It is strongly urged that this account be blocked and reported to its instance.

Search "Linux-is-best Gaza" for additional details.

Thanks for the shutout. Always looking to expand that list too. 😇

That is a tool used to produce the source, not a system the running site depends on. The deployed Bubbles never makes calls to any AI service at runtime. "

Disappointing, but not to take away from the premise.

I've seen a number of such lists and they're incredibly helpful. There are many people who understand the need to get off US tech and have no idea how. (The other overwhelming task: How to convince people like my husband and son that it actually matters.)

It's not that I particularly like it, it just remained there as the "less terrible option" and kind of stuck this way in my habits.
But I had a lot of suggestion after this episode, so I'll study them.

Yes, it's an adverse environment.

In my first sketch, I designed big arms on the top of the machine (to pick books around) but it felt complex and also it had something a bit agressive or dangerous.

I then decided it was a sort of teleportation thing, yep. That's one advantage of having a setup in a magic university 😅

I remember exactly during a coding sprint with the Krita team back in 2018 having this discussion around the table and each one sharing what they used because it started to be impossible to just find quickly issues, debug info, things in various documentation, etc...

But the AI era really made everything go faster downhill. I'm convinced by that.
