Godamnit! At that time, we were visiting family stateside. It was like the window let in a chill, like a rug pulled out from under you, it was tangible that something in the very fabric of the USA had changed.

I remember telling my grandpa, who fled soviet Bulgaria in WWII, that if this goes on, they can make anyone their enemy. 9/11 turned the hate siphon on full blast, and I was certain they would turn on their own.

So happy he didn’t live to see what the Republicans became.

Probably not as high on drugs as Musk either.

I didn’t ask for anything and all I got was a 12" i3 with 8gb of RAM.

As a enterprise architect I understand that I spend most of my time in Teams, outlook, PowerPoint and excel (damn, it hurts reading that) but I also often have to work on, you know, enterprise sized diagrams.

I’m sure Europe would survive a few months of Musk, but I’m not so sure about America.

This. A weak USA, preoccupied with infighting, can only help them.

Was surprised (and very happy) that that photo is now on Musk’s Wikipedia entry.

Yeah, how about they just call him king, or Supreme Leader?

The rule of law has eroded. You have a convicted felon in office who has brushed away an impeachment and is in control of all branches of government. So what is next now?

Not an American, but my guess is that they would have to sue and then discover that the judges are all toeing the party line.

I wouldn’t call it gaslighting or even hallucination, but just getting things mixed up. I described Bart Simpson and asked if it could tell me which character from which show I meant. There is a Gomer Pyle who appears in several episodes of the Simpsons and does have pointy hair. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t wear a helmet and bandana. But Gomer Pyle is also a figure in the Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle USMC, which aired in the 60s.

I know it’s not DeepSeek, but this is what I got out of the Reasoner V1 model in GPT4All (“Based on Qwen2.5-Coder 7B”). Use local models with care!

So happy RN that I installed CalyxOS on my daughters phone. Um… but that means it might explode in her hands?

Bingo!

PSA: Vaultwarden is easy to self host.

Um… I thought the loudest component of modern cars are the tires, not the motor?

Just imagine if we take her by her word and really strengthen our economical relationship with Africa. That is a huge market with huge possibilities. Africa could easily replace China as a manufacturing powerhouse. If we could somehow shake off the colonial baggage and work together, America could go packing!

This is all so unbelievably small-minded and petty.

Isn’t this collective punishment?

After comparing the sound quality of Amazon, Spotify, Deezer and Tidal, the dynamic range of Tidal really stood out - even in lowest quality. At that time, I read that Tidal had the highest payout to the artists. I also like that the service is partially owned by several artists.

The recommendations and feeds are really top notch, just the right mix of stuff I know and like and nice surprises. The “Daily Discovery” often explores a certain genre or mood. There are so many cool bands I’ve found - also from genres I don’t usually listen to. I can wholeheartedly recommend the service.
