Yeah, the COSMIC lack of polish caused me to jump to CachyOS.

I did something similar with an LED display on my computer case. The display required a proprietary UI program from the manufacturer to display GPU/CPU temps which unfortunately on…

Yeah, doesn't this reek of the Dotcom era where non-digital companies would just slap (.com) at the end of their name for the stock boost?

Is that why Anthropic recently gave out free credits for use in off-hours? Possibly an attempt to more evenly distribute their compute load throughout the day?

The advice to work on your own "shed" has really helped with my burnout during this AI age. I got into technology because I liked coding, building, and tinkering with systems. LLMs…

Couldn't you technically crawl all these blogs for their "blog's I'm reading" and create a social graph? You could start vetting based on how often other blogs link to that one, so…

I am also going to call out House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It's a really interesting book that explores a house that is slightly larger on the inside than the outside. It …

Microslop strikes again! AI implementations have really distilled all the shitty business practices tech companies have been doing into highly visible missteps. It is interesting w…

You need a social hobby. If you like gaming, go find a game night at a game store near you. If you want to feel some purpose, look up some volunteering opportunities at churches an…

I really don't like the patterns listed in the link. I'm going to use this just to get the LLMs to stop sounding so "corporate".

This is pretty much how every performance review I've had in the past 5 years has gone. Even up to my VP it's considered pretty useless. I'm not sure where it actually gets used by…

My org just moved to Gitlab because of the GH actions problems.

This is interesting. I started teaching myself Polars and used Claude to help me muscle through some documentation in order to meet deadlines on a project. I found that Claude wasn…

The neurotransmitter model of mental illness is largely incorrect. It's much more complex than just "Depressives have less serotonin, therefore lets give a reuptake-inhibitor to ke…

One thing to note too is the game can be beaten in the first 10-15 minutes or so without any glitches. You just need to have figured out the grand puzzle of the game. I found that …

I'm currently on Pop, but have an install of Cachy ready once I have some time and a stable connection. My main gripe of Pop (other than the COSMIC issues) was mostly audio issues …

How much of this is actually due to the recipient of the information being low-intelligence? If we use Communications theory for this (SCMR Model), having an intelligent sender and…

It doesn't help that it seems like society has been trending to reward individuals with a lack of shame. Fortune favors the bold, that is. Think of a lot of the inflammatory conten…

Does this mean the execs are now also under the UCMJ?

I am not sure how common it is nowadays, but a more recent example of an Anchoress is Nazarena of Jesus. Born in 1907, she joined the Camaldolese in the 40s and lived as a recluse …

Oooh, I am Baader-Meinhofing hard. I went down a rabbit hole on the Anchorite life after reading about Paul of Thebes.

I think it is really telling of the quality of the UI when the best way to use it is after enabling a bunch of accessibility settings. I found the Liquid Glass color background eff…

Historically consumer access to security/privacy tools has always been something the govt has wanted to restrict or prevent entirely.

Yeah it wasn't ever sane. It was just harder to onboard and you were still interacting mostly with people you knew. Now it's worse because you'll hardly ever interact with people y…

I bet c-suite uses Mac
