it believes that to “categorically condemn the use of AI writing tools” is both “ableist and classist”. (The implication that working-class people and people with disabilities can only write fiction with the help of generative AI, however, is apparently A-OK.)

nothing about their initial statement implies that the poor and disabled need to or can only use AI. This sort of bad faith discourse irritates me. It’s a deliberate attempt to discredit those espousing an opposing opinion. It’s manipulative and intellectually dishonest.

Really, you already use gimp, but not linux?

Duckduckgo has a no javascript mode.

Thats actually not a terrible idea.

If anything, their tech hours got reduced.

Damn, I wanted to mention sqlite.

I find it easier using my pinky to hit ctrl than taking my fingers off the home row to use the arrow keys.

ctrl-b: move cursor back one character

ctrl-f: move cursor foward one character

ctrl-d: delete character under cursor

what do you mean by the Fuck you pay me thing?

How do I trouble shoot a broken tray icon in swaybar?

Oof, that paywall. Right in the balls.

I may actually have a hope of remembering how to access elements of an array in bash now!

What is och?

The benefit is you don’t have to use windows. Obviously, it’s not a trade off that’s going to satisfy everybody.

Its pretty cool he mentioned the work of doug engelbert. I recently finished a book called ‘what the dormouse said: how the 60s counterculture shaped the personal computer.’ Kay’s comment makes me feel that was not just a bit of trivia, but a glimpse into the potential of computing that is tsill yet to be realized.

I just want you to know you weren’t screaming into the void. Look at my new main.py:

from pathlib import PurePath


from Layout import Layout


DEFAULT_FOLDER = PurePath("/home", "mike", "bg")
WATERMARK_DIR = Path(Path(os.getcwd()).parent, "assets", "img")


def main() -> Layout:
    return Layout()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

(I know I still need to change those folder defaults, but I am still riding the high of getting all that layout stuff into Layout.py and it working. I spent a couple hours today struggling, wondering why I was just getting a blank screen, when i realized i forgot to call .grid() on the frame that held all the widgets! So it was just rendering a blank window. )

Plus crypto is volatile and you’d have to manage it a lot more to keep it pegged at “expensive enough”

this is a solved problem. Just change the crypto cost according to its exchange value. I pay for my vpn and my vps with crypto.

I think it’s safe to say guns are an offensive weapon

That really pisses me off.
