Friends, I haven't read the Chuck Schumer "report" on AI. Why should I? I knew where it was headed by seeing who they invited (and when they tried to invite me as a back fill/window dressing) & the fact that he asked people what their "p(doom)" was shudder. My whole life is not centered around commenting on what all these ridiculous people are doing. For that, I've written a very detailed paper with Emile P. Torres that you can refer to. Find it and other resources at https://dair-institute.org/tescreal/.

I was just writing about how excited I am to explore the city like a tourist this week. As I hit “publish" on the post I was reminded of the other reason I'm always so excited to leave the house anymore... the constuction.

My watch says it is 104 dB in my office as I type this.

Oye.

It should be criminal that Apple devices still require a full profile for encrypted DNS in 2024.

I registered for @pluralistic 's book signing in Chicago on 17 Apr. It's pretty cool being in a city where I can do this. I have another signed hard cover of his last book but I had to do that one through the mail.

Of course I already bought the e-book for his latest so at least I'll be ready for it.

So, where's the best place to get/purchase @debian Linux stickers? I've had to send back my former company's laptop and need some new stickers for the newly purchased (new to me, anyway) ThinkPad. Like an idiot, I used up all of my Debian stickers on the work laptop that shipped back.

@chris - was just having this conversation a couple weeks ago with a friend. We hit a local art museum and then decided we really need to start touring other places in our town. There's a ton of cool shit we never get to see - and it's all so accessible!

I wonder how many developers complaining about Microsoft’s latest spyware have a dev stack comprised of GitHub/VSCode/Copilot/etc…

How is it only just now hitting 12:00? I swear it should be at least 5 or 6 pm already!

It's storming outside this morning. I find it rather peaceful for sleep but, so much for our morning walk.

Changing contexts entirely every 30 minutes, on average, during an average work day doesn't make for a great environment to get focus work done.

Anyone have a desktop #Mastodon client for #Linux that they love (or at least enjoy)?

I really do enjoy using Ivory for Mastodon but, of course, it isn't on Linux and I’m looking for something similar.
