I thought of trying it myself, but I just remembered I no longer have a ChatGPT account lol

They didn’t change it; always has been.

“Rapaz” = Guy, as in a young man, in Galician / Bird of prey in Spanish.

I’m Spanish, and the title not sounding natural to native English speakers is something that happens very often when writing in a language that you only learned at an older age.

Keep in mind that living in an environment surrounded by a different language than the one you artificially try to communicate on comes with such disadvantage, because the grammar structures are not the same and, yet, your brain unconsciously tries to apply them because it is what it feels right or natural to do, even if it isn’t.

PD: El País is a Spanish newspaper.

Here you have another view I took

Sure thing you can. It’s called “La Pedriza” and it is located in central Spain. It is a popular hiking destination, even for families with kids!

As I grow older, I appreciate going out to natural spaces more than ever. This one is from yesterday’s excursion.

I, as a Debian boy, respect Arch as a fellow community-held distro.

This the guy that attacked Debian for being “woke”; ain’t watching him.

Even Richard Stallman uses Linux.

Thanks to you all for helping me understand it :)

Hi! Thank you for your reply. So, if I understood correctly, whenever I click on “Install from Debian/GNU Linux” on Discover I am getting software directly from Debian’s repository (thus, a “repository” in the sense that it’s a place where this software is stored and can be retrieved); same thing when clicking on “Install from Flathub” for a Flatpak from Flathub. This does seem like the safest approach in the sense that it’s the less risky one and, if malware did slip through, such as the XZ backdoor, at least it would not have been due to a personal mistake of mine, but a general one which would’ve affected much more people too.

This, in turn, is different from APT, which is not Debian’s repository, but Debian’s package manager. So, technically, I could write “sudo apt install (anything)” to get any piece of software from Debian’s repository indeed, but I could also use that command to get software from somewhere else also in the form of a Deb package but which would not have come from Debian itself.

Did I get this right?

Thanks a bunch.

Thank you! Honestly, it’s quite amazing that I can enjoy such complex pieces of software made by and taken care of by the community while not trying to sell me anything or sell my data in return. I love Debian and FLOSS in general.

Thanks for joining the conversation and help make things clear. This does help; so, basically, not having manually enabled anything else than Flathub/Flatpaks on Discover, and having Debian’s repository already, I am fine as long as I install programmes from either of those two.

Thank you for your insightful comment. If I may incur once again in noobieness, what precisely do you mean when you say the “repository” of my distribution? Do you mean the pieces of software than come preinstalled with the OS itself?

Thank you; this helps me to better understand it.

Hi! Thank you for your comment.

You are right in what you said; I should’ve phrased my question better. What I meant was that I didn’t want the ChatGPT-like generative AI kind of thing that tends to hallucinate included in my translation solution of choice. I had just visited the Reverso website prior to writing this post and it was all like AI this, and AI that, and, frankly, it’s gotten to the point where it is simply fatiguing to have those two letters shovelled up my throat permanently wherever I go.

So, yeah, I of course wouldn’t mind my translator to keep using the kind of technology that makes translators function, but do despise the slop they are trying so hard for us to accept.

I have downloaded, but have not tried yet, Dialect on my computer, and am still looking for a solution for my phone.

Thanks again.

For real, not having the mouse slows you down big time, even though I’m more or less skilled at keyboard shortcuts
