The same amount of money in fewer hands creates a choke-point that they can squeeze later.

I have a FLX1s

It’s OK. Its fairly buggy, but the basics do work. I wouldn’t give it to a “normie”, without expecting a lot of complaints, but if you don’t mind tinkering, it’s not terrible.

I’ve been saying this for years. It’s been dumb to rely on the US for a loooong time, yet so much of the rest of the world does.

Imagine if they had spent all that money on building up and supporting FOSS instead.

As a smaller, weaker man, I’m always amazed that people think women are “inherently” weaker. Yes, stats matter, but there are so many woman who are drasticly stronger, and larger than me.

And good for them. I’ve never really been intimidated by that. I don’t understand this insecurity, but then again, I’m not a fucking fascist.

Also, I find the sports debate silly. We have different weight classes for different sports. Why is it suddenly different when its male vs female? Just do similar things, with similar controls.

Oof, no. Super no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco#Controversies

I recently watched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salò%2C_or_the_120_Days_of_Sodom

It was… interesting, but going for more “shock”, than actual substance.

Although I agree with you…

That’s how the vast majority of software has been built for the past couple of decades. LLM’s aren’t different in that regard, just faster.

I do enjoy programming, but I prefer “getting stuff done”. While I enjoy programming, I’d rather just get it done and move on. I like the results of having programmed.

Productivity is my problem, because I build stuff for myself, not just for my boss.

I switched to this setup after I saw the drama behind ttrss. I’ve been loving both, even if it was a bit of a pain to import the OPML.

I always woke up really grumpy, and feeling unrested. I was tired throughout the day, even after 8+ hours of sleep. Getting really hot, and sweating all night. Being hungry all the time.

A lot of those have other causes, so it was a bit difficult to pin down. But I’m glad I did.

This is how I felt when I found out I had sleep apnea.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been constantly tired, and unable to focus. Then I heard about the symptons, got diagnosed, got a sleep device, and suddenly I could stay awake, and focus. I’m sharper than I’ve ever been, and I have sooooooo much energy.

I often wonder how differently my life would have turned out if we had a society that, like, ya know, had sympathy for kids, and tried to understand where they were coming from instead of treating health issues like a moral failing.

I only know this because of Archer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIWDVuHDpq0

It’s been a long time since I was in school, but I was constantly accused of cheating by various software programs and teachers, when I did all the work myself. I don’t know how to tell if students are actually using AI or not, but the false-positives of these detection systems are no joke.

I think they are right to stress over them.

Firefox Focus and DDG on mobile. Qutebrowser and Librewolf on desktop.

Wow, good on Ubisoft. I usually don’t trust them, so I do wonder if they are trying something shitty, but this seems cool.

Wait, I can use an rss feed for this content? where?

I’m fairly happy with my Linux phone. Not too worried :P

Eh, I dunno about that. They are until election season, then suddenly its “Blue No Matter Who, even if they don’t support trans rights!”
