Did you have to enable non-free for that? Or, I guess, nowadays it would probably be in non-free-firmware.

Thank you for this!

I've been looking into tui file explorers and to replace nvim-tree, and so far only explored netrw and ranger. I sort of like netrw, but I dislike the key bindings and navigation. I like the features of ranger, but I would prefer something built with a compiled language. (Or lua if used solely with neovim)

So this is a very well-timed post :)

Ah yes, because rich == bad

It's possible to be successful and have a good influence on the industry. Valve is the perfect example of that.

PF works with proton, I use it. But you have to continuously call it to stay open. (On linux)

What i found to work the best is to generate and download a config file, then import it into NetworkManager. There's a plugin for wireguard here: https://github.com/max-moser/network-manager-wireguard

This way, it's easy to add routes, autostart, etc. But I don't think a safe killswitch is possible.

Edit: But since this is a piracy community, i should mention that qbittorrent has a setting for specifying the network interface, so it's easy to force it to use the vpn connection only, in place of a killswitch.

It seems to me that you misunderstand what artificial intelligence means. AI doesn't necessitate thought or sentience. If a computer can perform a complex task that is indistinguishable from the work of a human, it will be considered intelligent.

You may consider the classic turing test, which doesn't question why a computer program answers the way it does, only that it is indiscernable from a human response.

You may also consider this quote from John McCarthy on the topic:

Q. What is artificial intelligence?

A. It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.

There's more on this topic by IBM here.

You may also consider a few extra definitions:

Artificial Intelligence (AI), a term coined by emeritus Stanford Professor John McCarthy in 1955, was defined by him as “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines”. Much research has humans program machines to behave in a clever way, like playing chess, but, today, we emphasize machines that can learn, at least somewhat like human beings do.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the field devoted to building artificial animals (or at least artificial creatures that – in suitable contexts – appear to be animals) and, for many, artificial persons (or at least artificial creatures that – in suitable contexts – appear to be persons).

artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings

That would be similar to saying you are assuming the user has opened the gui application, not just randomly clicking the desktop.

Of course I'm assuming they already know what application they want to use before exploring its capabilities.

$ command -h
$ command --help
$ man command

I have a lot of tab completions installed, too, so i can also just hit tab to get a list of all possible options, etc.

𝕏 (U+1D54F) and/or 𝕩 (U+1D569)

If you search blackboard bold or double-struck letters you can find more.

More bloat from flatpak overhead :^)

That's not what they, or the stats, said. You can use chatgpt without plagiarizing, just like how you can use wikipedia without copy-pasting the whole article.

I meant for all packages. But when it comes to the actual details on how to do it, I'm not super sure. I know pacman is pretty sophisticated so it might support querying the package repo (or local package db) somehow. I would start by looking up the -F option.
