Glad to hear! What kind of workout do you like to do? I’m a lifter myself. I like the simplicity and consistency of the Stronglifts 5x5 program.

How’s your day going?

That’s some serious childhood right there. I remember when they were actually barrel shaped and had the foil top.

What wine are you drinking and why?

I don’t use AI at all. What you described is the principal reason. I also don’t like how these giant corpos are sucking up the entirety of human output to train these models without a care to the implications of it.

Right! It’s kinda wild when you do see them. I always equate it to the feeling of being in a casino.

What really throws me is tv commercials. When I do see one, like in a waiting room or something, all I can think is, “people fall for this?”

Hey now. In harsh3466 land only I have the authority to mint pinecones!

I am always shocked when I have to use a browser without an ad blocker. How do people tolerate it?

I mean, I get it. I know many people have no idea about adblocking, etc. But goddam. It’s so awful without it.

Doesn’t solve the whole problem, but here’s a great resource for car manuals called OPERATION charm

Did the pope even thank him for showing up to his funeral???

If you go with Wayland, use Hyprland. It’s pretty easy to find configs for Hyprland on github and/or tutorials on YouTube. I watched a few YouTube tutorials to get an understanding of how it works and then adjusted the base config to my liking.

If you’re using x11, there are more window manager options to choose from. I have no recommendations there, but I know i3, DWM, bwspm, and openbox are all popular and should have tutorials and configs readily available to work from.

Jaded outcast

Agree.

Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 somewhere around 2000. Ran that for a year or two until the PC it was on died.

Next time I was able to run it was 2008ish on a pos dell laptop on which I installed Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). When that laptop died a year or so later I went macOS and was happy there until about 2022ish.

Now I’m running it across several machines for different purposes.

Arch dualbooting OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my tinkering laptop.

Ubuntu Server 22.04 on my server (started with 18.04)

Fedora 41 on family computers/laptops

Asahi on the last bit of Apple hardware left in the house

Raspberry Pi OS on a number of PiS serving different purposes.

A subscription web service

This can be applied to anything, but the quote as I read it in a book by Piers Anthony (I know, gross, I was in middle school), was:

Power is a means to an end. Don’t let the means become the end.

I often think of it as:

Money is a means to an end. Don’t let the means become the end.

I did as well, small comfort.

And it’ll be subscription based.

I expect an affinity subscription plan.

Awesome!
