There are more of course, and I could not even be bothered to start on extraction. 😜

@… I have Linux Mint as my primary OS, with Windows 11 running in a VM (VMware Workstation Pro). My laptop has 32 mb of RAM; I allocate 16 to the VM. Works fine, except that WIndows 11 is a bit slow. If I cared, I could increase the RAM allocated to the VM, because Linux doesn't use all that much.
Other VMs work fine, too. I just settled on VM…

Ich hab seit einige Monaten den Browser Vivaldi in Gebrauch, er hat sehr schöne Funktionen, aber ist irgendwie auch ein wenig instabil in moment. Erst recht unter MacOS, weiss nicht, aber hab da mehrfach gehabt, das da der Browser das System verlangsamt hat.

Vivaldi 7.8: Ein Mittelfinger für KI
Sinnvolles Tab-Sortieren und Tools seien laut Vivaldi "Funktionen, die Nutzer tatsächlich haben wollen" – anders als KI-Assistenz.

@… I presume you manually setup the repo because the only people thus far who reported this did exactly that.
Vivaldi sets up its own repo on post install (if you have not done it yourself) and setups up two keys, the current and the next one. Those people who manually configured only install the one key, when it rotates they are broken.<…

@… I completely understand (and largely agree). And in my experience there is nothing remotely close to Dragon on Linux or MacOS.

@… But even with those techniques, I'm sure that for most authors, Dragon isn't the answer. For example, having recently read Pynchon's Shadow Ticket, I can't imagine writing that using Dragon.

@… I would start with using Dragon's tools to make its vocabulary and word usage as much like what I intended to write as possible. If I were an established author such as you, I would feed it my most recent work. I would add as many specialized words as I needed. (I had to do these things in my niche legal practice.)
Then, I would think about ways to us…

We’ve lived here since 1989 and this is the worst snow to shovel I’ve encountered. We only got about 6 inches of snow, but it was followed by at least an inch of sleet. Temperatures are not supposed to get above freezing all week. My adult son came by (he lives elsewhere in DC and had to take his partner to the airport) and he and I managed to clear our steps and sidewalk. Had to use a gardening shovel with a square end to break the worst of the ice. Took us an hour. Then we helped a neighbo…

Izzy thinks it’s too cold and the snow is too deep, even though a few minutes ago she was insisting that we needed to go on a walk.

Sound up! I'm trying to teach Izzy, our fearful rescue spaniel, to ring bells when she wants to go out in the back yard, rather than scratch at the door.
