Okay that's it, I NEED more RAM - I am hitting the limit of it including swap, by just having (too) many Firefox tabs open :blobcatlul:

Thanks my friends for all the well wishes!

Home from hospital after going in Friday morning in agony. Had my gall bladder out Sunday, and home now (Tuesday), so not too bad, but quite a bit of lingering pain. Much rest now needed! Recovery usually takes about 3 days for every one in the hospital! #health

Question: The process of layoffs always seems so rushed and chaotic. But, if you’re laid off from a dev or IT job, can you negotiate your severance package? Any tips? Is it possible?

Afternoon spent at the doc's office for my wife. She fell and hit her side. Nothing broken but boy is she sore! 4 meds to control the pain $$$ and she'll be fine in a few weeks.

#Movie night on the farm:
Drinking hot chocolate, nibbling on gingerbread goats and watching "Young Frankenstein"

Mel Brooks' best work in my own humble opinion, and what a great cast!

This is not a bad thing. AI NEEDS to be regulated heavily. Otherwise, we see AI apps like ‘Nudify’ that use AI to undress women in photos. Those apps are soaring in popularity and degrading women. Is that what American corporations want? It blows my mind as many on social media defend such apps as freedom of expression or Rule 34. What kind of society encourages such behavior? Aren’t you worried about your daughters and mothers becoming victims of such crimes? I can’t believe it.

COOL! The spicy article I wrote about satellite pollution is FINALLY published! "Bright satellites are disrupting astronomy research worldwide" in Nature News & Views.

This article required weeks of back-and-forth with the editor, the editor-in-chief, and Nature's lawyers, so I hope that means it's a good one.

During this process, I learned that satellite companies are so powerful and litigious that even giant publishers like Nature are terrified of getting sued. Which is...rather worrying.
