Yeah, I tried it for a bit 1 or 2 years ago and didn’t see much difference.

Only cool thing was the automatic summaries with sources, but the I found out LLM summaries are like everything else “AI” - unreliable, at best, so…

And besides… aren’t AI features getting pushed in Kagi heavily?

Weird idea to use it as an argument against Google and DDG, but conveniently ignore it for Kagi.

Yes, and another big difference is that Bottles refuses to provide any kind of help to package maintainers.
According to maintainers’ comments on the Github project, they have to figure out how to build it by trial and error.

I was actually really surprised that there’s isn’t any kind of build documentation.
It’s pretty unusual.

I don’t think it’s understandable in this case, no.

The entire project depends on Wine, imagine if Wine devs restricted Bottles in what way they are allowed to use it just because Wine project doesn’t want to deal with bugs potentially introduced by the Bottles dev.

But they won’t, because of the license.
And neither can the Bottles devs.

If they want to have total control over their source code, fine, but then they cannot claim to be open-source and release it under GPL.

It’s kinda shitty, but after reading the other links in the post I can’t say it’s very surprising.

Bottles devs seem weirdly hostile to the idea of anyone repackaging their software, because apparently they’re the only ones that are able to do it properly.

edit: devs also refuse bug reports from any version that’s not Flatpak, so in this context removing the button doesn’t seem that unreasonable.

edit2: now that I’ve had a closer look at the PR mentioned in the post I’m not surprised at all.
Bottles devs are actively hostile. Apparently with this PR it’s impossible to run Bottles outside Flatpak without the package maintainers patching the code.

It’s going to be really difficult in a standard setup.

If you really care maybe try something like Tails.

In my case it refused to ever mark me as idle, which meant I never got any notifications on mobile…

Works fine with a plugin, so clearly it can’t be that hard.

Did they also finally fix the AFK detection on Wayland?

OK, I guess you can leave lemmy now, because I’m sure you can judge entire website based on a single troll’s comment (and I guarantee you’ll find plenty on lemmy). Very smart!

The comment is already removed now, but OP’s post would make you believe the entire thread is full of racism and there’s no moderation.

Trying to incite outrage like OP is doing isn’t helpful for anyone.

And do you have any other examples (as you imply, the thread is full of them) than just one troll that has since been removed from the thread?

Did you comment in a wrong thread?

Because I could only find one vaguely racist comment.

They’re not hacktivists, they’re just assholes.

Yep. When I switched out my Nvidia for AMD it was as plug-and-play as it gets.

I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

That’s where Chromium came from originally, so not really 3rd.

And what else should be recommended?

The choice is basically between Firefox or skinned Chromium.

Do you really want to experience first-hand just why Internet Explorer was this hated?
Here’s a hint: de facto monopoly on browser market that allowed them to control the web standards back then and their ideas were not good.

it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

I don’t think you have any idea how much work it takes to create a new browser.

Much better than not reporting and wondering why the issues never get fixed.

Yeah, gotta have that and all that Secure Boot with TPM bullshit, because I’m visualizing a company workstation and nothing will work without those.

Because for some reason, no matter what I try, Windows 10 desktop is laggy as hell on Qemu, and smooth out of the box on VirtualBox.
