I’ve been thinking about this and I wonder if Linux can have more success if we have pocket computers that gradually add phone functions instead of trying to have phone hardware work with a system that isn’t made for phone-like experience in general.

I think we’re naturally a bit suspicious of freeware as “misleading” because so many old software used to be just vectors to install malware (mostly spam) alongside it. At least for me, I only trust it either if it is open source or it has a sustainable business model.

The whole point of the GUI is to be more intuitive. If you need to go to the internet to realize how to do the basic stuff, that means your GUI “failed” in its purpose.

That’s still unavoidable for very complex UIs though, but still you measure how good a UI is at helping people accomplish their tasks.

Yes, they made it unrestricted which means they’re charging you considering you can use it a lot. That’s what I mean. Using LLMs APIs isn’t free so it has a cost embedded, which they certainly calculated, or else they’d run the risk of it being abused.

Yeah, a video is a video.

Problem is that requires carefully testing, and not every company wants to have a half-assed port that doesn’t have a good experience on the desktop.

I mean, the way I see it he also has an economic incentive to endorse more AI everywhere.

On the other hand he seems to be one of the people actually pushing for saner legislation.

Seems like it allows self hosting as well. It seems to have more stuff indeed.

It isn’t a native UI, but the effort made to look native on each platform must be appreciated.

This is very useful. I think I’ll stick with it.

This is awesome, reminds me of that article about memory which was also interactive: https://samwho.dev/memory-allocation/

I remember some old papers talking about Android’s runtime (which is garbage collected) x iOS (reference counted) in which Android was more efficient with high memory, but less efficient with lower available memory.
