German state ditches Microsoft for Linux and LibreOffice - It would be cool to find out more about this project. Do they have a team of developers working on features? Seems like Linux could be a good fit for government, big possibilities for automation, but I'd say you would need to have a great technical team. www.zdnet.com #

Opera allows users to download and use LLMs locally - I predicted this would happen recently when I wrote about LLMs in the browser, seems like an obvious combination. Interested to see what form it takes. It's not obvious how it will change the browser UI. It's nice to get a prediction right for once :) techcrunch.com #

Apple’s electric car loss could be home robotics’ gain - Apple robots for the home sounds like it could be awesome. I'd love to have access to the design teams that are working on this at Apple. I bet a greenfield hardware project like this would have a ton of really crazy ideas sketched out with weird prototypes. Some Apple engineers are likely having the times of their lives right now, which makes me smile :) techcrunch.com #

Linux On The Laptop Works So Damn Well That It’s Boring - It's amazing how far we've come with Linux on the desktop. If I ever have a chance to have another laptop, please god :), I'd most likely run Linux on it. My biggest worry would be how it integrates with mobile devices. You really want stuff like syncing photos abd videod to 'just work'. clivethompson.medium.com #
