I love that their solution is to not use the thing that the data centers are supposed to be for.

I thought Fairphone was one of the few supported phones. Perhaps I'm thinking of a different phone OS.

[AIT] What do you use to summarise YouTube videos?
I've used Fabric to summarize the transcriptions. I believe it works with Ollama and local models.

Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash
He's right. It's just another tool in the hands of a skilled technician. The upgrade from a hammer to a nailgun didn't suddenly make everyone a master carpenter, but in the hands of some that knows how to use it, it can greatly increase productivity. We are in the very early stages of AI, and we are working out the details. While it's not a great comparison, I remember when Windows 95 launched and, when you could find RAM, it was literally worth more than its weight in gold. Small shops had to keep it in a safe. This was because Windows 95 needed at least 8MB ( <- not a typo) of 30 pin SIMM RAM to run well. A couple years later and people were putting them on their keychains as a joke.

Alternative search engines to Google
I've used DDG for years and really like it. I like it even more now that I've been using #emacs more because they have a text-based, or at least non-js, search page that works well in eww.

Probably true.
That's actually what Idiot Flesh did in the 90s. They had one show where the band outnumbered the crowd, so they had the crowd gather in the middle of the venue and they played the show around them.

Typing j more than three times in insert mode kicks me out of insert mode
I'd like to figure out that mapping. I do this all the time. I forget I'm in insert mode, try to move the curser with 'j' and just end up typing a bunch of j's that I have to delete.

Isn't there a Visual Studio for Linux? Or am I just thinking of Visual Studio Code? I'm not going to pretend that GIMP can do everything that Photoshop can do, but it has come a long way.

What is the default mapping for Ctrl-h in Insert Mode?
This isn't exactly a fix, but it keeps me from accidentally locking up my terminal and potentially losing work
map('i', '', 'gj', {})
map('i', '', 'gk', {})
map('i', '', '', {})
map('i', '', '', {})
map('n', '', 'j', {})
map('n', '', 'k', {})
map('n', '', 'l', {})
map('n', '', 'h', {})
Now if I forget to leave Insert Mode, the cursor just moves to the left, and C-H in Normal Mode still works as expected.
p.s. I commented the key_bindings in alacritty.yml

What is the default mapping for Ctrl-h in Insert Mode?
I think I'm on the trail. According to this post on Reddit, some terminal emulators have trouble passing the correct codes to terminal apps like Neovim. I did manage to break C-H completely, but that's not really helpful. By adding the following keybinds to alacritty.yml, I'm getting Neovim to behave differently, but not as expected.
key_bindings:
- { key: F6, mods: Shift, chars: "\x1b[17~;1u" }
- { key: H, mods: Control, chars: "\x1b[72;4u"}
The first one for S-F6, gets Neovim to recognize the 'F6' part, but does not behave any differently than if I just pressed 'F6' without the modifier. But, without this key binding in alacritty.yml, Neovim doesn't react to Shift+F6 at all.
The second entry, if I'm in Insert Mode in Neovim, causes Neovim to switch to Normal Mode and go to the top of the buffer. In normal mode, it just goes to the top of the buffer instead of the defined behavior of moving to the pane to the left of the current pane.
So, I've basically managed to get a "different error", but not solve the problem. Any ideas?

Yeah. It's not backspacing either. Just locks up.
