So that was my first option, but for some reason I failed to find the file referred to here:

You can download krohnkite-x.x.kwinscript file, and install it through System Settings.

That’s exactly what I figured. Damn am I glad I pumped the brakes!

I just saw the notice on the GitHub repo “This repository has been archived by the owner on Jun 16, 2024. It is now read-only.” I suppose that answers my question, huh?

Is there a single non nefarious use case for deepfake technology? I honestly can’t think of anything.

You’ve got the burden of proof backwards, pal.

Also:

Search engine quality determined exclusively by the folks that consistently mistake their Facebook status update field for a search engine.

Surely this is satire… Right?

1password is great!

Don’t underestimate him. He’s shown he’s a spoiled brat, but he’s not shown that he’s incapable of elaborate and spiteful plots to get his way.

A smart decision in his eyes might be a dumb one in ours but that doesn’t mean he’s actually stupid.

Writing him off as an idiot is a one way ticket to being blindsided while you’re distracted by something else.

That depends on your use case for desktop linux of course. For me, yabridge is the tool I needed to run VSTs on Linux. Its CLI only as far as I know.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not afraid of the CLI. Its just some tools are assuming the end user is a server admin or someone with deeper than the upper crust knowledge of how Linux works.

The mistake is the assumption of a certain level of end user knowledge.

Honestly, as a newbie to Linux I think the ratio of well documented processes vs. “draw the rest of the fucking owl” is too damn high.

The rule seems to be that CLI familiarity is treated as though its self-evident. The exception is a ground-up documented process with no assumptions of end user knowledge.

If that could be resolved I think it would make the Linux desktop much more appealing to wider demographics.

That said, I’m proud to say that I’ve migrated my entire home studio over to linux and have not nuked my system yet. Yet… Fortunately I have backups set up.

A clutch? What’s that? /s

I’m not here to troubleshoot this issue. I don’t have the technical skill or understanding of this platform to do so.

I’m sure I’m not the only one with a working banking app. We don’t all use mainstream banks, right? There are options and I’m sure I’m not alone in this.

Thanks for insinuating I’m a liar though. That’s nice.

I’m on a Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS and a working banking app with no special fuckery because I genuinely don’t know enough about android to deviate from what’s offered in the stock Graphene experience other than using the FUTO keyboard and customizing basic settings just like everyone else.

That one use case literally invalidates the claim that banking apps don’t work. Your banking app might not work, but mine does.

Not true. I’m a Tangerine customer and have no issues at all with their app on Graphene.

I’m new to Linux. Every time I’ve had a major issue with an application it turned out to be due to a flatpak. I’ll stick with other options for the time being.

Sounds like homeopathy lol

Greeting viewers by name? Not in my fucking house. AI should be a tool to rid humanity of undesirable work. Instead its replacing humanity in every field where humanity is the main event. Why the fuck would I ever want to listen to a fucking robot while I watch the Olympics, or anything for that matter?

Buy dumb TVs. Make your next phone a Pixel and install Graphene OS. Ditch Windows/MacOS for Linux. Use ProtonMail. Run a Pi-Hole on your network. Do anything you can to take control of your digital footprint in any way.

Don’t let corporations freely suck your data dry and exploit your life for profit while force feeding you their elaborate fakery. Its impossible to insulate yourself from it all but any step towards digital privacy is the right step to take.

None of those tools has ever made a full releasable track for anyone, just like the tape machine never created music out of nowhere.
