    I decided to get ahead of this and yesterday made the migration. Or rather I should say, asked GPT 5.5 to. I estimate that I have a fairly complex configuration, and I had some bum…

    I can relate to the tilting you're on, but try to consider the good that can come from this age, where such a tool might not have been built otherwise. It's also BSD/GPL license. A…

    Tried this out for a few days. Works surprisingly well. I've yet to make it past the third inning before I'm out. I've determined it must be fictional (maybe wrong?) given the just…

    The Dec 2019 bug also hit me (living in NYC). I wasn't mentally myself for three weeks. I'm not even sure I fully recuperated. It was intense, and worse than when I eventually did …
