  • this is the (un)fortunate reality.

    unfortunate in that keeping a modern browser up to date is a serious task when you need to compete with the agenda and scale of google etc

    fortunate in that its a relatively simple solution, the community needs to fund the software.

    its tough though as i can imagine if they pulled the kind of popup shit wikipedia does, it will just drive people away. what people don’t realise ofc is that with chrome you are paying for it (with your data), but for some reason they’re not viewed in the equivalent light.

    Thanks, do you know if/where we can download the full phind source including the full models, training data etc? To run 100% offline?

    edit: for anyone reading this thread, YOU CAN’T. it’s not currently opensource. and afaik there is no concrete timeline for it to be opened, other than sometime “down the road”.

    to be clear, i definitely agree we have the creative nerd factor the corporations lack, but unfortunately there’s been a bit of trading on ‘open’ while still being very closed in the “AI” world, really hope this doesn’t turn out to be another example of that.

    not customizable

    themes, plugins, ridiculously easy custom configurations/build commands etc you can even control the window manager from config files if you want to, its insanely customisable

    lacks support for a lot of things

    edit: trying to sound less snarky, but do you have a lot of examples?

    i could see these criticisms arising from a quick glance. or we may have slightly different definitions of these terms. which is fair enough.

    imo geany’s ratio of features to weight is remarkable, perhaps singularly so?
