First of all, all of these eye computers are dumb, but at least Meta's Ray Bans look more or less like normal glasses. Even Google Glass was sleeker looking than these, and that was 13 years ago. I don't know what Snap is thinking.

Same, and I personally know two people who I would describe as college educated white-collar folks, but definitely not into "tech", who recently told me they switched to Firefox.

Assuming you mean desktop Linux, probably slowly. While Linux on desktop is growing, Desktops PC use in general is trending downwards and Linux on mobile is far behind the other players.

My gut says that long before Linux overtakes Windows/Macintosh most people who want a mouse/keyboard/monitor experience will just plug their phone into a simple dock, like we're seeing with Android's "Desktop mode".

Careful, once it's automated you won't be able to work on it anymore!

That's great, Etsy has allowed their marketplace to become overrun with slop, it's nice to see the handmade stuff still around and getting love.

This is awesome I was just looking for something like this for Linux. PINCE did the job and came close but the community support around Cheat Engine is where is shines.

Posts about self hosting are welcome, posts to strangers seeking external validation...? Maybe save for therapy.

Honestly same. And to be clear, that is absolutely no disrespect to Anson Mount et al, the rocks were simply that good.

/c/fuckai has two dozen mods but ironically only time I've ever seen them take action on anyone was when they removed my post asking for recs for a community with more active moderation (lol)

I'd like to discuss generative AI from a highly skeptical perspective but with higher standards of quality and without all the mouth-frothy raging and bad memes of /c/fuckai.

Does anywhere else like that exist on the fediverse? I don't care if it's small/underutilized. And no I'm not interested in creating it myself.
