I feel like this is one of those times where there is huge “second mover advantage”

AI tools will make work more productive. But right now we are in the pre-Lotus123 era where none of the tools work intuitively and synergistically and there is a hell of a lot more futzing and Solitaire than spreadsheet wizardry

Your life is what you mundanely do every day

No one special day defines your life

(Unless you do something stupid like just graze the ear)

His bro DJT says the same thing about what will happen if his tariffs are blocked

The end of the world, to these guys, is someone not agreeing with them

Well USA is not the only NATO member with nukes, maybe Trump needs a reminder

America needs the same denazification that turned Germany and Japan into tolerant diverse democracies.

I met multiple long term romantic partners from this exact thing.

Plus even if you don’t find someone, any time invested in saving animals is absolutely positive karma you can feel good about, even if it was just cleaning cages.

May need to get one of these

I’ve been doing good with an older generation of AfterShokz

I just now searched NYT product reviews for “bone conducting headphones”

We recommend the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones for runners who want to hear their surroundings.1They offer a comfortable design that leaves your ears uncovered, producing more bass and less vibration than other bone-conduction headphones.1The hybrid design handles bass effectively, and may change your mind if you’ve disliked bone-conduction headphones in the past.1For swimmers, we recommend the Shokz OpenSwim Pro headphones, which have a built-in MP3 player and use bone-conduction technology for clearer sound underwater.2They’re also comfortable for extended wear and surprisingly stable during swimming.2Another option is the Philips Go TAA7607, which offers similar performance to the Shokz OpenRun but includes a red LED strip for visibility during dusk training.1

£100 is roughly the price point for mid-range bone conducting, outside-the-ear headphones. These rest against the bone next to the ear instead of inside the ear itself. You can get lower end options for more like £45

I cannot recommend these strongly enough!

1. Your ear canal is open to the air, not plugged up for hours
2. You can still hear your environment, great for biking/walking/running/not getting snuck up on

Yet another USAian here. I’m doing my part to stand with my EU allies!

bash is also well supported in Windows via WSL

Do you use IDCS? If not, why not? Have you taken care of automating encryption and backup to cloud? There’s a new open source shared media server, are you interested in configuring, securing, and testing it?

It’s mostly set and forget, Earth is mostly harmless, etc

Have you checked Mistral? Open weights and training set. What more do you want?

I haven’t tested this but TBH as someone who has run Linux at home for 25 years I love the idea of an always alert sysadmin keeping my machine maintained and configured to my specs. Keep my IDS up to date. And so on.

Two requirements:

1 Be an open source local model with no telemetry

2 Let me review proposed changes to my system and explain why they should be made

IMO PeerTube would be much larger but grifter sites like Rumble and Odyssee/LBRY are sucking a lot of the wind from the YT-alternative ecosystem

Long term IMO PeerTube is the only sensible architecture. federated.

finally I can play Solitaire on my HPUX

Seems like popping open WSL in a Windows VM running inside a Linux host
