    I used to use dangerously-skip-permissions until auto appeared and I gave it a try and honestly I don't know there's much of a difference? If auto had existed in the past I would n…

    I don't give a shit what you "accounted for", you're hot air with no teeth in the game passing yourself off as some sort of "expert" or knowledgeable about anything. I might as wel…

    Why does which college I attended have more bearing than the ones I have and do work at? I don't particularly care for your stupid irrelevant demand and I am refusing to engage it.…

    I don't know if they are doomed but https://isaiprofitable.com/ seems concerning about Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft.

    I only get anything useful when I force extremely strict standards and opinions so that it is impossible to deviate from what I want. That only really works in some languages and s…

    People say that and I used to agree, but honestly I use neither MS Office nor LibreOffice heavily anymore. Nowadays I can figure out what to do in MS Office very quickly but LibreO…

    I haven't had a chance to try Opus 5 yet but Fable currently refuses to do anything in my field (radiology image analysis). It didn't used to be that way but that has been the real…

    Yeah it's real rocket science at work here. Grocery bill keeps going up and less and lower quality food comes home. It's a real mystery.
