Question: Is there an equivalent to Google Drive in Windows for KDE?
Is there an equivalent to Google Drive in Windows for KDE?
I'm talking full synchronization of my Google Drive files into a local folder.
I know there's the KDE KIO Worker that can integrate with Dolphin, but according to itsfoss.com:
Each time you try to modify a file, it is copied to a local cache directory. Once you finish modifying a file, it prompts for uploading the modified file to GDrive.
There's RClone that can do that I think, but I'm not certain. And it looks a bit complicated to set up.
What are you recommendations?
Than you can use Dolphin to handle your Google Drive as if it was a network drive.
Unfortunately, sometimes it wont let you login, so try it yourself
Yeah that's what I was referring to in my post. The KDE KIO thing. It's not exactly what I'm looking for.
I want the files to be accessible locally and to sync with the cloud when there are changes both ways.
It looks like Trump is looking away from Elon lol

Prevzemimo nazaj nadzor nad našimi napravami in v skupnosti raziskujmo načine uporabe tehnologij, tako da bo spet služila povezovanju in zabavi brez doom scrollanja in pranja možganov. Na PLAC prinesi računalnik ali telefon in skupaj jih bomo poskusili osvoboditi z inštaliranjem Linux in Lineage OS-ov.
Napotek: Vsi podatki iz računalnikov in telefonov bodo izbrisani, tako da prej naredi varnostno kopijo. Glede na to da je v PLACu internet počasen je najbolje že doma prenesti OS, ki ga želiš namestiti in ga prinesti na USB ključu.
OpenAI Is A Bad Business
OpenAI, a non-profit AI company that will lose anywhere from $4 billion to $5 billion this year, will at some point in the next six or so months convert into a for-profit AI company, at which point it will continue to lose money in exactly the same way. Shortly after this news broke, Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati resigned, followed by Chief Research Officer Bob McGrew and VP of Research, Post Training Barret Zoph, leaving OpenAI with exactly three of its eleven cofounders remaining.
This coincides suspiciously with OpenAI's increasingly-absurd fundraising efforts, where (as I predicted in late July) OpenAI has raised the largest venture-backed fundraise of all time $6.6 billion— at a valuation of $157 billion.

ChatGPT Plus is likely, for many people, a “lifestyle product.” And the problem is that, when people lose their jobs or inflation hikes, these products are the first to get slashed from the household budget.
So I have a slightly different experience here. When I lost my job recently I actually ended up signing up for ChatGPT plus. I abused the ever living hell out of 4o to crank out tailored cover letters and matching resumes. I was able to roughly triple my job search productivity until I got a job three months later.
Was it worth it? For that timeframe (3 months, $60) hell yeah since the mental labor of handcrafting cover letters for each job listing is extremely taxing and takes some of the awfulness out of the entire job hunt.
It helps when you've fed a few that you've made by hand to start in the same thread for it to use as an example (and format), along with one of your resumes. Then copy and paste the job description and have it generate a cover letter for you.
Keep it all in one massive thread, if it makes a mistake, correct it and tell it to apply those changes to future ones as well (in my case it kept saying I had over ten years of experience when in actually I just had ten, so I had to correct that behavior).
Since it's an AI it will sometimes hallucinate, this usually happens if there are terms in the job description that aren't in your resume... either have it regenerate (if it will take more than a few minutes to edit) or strip out the offending sentences. Some will need very little editing, especially if the job description closely aligns with what you have on your resume.
Oh and be polite because it now knows all your skills and can probably murder you in your sleep lol
I feel like if ChatGPT were the only LLM on the market, they’d have a real path to profitability, but it’s not even the best LLM on the market. And the open source models are nearly as good, meaning the vast majority of people who need an LLM can run it on their own hardware.
It’s kind of like trying to make a profitable business out of offering a special sauce that isn’t as good as your competitors sauce, and is barely better than the free sauce from Taco Bell. Oh and it costs you millions of dollars to produce a single bottle.

With the recent Intel layoffs and early retirement / buyout packages, I have been curious to see what impact it will have on the open-source/Linux software engineers at the companywww.phoronix.com

Another news, water is wet. People leave and join companies every day.
The amount of Intel products impacted is limited to specific models. Also Intel is now committed to replacing damaged hardware. If you update the microcode it will fix the issue and if you aren't experiencing crashes you are good.
PulseAudio hotkeys script
I've been using volumeicon for a long time, to enable the audio hotkeys on my laptop. But the problem is that if you plug in a USB or bluetooth headset, it doesn't automatically switch to it as the default. You'd have to kill the service and restart it.
So I wrote a script that can offer me all the same functionality, and just mapped my audio hotkeys in my WM.
Thought someone might find the source useful.

How about module-switch-on-connect?
volumeicon. For instance, when I'd pair a bluetooth headset I would start getting audio through it, but my hotkeys would still be trying to adjust the previous sink. I'd have to kill and restart volumeicon for it to work again.
Google removes Kaspersky's antivirus software from Play Store
Over the weekend, Google removed Kaspersky's Android security apps from the Google Play store and disabled the Russian company's developer accounts.
Users have been reporting over the last week that Kaspersky's products (including Kaspersky Endpoint Security and VPN & Antivirus by Kaspersky) are no longer available on Google Play in the United States and other world regions.
Kaspersky confirmed the issue on the company's official forums on Sunday and said that it's currently investigating why its software is no longer available on Google's app store.
