@jns @blendernation However it seems they're already using Claude to write stuff. Ugh.

@fossdd why? I mean, Ardour has already forked GTK2 and is maintaining it for themselves, so? :P

"You will be left behind if you don't use LLMs"

if this means I get to keep my files instead of giving full access to my account to a probabilistic agent which may delete them all in no time, then, sure! I'm in no hurry anyway.

xD

@valpackett Yeah that's the main issue.

Fortunately most apps I run are CLI-based or lightweight GTK3/GTK4/Qt apps.
I will say though that KDE Plasma Mobile runs almost butter smooth on Exynos4412 armv7. But at the cost of some performance when running apps.

@eloy also, when I watch videos on my phone, it's so small I just set the video to 480p or 720p, even though technically my phone's display is more close to 1440p. But it's very unpractical for a device this small IMO

@eloy (did you know you can use mpv to watch videos on the fediverse? Or any other http link? Very useful!)

@eloy It does watch youtube just fine, I just have to watch from mpv to have a good experience (ironically both performance-wise and youtube's full of ads now). But not a dealbreaker given I do it on my desktop too (mpv is very nice so I use it whenever I can).

@eloy I don't even bother with anything higher than 1080p on devices this small. Plus, this one in particular has a 1280x800 display.

Thanks to pmOS and sxmo+sway I can squeeze every bit of performance this device has to offer :)

though sometimes I do feel being in a world where everyone wants the shiny new thing and I am the odd one so I get to be able to do much less.

I'm still daily driving my Armv7 tablet btw.

Armv7 is not dying anytime soon. Yes, it may die at some point, but not in the next 5-10 years I'm sure.

@pj sleep, your health comes first before anything else.

IF I WANTED CLAUDE TO CHANGE MY CODE I WOULD ASK IT MYSELF, I DON'T NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE PROJECT TO ASK CLAUDE TO MAKE CHANGES THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND

this benefit isn't really that convincing to me tbh

@elly ambient light sensor-equiped laptops existed even back in 2011 (my laptop has it)

"We are looking forward to your entry! No matter your background, everyone is welcome to be part of our event.
Your submission can be a short talk (max. 20 mins including questions), long talk (max. 60 mins including questions), workshop, meetup or discussion round (90 mins, for other durations please contact us).

The audience will consist of:
- kernel hackers
- distribution developers
- desktop environment maintainers
- activists
- end users
and potentially more groups of people. If your submission targets at least one of these groups, it's probably a good one! Ideally, it would also be related to postmarketOS in some way, but that is not a hard requirement."
