I wonder if they can sense my unease at that level of surveillance
Either way I disagree with you. I think we have differing opinions of what good actually is, and gnome just isn't good anymore to me. Best of luck to you though.
Current KDE feels like the most well put together DE I've ever used, and its really efficient once I get my custom keybinds in there.
Imo use the model that makes the most sense when you ask it stuff, and personally I'd go for the one with the least censorship (which imo isn't AliBaba Qwen anything)
I also hope you see the irony of your ways.
How could I be so clueless?
Believe it or not the world has come on a long way in 16 years.
Believe it or not adults playing conkers or people playing conkers outside of schools isn't a common pass time.
It is pretty much RNG, though you can massively nerf a conkers structural integrity by making the hole through the middle poorly, so there are some techniques. People also used to use thicker shoelaces like in vans, which I think made the centre more solid. I've never run an experiment to verify the difference that might make.
I do wonder if by banning it in schools it will get less and less common till it disappears. I suppose you predictably think that's nonsense.
But pedantry aside, its banned for the people who used to play it most and enjoy it, at the place they did just that.
For the yanks and elsewhere, yes conkers is well known in Britain. You basically put a chestnut (but its a conker) on a string by making a hole in the middle. Take turns swinging them on the string, whoever's breaks is the loser.
It used to be great fun till it was banned/requires eye protection now. There's an opportunity there, someone could make a perfectly safe conker app. I'm sure that would adequately replace it. /s
My only options have been to make companies or freelance.
I do think the world needs more "generalists" though as we're often the only ones placed to even half understand, combine and fully utilise different specialists.
If there's one thing we don't like it's FUD on the future of something we want to have completed/easily maintainable.
I would recommend spinning up the most basic site from scratch to give it a try, takes minutes tops and its got a built in dev server to see your site.
It pretty much all rapidly clicked into place from there. The idea of adding content as markdown is so easy and appealing, and the flow is so logical. The build times make me smile. Everything feels so rapid and under my control.
Decided to seek out the absolute antithesis of WordPress after this experience, and don't wish to be dependent on peoples whims so much anymore.
I recognise the limitations of SSGs, but I think these are overcomeable, and the benefits (Speed, CI) seem massive.
I am open to hearing other suggestions people may have though.
Matt, if you read this...
:(
It doesn't mention money, but certainly an agreement from someone that seemed to personally know the project lead.

A lot of the subscription based pull ins could be replaced by networking into a machine running whisper/ollama etc anyway.
Keep up the great work I say :)
You can make a case that partial self driving is a route to FSD, the ISS is en route to Mars and (you can make a potentially slightly less compelling case) LLMs are on the way to AGI.
No one can make a case that lady was en route to the tech she promised
I think the more abstract and less defined the end goal is, the easier it is to make everything look like progress.
The blood testing lady was a pass/fail really. FSD/AGI are things where you can make anything look like a milestone. Same with SpaceX going to Mars.
