He seems to be active in replies to his own posts. I recall him being frustrated by a lack of tools available for high follower accounts like they apparently offer on Twitter.

This was an unusual (For Alec) and remarkable episode. I found it very inspiring. Also Alec is one of the few YouTubers I know of on Fedi. @TechConnectify@mas.to

Not off the top of my head, but I haven’t used it in a year or two so it’s probably changed a bit since then.

The one feature of Nova I wish Kvaesitso had is swiping on icons can do other things than tapping on them. For example swiping on the wallet icon opens a specific card. Swiping on podcast apps opened audiobook app instead.

You can adjust it in settings up to as many that will fit

Looks a lot like M-Launcher on F-Droid.

I am using Kvaesitso which is great, but not Nova.

Ah yeah I’m with you. I actually think LLMs are a useful tool for that initial push- a search query, rough draft (or demo). But I’m not convinced they could ever move beyond that, since creating rigid, reliable structure isn’t what they’re designed to do.

This is interesting but I wonder how he verified the data it was spitting out if he doesn’t know how to code?

That’s better put than I did 😂

Ah yeah that’s a good point. I think “gamers” used to be a more distinct group with a more distinct identity, nowadays it’s like saying “moviegoer”.

Ed frequently comes off like a guy ranting outside the gas station but goddamn is it hard to find an issue with with his conclusions.

This is also the first I’ve ever heard the term in any context so I’m hesitant to believe the author when they say “it looks like it’s sticking”…

After Silksong, Lethal Company and Content Warning were my two most played games in 2025.

I agree that calling these low-poly multiplayer games “slop” is terrible, because there is clearly a ton of love and effort poured into them. I hope the name doesn’t catch on.

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but it’s interface is definitely geared more towards Mac folks.

My recommendation for someone making the jump to full time Linux is Fedora Kinoite. It’s “immutable” meaning impossible to break, and uses KDE Plasma, which is like the modern Windows you’ve always wanted.

Again nothing wrong with Ubuntu, it’s great and will run on the hardware you mentioned, but if you are someone who wants to tweak settings without fear of breaking something somewhere else, I really recommend Kinoite.

Move over FeRAM

It always is. The thing with FOSS vs a private company is that internal debates are:

1. Public
2. Involving people working for free

Meaning we not only see the ““drama””, but that it can become more verbally intense. Buuuuut it almost never ends up mattering much to the average user, and when it does, the public certainly won’t learn about it on github or the replies to a toot.

Great read, I was unfamiliar with this publication. Thanks for sharing.

A nas or home server with one of them is a great idea
