Except with Matter, all of those other standards are buying into the universal standard.

Maybe they meant rubles. I think I may find that value in my couch.

I hate that that’s the case.

I’ve been trying to lose weight, so I chopped off my leg just below the knee. I’m several pounds down, and I didn’t have to stop eating even a calorie. It’s amazing.

The only issue is that now I don’t have a leg and exercise may be difficult….

Hahhaha. Totally missed that. I just assumed it was a joke.

Makes sense.

1. Create a massive rocket
2. Burn a massive amount of rocket fuel to get it into space
3. Surround the comet ice in enough artificially made heat resistant materials so it doesn’t burn up in the atmosphere
4. Use more rocket fuel to angle the giant ball of ice so it doesn’t burn up on re-entry
5. Burn some more fuel to slow down its descent once inside the atmosphere so it doesn’t crash into the earth, ending all life in the immediate area
6. Drop the ball of unsalted ice in the ocean

You can also use a custom UI. I recommend VueTorrent.

In fact, using this mod, you can even have Docker download it and keep it up to date. In qBittorrent you just need to change the WebUI location to /vuetorrent.

People are pointing out the juxtaposition of many people losing their jobs while one person spends silly amounts of money on toys. It’s not that he spent it on toys, it’s that he made so much that he was able to waste it on frivolity while others around him suffered.

You subscribe to memos that tell you what to think is cringe?

AirVPN allows a reserved port, so you don’t even have to change the setting in your client every time your port changes.

It’s been timing out for me over the last few days too

I have a second instance of Prowlarr running with this fork. The issue with ABB is that it blocks Prowlarr’s user agent. This fork changes the user agent and re-enables ABB.

That’s great, but the fact it’s local and private means it can consume my personal data and be a more personal LLM. This just doesn’t hit that mark.

Apple Maps was bad, yes. But they had their hand forced. Google started charging for their API (enough to cripple their app), and they had very little time to create one of their own.

That’s not happening here. No one is forcing their hand. If they didn’t release an updated Siri this year, nothing would happen.

Yes. Android already does all these things. But I think the things I’m excited most about are not on this list at all.

1. A private local LLM. With the on-device context of my notes, messages, calendar, etc, I’m rather excited to have a more personal LLM than ChatGPT.

2. Personal messaging via satellite. I love that I can stay in touch with people outside of a cell network.

It won’t happen like that. Leadership will just under-hire and expect all their developers to be way more efficient. Working will be really stressful with increased deadlines and people questioning why you couldn’t meet them.

Or that they can buy the plane ticket first, then apply for the grievance discount later…

Call centres exist because people can’t get the help they need by searching. Take away call centres, and you’re just making it more difficult for customers.

You’re not wrong. If I said anything that made it seem like those who get paid less are worse developers, that’s on me. But there are many who are amazing developers who can’t take a government job because the pay is too low. It seems odd to rule those people out. If we’re fighting for better pay for everyone, government jobs should set an example.

Right. This isn’t an issue with Microsoft, it’s an issue of getting a third party to do work when you have very different priorities. Microsoft’s priority is to make money, as all companies do. The governments priority is to have a safe and secure service. The two don’t match, so the government should have created and maintained a safe and secure service.

The biggest issue is that people don’t want the government to over-spend on anything, so they don’t want the government to pay tech people tech salaries. So even if they did just do it themselves, you can’t trust it’s done by the best people because it’s only done by those who are willing to work at 30% of the pay.

So the issue isn’t really with Microsoft, it’s with the government for not being aware of priorities, and not being willing to pay for what’s important.

It’s also easier to give them all the candy they can eat, than to deal with your kid constantly wanting candy. Doesn’t make it healthy.
