Haha. Seems necessary but not sufficient. Isn’t being victorious part of it, too?

That's definitely the common knowledge but I'm starting to think that victory -> writing about it has it backwards in a lot of cases, esp in modern corporate life.

So, I've been using this harness for a week and a half now, and what's interesting to me is that it brings a lot of things that I'd already built for myself in Pi. I built a little email system for agents to communicate, a memory system to do this "continual harness" thing of self-improvement. I know I'll move on to another harness in the future, so I'm trying to treat this like I do laptops now, and think about portability in the things I build or customize.

Good day, person in my future! We haven’t had supper yet, but when I wake up, the very first thing I do is to drink 500ml of water. Then, an hour or so after, coffee, black, no sugar.

What the "for you" means? Often I find things there, but, why are they "for me"? What's the criteria? Same for "to me". Are "to me" replies to my notes, or comments, or are they something else? I will start by defining what exactly are those two, before getting into further weeds.

@ → smallest token, visited less often than the rest, very visible when it has a counter that you need to pay attention to (someone interacted with you) my feed → largest token, this is where you should be spending your time mostly. right now it’s everything you’re following, but in the future might be enriched, so it’s a feed of information, my feed of information hot → obvious, unambiguous all → simply everything that’s posted. clearly communicated.

All have different dimensions & shapes. for you -> personalization -> feed / my feed / my textlog / >_ (branded) for me -> directionality -> mentions / my mentions / @me @ is also directionality signifier hot -> popularity -> hot all -> firehose/chronology -> latest, tho it does create a endo-hit Goofy shorthand experiments (maybe superscripts?): >_ @me !hot *all or: >_ @ ! *
@jgprofilefollowNew herereplied to@stagas🤸profilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog:
As long as we're doing this, may I put forth that the "hot" tab runs counter to the principle that removing view counts and timestamps seemed to embody? I'd rather have a "random" tab than a hot. I liked your impulse to design around dopamine rather than at it.
@stagas🤸profilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlogreplied to@jgprofilefollowNew here:
I’ve given a lot of thought about that. My thinking was to keep some older nice posts a bit more alive to keep the discussion going. And it works to a percentage. But as it is now with the new conversation views it overlaps a lot with “latest” as the active conversations get bumped to the top anyway, so the current “hot” topics are in latest’s first page naturally. So I might refactor the algorithm a bit to favor top level posts. I think it’s worth it, new users especially discover posts there..
@unsayprofilefollow#minneapolisnotesfollowcontinued:
Furthermore, writing again to your surfaced spaced repetition would, as a side-effect, bubble up to the all & potentially hot feeds making new content visible to others. It's not a fully shaped or realized concept. Just dreaming up other ideas.

Still in Quebec City, which has a pretty sizable street population once you come down from the hill where the tour groups go. We had to basically step over some guys sharing a glass pipe on the only stairs up the hill yesterday; I have teenagers so this bothered me. Later, my youngest and I were talking and he says "why don't the police do something about that?"
@jgprofilefollowNew herecontinued:
He's showing me the first season of Mob Psycho, so I say You know how Mob's little brother Ritsu wants to clean up the school so there are no people who will bully Mob, and so he allies with the power hungry student council president and frames all the bullies to get them expelled and the whole situation eventually becomes really corrupt and authoritarian and Ritsu feels to blame even though he started out with good intentions? Life is really like that...
@jgprofilefollowNew herecontinued:
And so my guess is that Quebec is in the portion of the cycle that's reacting to harsh and unfair policing of the past. Someday a mayoral candidate will get elected on the promise of cleaning it all up and the cycle will begin again. Anyway Mob Psycho is a good show.

it's unfortunate these kinds of obvious non-starters for a functional society can only ever be discussed on both extremes of the political spectrum. It shouldn't be a question that degeneracy has no place in public settings.

The more I use Terraform the more I don't like it. Can I just get the option to track state with Ansible?
@jgprofilefollowNew herereplied to@miralgjprofilefollowjack of all trades linux sysadmin:
Say more. I've been using it this year "at scale" and it sucks in the way that everything sucks when the whole company starts using it for everything. I haven't used Ansible in over a decade, but am curious what you like about it better.
@miralgjprofilefollowjack of all trades linux sysadminreplied to@jgprofilefollowNew here:
Ansible just melds with my way of thinking better. I have a really hard time wrapping my head around nested loops in HCL and the overall "ugliness" of the language. Plus, I kind of like being in control of the order things are created.

In my storm and stress phase, I tried many things, but nowadays I tend to choose boring technology when it comes to work, for me that is Ubuntu or Debian with XFCE4 Desktop. On my personal System I currently run Omarchy though.

I tried Omarchy to explore Hyprland, Waybar, and similar tools. I'd seen them in beautifully riced tiling desktops and wanted to experience that myself. Mainly, I wanted an opinionated, different desktop experience to break from my usual setup. Next time I reinstall, I'll probably take my custom Hyprland and Waybar configs and move to a Debian/Ubuntu-based system. Have you had the opportunity yet to play around with Omarchy?

Upon further reflection, creating a sense of missing out on something is the essence of modern marketing.

I use Ubuntu with the default Gnome Desktop. I like it a lot and it just works. I've been using it since the beginning. It is not perfect (what distro is?) but it works fine for me.

Arch Linux with KDE. I like that Arch comes with nothing and is pretty vanilla. No bloat, and customisable. No major upgrades where 5 things break at once. Install once, and it's fine until the device has to be replaced. Only then usually do a fresh install. It's up to date, still pretty boring, and you learn a bit in the process.

i distro hoped a lot. Finally i found my cozy home with debian with kde. 3 years still running without a problem all the software i use works perfectly and the games run smoothly.

Arch with i3, have been using it for like 7-8 years now. Started out at elementary os, really good and everything, but the thing where I dont need to install *-dev libs separately saves me a lot of time during compilations and building. Also, AUR is a life saver at times.

Do you live there or are just visiting? I remember feeling so at home there as a kid. I never kept my French up so I don't think I could ever move there.

Visiting, for the first time. It's about a 9 hour drive from home so we've never made the trip, but so worth it. Went to Ile d'Orleans yesterday, just... so quiet and beautiful. Seems a bit of a paradise, haven't even made it up to the natl park(s) yet. My French is coming back a little each day, made it all the way through the coffee order just now :)
