@fruitywelsh I always think about that old (possibly apocryphal)Thomas Edison quote:

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” 😀

E-ink art frames are a scam (2021)

#Pyschedelic #Bear #AIArt

#linux #debian #archlinux virt-manager installed, MX fluxbox installed for my development system, git bare repository updated for apt and nordvpn aliases, and getting repo installed on virtual machine.

An interesting social question about 2023 is whether language models will create the same kind of bitter polarized climate that now surrounds #aiart. I suspect they will, although IP may not be the flashpoint in the same way because captions aren't central for #LLM. (So author names aren't as central.) But still when jobs are disrupted, people get angry.

Hi there!

I’m lucky enough to do #product type things - #productmanagement, #productowner, #agile etc - for a living.

Some of my hobbies, passions, & distractions:

I understand that the underlying technology is much improved, but ...

I feel like KDE 3.x was much better than #KDE 4 and up.

Of course, I use #Fluxbox today because it does almost everything I want, and nothing I don't.

(Aside from #Pop_OS on my media center, I've never used #Gnome (Pop_OS is Gnome, right?)) <= feeling very #emacs / #lisp -y right now

Psychos like Trump and Elon don't plan. They have some rules they live by like "Never admit you're wrong," but they don't plan.

Stop trying to fit your normal brain around their broken narcissist brains. You will never understand them via empathy.

I want to switch the machines I use to manage the restaurant to Linux, anyone willing to help us out?
