Adding alt+arrow keys navigation to my web browser has been great because I can hit that with the left joystick (mapped to arrow keys) and my back left bumper (alt) on my GPD Win 4.
sometimes I step back and admire how fucked up my default computer experience is. Folms are worried about GNOME desktops being too hard compared to windows. Meanwhile I had to run a TUI to connect to wifi until a few months ago and liked it 🤪

It is strange to read an article detailing exactly why and how Microsoft has lost its way, leading to products that really just aren't good any more, all the way through to academic critiques of Microsoft's AI push (though, I'll note, the article goes out of its way to not mention Emily Bender).... only to read in the closing lines that the author is completely unwilling to even try Linux.
Thinking of ditching Ollama and running Llama.cpp directly in a systemd user service. It's great for tinkering but it adds overhead and can be slower to adopt new llama.cpp features. Thanks to Arch linux it's easy to just build it from github using this AUR package.
lol half an hour banging my head only to figure out the test was running faster than the init code and the temp dir got cleaned before the worker could init a tem DB. 🤪
"Desktop" sites should still support "mobile" screen widths. Not everyone is going to have your site/webapp full screened and maybe they don't want your spyware laden mobile apps.
17. These lil digivice things seem perfect for my local assistant tinkering. Maybe once I get better hardware for inference or get streaming working locally.

Maybe some of the self driving hype could be directed into railways. Like the ultimate ai robot blockchain metaverse.

Do not rely on the A.I.-generated alt text in Facebook or Instagram. The result is vague and useless, like "may be an image of food and text," and "may be an image of outdoors." These do nothing to give users the context and content of an image.
I need a wider monitor :P
Race conditions from newly async-ified code. 😓
Thousands of smaller targets are harder to control than one or two big ones 🤷
Top down control structures and centralization of power have lredictable weaknesses. I get decentralization has downsides too but one feels more immediately relevant.

people of bluesky, I enjoy hearing from you, and bridgy has started sending me links when people who are not bridged @ me from bluesky so that I can notice them. However, keep in mind that I can't reply unless you're also bridged! https://fed.brid.gy/docs#bluesky-get-started
Glad I made these lists so I can see posts from folks that'd otherwise get lost in the timeline.
Cutting down on soda is going well so far. 🥲

I genuinely wonder how far we can get if we make a concerted effort to move away from the Rent-Seeker Economy (aka “SaaS”).
Like just whittling away at it and see if we can Shawshank our way out
