Every time I read #UnixSurrealism it makes me want to switch to #Plan9.

This is absolutely not a reasonable option for me, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to do it.

the urge to OS-hop is permanent but the desire for comfort and stability fights it constantly, it is an internal battle we all face

We got a little impatient waiting for it to reduce, but we made a delicious lentil dahl today.

You don't get to say that a recipe takes 10 minutes to prepare when one of the directions is "simmer covered for 25 to 35 minutes".
in reply to Jonathan Lamothe

I think the convention is "prep time" for a recipe is before heat is applied "cook time" is after heat is applied and "total time" is the sum of both, plus any required rest time between or after cook.

But, I do agree that can be annoying, because it's not the same as my expectations.



I just spent way longer than I care to admit trying to clean a spot on my glasses. Turns out it was a piece of lint on my eyelash.


Upgraded my Gitea* server this morning and had a moment of panic when I thought I'd lost admin access. Turns out they just changed where the admin interface lives.

* I meant to switch to Forgejo, but never got around to it and then they went hard fork, so it's more complicated now.



Some money that I was expecting a while ago finally hit our account. We can make rent after all. Finally my anxiety can start ratcheting down for a bit.

So for some reason two of my apps are suddenly switched to French. It wasn't a big deal as I can read it, but it was annoying.

I had my system languages set as follows:

  1. English (Canada)
  2. English (United States)
  3. French (Canada)

I assume it was because these apps didn't have localisations for my first choice, but I don't know why they instead jumped to the third option, skipping the second.

I have swedish as my second language and that happens to me sometimes too.
I don't mind, but it's surprising.


Just heard someone unironically use the term "real AI".

Real artificial intelligence? What the hell does that even mean?

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe

It means not actually an outsourced team of humans in India like that startup that was recently in the news.
in reply to Matthew Skala

@Matthew Skala I guess, but that wasn't the context in this case.


@Judy Anderson Fair, but this guy talking about how Zork "faked AI" instead of having the "real AI" we have now.
