been thinking that for awhile now

I have either learned to tune it all out or have been worn down of all the terrible news. But of all the terriblew news to come from this administration, this kind of thing guts me…

I believe I discovered him through that same video! I now tell everyone I know about guerilla gardening lol, haven't got the know-how to do it myself quite yet though. Soon enough.…

who is Asha? not a part of Microsoft, I find it weird a company leader wouldn't sign their whole name even if an internal memo.

Same boat as you. It's wild that I can turn on the xbox, wait 20-30min for mandatory updates, then need to re-sign in or occasionally reset my wireless mac address due to some bug,…

I've had an Xbox I got from a friend and I legitimately don't know which Xbox it is lol

you make a good point on the discussion over time. I do miss that aspect of old forums, felt like you could have conversations as opposed to chats , in a way? It's unheard of for d…

I actually had the same experience as you (own it, played it only a bit for similar reasons), but FWIW I believe there is a sandbox mode to just play around in. Another chill medie…

cool, thx for the tip!

yea I do think you're right. Really dislike that they've truly stuffed it down as everything getting auto-uploaded to OneDrive. Would be happy to use it to store certain docs but c…

Literally was just googling yesterday about why Windows File Explorer genuinely takes longer to boot up than microsoft edge. Insane how fast they are enshittifying.

have you met a realtor? They can be some great people but as a profession they are known more for their extroversion and soft skills than their high IQ understanding of economics l…

why don't we kill off Goodreads instead! Bad UI, confusing, poor features, toxic users. Letterboxd is harmless, anyone could vibecode a replacement in a day and a half.

I wonder what the smallest, still practical, application of this would be now if you could implement it locally on your machine assuming you have decent hardware. Maybe something w…

while these examples might be easy fodder for criticism I do feel like this whole idea of talking to an LLM across multiple applications and anything your pointer is on will give i…

so amazing thank you for sharing!!

hey man, live on the other side of the country from you but just want to share that the collective desire for a third space is so strong that i think no matter what you do you are …

well there's place for both, right? I think it's valid for us to agree at the end of the day that you need to have so-called radical groups that accept nothing less than what they …

honestly man I am not an expert at the terminology of liberal vs. leftist vs. progressive vs whatever. I'm just empathetic and care about uplifting our fellow citizens and want to …

idk man I see your points for sure but feel like you're taking a pessimistic and dramatic take on it. Doing a little something is better than nothing when it comes to climate actio…

that's a valid analogy for sure, I get that and see your point. But I'm not sure it applies 1:1 here, though. Whereas the systems you refer to are often structured around this idea…

honestly bruh this is weirdly combative and not a good look on behalf of whatever movements you stand for

Consider me (a real person) a case study in exactly this occurring. Never heard of permacomputing until right now. Super intrigued, very interested in the topic... Saw that whole l…

Using your own final example: could you not argue that if you trim the edges every day to fight weeds (read: practice permacomputing as a daily lifestyle), then over time the weeds…
