"Read that list back. Pro-regulation on companies, live-and-let-live on private life. That combination is the lib-left quadrant, definitionally."

if this is the definition of "lib-left," i don't think we have too much to be worried about being "off center" with models.

thanks, me too. the one big disadvantage here, if you have to go into an office, is either having to own multiple or transporting your keyboard back and forth every day.

there was a period where i was doing standard + ortho Plank + an ErgoDox-like on three different machines and it's a bit of a mindfuck context switching between them. extremely inefficient.

great post. the only thing that was tying me to Windows at home was gaming. after Proton, that became irrelevant. (maybe it'd be different if I played competitive multiplayer games.)

curious, though--why hasn't your friend updated his Arch distro in 3 years? bleeding edge is one of the benefits vs other distros, IMHO

not to sound callous, but that's not good parenting.

my partner and i have reasonably good jobs, but we work 12-14hrs. we make mortgage and have some extra money. we are currently debating whether or not it is financially, morally, or ethically responsible to bring a child into this world and be able to provide them with the attention that they need and deserve.

good parenting, as always, remains the best solution

only time i ever have to deal with this anywhere (and i move physical sites a lot) is when using a commercial VPN provider. odd.

Thank you. Exactly this.

There were so many fundamental problems with the infrastructure even before the person gave a poor prompt to an agent.

If you're using the same API key for staging and prod--and just storing it somewhere randomly to forget about--you're setting yourself up for failure with or without AI.

Subtitle settings turn off between episodes

you can enable global subtitles in settings.

Let me sort by file size so I can watch the disk gobbling files first

you can kinda deduce that if you sort by bitrate.

it sounds like you figured out a solution for yourself, already, but there's a lot of existing utilities like tinyMediaManager, WebTools-NG, Raddarr, Sonarr, etc. for doing media management. Plex is just a media server/player.

they kindamostly cared when it was OS X. everything's been a bit of a mess since it became macOS while trying to make a unified platform for all their hardware

does this imply that you're just giving shitty blood to people that need life saving procedures?

Same. I built my first wheel according to his specs. His whole website is so helpful and thoughtfully written. RIP.
