old habit die hard

but…but…but…he said he would fix it! Sure he didn’t say how but he would, right? Right?!?

Trusting a con man…

Nice spelling. Don’t be surprised when it starts to taste like piss.

The problem with that is that AI itself is unreliable and will be confidently incorrect all the time.

Gordon Ramsey was spot on

I feel like most of these people were way over analyzing the questions. No reason to look for in depth meaning of possible answers, just answer them and take them at face value.

Honest question - is GitLab really that different of a vendor lock-in over GitHub?

At first, I thought this was getting voted down because it was some random insensitive comment but the video in the news article that someone else shared looked like he was doing aerial maneuvers - maybe not a barrel roll, hard to tell as it just showed the plane pulling up out of a steep dive and barely not clearing the water but the eyewitness specifically called it a barrel roll.

“ok, now add a metric shit ton of swearing and further belittle parsers who can’t deal with tabs.”

If she woke up to a vibration from a watch, I bet she’d wake up hearing motorized blinds.

It doesn’t kinda feel that way, doesn’t it?

I found exercise that I actually wanted to do. For me, this started out as cycling. I enjoyed being able to go places and see things. I used to just cycle casually with my family but when the COVID lock downs happened, I would go on 30+ mile bike rides. It was nice to get out, see things and the roads were pretty empty around me so I could go just about anywhere.

The biggest problem with that around here is that it gets really cold during the winter so I started doing a combination of cardio, hand weights and basic exercises like pushups, etc to just get my heart rate going and sweat a bit. I do have an indoor bike trainer but I don’t enjoy that quite as much because it’s just sort of boring compared to being out and seeing scenery.

I was sort of stuck at this weight of around 190, which by the BMI charts is a few pounds overweight for my height. This last fall, I was challenged by my sister in law, along with her other siblings, to run a half marathon. I used to play soccer and I used to run for a good while in my 30s - it’s how I stayed in shape back then and was able to lose a good bit of weight. So I started running and I found it to be really easy, probably because I didn’t have to fight through the getting winded - it was mostly my leg muscles getting used to running. Now I run around 30 miles a week, even in the cold. The only thing I struggle with now is taking care of my knees and leg muscles as that’s the biggest issue I run into that could prevent me from keeping it up. I’ve been running since November and am down to 180 and I feel great.

Now food wise, I mostly just try to be generally aware of going in excess for anything that is just sugar or a food that calorie dense but not providing nutrients. I try to keep fruit around the house. if I think I am hungry, I ask if I am hungry enough to eat and apple or a plum - something like that and will do so if I am. I still snack on stuff like pretzels, crackers, etc. I eat things that aren’t healthy for me but I try hard to not go overboard on anything.

I’m with you there. This is one of those problems that I wish someone could easily solve but I’m really not holding my breath. That seems like the tricky bit where it hasn’t been figured out technically within the platform. While it seems like you could solve the problem by basically being able to create meta communities where all communities with the same name get grouped as one large virtual community, it doesn’t solve for cases where two are named different but are the same topic and then it opens things up to abuse where an off topic community is created.

So then it becomes something where communities need to choose to federate with each other but how? Who gets final say?

Not to mention how things get handled when there are multiple posts on the same topic. Are they merged? Are the duplicates removed? What about comments? What happens on the backend? The sheer amount of code one would need to modify to have such a feature would just be overwhelming I would think so it’s not surprising it hasn’t been done yet.

Funny that predictive text seems to be more advanced in this instance but I suppose this is one of those scenarios that you want to make sure you get right.

I haven’t kept up with anything reddit wise but I thought those tools utilized the now inaccessible APIs unless they’ve figured out how to do it without them.

What’s the problem with just not using the portion of the service you do not wish to use? For almost everyone, the integration with email for the calendar is what actually makes it function, where you will be interacting with other people. Most people who want to create a new, unique calendar will just create an additional one in an existing account if they want a separate calendar for a certain purpose.

That’s what I do with my wife for events that we both need to know about. So we have a calendar that is just our stuff and we both subscribe to it (or more like she has the calendar shared with her from my account) but she has permissions to add/remove things. Is there some reason you need a completely separate calendar on a unique service? I feel like we are missing something about your use case to actually be able to understand what you are trying to do.

I would start by checking for any sort of errors in your system logs, such as /var/log/syslog or using dmesg -w. In my experience, Linux is almost universally faster than Windows.

Battery life tends to be the one things I really look forward to with a new phone these days. Instead of paying to replace my battery, I just sell my phone and get a new one.
