I used to live in Berlin and the summers there were unbearably muggy. Everyone seemed okay with it and it made me feel crazy!

I’m not going to personally donate a little under 0.1% of my net worth, and I may seem a hypocrite, but at some point you have to acknowledge that it’s a maddening, life changing amount of money that in no way would have a noticeable effect on his life. On the other hand, it could hurt most people’s ability to pay rent to give away that money.

Survival is mostly a fixed cost that is unmet by many people, while other people donate those who are less off’s life earnings to their fancies they vibe with. It’s gross. Unfortunately humans are not brave or imaginative enough to realise another system (99% tax on billionaires would be a start), but most people also hate the idea that someone in need would get something for free or at a low cost.

This isn't the gotcha you think it is. Every time I try Vivaldi I am right back at Firefox and I am surely not alone. I have never understood the obsession with tree style tabs or vertical tabs. I don't need to customise my browser at all and I like supporting engine diversity.

Western Australia also has a VPP program that is pretty successful.

I would be interested to understand more about what you think unions and organisation have done for working rights over the last 100 years.

Do people find these incredibly throwaway and short form posts that interesting to discuss? It comes off as lazy to me.

Totally. You didn’t “read” an audiobook

This is very good, because billing the EU is quite strict, and having someone get the format right for me is super useful :)

I just made my own invoice generator using a json spec and a HTML -> PDF pipeline that wasn't so simple to get going. I might use this!

Because historically appeal systems are well crafted and efficient? Please... at least read your comment out loud to yourself.

I would hedge most businesses don’t need the full offering of 365. You could get away with an email provider, a way to author documents and some file storage which are abundantly offered on other platforms like infomaniak.

That's not generative AI, just source separation which has existed way before large language models and transformer architecture were big.

You can already do this, but the platformised generative AI is sloppy by comparison and not that interesting.

> My friend bought me lunch. I used that energy at my job. Do I owe them part of my paycheck?

No but you owe him lunch next time. Wait till you find out that you have to share your birthday cake on your birthday.

So deeply unscientific. All tanning is evidence of damage.

How does this compare to using Plato or KOreader? I currently use Plato for its simplicity.

I was riding my bike home from REWE (supermarket in Germany) with two big bags of shopping. As I crossed the road I mounted a small bump that caused both bags to split. In that moment I sort of gave up as all my food rolled across the asphalt.

A Turkish lady got out of her car, went to the boot and got three heavy duty plastic bags out. She helped pick up the groceries, pack it into the bags, all the while ignoring traffic and halting cars. I said my most profuse thank you in German and all she said was: no problem. I still remember it often.

I'm so glad that this is available so some cretin with TPUs can train the next culturally and morally compromised generative model.

Language changes. Keep up. It’s important so you don’t become isolated and suffer cognitive decline.
