For something that's sure to be enshitified, I use Perplexity regularly, especially since Paypal gave me a free year of its Pro plan. I'm finding it considerably more effective than traditional web search when I'm looking for something specific, though to be clear, I'm looking for an existing web page rather than the output of the LLM. It's also pretty good at providing the exact command line incantation for some one-off task and producing short code samples for some API I'm probably never going to use again. Sometimes I pay Anthropic for the latter.
Some other stuff:
Not actually new, but more people should know:
I've found KDE connect to work better than the native Windows Phone Connect when I was using windows. I switched to Linux Mint a few weeks ago since I primarily value stability.
Cleverkeys is such a good find from you. Thank you so much for it 😃
That cleverkeys keyboard is... suspicious? Only 2 stars? 0 issues. Never heard of it. Seems like such a keyboard would be much more known, no? Do your due diligence before you install it, it is a keyboard, with potential to cause some serious damage.
It's fair to be concerned. I have known the author online for several years, and he has reputation to lose if he publishes malware. Of course, you have no reason to trust me either.
It's a recent fork and rebrand of Unexpected Keyboard.
