It’s the lead that makes it slightly sweet.

“I will if you take a dementia test…”

I’ve been using it on Ubuntu 22.04 for almost 2 years. It started off rocky, with frequent restarts needed, maybe every week or two. It’s been pretty solid, though I did give up on using it for screen sharing and captures, which is unfortunate timing in today’s WFH world.

Ok. On the treadmill, at the gym.

I’m torn. Do not support building a wall with Mexico. Would support building a wall with Texas.

I’ve watched it on YouTube, it’s pretty good. It starts “this is an impersonation of George Carlin”. Wonder if a court ruling would prevent human impersonation.

Because it’s too hard to crumple a sheet of paper into a cube.

Last weekend I used https://github.com/linsomniac/spotify_to_ytmusic to copy my Spotify playlists over to YouTube Music, and the shuffle play is SOOO much nicer there! That was my primary gripe with Spotify, the shuffle play is idiotic

Trump on the stand, being fined for talking about the clerk: I wasn’t talking about the clerk, I was talking about Michael Cohen. … Gag order gets lifted. So anyway, what I was saying about the clerk…

Another way of looking at it: Lemmy is retaining the engagement of the vast majority of new users who have joined recently.

Is he poor? Maybe. The question is why is he poor? He just sold Mar-a-lago to a company owned by Don Jr., alledgedly for something over $400 million.

He might be poor because he’s hiding all his assets on offshore banks. If so, then the question becomes: why is he doing that?

I had been programming C for almost a decade at that time, and was tired of working so low level. I hoped Java would get me higher level, but it didn’t work out. Eventually ended up on Python, which was fairly light weight, fast enough, but a joy to program (unlike java).

The wonderful ditto machine! Loved the smell of those copies!

Your parents weren’t worried about the math co-processor doing all your homework for you? That was the GPT-387? :-)

I figured it was board.

2023, the year July never ended?

I’m a fairly slow reader. I figure I’ve got something like a mild dyslexia, if I read too fast the words get all jumbled up in my head. Never was diagnosed with anything when I was in school, though looking back at it now it seems odd the way I was shadow-banned from the speed reading class in High School.

So, anyway, I’m all about getting some summaries. Yes, I realize it’s really hard for writers to condense things, and sometimes the journey of a story lifts the point. So, I’m gonna use the tools to help me out.

You young fellas sit back, I’mma tell you about the time in '96 that I bought a 1GB hard drive for a thousand doll-hairs. And then later that year got 64MB of RAM for another thousand doll-hairs, and the next month the price dropped in half. I could run two java programs AT THE SAME TIME!

Sure, I have no love of Meta either, which is why I would love for people to have an easy escape hatch via the Fediverse…

You probably aren’t wrong about it being overly idealistic and optimistic. :-(
