A third person is about to show up and express mild interest, then they will wander off for a drink, but then return and ask to have the rules explanation start over…

I dont have time to build and maintain a curated offline library like I used to.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure the high seas legitimate DRM free music purchases will welcome you back when you have time again.

Yes. I assume it is the brains way of preventing wetting the bed when needing to pee while too tired to awaken.

But the dream where all our teeth fall out - I assume that is our brain trying reconcile how we only get two sets - which is some bullshit.

What’s up with the Rust hate?

The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren’t broken.

They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it’s still fun to give them a hard time about it.

I don’t recall the doctor being green, though?

Thank you for your service.

And my axe!

Infinity is effectively just bullshit.

I’m fond of pointing out to my students that there’s a very practical reason to care about “infinity” in math:

While nothing ever reaches “infinity”, things absolutely do reach a point where they violently fly to pieces and catch on fire.

So I teach my students to substitute the phrase “explodes and catches on fire” where they see an equation that “approaches infinity”.

I find it helps them pay attention to a subject that is otherwise bullshit. Infinity itself is bullshit, but it has a place in math: telling us when to quickly duck behind a good solid oak table.

This is a great plan, but it is critical to not be the person to notify each guest. Infinite calls to inconvenience infinite people sounds like hell.

I feel like my odds of avoiding getting my ass kicked are better inconveniencing just one person.

What? No! Thus could be anyone’s party for any occasion.

My spouse said it was fine, and not to talk about it anymore.

you’ll just have to built your own apps too

We are well on our way.

I was confused before I made the switch. So many of the most useful kinds of apps weren’t maintained anymore by anyone on the Google Play store. I had this surreal feeling that the app ecosystem was getting worse every year.

And then I installed F-Droid and figured out where all of my favorite app developers went. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m pleased to report that all those other promised utopia frameworks turned out perfect, and aren’t in any way still a huge daily pain in the ass. I expect no less from this time around. Computers are finally smart. It’s great.

It’s the AI that is prone to delusions, or was that just me?

A little more time and a lot more money. But the savings will be huge. The savings will make the current era of extravagant burning piles of money look like a sound investment. You’ll be glad you got in on the ground floor…

We do need a little more time, though. And money.

I’m forced to assume that you are now surprisingly attractive, as well. That’s the way out goes with the person I never noticed in school.

Of course, part of it might be that my definition of attractive grew up to be a lot healthier than it was when I was a kid.

Oh!

As they say, them who laugh lasts, probably needed a minute to think about it. Today, that was me.

The answer is 2.

Cling to known humans who write their own code.

Snake oil salesmen always encourage the public to bet against the experts, with predictable results.

Someday ethically sourced AI can be used responsibly by trustworthy coders.

But the key is choosing to collaborate with trustworthy coders.

Just so you know, this isn’t Reddit. You’ve just been blocked by everyone reading along here.

If you start to feel like no one replies here, it’s actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.
