The design on this watchface is great, I've found myself going in the same direction but with a super dense more excel like custom watchface. Even "very busy" showcase while visually extreme is still legible and interesting.

It's been nice to have a small piece of technology that's designed to be this modifiable.

What are some alternatives? I've been tinkering with langgraph as of late and frankly the whole space is so polluted with SEO and vibe-coded systems the old "classics" were the safe bet for me.

As a US citizen I can only hope that this kickstarts alternatives and paid for options in the spaces big (ad)tech dominates here. These bloated monopolies with short lived products or soon to be acquired competitors are getting old. (And these constant layoffs and shareholder/promo driven development to a smaller degree)

“Death Machine” was from the perspective occupants of other vehicles and pedestrians. Pretty stupid spin on pretty big box that’s clearly safe for passengers.

Not that I’ve seen or heard of but my assumption is that it is mainly due to the relative rarity of partial/vgpu offerings outside of organizations. (Other than Blender render farming and some smaller upstart p2p gpu time reselling.)

I’d say Intel’s 12th gen igpu has “best supported” consumer vGpu offerings available and it’s through sr-ion I believe as well. I’ve had it on the back burner on my homelab until a recent performant gui need had come up.

I'd be curios to try vGpu with Qubes. It's definitely a security issue and has been left behind on newer NV consumer hardware but would be neat for low-risk qubes. I do have to admit that the performance is still great w/o hardware acceleration.

I forget how many PE sessions I had with cup stacking but it’s definitely ingrained somewhere in my head. If anything I thought at the time it was for hand-eye coordination without having a ball flying at you and it was surprisingly easy to pick up with those competition cups.

Nowadays it makes for a fun free for all drinking game as everyone fumbles stuck together red cups.

Does anyone have the time to care anymore? I searched for "time" in the comments and found a few unrelated hits.

Good enough is going to be the output when nobody has the time or people's time isn't valued.

What's the implication? That we as a society and/or government have a more just consciousness?

There are certainly are issues in China but are these "popular headline" talking points worse than the suffering we have here? And that's even after assuming they are factual.

We sell prison labor for pennies. We allow individuals to create epidemics and slap them on the wrist. We allow the future of our next generations to be squandered for today's profits. We allow our government to be just as captive to the desires of private parties in a way that's effectually reduced elections to a non-choice.

I don't think anyone with a conscious can say we're any better and that's without taking into account our worst contributions of genocides/wars/instability to the global community.

But in the end w/e, you have your freedom tinted glasses on (it must be nice) and the average american is screwed on our current trajectory.

The most disheartening part of this ban is that it’s just about the only thing the government can agree on. IMO Mitt Romney slipped the truth in saying: “Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians, relative to other social media sites — it's overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts."

TikTok is the first and just about the only place I’ve seen content about corporate greed, the accelerating disappearance of the middle class and the real downstream effects of US foreign policy that hasn’t been whitewashed.

The ball is in China’s court now, if they can provide a space where this class consciousness can continue to grow they’ll easily get equal/better (though I think magnitudes greater) returns than Russia’s recent social campaigns.

It wasn’t that bad creating some new derivations my first week with Nixos, I was so used to Arch where I had maybe a handful modified pkgbuilds over a decade.

For better or worse it was a positive experience, especially when you usually already have a pkgbuild to go off of.

The key terms don’t change so I usually just grep Nixpkgs in nvim and usually have a lead on where to start. Obviously it’s a bit more work than copy/paste from the arch wiki but generally more popular config changes will have an nixos option available.

Nice to see they’ve made some great progress on the application side, had seen the firmware component years ago. I simply just reach under my cabinet and press the start button on my 1st gen Xiaomi vacuum but looks like it’s time to flash it. It’s crazy to see how xiaomi got it right with lidar from the beginning. I’ve looked for upgrades over the years and the cost effective variants have all been incremental upgrades in firmware and performance or just straight downgrades with things like mopping.

If anyone is interested in these things mine has been great for 5 years now and would recommend a lidar based one at a minimum. Got a Wyze for my now wife on sale for $75 (a steal) 1-2 years ago and it’s a cost reduced update of mine but performs just as well as mine and I think may use US servers (being a US company?)
