> At present your memories are proprietary data in whichever LLM you use.

There is an export-function.

> What if you want to use other models as well?

Then do that? Does one AI having chats with you, prevents you from using the other?

> Third, OpenClaw allows you to run your models as agents.

Don't they all allow that?

> We already have examples of these agents creating an AI religion

More like Humans playing bots, doing some shenanigans. That was all stage play, humans and bots role-playing what western culture expects to happen in such a scenario.

> It's not just the .vscode folder though, the Python extension for example executes code in order to provide language services.

Which code? Its own Code (which the user already trusts anyway), or code from the workspace (automatically)? My expectation with a language-server is that it never code from the workspace in a way which could result in a side effect outside the server gaining understanding about the code. So this makes little sense?

Yeah, congratulation for having a normal life of suffering, you are not the only one. Doesn't answer the question why you are still so ignorant about the suffering of others and live in that a delusion of internet having been some kind of pink pony farm.

Writing all those delusions and not connecting the dots is insightful.. You are so pampered in your own little delusion that don't seem to understand the actual concept of real discrimination. And looking at your socials, I understand why, you don't look like someone who has ever experienced real discrimination and just hissy fit about any hurt feelings as "discrimination".

Hence the "delusion". You are just a typical case of something many here experienced, including myself.

Sorry to break your delusion, but there has never been true equality on the internet, it's all just different bubbles, with different discriminations.

New comment by slightwinder in "Obsidian/Joplin does NOT support manual/arbitrary sorting of folders or notes"

slightwinder — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 16:57:30 +0000

Obsidian has the philosophy that the filesystem is the source of all truth, and it's showing directly the filesystem without any obvious layer in-between. The reason is, that you should be able to read your data with any other app and have the same amount of data accessible. So from their POV, there is not really any place to store the information for the sorting. Adding it to the filename, would annoy the people, so It's up to you to choose your own plugin allowing this.

Also, with the new bases-features, you can easily create your own sorting with a table, or whichever view you prefer.

New comment by slightwinder in "Petition to formally recognize open source work as civic service in Germany"

slightwinder — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 15:39:19 +0000

There are usually strict requirements and checks on public services, so you can't just declare everything open source and gain the benefits. Additionally, paying a wage seems to be forbidden, only covering a certain amount of expenses, like travel costs, or I guess server-costs, is allowed. So you would need a very creative company to somehow convince people to work for them with this.

> If a restaurant served food that harmed people we wouldn't say

Is sugar in your country restricted? Or meat? I guess alcohol is, as it's everywhere. But restaurants server many harmful food which is only tolerated because harm comes from time and serving-sizes. But the same can be said for dark patterns in software, they are usually not obvious and in your face, but sneaky enough to fly under the parent's attentions.

New comment by slightwinder in "Serflings is a remake of The Settlers 1"

slightwinder — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 10:07:02 +0000

In this specific case, it's because of creative conflicts. Volker Wertich, the creator of Settlers 1&3, was also supposed to be creator for the newest Game, Settler: New Allies (part 8(?) of the mainline). He left after Ubisoft was not convinced from his Vision, considered it too complex, ambiguous. They release the reworked final version some years later, and it flopped hard. He then went on to create Pagonia after it came to light how much the new part sucks.

I don't think we know in detail what his original vision was, we can only assume if Pagonia is aiming to manifest it. And there is the theory that Ubisoft didn't like to have two similar games in their catalogue. They already have the Anno-Franchise, which is very similar to settlers, and had a promising new game released around the time Wertich left Ubisoft.

So the answer is probably a mix between internal politics of big companies, risk-avoidance and creative minds being too creative for the average manager. The more money you push, the more the system strifes to controlled outcomes. And Ubisoft was pushing very big around that time, to the point that they killed themselves, it seems.

As I remember, you can just use ublock origin and some cosmetic filter with :has-text() or something.

Intel was supposed to build something in Germany some years ago, didn't really work out because of reasons which seems to have been outside of Germany's control. So it's not that they are unwilling, but it just didn't succeed yet.

There is also a modern continuation from the original Creator, called "Pioneers of Pagonia"[1]. It's Early Access at the moment, but v1.0 is planned for release in some weeks (11.12.2025). And so far it looks promising, seems to be a pretty good game for Settler-Fans. As I remember, it's a reaction on the catastrophic fail of the latest official Setter-Game, which is not with Ubisoft, so I guess serving the old fans is one of the goal.

You seem to have a concerningly narrow view on society and it's processes, to the point where it might be harmful. Maybe start fixing this first, before you complain about something you might not understand well enough?

> But they don't fix multiple problems all at once.

No, they do, they do it the whole time. Those might not the problems you care about, and not all attempts might be successful, but each new or changed law/regulation is fixing something. And there are many new of them over the year.

How is the state of Wayland these days with QTile? I remember some years ago it was somewhat running, but stalling. Did it improve in the meanwhile?

Excessive Violence without proper context and explanation is also forbidden. And Porn is usually several lacking context and explanation, being just poor fiction. But the thing is, most people understand the regulation of violence, so you won't hear many complaints about those.
