I came here to say this. I had abandoned smartwatches entirely and gone back to mechanical watches because smartwatches just did too much and the small utility I got from them (i.e…

This is horrible and a big reason why I refuse to go “all in” on Apple, Google, or Microsoft (among other reasons). Apple is the one I’m closest to given my hardware, though. Given…

I have been experimenting with Immich off and on for over a year, first in docker-compose and now in podman. It is slick and seamless in a lot of ways, but the portability and upgr…

I would absolutely call it good given the volume of comments that flow through here. Not sure what other communities you’re referring to, but my experience over decades of forums a…

You lost me at “the left”.

I’ve been in rather intense therapy for several years due to a hyper religious upbringing and a narcissistic mother. Recently I’ve used AI to help summarize and synthesize thoughts…

Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you..

Immutable distros today feel like someone read a CNCF "best of" publication and decided to throw it at desktop Linux to see what sticks. Not everyone wants to be a DevOps engineer.…

I've tried so many things like this over the years and considered Configurator, but my only Apple computer at this point is a corporate Mac that blocks USB access to my phone. It's…

I have never input anything into one of these tools that I wasn’t entirely comfortable with them using for training or any other reason. I just assumed it was happening.

It's so funny you mention that because I picked up the Daily Stoic a couple of years ago and have read it off and on. I have found it really enjoyable. Thanks for the rec!

I do agree point #2 is possible, but is that not something that could be accounted for and tuned in the model to an extent? I believe a tuned LLM would be able to distinguish betwe…

I mean I found great relief from high-demand Evangelicalism via giving up on my belief and seeking intense therapy from the traumas I experienced. However, as both I, my wife, and …

As someone who was raised extremely religious, strayed to the polar opposite, and is now trying to find my way in between the two, I do find this interesting. While the understandi…

I've been using Firefox for years personally and I love it. But it's cumbersome to try to use it for work, at least in a separate browser instance a la Chrome Profiles or Safari pr…

This is reminiscent of my own experience with Linux, but I didn't go the developer route and instead ended up in product management via sysadmin and consulting. Through the years, …

Also upvoting, as this is a valuable lesson as you head into a career: no company (nor school) cares about you more than they care about the organization. HR does not work for you …

I did the same and will likely end up back with Instapaper. Omnivore’s export leaves a lot to be desired, though. Trying to find a script that will give me something usable to impo…

Ugh this is the only read-it-later service I ever found that "stuck". It was so simple and good. This sucks.

I did pay briefly for Kagi, but ultimately just didn't see the benefit over DDG. Google seems to be too far gone to be useful, but DDG still consistently finds what I need. Other t…

I gave up at "You give up human readable files". While I recognize in some cases these recommendations may make sense/CSV may not be ideal, the idea of a CSV _export_ is generally …

The religious "trust" scale would likely look largely the same. While "deeply religious" may have been the reality for the US at one point, I think it would be hard to argue that w…

I did this back in 2012 after using Android and iPhone for the previous 4-5 years and despite really finding it a good experience, even then it was becoming difficult to live witho…

Agreed. Miniflux is rock solid and I use Reeder on my iOS devices, which actually is gorgeous and looks native on iOS. Have used NetNewsWire as well.

I've found restic + rclone to be extremely stable and reliable for this same sort of differential backup. I backup to Backblaze B2 and have also used Google Drive with success, eve…
