“Albert Camus is a saint.”

Amen.

As a poor person with low-end, old hardware, I love XFCE. It has extended my laptop’s practical use-life by at least 8 years now, and counting.

Sadly it doesn’t. I’ll try it on a different machine this evening!

Hey OP, this could be a me problem, but currently the linked article gives me a 404.

My thought exactly: it’s essentially impossible to avoid micro plastic ingestion. I have no idea how one would go about removing plastic packaging from their food supply as it’s used to package basically everything.

Yeah honestly report all of those accounts to law enforcement. It’s unlikely they’d be able to do much, I assume, but these people are literally distributing CSAM.

She’d probably ask my why I have full archives of a lot of old websites, and why I have archives of everything I have ever written for school or work.

I’m glad to hear it! You’re very welcome.

It sounds like you’ve already got a pretty good outlook on the sport and your recovery at this point, judging by your responses to mine and other comments!

Thank you for the encouragement, I hope you have a speedy climb back to where you want to be, and that you enjoy every step of it as much as you can! (Recognizing how unpleasant running can be even when you love it!)

Hey! Long distance runner here with over a decade of experience in the sport! I’ve dealt with several injuries throughout; most recently I spent about two years dealing with pretty debilitating long Covid, having gotten Covid in 2020 before a vaccine existed.

For me, what has helped me push through to finally running real mileage has been assessing exactly what it was that I liked about the sport, and what the sport did for me mentally, physically, emotionally. I then focused on those things I loved about it and have focused on them every run. Instead of thinking about how much farther and faster I could run in 2020, I think about how I get smaller versions of those things I love about the sport in my current runs. I know that the only way to get them is to keep going and trying to get back in shape.

Slowly but surely I’ve gotten back on my feet and it has given me a new appreciation for running, and a new view on the sport and lifestyle thag accompanies it.

I hope this helps in some way, I know it was long winded.

As a fan of Faulkner, I am personally offended by that sign.

I’ll one up ya!

I am a pen and paper guy…for initial notes.

If I deem a certain note or set of notes is worth keeping long term, then I recreate them in Joplin. All about the extra work.

Nope! Telegram because you know what they say in cryptography circles: always roll your own! Oh wait…

Not to knock anyone else, but this is the coolest OC I’ve seen in this forum! Absolutely beautiful :)

Considering courts have been using Zoom since COVID…I am dying to see what happens. Will Zoom clarify that it doesn’t collect/utilize meeting recordings to train AI? Is it going to exactly that and force anyone conducting sensitive business to find a new platform?

This feels like a remarkably bad move, both for privacy and for Xoom’s own business concerns, unless I’m missing something.

My grandfather told me that the next world war would likely be fought over clean water decades ago and unfortunately it looks like that was another example of what a smart man he was.

FreshRss! It’s a selfhostable web app/server with a browser reader.

The full text extraction takes some technical fiddling and reading, but it works like a charm!

FreshRss also allows you (with some reading/testing) to scrape web pages that don’t have aftual RSS feeds. What I like is that it lets me read on web at work where I can’t use my phone, and use my phone elsewhere, and keep it all synced.

I’m also a data/hoarder type so I like knowing that as long as I run it, I don’t lose my feeds!

I’m starting to think this guy has to be a plant. I’m not sure to what end.

Although the sadder and lamer truth is likely that this is where we’re at as a country and he’s a natural consequence of our decline.

I think it’s the same reason the CEO’s of these corporations are clamoring about their own products being doomsday devices: it gives them massive power over crafting regulatory policy, thus letting them make sure it’s favorable to their business interests.

Even more frustrating when you realize, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, these new “AI” programs and LLMs aren’t really novel in terms of theoretical approach: the real revolution is the amount of computing power and data to throw at them.
