Is it possible to have both? I’m finding zram works well until it doesn’t.

Ironically this will probably be used to train AI.

I’m on Bazzite after giving the other ublue flavours a try. It took a couple of weeks to get comfortable with the new philosophy, but now I can’t see myself going back. What felt like limitations at first, now feels like good habits. All my dev work is done in containers, so it just makes sense.

Netflix is the only one I have left now, and that’s only because I share the account with multiple people, so it’s more like 1/4 of a subscription. If I cancelled they would end up with more subscribers.

I’ve done fact checking on LLM models for work before, and it quickly becomes evident that many models rely on Wikipedia as a heavily weighted source of truth.

If LLMs have even a small role in producing Wikipedia content, the ouroborus of declining quality will accelerate.

Bluefin or Bazzite are very streamlined and easy to set up, with all the batteries included. The little you need to learn is more than offset by the convenience.

My god, that’s a lot to process. A couple that stand out:

Comments proposing to use github as the database backup. This is Keyword Architecture, and these people deserve everything they get.

The Replit model can also send out communications? It’s just a matter of time before some senior exec dies on the job but nobody notices because their personal LLM keeps emailing reports that nobody reads.

Lots of technology has reached a good-enough plateau, so I think we’ll start to see some left-field ideas. I’m just going to say realistic robot pets.

I suspect Corporate Memphis is partly successful because it works with ambiguous skin colours, so it automatically ticks diversity boxes without the artist having to think too hard about representation.

My prediction is that the successor will double down on that. I hope it’s cartoony style anthropomorphic animals.

It’s the shape of things, too. They have no character.

I was shopping for door knobs recently, because all the knobs in this house are spherical and smooth. They’re impossible to grip. We have a disabled person in the house who struggles to turn them. Gloves slip right off.

At the hardware store is an entire aisle full of doorknobs, but nearly all of them are the exact same smooth spherical shape. The rest were ugly rectangular lever styles that work but look very industrial in a home that’s mostly natural textures.

Somehow all these brands, finishes, locking features, price ranges, dozens of product variations, and literally only two doorknob shapes. Both so minimalist as to be almost impractical.

I had to settle for the lever style for one door, and just put grip tape on the others.

I’m on the cusp of X and millennial, so I’ve been around plenty of both.

Some X’s have done well for themselves, but those without a bit of luck and assistance have mostly had to give up on big dreams of housing security and family.

Millennials have had it tougher, but many of them still got there, with a bit more luck and assistance.

It’s been a long decline, with the concentration of capital making it harder for most of us every year. The generational divide is just another distraction from class warfare.

Bazzite is made for gaming, so it’s a safe choice in that regard.

They recently released a DX (developer experience) spin, which I’ve been running lately. That feels very similar to the other atomic Fedora developer spins, so it has a lot of creative software working well. I’ve used GIMP, Inkscape, Darktable etc. on it, and there’s even some nice automation to install/update DaVinci Resolve.

They’re also working on a GDX (game developer experience) spin, which should be even better. You might want to check that out when it’s ready.

That’s awful, but I want to believe it gave you extra willpower to recover, just to prove him wrong.

Well shit, I just found an approval email from exactly two years ago… and that’s not even my oldest account.

The main limitation I always had with Strava was limited activities. I know there are off road onewheelers who log their routes as ice skating, for example.

It would also be nice to save points of interest that aren’t linear routes. E.g. nice vantage points, businesses that accommodate group rides, public water/toilets/power.

I haven’t encountered Brendan yet, but I look forward to yet another reality-bleed.

I just got into Cyberpunk 2077, and too many parts of it are leaking into the real world. This could be a Delamain interaction.

I will never understand why people with power are this petty.

They probably think it’s a huge flex, but it makes them look like the most pants-shittingly immature little cry babies.

Real power is not devoting brain cycles to things that should be beneath you.

Stopping timers has always been like that for me.

Through trial and error I found the most successful command is “ok google shut the fuck up”.

Just like Android loses features on every major version, and Maps is a skeleton of its former self.

In a company where nobody is incentivised to maintain anything, cutting features is the easier option.
