ofc I could even send raw api requests, but sometimes it’s good to have a nice GUI that “just works”.

Specifically I’m looking for something that could handle not only text responses, but also attachments, speech recognition and MCP support.

Taking advantage of the fact that this thread became popular, question to all of you guys: do you recommend some other open source LLM front ends?

As long as they are free and open source, I don’t care.

+1, I came here just to paste a link to it

Honestly, I thought Meta talking about Fediverse integration was just marketing bullshit. Are they really doing it? 🤔

For start definitely Linux Mint. It is stable, has strong support, works out of the box.

I’m ok with auto generated content, but only if it is clearly separated from human generated content, can be disabled at any time and writing main articles with AI is forbidden

Wikipedia is not made to teach people how to read, it is meant to share knowledge. For me, they could even make Wikipedia version with hieroglyphics if that would make understanding content easier

I love being in EU

I mean: it is a writing error, because you can’t compare “class based” to OOP, since they are just different things, but this is what is suspect was the case ;)

Object oriented languages can be either class based or prototype based. Java is class based, JS was back then prototype based

This clearly shows how chaotic development of javascript really was.

It has always been like:

1. Design a language for small browser scripts
2. People suddenly start using it somewhere else
3. It turns out it does not fit to where people try to use it
4. Hundreds of frameworks appear to fix this, milion standards appear, people fight for years to work out a single go-to solution
5. Return to point 2

So the current situation in Windows ecosystem is that application developers spend time working on protecting users against their own operating system

So I agree, I thought you are talking about some profit enshittification on Stack Overflow

For me, strict rules are what make this website useful. No threads named “help me” is why I like reading it.

For newcomers there is https://stackoverflow.com/staging-ground

Also, what do you mean “easily downloadable”? Can anyone download the entire corpus of SO in a way that they could set up their own SO with the same content to bootstrap them?

have you seen: https://archive.org/details/stackexchange

That they exploit our efforts to cash out and then sell the service for someone who will enshittify it for profit.

Can you give an example of this enshittification for profit?

People seem to be happy because of SO becoming irrelevant. I really don’t get it, I used this website for many years now and for me it is the second (after Wikipedia) most valuable source of knowledge. The UI is clean, no intrusive adds, best answer is the most visible. Threads are well organised and on topic. No spam, no dark patterns, no wasting your time. Discoverability is great, you can easily browse and learn knew things. It is also SEO friendly. Why do you prefer Discord? What do I miss?

What exactly do you accuse Stack Overflow for? As far as I know this service has always been free to use and data is easily downloadable.
