I've been using herdr for a couple of weeks. The only real advantage is that it makes the agent status glanceable in the sidebar, which can be nice if you don't want to cycle throu…

Law of disposable infrastructure: The more temporary a fix is intended to be, the more likely it is to become load-bearing permanent infrastructure

Before: "Hey Google, call my wife" ------> Immediately calls wife With Gemini: "Hey Google, call my wife" --50%-> "Is that XXXXXX?" --25%-> Immediately calls wife --20%-> "I'm sorr…

I really enjoy having almost 2 decades of my music listening history to play with + I use a couple different streaming services as well as vinyl and local playback, so it's nice to…

Really cool stuff, but I really don't understand the dynasties viz. For example, Kunti somehow has her sons to the left of, right of, and above her, making the relationship unclear…

My company-provided work phone is a base model iPhone, I'd definitely put it in a performance class lower than a flagship from any brand. Certainly not low-end, but I think mid-ran…

I'm a big Kate fan as well, used it for years on all my Linux systems. Recently I got a little fed up with vscode lagging on large files, I bit the bullet and installed Kate on my …

I'm also self hosting miniflux, along with Reactflux to get a nice webui. I use Read You on android, and then Reactflux in a browser anywhere else. I'll have to check out karakeep.…

Most users don't need any of the premium features, so the point may be moot, but it's worth mentioning that bitwarden increased their premium tier prices by 100% this year (10/y to…

I like the look of this, especially the idea of mixing the visual with the auditory. My guitar teacher perpetually has me on sight singing apps to try to develop my ear, but having…

Although I've been an Inoreader user over the last few years, this year I switched to Miniflux. I felt like features/cost ratio for Inoreader finally tipped away from what I was in…

Honestly I thought they might be even more expensive than this 5%-20%, it's good to see that it's not a 100% more expensive. While it seems we've learned some lessons about supply …

Nvidia is really the one hurdle preventing me from fully embracing firefox-- I've had a lot of trouble getting hardware acceleration on Wayland with Nvidia drivers. At this point, …

Magic Wormhole [1] also exists. [1] https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I did appreciate the discussion on the actual cost. I've been hearing a lot of that $5M number being thrown around, and while it definitely felt unlikely, I didn't have the context…

If this was the case, wouldn't the VPN work? Reddit OP said that it didn't. > Even VPN doesn't work. Because Microsoft has linked Minecraft to your Microsoft account and it's hardc…

One awkward thing is that Google's Gemini app is currently the third result searching Gemini on the Play Store-- after some bitcoin related applications. The namespace is occupied.…

I similarly got a whole data science MS (paid for my by employer) but still remain at my developer job. Sort of a combination of the data science field looking a lot less promising…

My father recently got one for a low-powered, always-on workstation that he can sync stuff to. It looks like these run the gamut of recent AMD cards, so I thought they looked promi…

I asked all of our friends to upload to a Google Photos shared album. Most of my friends use Android and most of my wife's friends use Apple-- didn't hear any complaints about Goog…

> Especially that productivity boost when every one starts leaving, and I _was not able_ to finished the smallest one of my tasks planned for the day 'til then most of the time. Th…

Agreed. I think this looks like a lot of fun and could make reading during long flights a lot more comfortable, but $350 on a pre-order is a little steep for me. I can't imagine ge…

More along the lines of what I was expecting to see here.

I wouldn't be shocked. JerryRigEverything shattered the back glass on the larger model with almost no effort https://youtu.be/IS0SItAzEXg?t=432

I've very happily left a Mac touchpad. Not once but twice. While the gesture support in the OS is nice, I don't like how big the touchpads are. I feel like it regularly gets in the…
