  • Forcing bullshit genai stuff into their browser

    It’s an opt-in feature that just opens whatever AI service you picked, their website in a sidebar. You can even use your own local AI if you want to. Or not use it at all. But the AI isn’t actually in your browser any more than it is in your browser when you open their website in a tab.

    If the translation thing counts as AI then that’s actually a really cool and more private use of it compared to querying a server. It can do the translation completely locally. Works pretty well too in my experience, though it does think for a moment when you tell it to translate.





  • Yes but that wasn’t the original comment I replied to was about.

    I know this doesn’t matter these days but once again that wasn’t what the original comment was about.

    I agree, it was just about the size differences. I just think it’s good to bring up since there’s many confused about the flatpak size use. Often people might want to install some small app and they’re hit with gigs of stuff and come off thinking that’s the same for every app, which would be insane of course.

    WAIT I just took a deeper look at the link, isn’t that guy just showing the runtimes without the applications using 8.7 GiB?

    Yes it’s specifically comparing runtimes. Same for my number, I was calculating how much the runtimes used.



  • I’d just be interested to see how over time if those two numbers differ. If there’s a big difference then that’d of course weigh on the considerations. If they’re close to each other, then that’d also affect it. I just found population estimates and death estimates for current Gaza conflict but not really a good comparison for the two.

    If you allocate 30 GB for / that seems pretty low these days for a desktop system. If you don’t have much space, it’s always best to go with regular repository packages

    Here someone had 163 flatpaks and it used 8,7GB in runtimes. So I’m guessing the 30GB number is for whole of /.

    I just checked out mine, I have 34 apps and runtimes use 3,1GB

    Runtimes are shared in theory but not in practice.

    I think three runtimes (newest freedesktop, KDE and GNOME) cover 90% of my flatpaks. Then there’s programs that use some EOL’d runtime and never get updated, which sucks
