Thanks for looking into it!

If you're doing upgrades this weekend, do you think you could do Alexandrite as well? I've noticed that that's also a few releases behind.

Could you give some examples of things that worked for you on Windows but couldn't port over to Linux? I'm interested if they're related more to games or just using Linux in general.

You should be happy. Mine does a different thing every time, no matter the setting...

Picocrypt is a very small (hence Pico), very simple, yet very secure encryption tool that you can use to protect your files. It's designed to be the go-to tool for file encryption, with a focus on security, simplicity, and reliability.

Thanks! I think that's the closest to what I was looking for, and it links to a couple more in the sidebar.

There are plenty of us technical folks here who have relevant experience and are keen on chatting, but lemmy is definitely generally pretty anti-ai.

I find this, too. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to start a thread and then a lot of good comments will be contributed!

How does GLM 4.5 (Air or regular) compare to more popular models? I picked its answer once on LMArena, but that's all my encounters with it.

I would say it’s slightly more than this: The vast majority of Lemmy is comprised of only a few things—politics, tech, memes—and it’s hard to find discussions or opinions about almost everything else. The main value of reddit to me is (was?) that you could find a lot of input from people involved in a wide variety of fields, from niche hobbies to more generic areas of interest like history, philosophy, or medicine.

I’ve actually found that there are people on Lemmy with similar levels of expertise, and they’re willing to share it just as well, but they have fewer opportunities to do so, because very few threads get posted outside the 3 main topics. Several times I’ve come across useful and interesting insight, but it was in the comments of posts only vaguely related, so it would have been difficult to find intentionally if I hadn’t run into it.

So, perhaps, this is what could improve Lemmy: starting more discussions about different topics. Perhaps this will attract more people to read them, which might attract more people to post.

That’s a shame. Has the developer stated this, or is it just based on the lack of activity?

There seems to be a fork planning to continue the work. It was updated only a few hours ago.

Thanks a lot! This might just be enough to get me to actually try it!

We all know Disney hurt Star Wars well before this Disney+ stuff...

Hi! I'm interested in trying Nushell at some point, although I keep putting it off...

Would you share your experience on a couple of items?

1. How easy was it to get started?
2. Do you find, or did you at least find in the beginning, that it is more suited for some particular tasks than using it as your day-to-day shell? If so, what were those?
3. Can you integrate it with existing tools that you know how to use from other shells, like grep or awk?

There is also duck.ai, which doesn't required an account (and there's no way to even have an account).

Mistral, the French AI, can also be used without an account through their chat app, and they give an option to exclude your data from training models, even for free users.
