I created a script to rotate my screen, I tied it to Ctrl+Shift+R and it's great for reading web comics on this light @system76 machine as if it was a book.
But er, I forgot that Ctrl+Shift+R is reverse lookup in Bash. Ooops.

Needs reboot (Y/N)?

Do you change your browser theme regularly, seasonally, or are you loyal to a certain look?
My @Vivaldi is perfect now.

So many eye-catching setups with themes showed up yesterday.
Got a favorite? Share a screenshot and/or maybe a link to the theme! We want to see more.
Are you using a custom browser theme, or rocking the default look?
@Clygro because #Apple says "My way or the highway!" in terms of #design and #customization!
Or just use you AI locally
I completely understand the concerns about relying too heavily on AI, especially cloud-based, centralized models like ChatGPT. The issues of privacy, energy consumption, and the potential for misuse are very real and valid. However, I believe there's a middle ground that allows us to benefit from the advantages of AI without compromising our values or autonomy.
Instead of rejecting AI outright, we can opt for open-source models that run on local hardware. I've been using local language models (LLMs) on my own hardware. This approach offers several benefits:
- Privacy - By running models locally, we can ensure that our data stays within our control and isn't sent to third-party servers.
- Transparency - Open-source models allow us to understand how the AI works, making it easier to identify and correct biases or errors.
- Customization - Local models can be tailored to our specific needs, whether it's for accessibility, learning, or creative projects.
- Energy Efficiency - Local processing can be more energy-efficient than relying on large, centralized data centers.
- Empowerment - Using AI as a tool to augment our own abilities, rather than replacing them, can help us learn and grow. It's about leveraging technology to enhance our human potential, not diminish it.
For example, I use local LLMs for tasks like proofreading, transcribing audio, and even generating image descriptions. Instead of ChatGPT and Grok, I utilize Jan.ai with Mistral, Llama, OpenCoder, Qwen3, R1, WhisperAI, and Piper. These tools help me be more productive and creative, but they don't replace my own thinking or decision-making.
It's also crucial to advocate for policies and practices that ensure AI is used ethically and responsibly. This includes pushing back against government overreach and corporate misuse, as well as supporting initiatives that promote open-source and accessible technologies.
In conclusion, while it's important to be critical of AI and its potential downsides, I believe that a balanced, thoughtful approach can allow us to harness its benefits without sacrificing our values. Let's choose to be informed, engaged, and proactive in shaping the future of AI.

It’s Friday. Skip the meeting. Make your browser look cooler instead.
i've already tried a skeuomorphic style for my desktop, so it was time to go to the other, minimalist end
konsave my beloved
No two users are the same. Vivaldi gives you the freedom to make your browser truly yours.
Vivaldi’s like the person who customizes their phone homescreen to match the season.
Vivaldi: because “Default” settings were never your vibe.
People use Vivaldi differently. Some build elegant workflows. Some just change the theme 14 times.
