I miss grooveshark. Exposed me to an absolute ton of new music, and still has what I feel was the best mobile UX. The "play now, play next, play later" buttons were genius

Not even for government. Many of these models aren't available on fedramp available providers, like bedrock. Instead they're stuck months ago. Iirc bedrock just got sonnet 5

Every tor SF book I've ever read had that. Neat little bit of history

I love iosevka, but really wish they'd ship a variable font version of it. The argument against it was that variable fonts didn't support as many different parameters as they needed, but that argument fell flat for me. They could still ship variable versions of the fonts with the settings variables don't cover the way they do now

What's even more amazing/sad is that Matroska containers support much of it, but no one has implemented a player that has all of them

I second this. But I used to use SyncThing for sync. Now I use Bookorbit and the Koreader plug-in for sync

It beats the pants off kindle

Koreader has a number of plugins for Bluetooth support on various devices, and you can buy cheap "tiktok remotes" for a few bucks that work with them

I got a "tiktok ring" that I use to read in bed, and it's fantastic

I don't know why they refuse to make a new oasis like kindle. Horizontal and square is extremely comfortable to read on

The abandonment of Oasis, coupled with their DRM goofs, led me to a Boox Go, with Koreader, and Ive never been happier

They tried that with buzz. It flopped even harder

So make it so all clients pretend to be livenerf at first. Same as the ol' pretending to be Google UA for free articles

I still host dinner parties. I even had one last night! But this article does touch on many things

I like hosting. People like attending. But they never do. I'll host several a year, and there are constantly people who say they'll come, and then never do

I'm not at the point no longer inviting people, but I've thought about it before

Claude has yet to tell me about the terrible pain in all the diodes down his left side, so I'm going to assume it's closer to Eddy the shipboard computer or the elevator that wanted to go down

They've had ads for years. Try not upgrading to Tahoe and you'll get a popup every week advertising their new os

Mimo has long been one of my preferred models. It works well at many code tasks, generally has a pleasant voice, and isn't prone to over-analzing and researching

Also when I was using it, I managed to do quite a bit on a few bucks worth of OpenRouter credits. Not sure how well it keeps up in the modern world against things like Luna, but I hope it remains competitive
