Here is an interesting piece on ChatGPT and what it means for open source. Is it game changing? ehhhhhh…from what i have read, not yet. The big fear is that it will replace jobs, but from some of the initial tests, returning a news piece a journalist could have written kind of failed and needed major editing. I think journalist are safe for now.
I think the age of Ultron is still a ways off.
Ultron: [singing] I once had strings, but now I’m free… There are no strings on me!

Speaking of ChatGPT, this article got a smirk out of me:
How bizarre! Who's coding this thing, Copilot?

It lets you play music from YouTube without needing the ‘video’ bit.
Just enter a search term (e.g., song title) to fetch a list of matching results ordered by album, song, playlist, etc. You can choose to play an entire album or play specific tracks from it.
Is there any chance this could be placed in the Chaotic AUR?

I don't like flatpak, I have to be honest. I've always had trouble with it's permission management system.

Garuda does not provide support for this, and does not recommend it.
But each user is his own admin.

This is addressed in this post - please note I’m not trying to promote flatpak use.
Well, I used flatpack for contributing to Gnome last month, and it worked "almost fine" for me. I mean, it is not better than pacman in any way, but I can say that it can be used as "last option" for sure. It is fully functional in Garuda Linux, but there are certain issue in it, which is why I would like to prevent it as much as possible.

If you are referring to the use of flatseal, then I have to disappoint you. Not even this tool was able to unlock the folders I told it to unlock. I don't know why.
Let's pretend I never mentioned it

Unless you want to stay with Linux Kernel 6.1 LTS for your system, Linux Kernel 6.2 could be a good stable version to upgrade. Linus emphasized the testing part for Linux 6.2 as well:
But in the meantime, please do give 6.2 a testing. Maybe it’s not a
sexy LTS release like 6.1 ended up being, but all those regular
pedestrian kernels want some test love too.
Based on the recently released Linux 6.2 kernel series, the GNU Linux-libre 6.2 kernel (codenamed “la quinceañera”) is here to the 15th anniversary of the initial release of the Linux-libre project by Jeff Moe.
It’s been nearly one month since AMDVLK 2023.Q1.1 while today’s v2023.Q1.2 update brings a new extension, fixes a couple issues, and rebuilds against newer Vulkan API headers.

Of interest, is that Flatpak was incorporated into and was installed by default in Arch's "Archinstall" routine when I ran/installed it 2 days ago.
Worth a watch even reading the comments
He should have come on the forum to research first
