Specify that, “free” means two things in English, otherwise use “libre”, which means freedom in Spanish and it’s sometimes used to refer to free or libre software.

I found a small command to run KDE Spectacle (screenshot software) with Tesseract so I can OCR a screenshot if I want to, I only had to install Tesseract and a main language, you could easily do the same with an API and/or a local AI.

That’s why I only use Perplexity. ChatGPT can’t give me sources unless I pay, so I can’t trust information it gives me and it also hallucinated a lot when coding, it was faster to search in the official documentation rather than correcting and debugging code “generated” by ChatGPT.

I use Perplexity + SearXNG, so I can search a lot faster, cite sources and it also makes summaries of your search, so it saves me time while writing introductions and so.

It sometimes hallucinates too and cites weird sources, but it’s faster for me to correct and search for better sources given the context and more ideas. In summary, when/if you’re correcting the prompts and searching apart from Perplexity, you already have something useful.

BTW, I try not to use it a lot, but it’s way better for my workflow.

Lol, that used to happen to me a lot when I used Windows. I resized my Linux partition and rarely return, I only have the basics installed because of some uni projects that might require Windows software and it still manages to bug while updating or opening Teams
