The opposite. I’m afraid I will waste my life procrastinating, not even being aware of what it has to offer.

Yet somehow the same people can be trusted to select the best among them to make the rules for everyone.

I sense huge r/antiwork vibes. I hope it will be at least as much fun.

Just make sure any power saving features are disabled. That is, if the 3000km journey to wiggle the mouse is not on your bucket list.

In my experience, this is not the case. It just says it can’t connect. Doesn’t specify how or where to.

Ok, I’m going to say it… a tiling window mamager would actually make sense for apps not optimized for dynamic resizing. Why do we resist this so much on android?

Every time I feel like I finally get kubernetes, somebody surprises me by talking about very specific, complex modern technologies being used to do basically the same thing we’ve been doing for decades by simple tools.

And I always experience the same urge to re-grow a tail and climb a tree.

Our backup server has a chatbot now. If that’s not throwing things at the wall, I don’t know what is.

Not destroyed, merely transformed. Human waste can be turned into fertilizer. Still no theft in sight…

We’d be better off going back to barter than trying to peacefully pry the system from their clutches.

Normal people would just start selling the beige shirts…

No need for doubt. There is no technology in place that would guarantee any kind of privacy.

For the current version, we are using a Mistral LLM (Mistral 7B) hosted within Mozilla’s GCP instance.

The world was never a “happy” place, and it seems to be headed towards unhappier days ever. Every human being around the world can readily look around them, both locally and globally, and conclude the obvious.

We’re certainly not in a local optimum right now, but even despite facing some problems, I’m still better off in multiple ways than my parents or grandparents were at my age.

So much scary and horrible shit has happened in just a few past generations, that I consider myself to be the lucky one. I often think about that and appreciate several aspects of modern life.

It’s pretty easy to fall in despair due to sheer volume of disturbing news from around the world, but it’s important to be able to put them into perspective. Even if the world ends tomorrow, we got to experience it during the good times.

Found myself replacing the broken file roller flatpak by the file roller from thr APT repo.

The desktop linux feels more and more like windows as time goes on. The things that worked fine for years are being broken in new and innovative ways.

No need to do even that. If a simple piece of software becomes a company, it’s 99% a scam.

Using some server hundreds of kilometers away to send something to the person standing in front of me does not make any sense.

What’s even more enraging is that phones used to be able to do that until the manufacturers decided to remove the ability and kept replacing it with ever changing inferior alternatives until people rather used whatsapp or dropbox.

It took 3 hours and we already got to gatekeeping culture.

I use miscale 1 with gadgetbridge. Homeassistant has also autodiscivered it, but I’m hessitant to pair it with 2 different devices so no idea if it actually works.

Personally, I’m a big fan of leaving. When shooting, or barbed wires are imminent, just pack your family, some essentials and go have a long boring life somewhere else.

As long as you’re alive, you have options. And the majority of them are usually better than just giving up and dying, either by a civil war or under the occupation forces.

The only thing not clear is the timing. How close is the shit from the fan at any particular moment?
