My recommendation: be a girl that shits.

Even worse when this happens in the middle of a work meeting.

This is why I have fidget toys on my work desk, to keep me focused on the boring shit someone is rambling about in a Teams meeting.

Reminds me if when a curtain railing in my house was coming off the wall and my mom was adamant that I should use Blue Tac to hold it to the wall till I could make time to f fix the screw anchors and attach it back properly.

Holding your data hostage

Businesses love using mini-PCs. I’m keeping a lookout for expanding my server and a TV connected device for emulation, game streaming, etc.

I take it as them saying: give those interested the tools and ability to mess with deeper systems and customisation and ability to break things. That doesnt have to change the experience for everyone else.

A murder of Cheryls

You’ve come to the wrong place. Grindr is looking for your skill set.

I have photographic memory too. But everything has huge lens distortion, is out of focus, has overlay filters and is significantly photoshopped.

Anything in this genre. Brotato and Deep Rock Galactic Survivor are great.

OK. Let’s have it then. I’m always looking for recommendations.

I’ve heard this in a podcast and the same principle applies at work:

Most books should have been short essays, most essays should have been pamphlets, most pamphlets should have been blog posts, most blog posts should have been tweets, most tweets shouldn’t exist.

Shout out to how much I miss Stumble Upon from the earlier days of the internet.

This sounds ideal. Anything more specific suggesting unwanted attraction is just going to amplify the awkwardness.

This is an excellent site for understandable info:

POTS

Chronic fatigue syndrome

I hear the newer versions now like it in the receipt hole.

Also: who needs AI…a text prompt leading to the creation of a new image. You’ve seen it here folks.

Switch games emulated on the Retroid Pocket 5 have been amazing. A pocketable console with full Switch 1 games and an amazing screen. It’s been such a good purchase.

Its difficult. Society and community are so fragmented now. People don’t want to ask for help. People don’t want to give unsolicited help.

I’ve got skills and support I can offer. I’m not even asking others for anything. People don’t even want to take the offer to give unconditionally. I’ll give you a lift…they don’t want it. I can help fix things in your house …they don’t want it. Feel free to borrow my tools…they don’t want it. I can look after your kids for a few hours and give you a break, my kids would love to play with them at our house…they understandably feel anxious about that. No problem, come over yourself with your kids on the weekend, we’ll make you lunch, get to know us…they don’t want it. You’re starting in the same career field that I’ve progressed in, I’ve got resources that will help…they don’t want it. I’ll share my Jellyfin server…they don’t want it.

I don’t get it. I just want to connect with people and help them…they don’t want it.

AI has been absolutely great for a bunch of things for me.

Breaking free from exploitative companies has been so great for me and I wouldn’t have been able to do it at all without AI. I wouldn’t have been able to switch to Linux or get through the troubleshooting and problem solving without it. I wouldn’t be able to set up my home server or my self hosted services without AI. AI regularly helps me find how to put a formula into an excel file, or write an initial draft outline of some tedious writeup. AI helps give suggestions for travel itinerary or possible shopping choices to start researching a purchase.

AI is perfect as an assistant in scenarios where I do not care at all of it is completely wrong. I wouldn’t havr been able to do some of these things that have been so important to me. I’ve also been able to get my parents to find help themselves for simple tech problems.

My problem with AI is all the other shit around it. Unethical training. Replacing people’s jobs. Unsustainable deployment with the power and water use. It’s impossible to find human generated reviews online. I wouldn’t mind at all of AI disappeared completely tomorrow. But I’ve been able to get a lot of good use out of it.
