CD-re az Ubuntu 18 lemezképfájl ajánlott, mivel a későbbi verziószámúak nem férnek rá a CD-re, vagyis a DVD-re.

The Ubuntu 18 image file is recommended for CD, as later versions do not fit on CD, i.e. DVD.

added two more screenshots to - the "root" post view is incorrect, but when reply-on-reply, information goes up-then-down.

root post view IS correct, sorry.

replied to:

I understand your confusion, but that's the formatting - quoted parent is below the child post - then that post's replies follow in the discussion view. The top post is always quoting its parent below it, the different bg makes it distinct. Just need to get used to it, same on X.

replied to:

There really is no other way to include the parent otherwise, you have to break the hierarchy at some point, the other form would need to omit the parent body and show a 'parent' link but we want to include its body.

and moving the quoted above would break the consistency with the actual feed posts which would make it way more confusing.

Don’t be beholden to one LLM basket. Get yourself an Openrouter account, get yourself an open source harness like pi and get yourself educated. I will die on this hill.

replied to:

I agree with this. I already use different models for different tasks in part for this reason. Never bothered with an OpenRouter account though, I just have accounts set with each provider. And Pi is excellent. I actually find it much better than Claude Code.
