I started switching over to plaintext files with Markdown a few years ago. It’s been great for interoperability. I don’t need to use a heavy program on my desktop or phone. I can view, edit, whatever I need as long as I have terminal access.

Can the Internet Archive claim that it’s developing it’s own AI and should have rights to scan everything and serve it to “customers?”

A certain alabaster fortress near me encourages you to use an AI when ordering at the drive thru. It’s terrible. It had the hardest time decoding my order of “a number one with cheese.” I hate that this is the direction the industry is moving.

Mine is running on a HP 600 G1 Micro Computer Mini Tower PC. Right now, less than $80 from Bezos. It’s over powered for Nextcloud alone, but I’ve also got other services running on it, including Jellyfin.

It zips along quite nicely, but I’ve also followed the guides for tuning the server for best performance.

The Guardians of Childhood series has a few chapters that are printed in “dark mode.”

They are slowly pulling out of the Android there too. They’ve deprecated the Amazon shopping app on the fire tablets. Now, selecting that app will open the stock browser to the Amazon homepage. Likewise, there used to be a Amazon Photos app that had decent storage and would sync photos across devices. Now, if you want to look at local photos, you use the gallery app. If you want to look at cloud photos, you use the website.

I don’t know if this is part of their switchover to Vega OS or if it’s just cost saving.

I have yet to find a low calorie sweetener that doesn’t bother my digestive system. My wife, who lives on diet Pepsi, doesn’t believe me.

When I started with Linux, I started with vim because the tutorials I was working off used vi and vim. Once I started with vim and learned the commands, I wasn’t going to switch to something else… there’s a joke somewhere in there about not knowing how to exit… but I’m not making it.

If I was going to write documentation now for a Linux newbie, I’d probably pick nano to start with.

Yeah. This is one of the breakaway groups from when the Episcopal Church started ordaining women in the 1970s. Fun fact: the “Anglican Catholic Church” was one of the names considered for the Episcopal Church when it was founded.

It’s interesting to see the contrast between his remarks and that of Bishop Budde.

I don’t hate this.

This was the last one I was waiting for!

His name was Luigi Mangione.

He’s the guy who killed Brain Tomphson.

Back in 2020, those of us who had been using the community document server were greeted with a notification stating that mobile editing was no longer supported and that we’d have to buy their commercial product.

Some folks quickly figured out a patch. Others, like myself, left with a bad taste in our mouths.

In the end, I can only speak for myself, but I chose LibreOffice and The Document Foundation for philosophical reasons.

May I recommend Summer of Blood: The Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 by Dan Jones?

Your best bet is to copy the link out of your email and paste it into your web browser of choice. That way you have the web page open outside of your Gmail. It is asinine but not specific to Gmail. Other email apps do it as well. I’m sorry for your frustrations. I hope you’re able to successful unclutter your inbox.
