I would like to see if the use of their API increased.

😅 is this why I’m getting downvoted?
AI, or any other tool, isn’t intrinsically bad or oppressive. In my opinion, in this context, it would be more valuable to concentrate efforts towards better work legislation, rather than solely focusing on regulating AI (which needs to be done regardless).
The general sentiment towards AI in the comments is mixed. There are concerns about the potential negative impacts of AI, particularly on jobs and the economy, but also recognition of the benefits that AI can bring.
Main Points Pro AI:
Main Points Against AI:
Main points against AI, specifically points #2 and #4, do appear similar. However, I believe these concerns can be alleviated if we, as average individuals, adapt AI into our own contexts. If our current roles could potentially be replaced by AI, we should strive to harness this technology to augment our work. We should take an active role and participate in the changes AI brings, rather than merely being subjects of these changes. While corporations may have access to AI on a larger scale, we too have access to this technology and can utilize it to our advantage. My frustration would stem from a lack of access to these tools, not from the changes they bring about.
While the potential misuse of highly personal information by private companies is indeed a concern, I believe we may be overlooking a key point that the article doesn’t fully address: Musk’s ambition to create a “super app”. I haven’t delved deeply into this concept, but I’ve pondered it a bit. The question that comes to mind is: why would someone choose to develop an app for Twitter instead of Android or iOS?
Apart from the obvious advantage of not having to develop for two separate platforms, there’s also the benefit of user identification. This, I believe, will be a major draw for many services. The ability to verify a user’s identity at the ID level, even down to their fingerprint, is a significant advantage. From a technical standpoint, it’s impressive, but consider the legal implications as well. It’s incredibly convenient for those offering sensitive services.
If this approach proves successful and attracts companies, government entities, and so on, and if Twitter becomes the platform where we can easily renew our driving licenses, pay municipal taxes, and handle other tedious tasks, would we be willing to exchange our personal data for such convenience? Perhaps those of us reading this comment wouldn’t, at least initially, but I suspect the majority of people would.
If you enjoy using older, less powerful computers, it’s important to find a Linux distribution that can accommodate the limited resources. While extremely stripped-down distributions like Tinycore might seem appealing, they often lack the functionality and ease of use that come with more comprehensive distributions.
Instead, I would recommend learning how to use a window manager and forgoing a desktop manager. This approach allows you to maintain a lightweight system without sacrificing too much functionality.
When it comes to choosing a distribution, some are more bloated than others, so it’s crucial to find one that offers a degree of flexibility during the installation process. In this regard, Debian is a great choice.
You can install Debian as a server, which will provide a minimal base system. From there, you can install a window manager and only the essential packages you need. This way, you can keep your system lean and efficient, perfect for older, low-powered computers.
I must do something for my noodle arms problem then 😅
thank you!
I’d be very thankful for an example of your setup. I’m using Bitwardern for browser-related password management, but for convenience scripts I load the credentials as env vars at login through .bash_profile
😅
I’m genuinely intrigued by the potential use cases for this Linux tablet.
In my opinion:
For casual tech activities, I have a Pinephone with a keyboard. Despite the phone’s lack of power and the keyboard’s quality, its portability and form factor are hard to beat.

I don’t know how others are using chatGPT for coding, but I found I get the best results when starting small and iterate over the results few times. Like:
I use it mostly for Typescript, Bash and Clojure and results vary from good to OK (Clojure). The whole process is way faster if you use a tool like sGPT.
The Linux community is indeed remarkable, but the multitude of available distributions can sometimes give an impression of fragmentation. When you discover the distribution that best fits your needs, it’s important to remember not to take it personally. Avoid developing a bias towards your chosen distribution as it could potentially lead to unnecessary conflicts with others who prefer different distributions within the community.
