Saving the stock value of Open Ai and chip companies… Until they manage to compete again.

Unhealthy because there is no feeling of hope? I’m OK with that actually. Life is still alright. But I don’t think we actually can change anything important.

Yes, there are ebbs and flows. Sometimes bad people are in charge, sometimes good. And sure, sometimes some very charismatic person is also a good one, and manages to make things a bit better.

But the overall trend is not towards humanity being free of debt slavery, or wars, or greed and power.

Yeah ok, but… I really don’t think the billionaries in charge care if you vote with your little salaried forced job income… I think if you look at the perspective of having millions or billions, people’s actions don’t matter, like at all.

That site has no truth since people have to use their real names there.

Voting doesn’t work, they control the candidates. Money and power is what people like that want, and they get that in exchange for playing along.

We don’t have control of our world, we never did. Just distance yourself from the madness and embrace the good in the world. Focus on those things and it becomes your reality.

I’m quite old so I’ve done that before covid, very much.

I couldn’t focus anyway, always noise and people moving in my eye sight. Besides, it also feels super weird to sit next to people and not talk to them for hours.

So it’s not for me. I rather just not work so much on difficult stuff. Will just do easy stuff and talk to colleagues.

My company introduced 3 days per week in the office next week (from previous 1 day per week). So I’m pretty much going to accept I can’t work there and just be more social and talk a lot. Normally I work in a role where I do cloud architecture and devops, but that requires thinking and focus, and office is the worst place for that. So I guess my company doesn’t want me to work like that anymore. :)

Trying to not feel annoyed by it, and seeing it as more of a chance to work less and do easy tasks. Guess it’s fine. Why should I care if they don’t. :)

Open weight? You mean open source, or is there a new term.

I used to switch between plasma and gnome but that stopped with plasma 6. It was so good that it just became my primary. Now gnome feels bad when I try it. Everything looks bad there. No proper fractional scaling support, no hdr support etc etc.

I used this for a while but the fastmail web interface is actually good enough… I use thunderbird for cleaning up and deleting stuff, and organizing… There it shines.

It was an attempt at humor. :)

Ok let me say it in a better way. People who work in IT do it because they like it. Many of the first world wide web pages or YouTube videos were made without anyone wanting any money for it. There was no profit motive or expectation whatsoever.

That’s why I thought it was funny to read how instance owners are doing labor without getting paid, as if that was the purpose of the instance. To get paid for running it.

To me that’s funny. It’s a bit like me painting a painting and putting it out there, and asking people to pay for my labor. The hours I spent making it. Because now the painting exists in the world. Who is gonna pay for it?

I believe instance admins are more than happy running the instance without profit motive. Because it’s nice to be part of giving something to a community of people.

I wish to get paid for my labor writing this comment.

Frostpunk 2 is about politics. I hated it and don’t play it at all. It’s not even similar to the first amazing game. You may be disappointed unless you like politics.

All my stuff is on a network drive (movies and other big files). All configuration of apps is in git (their config files).

Makes it easy to start over.

I just reinstall apps I need, it’s so simple with Linux and package managers handling it all.

Hacker news users seem happy with its performance, so will try tomorrow. Fun with new terminals.

You won’t get the same united look in Gnome as in mac OS. Applications will look a bit different and not exactly the same.

I think you get used to it though. I don’t think about it at all anymore.

Nice idea but yeah, Ai stuff is a bit tacky. :)

I think simpler deployment should be on top of the list for next year. The microservice architecture scares quite a lot of people away and makes it complicated. If it was me, I would make microservices optional, for people who wants to scale their immich components. Most will never have the need.

Systemd-boot is the simplest, it just works.
