Hello, textlog!

hello! welcome! :)

i would choose x and the fediverse over this tbh

I'm looking for a way to manage my bookmarks easily on desktop and Android. Anyone have any experience with software like that? It'd be nice to be able to tag or categorize pages, and maybe to keep local mirrors for certain ones. I'm open to self-hosting. Thanks for reading!

I've stopped managing bookmarks after del.icio.us died - now i just hit the browser star but they seem to disappear and never visit them again, apart from the most recent. The situation sucks really. I'm also interested in a good solution.

What a dude.

apparently there is some filtering. can't say "hit*s with hand".

I'm employed again. Once again through someone I know and not through LinkedIn. Still not feeling productive and comfortable.

After a decent break, cannot not notice how much of my time I have to sell for a "traditional" job.

I really love the feeling of a new social network app! Takes me back to high school when I first used facebook. Somehow makes it easy to share things.

for those new here, this is my other project, online ! come for a dance! ~~~~~> <~~~~~

Be there in a bit. Hanging out with .

…

Seeing Hallucinate brought to mind . 😅

Yes! I was thinking of doing the same, see .

Big holiday today in Greece, bells ringing, bands singing, people gathered in the village, eating, enjoying life and I'm spending it inside coding. I don't feel bad and I'm not , it's just that I'm a bit odd. I don't like these forced gatherings. Feel stressful.

replied to(deleted account):

It’s called Dekapentavgoustos, meaning 15th of August in Greek, it’s a celebration of Virgin Mary. It’s a big national holiday.

What does shots fired and Virgin Mary have in common???

Crete.

Hah. Didn’t see that coming

…

I regret avoiding those things when I was younger. The stress from socializing is how you grow.

where in Greece are you from? my family is from Karpathos.

Laziness is half the health.

some people do absolutely improve their work output (either amount or quality) with AI, but most people just resign all their critical thinking to the black box. if you cannot function at YOUR WORKPLACE without ai, chances are that, 99% of the time, you never was supposed to work there in the first place.

Is this true? Sometimes, AI allows for socratic thinking, this is, the conversation with the machine allows the thinker to go further as the AI thorws ideas to the conversation. Many times, the AI reasoning is not good enough, but like a friend that says a funny think that sparks an idea, the AI can help our brain to see other possible paths. The AI doesn't need to be right to be helpful

…

I converted this comment into a post.

that's only true if a) that "rubber ducky" entity is not leading the line of thinking down the wrong path, and b) the human thinker is actually doing the critical thinking, and not the machine. The latter is where my criticism of unbridled AI use is in this case, wherein the human becomes the rubber ducky instead of the other way around.

A problem I perceive is usage of AI to launder ignorance. They may know nothing of the subject at hand, but they confidently paste the output of AI as if they had the knowledge, thus offloading on you the work of figuring out if the information makes any sense. In many ways it emboldened the incompetent.

This, so much this

howdy

halo :) welcome

Microsoft Word Online (web version) is horrible.

It was the only way to reproduce the authentic horrible experience of the offline version.

🤣 Did not remember the offline version being this bad, but maybe it went downhill in the past 5 years I have not used it.

…

I never used the online version, but the last time I used the offline version it already was a horrible experience. This was about 5 years ago, before I had moved entirely to Linux. It was so bad I downloaded a pirated version of some old MS Office 2007 Blue Edition to have something acceptable. I unironically prefer Libre Office.

Anyone here using NixOS? How long did it take for you to learn it and completely set it up? My current distro is Arch (btw)

signals. thinking about shifting my mental framework to identify signals instead of waiting for concepts to be assembled. exploring the amount of energy and opportunities for distractions through the operations of processing what just happened and what is happening to short circuit latent and unnecessary systems. cut through the assembly processes and identify the raw signals. recognizing that naming these "raw signals" is misleading. maybe, shifting observability lower in the stack.

Never realized how much slow builds kill morale until I have to do multiple back to back 😔

Nobody is complaining to me because I think they know they will be "voluntold" if they speak up 🤣🤣🤣

So, I just got an invite to the new W Social (EU) platform. It requires proper ID authentication - so actual provable humans are on there. Feels good and slightly optimistic. Let's see how it goes.

we're taking over. :3 this site is for weird animal tgirls now
