This is not judgment as much as it is programming a community and is perpetuating the opposite of correct judgment since it's inserting an emotion and opinion into a collective mind and discourse (the headline alone which might be all a lot of people scan and a tone-setter). It's going to cause reactions like the one you just had at many points in time used against people that decide to use modern tools. If Discurse wanted to start a discussion that might solve a problem they could have used a better headline.

There’s nothing wrong with judgment. Judging someone’s character based on whether they use generative “AI” is a valid practice. You may not like being judged, but that’s another matter entirely.

You and I know that using AI is a metric to consider when judging ability and quality.

The difference is that it's not judgment but a broadcast, announcement.

In this case a snotty one from Discourse.

I mention that it lingers because I think that is a real psychological effect that happens.

Small announcements like this carry over into the future and flood any evaluation of yourself which can be described as torture and sabotage since it has an effect on decisions you make sometimes destroying things.

Nice jewish word mostly meant to mock. Why would I care what a plugin that I don't even see in use has to say to my face (since I had to read this with all the interpretation potential and receptiveness available). The same kind of inserted judgment that lingers similar to "Yes, I will judge you if you use AI".

Meltdown Version Pi 9 months ago

Meltdown v314 just went up. Fixing some markdown parsing errors.

Meltdown is a powerful AI interface made entirely in python, using TK as the GUI toolkit.

This is something I deem possible, that is all. Also there is the spreading aspect to it by using the phone speakers in a room.

This is a game I've been working on. It has like 10+ types of lasers and some other interesting things.

And tbh it's my phone now, the laser sound is my ringtone, so if you want to chat with me you can use that.

What could have been 11 months ago

A lot of how I use AI is to assist me to build the software manually. I focus 1 function and ask it to fix or implement it. That's a good way to use AI. But if you mean using AI to improve existing systems, I also think that's being a done a lot. For instance, you know Krita the KDE drawing program? They naturally added a way to prompt image generation, based on your initial doodles, which makes a lot of sense.

I've been considering the multi-window approach, to leverage the system's taskbar, which is natural to use, but I don't know if I'd open more than 2-3 windows, since it would fill the space quickly (unless I use a taskbar that groups items).

I mostly use Firefox except for some cases where Chrome is better suited since it can be more compatible with media and intensive applications. Do you use terminal browsers for emergencies, like when you only have access to a TTY?

I was aware of those tab listers, though I use my own addon. However the motivation to make this thread in the first place was because I was in fast-switch mode, going back and forth between tabs, to copy/paste stuff etc, and I kept feeling stuck, my mind was expecting something as intuitive as a taskbar icon, and the "alt+tab" available didn't even cross my mind tbh and a cycle is not that great, there's a reason an OS like windows doesn't just cycle without previews on alt+tab. I don't know what other browser does this better. I make my own tab manager, check out Grasshopper on the marketplace, I've been adding all the task switching features there. That moment was just that my brain was wired expecting something else and the browser felt incomplete.

And while we're at it, I want to focus the fact that browsers never evolved beyond maximized tabs instead of venturing into windows. At least the modern ones.

Well I would suggest implementing at least at the level of modern desktops, and make it easy to find and use it, not just alt+tab shortcut. Ideally it should be spawned and allow the user to filter to find tabs instead of having to hold and release a key. My point being, a simple forward/backward cycle is definitely on the lower side of effort when it comes to window management (tab management), which to be honest is not a problem to me personally, but I find the gap left there on purpose bizarre and makes me question it. I don't think browsers should consider themselves just rendering frames since it is the interface that users use, it's not a component, and it should be (very) ambitious when it comes to advanced features, especially with something as fundamental to them as tab switching.
