The monopoly tried to make them the same thing.

Lawrence Lessig called out their bullshit, or they would have gotten away with it

Internet Standards.

The things MS tried to extend-and-extinguish the Web when it was just barely born. Remember campaigns “best in any browser” ?

We almost didn’t have an open Internet.

Fuck you specifically, MicroSoft

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)

ofc this is Fedi so that’s just a list; there is no the list

so decentralized, so Internet

shit registration functions

… and there are some shit moderators here, just like on Reddit

… and there are some really high-value communities here, because of really good moderation – just like on Reddit

EDIT: But it’s Federated, and therefore much more self-healing in that decentralized Internet way

wildlife conservation

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.

If you have a physical Dymaxion Map, you make each vertex a hinge so you can swing to connect the bits you want to be adjacent for the purpose at hand.

DYMAXION MAP OR GTFO

EDIT: details

It has less distortion of relative size of areas, most notably when compared to the Mercator projection; and less distortion of shapes of areas, notably when compared to the Gall–Peters projection. Other compromise projections attempt a similar trade-off.

More unusually, the Dymaxion map does not have any “right way up”. Fuller argued that in the universe there is no “up” and “down”, or “north” and “south”: only “in” and “out”.[9] Gravitational forces of the stars and planets created “in”, meaning “towards the gravitational center”, and “out”, meaning “away from the gravitational center”. He attributed the north-up-superior/south-down-inferior presentation of most other world maps to cultural bias.

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

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

“We call it the Krasnov Strategy’.”

If we’re talking ChemLawn, I’ll agree with you. But mulch mowing the yard is IMO categorically better than paving (or ChemLawning)

Love to see a change.org petition to this effect

People: Save the Earth!

Trump: Pave the Earth!

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
