Text message reminders and automation.

Send the service number a text message like "call Dave in 2 hours"

and then in 2 hours you get a text back that says "call Dave"

There are free and offline options, like Llama.cpp, but you will have to pay by giving up your privacy to Meta (or similar large companies)

I set up HTMX for a toy project recently, seemed fine to me. I think the philosophy of HTMX is the real selling point, sending structured content instead of passing JSON around. There is an opportunity here to either improve HTMX or build a competitor.

The difference is self harm vs harming others. The distinction is that advertising may convince people who do not gamble to start gambling.

speech interfaces have gotten amazing in certain contexts, especially now that speech to text is decent. Think times when you can't call the person but need to send them a quick message, eg noisy festival or loud bar while you are moving and aren't able to stop to type.

I know that some people even use voice assistants to do things like set timers, reminders, or initiate calls

Perhaps it’s the movies fault for not being interactive or engaging enough

Just out of curiosity, what are some of the problems with "Clean Code"? I thought most of it made sense as basic guidelines. It's been a while since I read it though

Hey I do exactly this! Borg into rsync.i know it’s not exactly your domain, but are you guys working on making this flow easier? I found borg difficult to set up, and tbh I don’t really trust my setup long term. All the borg tutorials I found are on random people’s hobby blogs, it would be nice if you had one specific for rsync.net

Either way, Thank you for providing such an affordable service !

Agree, especially for conveying tone, eg, happy, frustration, danger, etc, especially in dialog.

There is an art to using them to enhance a message instead of obscuring it, though.
