Hah, yes that’s also how I remember my childhood. But I never was good at it, though I became a good software project manager instead which works well for me using Claude now. I count that as a win.

Hey friend, don’t undersell yourself. You do possess the intelligence, but maybe just not the skills.

They don’t think so, or they don’t care.

Because we’ve had enough? Because we’ve learned our lesson?

Or maybe we haven’t?

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT AMERICA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.

Sorry, I could not resist. How ironic that the original American movie quote said Europe (okay, the moon Europa) and now it’s basically reversed. (Kubrick, Space Odyssey 2001)

I’m a monster.

Police should be arresting them, not helping them. “Protect and serve”, hah what a lie, just like everything else.

Sonobus

What a clever name!

Yeah but we pay way less for housing and health.

You se knowledgeable on this, so I hope you’ll allow me to ask this.

I don’t know anything about Discord, but I selfhost the Mattermost chat system for my family. They, too, are narrowing the free tier.

Can Matrix replace Mattermost for a family? Several separate “rooms” for various topics, plus 1-to-1 chats.

Proper/healthy cooking. Sports.

It is selfhosting when YOU set it up and CONTROL it.

Doesn’t matter what machine it runs on. Not everyone has the option of running a machine at home.

This release also brings you […] a new font face (“The-name-must-not-be-named” Sans) that improves reading legibility, especially for numbers and smaller text

What’s the story about that font name? I’m out of the loop.

Maybe you have too many pancakes? Let me take care of some of those for you ❤️

I see myself as a project manager and executive producer. I know I don’t write that code, and I couldn’t even if I tried.

But I am skilled at directing and verifying, and this has allowed me to create (not code) a fairly complex WordPress plugin for course bookings with online card payment processing etc.

I have made a few manual tweaks here and there but that code is 98% Claude. And you know what? It works. That is good enough for me.

Oh man, you just got my hopes up long enough for me to finish reading that sentence. Sad sigh.

You are ice cold metal, my friend 🤘

Unpopular opinion: LCARS is utter garbage UI.

Sure it looks cool in the TV series, and its brand recognition is spectacular. But actually using it? Horrible.

There was one! Look up Forrest Fenn - the podcast Cautionary Tales has a double feature about it (S6E44-45). True riddles, and treasure hunts, and some deaths despite no traps being set.
