I hear there’s some sort of AI mandate coming but no idea what it is yet. A few coworkers poke at chatGPT for basic coding questions. I will not use it for anything at this point. IT here is mostly useless contractors so they can’t tell what we’re doing and they can’t make us do anything. My direct reporting chain will back me working how I want to work so I don’t foresee any issues.

I fully recognize I’m in a highly privileged position that many others aren’t. But I’m going to take full advantage and keep my sanity.

i think it’s fingerprints…?

Like a pun on data fingerprinting. But that’s not exactly what this service protects against.

They’re literally working with a manufacturer to make non-google phones. Tethered to google is a wild mischaracterization.

As usual this applies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge’s_law_of_headlines

yep, it was already impossible to get people to use fdroid. Now there’s no way anyone except hardcore enthusists will even attempt to get away from the play store.

It reframes a thing as your fault if you miss the opt-out window. They are blame free and you failed to protect yourself.

It’s a reference to a meme about how male authors often describe female characters. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/breasted-boobily

Wow didn’t expect a reply 2 months later. I’ll give the new version a try. Thanks!

Yep it’s horoscopes for techbros. Come into it with unreasonable expectations and read whatever meaning you want out of it. Infinite validation machine.

Mutual funds and ETFs are both types of investments that represent a group of individual stocks and are generally managed in some way, either by a person or by a fixed algorithm. Mutual funds have some tax implications that can by annoying for people so ETFs tend to be preferred for taxable accounts (in the US at least).

Yeah I think that’s where the distinction between rich and wealthy comes in. You still have to work for a living and are closer to homelessness than renting out Venice for a wedding (for instance).

I just replaced all my recalled Mideas with GE Profile ClearViews. We’ve been running them through the current northeast US heatwave and they’ve been very good. Definitely get one of the inverter driven ones (10 or 12k BTUs I think, the smaller ones aren’t).

That’s a pretty rough way to serve videos if you get popular. Peertube at least does some peering to help mitigate your server load.

Pangolin continues to deliver wildly useful features.

I tried and bounced off of several of the other popular auth providers over the years. PocketID was the first one I found reasonable to set up and configure.

I moved my entire public facing set of services over to Pangolin a little over a month ago. It’s been pretty sweet. I really like the auth system and they just integrated custom oidc providers so I’ve got pocketID set up with it as well.

I have a pretty complex nvim setup already for general editing. Is there any way this could handle all the custom nvim stuff somewhere else and leave my existing config alone? When I tried it just now it installed an init.vim next to my init.lua in ~/.config/nvim, which didn’t clobber anything but did break both tide42 and normal nvim.

It Takes Two was fun time with 2 people. The story is a little corny but overall enjoyable.
