Semperverus

Support devices like the Liberux Nexx or the pinephone, especially if you are a developer!

Morbius

Pot, meet kettle.

Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.

Lol.

Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.

You realize words still count right?

The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.

I repeat the above.

Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.

That’s the thing though, there are alternatives now. They just take more discovery and setup time than most are used to.

If it’s not insisting, it’s demanding, which is worse.

There are many tools now that replace X11 behavior. If Wayland doesn’t “do what they need”, at this point there’s a strong chance they have not put in any effort into making it work for them.

For desktop forwarding there’s waypipe.

For tablet users, KDE (And probably gnome) have pretty good tablet support at this point.

For artists, KDE JUST got much better color calibration and HDR support.

For gamers, WINE now has an experimental Wayland-native mode, and barring that we have Gamescope to make it behave semi-native (so this one is more of a future-ish solution that you can use now).

Screen recording mostly just works with pipewire and almost everything supports it now including Discord.

Etc.

Those users can stick with the last version of KDE or GNOME that supports X11. They’re insisting on using unmaintained software already, so it shouldn’t be much of a leap to do the same with the DE.

It’s really not fair to demand that people building your DE for free maintain two vastly different rendering stacks when they clearly don’t want to.

You can say it in as many posts as you like, that doesn’t make you right.

73% of plasma 6 installs with telemetry enabled are using Wayland

I think that the fantasy of X11 sticking around forever is sweet, but the writing is on the wall.

You want abliterated models, not distilled.

I can’t believe I forgot about this greentext. I knew it but didn’t catch it… I apologize

There’s a “your mom” joke here but I’m not going to make it because you don’t deserve that.

That exists, its called GPT4chan, and it went exactly like you’d expect.

After the Apple ruling basically forcing them to allow side loading, I doubt google would even be able to.

Looking forward to seeing your work - it’s always good to have competitors, and gpt4all is also very crashy. If you have a lead in stability, I’d definitely use yours over theirs.

Some other areas you could probably look into if you want to differentiate are:

• Getting Started experience - recommend some high quality models and update the list as time goes on. Maybe include a good default one as part of the package.

• Convenience - include a way to do what the modern chat interfaces do where asking it to do something other than text will call a different AI model built for that purpose and return the result (image generation, etc)

• Voice conversations - Can we actually talk to the dang thing?

• Assistant module - piggybacking off of the last one, can we invoke it with a wake-word or a button press and have it “always available” (similar to HomeAssistant with a Whisper plugin, but on-device).

Anyway, I wish you well in your endeavor and will keep an eye out.

EDIT: looks like the conversational bits are on your roadmap, and you do have some basic suggestions on startup.

As for voice, the OpenWhisper module might fit your project’s theme a bit closer than elevenlabs.

Bro this is Gpt4All

What I am telling you is that while that sounds like an amazing idea in theory, in practice almost no stores offer it. How can we do that if its not even an option? I have literally never seen it done anywhere here or in any of the other places I’ve traveled to (I’ve been to about 5 different states this year alone).

Most stores dont let you take the hand scanner, and it would consume that kiosk the entire time you’re shopping.

Its just whatever is built into copilot.

You can do a quick and dirty test by opening copilot chat and asking it something like “outline the vulnerabilities found in the following code, with the vulnerabilities listed underneath it. Outline any other issues you notice that are not listed here.” and then paste the code and the discovered vulns.
