I went to a couple social dances hosted by a local ballroom dance club. I like pretending I’m someone else, someone cool, since I don’t know anyone there.

Network Time Protocol? Cool, didn’t know that!

Wow, that’s really impressive! And they’re not being paid by Apple either…

I thought there would be lots of Linux distros designed for SoCs since they’re somewhat common for laptops.

Huh, I thought it was ARM enough to work with existing other distros, but I guess not. I learned something new today, thanks!

Congrats. May I ask why you choose to go Fedora rather than another Debian derivative?

This made me laugh. I’m sorry for your loss.

It would be great if it could become a virtually universal social media eventually, but for its quirks to be understood by everyone, some critical mass of first adopters must understand the fediverse. So I think the fediverse will self-select for technically knowledgeable people at first before eventually becoming accessible to the public, not by any fault of its own but by virtue of having been around long enough and grown enough of a community to attract the average person from traditional social media.

I also think there are different instances and communities for people with different priorities. People interested in the ideas behind the fediverse can congregate on lemmy.ml (because that’s where Lemmy’s developers are, right?) and in FLOSS communities, etc., while people looking for a social network that won’t use them for profit can flock to region-specific instances, etc.

Oh no!!! Took a second read.

Does it pull data in like Mint did, or do you have to put it in manually? That’s the most important thing to me.

Yeah, this would be great.

Is it the one on the Google Play Store by Dapper App Developer? I couldn’t find anything on F-Droid :(

I think there are good free online courses, like Harvard’s CS 50 course. I’ve also heard of OpenCourseWare. I haven’t used either of them personally, though.

Now I’m imagining a coming-of-age magical realism movie starring a child who discovers that a mysterious ancient phone, the last heirloom of their deceased grandparent, can only be unlocked by their fingerprint at their particular age.

[W]ould anyone have spent this much time and effort writing about how much they hated Unix if they didn’t secretly love it? I’ll leave that to the readers to judge, but in the end, it really doesn’t matter: If this book doesn’t kill Unix, nothing will.

I like the foreword so far.

It wouldn’t be pulling up the ladder behind them if we force them to step down that ladder and burn it by retraining their models from scratch “with databases that don’t infringe on intellectual property rights”.

Yeah, I’ve deleted it now in favor of AntennaPod, but I’ve also stopped listening to podcasts (no particular reason), so I haven’t actually used AntennaPod much.

The Bright Sessions is a podcast, not a show, but it was super interesting, told from a fictional therapist’s point of view. The therapist helps people with superhuman abilities/curses (and depression, anxiety, etc.) learn how to manage their atypical lives. There’s more drama and time travel too but I forgot.

I listened on Google Podcasts.

I love the implication that, if they ate the chips, then they are not alive to be at work.
