The first page looks like a book. It's awesome. Thanks, so refreshing. No fucking inhuman cookie banner.

Would need this, inverted, for winter.

Check out sunseekr its popular here in the uk: https://sunseekr.com/

In that case https://app.shadowmap.org could be a better recommendation.

Tried Goose, couldn't do anything. OpenCode is better. Mistral's Vibe too.

> I’m just glad we have a European alternative for the day the US decides to turn its back on us.

They did.

They let so many important French companies down. So, yes, it could happen despite this beginning.

Finally, we can use a european model to replace claude code.

No startup is as big as Google Search. They're far from being hindered by this EU investigation.

It's not really about Google, I think the reason that HN in general is.. annoyed at the actions of the EU is because they're worried these rulings will be far reaching. This one in particular: fetching content from a website and feeding it to an AI to extract information or summarize it requires that the person doing it "compensate" the website operator. Well there goes one of the most useful tools in the AI toolbox being able to search the web for external information. It also codifies that accessing a webpage is a weird kind of transaction which also might put ad blockers in a weird legal grey area.

I don't want my Kagi quick answers, Summarize page, or Ask questions about page buttons to be turned off, I find them extremely useful.

Wait what ? Why can't they add a feature to the watch that is already there on the wrist and especially already bought that will start recording the thought after a hand shake (that triggers the mic) plus magic keyword ?

This thing seems to stand alone though? As in - I don't have to have a watch, nor, it sounds like, do I have to have my phone within pairing range when I record something.

It's unlocked though, so maybe a software toggle will let you turn off the mic and just have it activate your watch's mic. This would presumably extend the battery, which seems to be a focus of discussion.

They should have left X a long time ago. Now is not too late.

What I understand as "ultimate workstation" would be a smartphone that once connected by usb-C to a monitor, becomes your computer.

Then, you don't need any other device, hence "ultimate".

Convergence, Samsung Dex, lots have tried but nothing mature yet. Well, Dex is mature but closed-source and Samsung-dependent. On the linux no-android smartphone side of things, hardware is too low-cost and the phone aspects of linux too brittle.

Aurora is just a new distro...

I think it would be nice to have as an option, especially when travelling but I also do think that most people don't really want that and prefer the separate device paradigm.

I don't want to toggle options and stuff when I don't want to be distracted or interrupted with calls or messages, I just leave my smartphone in another room. Sure you could attain the same with some keyboard shortcuts but you are pretty sure to sometimes forget to do it while not bringing your phone with you is inconscious and always work.

Android 16 is adding "Desktop Mode" to do exactly this, I bet in a few Android releases this will be good enough for most "desktop usecases". They'll have a "Linux" app that gives you a VM exactly like WSL2 on Windows or Crostini on ChromeOS.

If we allow ourselves to dream it's not impossible we'll be able to run Windows games on Android in some future :)

First Android would have to be free software and not project controlled by Google. We need independent mobile phone operating system.

Sure, but that's moving the goalpost from the comment I was replying to. And generally people are fine with using proprietary systems. MacOS, iOS, Windows and Android are all popular compared to "Linux desktop". I would appreciate a desktop mode for my phone even if it isn't 100% FOSS.

Android has been bringing desktop mode for years... one decade maybe ?
