I haven't been able to use worktrees because when there are major conflicts I find the ai can't handle it. Often it ends up dropping a lot of code.

How do you manage that? How do you successfully navigate complex merges using ai?

I've been using openbox for over a decade. That's completely false. Xfce is not a memory hog. And it's not minimal either it's fully functional.

Gnome is a bloated mess of a thing and I hate it. Why would anyone want their desktop to use over 1gb of ram. I have a 32gb laptop and I still loath the idea of throwing away memory on such a bloated awful thing.

Running gnome on a phone. Yeah... No

Gnomes' a massive memory hog

I was looking at this and thinking maybe it would improve a cheap android phone. But now I know it's running gnome I won't even consider trying

Back in 2005 I spent 2 years where I'd walk for an hour each day to the city centre. There I'd go to the book store. I read so many books, from every different section.

Eventually, I started to notice that nearly all the books seemed to essentially be repeating every other book. I stopped reading.

Today I get occasionally read books, but honestly I feel like 95% of book material is just filler.

I get far more from reading websites like this one.

I challenge the notion that reading books is something that leads to smart and well educated people. I just don't think that's true.

What I think it is that leads to that, is curiosity.

Phones take curiosity and run it into overdrive and born out. That's the issue with them for me at least.

I randomly received an email from chatgpt saying my account was suspended. I appealed it and got it back - I hadn't used it in months.

But this has left a sour taste in my mouth. What if I relied on it for mission critical business processes?

This is potentially far worse than say a gmail account going down. It's the stuff of nightmare fuel.

Not having an alternative is a massive risk for any business.

Here is the direction I'm heading in:

- I run arch on the host. The host runs qemu.

- Qemu VM 1 runs my work machine.

- Qemu VM 2 runs my financial stuff.

It took me about 2 days of work to figure out how to virtualized my machine and maybe months of tinkering after that to get it right.

I'm trying to separate general work use and payments to entirely separate security models.

I've also begun moving all dev work to cheap vps's that I run online with AI agents.

No it isn't. It's a fork of terminal with copilot embedded. All windows software has copilot embedded. So this is a an alpha version of the new version of terminal that comes with windows.

He says he adds an output message, but I've tried this myself and I find that quite a lot of the time the agent prefers its own internal monologue over the output of a command.

"In the first half of the 19th century, for example, the Midwest was so short of authentic banknotes that people knowingly accepted counterfeit ones."

Sounds like a more traditional form of IOU to me. Which was a fairly widespread thing if I'm not mistaken?

I guess we can no longer use this phrase:

Bitcoin has gone through a number of narratives. A big one was the it was digital gold. Then, gold went up like crazy and bitcoin stagnated and people lost interest.

It's still a store of value.. I guess?

Does it support phone recorded video without conversion?

That was the blocker for me. Kdenlive does

Try kdenlive for basic video editing. It's better than openshot

So it's not actually useful then. I guess I'm a little harder to impress than the author.
