I’d like that to be “new”, but… It’s not exactly the first time this exact thing happened in tech.

It seems pretty easy to break, unfortunately.

Or it just time outs on longer articles.

I don’t think being open matters here, it’s the part where it’s developed by big bad China.

All of these threats apply to other LLMs as well.

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.

Yeah, I think open should be the new one.

Maybe you can try to check if you’re using legacy drivers or the new version that’s party open-source.
I think Nvidia switched to those for their most recent cards not long ago.

That’s a very… capitalist way of thinking.

Heh, I was confused because I switched full-time to Wayland a while ago and that was never an issue for any game… but then you mentioned Nvidia. RIP

I saw they switched recently to partially open source drivers, so hopefully it’s gonna be better for you soon.

I’m currently using KZones, actually, it’s not automatic, but it works pretty great.

If you’re still on X11. Krohnkite didn’t support Wayland all that well last time I checked.

We do have them.

Most popular DEs already support tiling with extensions (Gnome and KDE).
KDE actually added native support, although pretty limited so far.

Yeah… I wonder if it’s the same story here - devs trying to interpret the rules in their own special way and Google putting their foot down.

EDIT: as far as I can tell they kept referral links in the Google Play version and still claim to have no ads or tracking.
I guess they’re still lying.

Sideberry really is amazing. So good I could never switch to another browser if it meant abandoning it.

Why? Do you really think Google started out evil, and not step by step by implementing “improvements” similar to this one?

I’m not planning to move anywhere tbh.

I do. If they go through with it than they’re not much better than Google.

If they don’t have enough money maybe they could start with cutting the CEO’s pay.

A few are mentioned here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Spotify#Third-party_clients

Yeah, but I don’t really use them, so not the best person to ask. :)

No, it’s not.

It says it’s a “Spotify client”. It simply isn’t.

I don’t know why, but personally it really rubs me the wrong way.

It’s not really “false advertising”, since it’s not a paid app, but still…

Real open source alternatives exist, but they require Spotify Premium to actually stream music legally straight from Spotify.
