I spotted a… Very different version that gave me a chuckle. I think this was in PA, near the border of MD, but I’d need to double check.

Kind of the point, I’m sure.
This is just the next gen of IBM and the Holocaust, unfolding for us all in real-time.


Nah, fuck Chuck. He was a hateful piece of shit, and the world is better off without him in it.
I mean… it still might be cleaner than outside. Which says more about everything else in the world right now than anything else.
Considering the air quality for many right now, probably better off in your car than outside, as long as it has a cabin filter.


Works with any openai compatible endpoint, I use local ollama on an m2 mac mini (I still need to move things over to llama.cpp fully on there). It can also do audio transcriptions for a video, though I only use it for images (usually a screenshot of something my wife got sent by a friend that came from instagram or whatever).


Meta in the context of a post is an “about the community” post. They are using the word “meta”, not the terrible company “Meta”.


While I’m glad this community is more welcoming now, we should avoid threads targeting individuals and focus on the positives going forward.
So I’d appreciate it if you deleted this thread, and if you instead wanted to post one about feeling more welcome now, that would be great!
Edit: and for the record, they weren’t removed. After criticism about the situation they made me a mod and left.


They were the moderator of this community, so that wouldn’t really help.


I mostly use it to track (and tweak) recipes that are safe for me with my food allergies, and from that perspective its great. Despite having all kinds of options to OCR recipes, import them, whatever, my wife just… hasn’t bothered.
So I haven’t really used the meal planner yet, I need to get her using it more often :)


Debian for the overwhelming majority of everything. With KDE, I don’t do gnome.
My thinkpads both run arch, you may want to look at endeavouros for a simple approach to arch.


Well… Thats saved for later.


I bought the sidewinder joystick because of it!
I should play games that use a joystick again. Or, you know, games in general.


We were at the playground and one of the other parents asked me about my bike because my wife told her how much I liked bikes.
He said he’d need to ask me some questions because of a problem, I told him it was easy and described it and said I could bring my tools by (the playground is like two blocks from me, his house is like 4), and he got excited and asked if I knew what sizes he needed and that he would do it.
He just kind of got into it after fixing his son’s bike, bought a set of on the go tools to take with him when they all went for a ride, and he just… Kept going with it lol
So if I’m there doing my thing and another kid needs help he gets his tools out and helps too.
This community has always been really friendly, and I think things like the portable bike repair just adds onto it! I’m hoping to see more stuff like this happen, though I’m not sure what just yet.
We did see a few little libraries put in around town at the parks recently, and I’ve been chatting with others about natural lawns, so we’ll see where it goes next!


Its fun! And I show the kids and parents what I’m doing, which tools I need to do it, etc. Its mostly simple stuff too, like adjusting tension on a brake, set screw for the limit on the derailleur, or patching a tube and pointing out to not forget to check the tire before you put the tube back in. More annoying tubes (or if I’m out of patches) I pop into a small bin to patch later, I have a couple spares for 20" (kid size), including the ones I patched up since the last time.
I also really like that everyone kind of learns that these tubes are for everyone, you won’t necessarily get the same one back, and it really doesn’t matter because you’ve still got a working tire again. Good for the kids to learn that it doesn’t matter, and honestly good for some of the parents to learn that too.
Since I started doing it another dad has been learning too, and started doing the same thing. Though anything he’s not sure about he tells them to ask me.
Plus a really good way to meet a lot of the people in the area, I like doing it


Let’s see…
Nothing else I can think of off the top of my head


Yeah I’m not debating that there is fear mongering about this at all, just - as you noted - this is not about protecting users. Thats a farce.
This is about Google trying to close up their ecosystem, device first. That is the issue I take with this whole situation, its a clear step in that direction being marketed as something it decidedly is not.
And I think Android users should recognize what it actually is, and try to find a different option than Apple or Google going forward.


Good! I hope alternative mobile operating systems get traction out of this!
We’ll see. The plan for now is a tcl flip with hotspot and a clamshell linux box in my pocket.
And again, there is no verification need anymore!
Please read the very first sentence in that slide. Then read through those steps again (and look at the steps inside of those steps).
Yes, there is a need still, or there are a series of annoying, anti-consumer steps involved, in an effort to have a walled garden.
Android and Google are not worth supporting over this. Again, not dealing with the play store first and thoroughly tells me this has nothing to do with security. If it did, they wouldn’t be going this route.


Visible here - thanks!
Broad-market funds like the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) and the iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT) include SpaceX.
SpaceX was added to the Nasdaq-100, meaning funds that track it, such as the Invesco QQQ ETF, hold the stock.
Benchmarks like the Russell 1000 also hold SpaceX, automatically populating funds like the iShares Russell 1000 ETF (IWB)
