Pretty confident in my solve. The only ones I didn’t get myself were 20-down, 29-down (obvious in retrospect), and 21-across (inferred the word, but didn’t know the tool).

They’re talking about the desktop application.

Maybe there’s a cultural idea about mirrors being somehow “the same”. After all, a mirror shows the same thing regardless of which one it is. Or related in cultural mythology to a singular adjoining world that contains your doppelganger (in such media, you don’t usually have a separate mirror-self for every mirror, but one that can be accessed from any mirror). Also could be a turn of phrase that stuck without a good reason.

I couldn’t find a feature there either.

What do you find not great about mouse/keyboard GNOME? All the gestures I know have pretty simple mouse and keyboard equivalents. So far I just gesture three fingers up/down/left/right, which I can do on a keyboard with super/alt-super-left/alt-super-right or on a mouse with hot-corner/corner-click/corner-scroll. If there’s a gesture I’m missing out on please let me know, I always like to learn new tricks.

I haven’t had to use any application like that in a while, though I’m sure you’re right that they exist. Could you give me an example of an application feature that’s only accessible from the system tray?

1. Misalignment is a huge problem in any black-box system, not just in AGIs.
2. What would it look like for us to be close to AGI? I have doubts that we’re close, but it seems at least plausible.

I read it as pro-gyn-nova

• Pro: as in professional/effective
• Gyn: woman (from Proto-Indo-European *gwen), like in gynocology
• Nova: new (in many romance languages)

It rolls off the tongue and encapsulates three important aspects. I’m sure there are other readings of it too.

To poor for vegetables, lentils, beans, grains, and tofu? Meat imitations are currently expensive, but aren’t at all necessary.

So long as you have Firefox installed there’s a firefox search bar widget available. In Nova you add widgets with a long press on home screen and swipe up.

You can find the app for the launcher in the play store. There should be instructions in the app for making it your default launcher. Otherwise there are plenty of tutorials online.

You can use a different launcher to customize your home screen and get rid of the Google search bar. I use Nova and can confirm that a singular Firefox search bar works nicely, and I’m sure that it does with other launchers as well.
