Android's example and then also called out Apple.

Microsoft apps exist on Android and they're not forced to open links in Chrome on Android. If the user chooses, they can open on Microsoft Edge on Android. The user can set their own browser preference - and Google doesn't force them.

Apple doesn't allow other browser engines but it's on them.

None of these bug tech corps are in the right here, but MS is being more anti-competitive than most.

Whats the excuse for this ? Whisper is open source, resource efficient and can easily work on device. I wonder why they havent switched to that.

How is it that Brave managed to build an indexer and remove dependence on Bing in less than two years but DuckDuckGo hasn't been able to do it in a decade.

Why not have haptic feedback like in phones

I love that its google searchable which fixes the "knowledge-loss after afew days" problem.

Zim was cool but I wanted something that could work on multiple systems without waiting for files to sync and bookstack works over the web.

The problem with security keys is that they're expensive and you have to carry them around.

TOTP is cheap and much better 2FA than OTP over SMS.

Might not be for you but it is for me and countless others.

I am quite obsessed with keeping a personal wiki, like some of these people described in the article. However, I simply cannot imagine doing that in an application that isn't controlled by me or doesn't work completely offline. I dont want my life to be organized around an application that charges a subscription and my workflow is at the whim of a corporation.

I went from Zim to Dokuwiki to Bookstack (where I've been for the past 3 years). The former is an offline app and the latter two are self hosted. All three are FOSS.

Anyways, I did try Notion once, it was super slow (feels sluggish) and the search was bad.

Edit: after reading some other comments, one thing I really appreciate about Bookstack is that its opinionated and batteries included -> no falling into the "waste all your time customizing and perfecting your workflow" trap.

They sell you the hardware and your copy of the operating system when you purchase a phone. What software you run on it should not be Apple's concern.

Yes because theyre distributed through the app store.

If you distribute via sideloading - Apple cannot claim that they had to incur the costs of vetting each update, distribution, payment processing, security, server maintenance, etc.

Isn't this the reason why people recommend using the flatpak version of Steam ?

Only for cards/knowledge graphs

They'be been in the search game for a long time. Its time they stop relying on bing and build their own search tech instead. Or mix and match atleast.

So you're saying Apple knows what I like and what I don't ?

It should be my choice

Just tested it. I tried to get it to write a conclusion after giving it my report and while is was correct, it was kind of silly, a far cry from chatgpt. But again, this is the 7B variant and its open source.

I'd rather have that than closed AI models controlled by afew corporations

Is there a way to check the queue for this ?

I sent it one small text (actually a task) five minutes ago. Its still loading.

StabilityAI is the real OpenAI. Thanks for this.

All applications on fdroid's main repos are

a) open source b) built by fdroid's CI from source without depending on external executable binaries.

Nope, to access play services you have to add the powered by android logo and preinstall a minimum set of required apps (including the google search app), but afaik nothing saying google has to be the default search engine.
