What’s the weed app?

I’ve subscribed to a lot of block lists and aggressively block most stuff by default, and I just confirmed that mtalk.google.com is in my manual whitelist as well. (Could have been for Google Voice or something else)

Unfortunately I didn’t do a good job documenting my whitelist, but I have both *.firebase.googleapis.com and *.firebaseinstallations.googleapis.com in there, which I believe I needed to get Google Voice notifications to work.

What’s reddit?

I’ve been running NixOS on a T430 from 2012 as my daily driver for over a year now and it’s been the most fun I’ve had with a computer in a long time. The first couple weeks was a hell of a learning curve (because of Nix) but so worth it!

I’m interested in the people that make the stuff I consume. When I read something or enjoy a piece of art, much of the enjoyment is imagining why the artist made the decisions they did. If it was made by AI, the answer is much less interesting.

Honestly, I’m not sure how I could tell it was AI. I’ve seen a lot of AI slop so I just got a sense that it was AI from looking at her face. It’s got this uncanny, hyperrealistic quality to it.

But I can prove it’s AI much more easily. Upon closer inspection, the bottom right corner has the Google Gemini ✨ logo, plus the nonsensical text, “Grand partner of your joonney”

He’s a fiddler, not a diddler

Were you incapable of making memes before AI? Is GIMP that hard?

Power use is not always bad. Power waste is. 4GB I’m not going to use is much worse than 6GB I will use.

Hopefully this doesn’t make it to VSCodium (which is supposed to have all the Copilot stuff stripped out anyway)

At first I thought this was [email protected]

All they wanna do is east your brains. They’re not unreasonable; I mean no one’s gonna eat your eyes.

I’ve never written any Visual Basic (A or otherwise) but I was under the impression that VBA was just for extending functionality of existing Microsoft Office applications, no?

Which of these are you interested in using?

What do you use for notes and how do you connect it to Linkwarden? Many years ago I used Pocket (formerly known as Read It Later) and I eventually realized I was saving stuff and never going back to it.

I recently started saving stuff in HelixNotes because I figured the problem was saving things without context. (And putting them directly in my notes ensures there’s always context around them)

I haven’t tried Linkwarden but it sounds awesome. I just don’t wanna run into the same issue I had with hoarding links like I did with Pocket.

Why do you use a VPN? I only use one when torrenting. Basically all my traffic is over HTTPS, and my DNS is encrypted via NextDNS so I don’t think I need one usually
