I’m not going to lie, that last one is the hardest thing for me.

After years of trades i always loved having a physical thing you can touch and feel at the end of the day. I’m in university for tech, and i’m still struggling with the lack of achievement. I don’t often get to see someone use a thing I worked on, so it kinda feels like I spent a lot of time doing nothing.

Google commenting on the decline of open standards feels like a tobacco company commenting on cancer rates.

You have a choice. We can watch Ninja Turtles, read Ninja Turtles, or play Ninja Turtles.

Nvidia is a real stepping stone on itself, keep with it and I’m sure you’ll learn your way around.

Think of it like moving to a new house. Even if you put your furniture in the same place, the floor plan is different, so for the first little bit you’re bound to stub your toe in the dark.

I fucking hope not.

The other night I dreamed Uncle Scrooge solved The Lament Configuration, so Huey Duey and Louie went to the pain dimension to rescue him. I don’t want to dream, I just want to die in peace.

I really miss summers without wildfire smoke.

This makes me wonder what the benefit of bipeds are for this over something like iBot’s multi wheel design. I get it makes sense for rubble or debris, but for halls and stairs multi wheel seems better and more refined.

Edited for autocorrect.

Melissa McCarthy does that for me. It’s getting better, but for the longest time I’d see an interview with her about some project and she’s funny, charming, intelligent, and convinces me to check it out. Then I would watch the thing and it’s like “Haha fat girl poopoo fart.” .

I’ve been Linux only since 2016, after a decade of "trying " to move over. I do still have a partition for the increasingly rare event that I need something MS, which so far has been one class in my University that required a lockdown browser for a test.

It’s a pretty bold move to advertise the inclusion of a key logger in your OS.

How many seconds you’re prepared to wait for Windows to shutdown.

That’s not a movie that you can make TV appropriate.

I pre ordered, and I’m usually annoyingly loud about not pre-ordering. That being said, i love my pebble time. I Kickstarted it back in the day, and it still works but the battery is weak. I could replace the battery, but i want more devices like this, so I’ll put some money in and eat Ramen for a few weeks.

It’s wild to me how hodgepodge the software was. It’s the software equivalent of the Ford pinto, great and then boom! But for a long time it’s all there was.

There were competitors, but nothing offered everything like the blackberry platform in the early 2000s, the (user facing) software and keyboard combo were nuts, and when the trackball was released (Curve? Pearl? Idk) it was like having a little computer in your pocket.

You need to be the right amount of high to properly understand fusion. Too far either way, and it doesn’t make sense.

We’re insured, right?

They don’t even do that. They just take the edge off enough that I don’t actually try to throw myself off a bridge.

I mean, sure, but the issue is that the rules aren’t being applied on the same level. The data in question isn’t free for you, it’s not free for me, but it’s free for OpenAI. They don’t face any legal consequences, whereas humans in the USA are prosecuted including an average fine per human of $266,000 and an average prison sentence of 25 months.

OpenAI has pirated, violated copyright, and distributed more copyright than an i divided human is reasonably capable of, and faces no consequences.

My use of the term “human” is awkward, but US law considers corporations people, so i tried to differentiate.

I’m in favour of free and open data, but I’m also of the opinion that the rules should apply to everyone.

I all keep going back to my Pebble Time. The battery life and focus on productivity are second to none.

Audacity is wild to me. It does so much on so many platforms.
