Are you aware that Firefox Translate uses AI models[1] to translate text and it’s already included in current versions of Firefox?

[1]: not a completion/instruction LLM, but still very much a “language” model

Did 75Hz work with your previous OS?

Looks nice! Is this yours (OP)? If so, are you aware of Bavarder? It seems to have quite some features. (But it is unmaintained and broken right now so Alpaca is a welcome replacement.)

Look into using your browser’s designMode functionality. It’s as WYSIWYG as anything can be. It’s great for editing HTML but not very suitable for writing HTML.

Where did it get the 3D buildings from? I thought OSM doesn’t have 3D?

With Newtonian physics if you have two neutron stars orbiting each other they would just continue orbiting forever. With general relativity, the orbiting neutron stars shed energy by sending out gravitational waves. Losing energy they get closer and closer and then merge.

A more locked-down theming API could help. For example Firefox themes are always 100% safe to install. That said, Firefox themes are almost useless (they’re more like color schemes lol), and no one wants to lose KDE’s powerful customizability so 🤷🤷

Flatpak apps cannot set their own permissions "on installation". If flatpak tells you some weather app uses only the network permission then that is all the app is going to get.

For an app to be able to change its own permissions, it first needs permission to the flatpak overrides directory. Any app that does this gets an "Unsafe" designation in gnome-software.

Also about most apps requiring filesystem access to work: I have 41 flatpak apps on my system (Silverblue so everything is flatpak). Only 6 have access to my home or Documents directory. (11 apps requested full filesystem or homedir permission, but 5 of these work perfectly fine after I turned off their permissions in Flatseal).

Notably, "large attack surface" apps like Thunderbird or Firefox don't have access to my Documents. File uploads and email attachments go through the file picker portals.

What I meant was that I want exactly Cackle, but I don't want to run it on my own computer. If a crate uses some suspicious API (including transitively), I want to know before I download it.

Amazing project!

Would be cool if we also have an online database of what APIs each crate uses. This would allow quickly knowing some crates are safe without compiling them (there could be malicious build.rs code) or even seeing the source code at all.
