It’s probably just added to its system message, which feels a bit bolted on. I wish we had a really competent personal assistant (assuming you could keep your privacy, which seems unlikely in this day and age), which learned about you and your preferences over time. Something with actual long term memory and the ability to be fine tuned by user input.

Great idea! Here’s mine:

I asked chatGPT 4 with the Dall-E 3 plugin to illustrate my username (“anonymoose”), I didn’t give it any other instructions.

These are the prompts it created, you should be able to get similar results on Bing Image Creator:

1. Illustration of a cartoon moose with a mischievous grin, wearing sunglasses and a hat that says ‘Anon’. The moose is striking a relaxed pose, leaning against a tree with one hoof, in a forest setting.
2. Illustration of a moose in detective attire, complete with a trench coat, fedora, and magnifying glass. The badge on its coat reads ‘Anonymoose’. It’s inspecting a footprint with a puzzled expression in a woodland setting.

Wait, if it’s double-blind, wouldn’t the scientists be unaware of whether he got a placebo or the real drug? Although I suppose this could be after the study has concluded. I would bet that in real studies they record the side effects reported before checking to see if it was the placebo or not!

Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek

This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌

Not to mention the benefits of versioning and being able to rollback! There’s something so satisfying about a well set-up CI/CD pipeline.

Sure, grandpa/grandma, time for your medicine.

But was $application.old_final the one to rollback to, or $application.old-final2?!

What’s your review of LMDE over Debian? I recently took the Linux desktop jump recently and started with Linux Mint.

I really didn’t like the Mint desktop as it seemed very dated, so I’ve switched to Debian/KDE. It was only much later that I realized how easy it would have been to just customize my window manager instead of getting a different distro. Having said that, I’m really digging Debian in spite of Nvidia issues being a headache, and Debian’s glacial update pace making me look longingly at Arch.
