“There’s a couple kinks in that slinky” 😭

Please do not forget that republicans have been actively disenfranchising voters and making it hard to vote. Not everyone who didn’t vote “sat out”; they were literally unable to vote.

How’s battery life?

I am also interested in an egpu but not for gaming, just for running local AI models. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Whiskey + black metal

Emacs

Yes. Monitoring GitHub for releases is great (especially if the project posts change logs). Also, if you are a developer and need to monitor library updates for any deps you app might have, many of those sites also have rss feeds. For example: https://libraries.io/

I’m at my laptop all day for work so I use it on my laptop, desktop, and phone so syncing is important. Since it support Google reader api, there are a ton of different clients for it too.

I’ve also set my wife up with her own account and it makes sharing articles and feeds with her easy.

I’m a big self hoster and already have an environment set up for it. I don’t know if it is worth setting up servers and vpns and security just for rss.

I use self hosted FreshRSS. I has:

• news straight from the section I care about in chronological order order
• new blog updates
• music review updates
• Bandcamp releases from artists/labels I follow
• open source software releases I follow
• YouTube updates from channels I follow.
• etc

It is by far the best way to get updates about just the things you care about.

I was at the airport and there was an NBA game on tv and on another tv were Disney characters playing basketball. It took me a while to realize it was the same game.

As a software developer (previously game developer) I was very impressed with how good the tracking was. Not just position, but complicated moves, dribbling the ball between their legs, facial animations, everything with less than a 10 second lag.

The Disney version was way more fun to watch.

I was using freshrss which can grab the rad feed for a channel, but I’ve moved to tube archivist with a Jellyfin plugin. Now they are all predownloaded and just show up on my tv via Jellyfin app.

It’s a way better way to keep track of what you want to watch.

Jokes on you. We never had Medicaid expansion in Alabama!

My in-laws are staying with us this week. Fortunately they both are reasonable and voted Kamala but I have heard nothing but Medicare advantage commercials every 5 minutes as they watch live tv (something we never do).

Medicare advantage is a huge scam that takes all your Medicare money and gives it to private insurance companies. It is shocking that we allow people to be bombarded with this day in and day out. It doesn’t surprise me this same group was bombarded with lies from the right for the past year. Lies that don’t match reality. And as those lies come to light, they will feel duped. But either it will be too late or they are too stubborn to admit it.

Have you considered your local library? A lot of them have an excellent dvd/blu-ray selection especially when it comes to documentaries.

I know it is a little more work but you also get a lot more control of how you rip it.

Also, in the US, many libraries give you free access to the Kanopy streaming service which has a lot of documentaries on it.

My wife and I were doing big renovations on our home and were dealing with lots of contractors. I would email them and include my wife’s email. Yet every contractor failed to press reply all when responding so my wife was constantly left out of the loop

It turns out people just don’t care to think about or understand basic technology.

This stuff really needs to be taught in school (like how we used to have typing and business communication classes)

Underground 1 (and burnout 3) both for ps2 are the racing games I always fall back to.

I really, really dislike open worlds, stories, pointless customization, and any sort of online play.

I want fast moving, hard to see, dodging traffic racing, with lots of crashing (or close calls).

Alabama… well we actually get to use a black bic pen. But we feed it into a scantron reader.

I am confused by people’s shopping habits. How often are you buying online and what is it?

Groceries and pharmacy are all local. Clothes are a local boutique (I don’t buy clothes more than one or twice a year and I like to try things on and buy quality items). Shoes are from a local redwing store that I’ve been wearing for over 8 years. Computer parts I do tend to buy online, but I’d never risk buying from Amazon. I typically buy from b&h, cdw, or directly from the manufacturer.
