@polpo you know what's crazy? One time I accidentally cracked a full-size SD Card open, and I found that inside it was just a microSD card adapter with a permanently attached microSD card.

Easier to see the 3D when it's only the camera that's moving.
The full moon is coming up. Be gentle with yourself and be weary of rash decisions.
Can confirm that getting an extra 10 GB of RAM to allocate to applications has improved my quality of life :P
I love long weekends but the hectic first day of catching up on meetings and emails can be a lot :P

Id like to put my lab servers to work archiving US federal data thats likely to get pulled - climate and biomed data seems mostly likely. The most obvious strategy to me seems like setting up mirror torrents on academictorrents. Anyone compiling a list of at-risk data yet?
Really wanna do some content addressed p2p data sharing over meshtastic :o

Complaining about software
There's something a little perverse about using an entire Playstation 5 to play McPixel but the game is fun as heck.

It’s unspeakable how many cryptic little icons have invaded new apps.
- little downward caret
- ellipsis
- VERTICAL ellipsis
- plus sign
- click your own profile pic to access everything important
- gear
- gear, but it does only 1 thing, which is never useful
- hamburger
- hamburger but only 5 items inside, & only 1 is useful
- ℹ️
The future is me with a big text file, 1 heading per app, saying what sequences to click for each workflow. It becomes outdated every 36 hours.
For anyone in #ottawa that's interested in #LocalFirst tech or #LLM / #AI tech, I'll be presenting about how user agents can enable web applications to do AI stuff while leaving control over the model and data to users. I'll be demoing how we do it in @agregore with an example app that generates web apps using your local LLM and publishes to #Hypercore

Genuinely, who is organizing progressives in Canada and how do I get involved? It feels like the center left has absolutely been asleep here since 2015 and I don’t know what the fuck to do about it.
ETA: I am looking for actual names of groups, people, organizations, not analysis. I don’t want to hear about NGOs and certified non-profits. I fucking get why this is happening and don’t need a lecture telling me what I already know, I’m looking for who’s actually working on the problem.
