@joshuapsteele as long as it is slow going I'm interested :-). It is fun to receive letters.
@mbkriegh im not yet sure that it is the answer here. I'm actually quite like not having a number to increase. But then I feel the issue of posting into the void as well.
@z428 this is an interesting system. What is the reason for not saving the files? Too much overhead?
What can we do for the discover timeline on Micro.blog? One of the biggest issues I had with it was that it was not updated on the weekends and not when I was awake. But now it is not updated at all. I wonder if a system with voting could work in timezone groups.
@Denny it also does not help that we don't have a community manager any more and that the discover page is death.
@mbkriegh, there are a lot of good things in this thread already. I also felt the void lately, and then I recognized how often I read something in the timeline and did not write a comment. So, I try to be more active with commenting. But that also takes a lot more work than liking.
@jsonbecker I see the connection between Resident Alien and Humans as well. And Jumper the movie and the book are two different things :-) Although I suspected that they needed to make part of the changes for the movie as the book was aged from the topic matter.
Another recommendation would be We Are Legion by Dennis Taylor.
@jsonbecker ever read Jumper by Steven Gould (~354 pages)? It is a bit aged but I think it is still fun. Or Humans by Matt Haig (~300 pages).
@vincent yep does not sound like a day for work. I've also had it recently that Xcode just forgets all simulators configured for a branch it such a pita. And I need to quit the simulator every third build as it just keeps hanging when installing the app.
@Gabz, this is an interesting perspective and very well thought out before making the step. I'm not quite sure whether I understand the last paragraph correctly. Would you (as IP) manage a team of one, or would you join a team of one currently?
@benwerd loved this comparison:
Writing a book, on the other hand, requires much more craft: it’s like chiseling a story out of rock.
@DaveyCraney it sounds yummy. I hope the are ripe. That is the biggest issue here when we buy one. It is not ripe. When we buy two (needing only one) both are ripe.
@maique it was the same for me the last time. My wife and daughter felt it and I'm in the same room but rotated by 90 degrees and did not feel a thing.
@maique earthquakes are so surreal. And for the light ones, whether you notice them depends greatly on your position.
The movie starts slow, but I think it is worth it. At times it reminded me of a vampire film minus the (sparkling) vampires.
Adopted together after a tough childhood in an orphanage, Nica and Rigel realize that unexpected but irresistible feelings pull them together.
@hollie thank you for the insight. This is such a different system compared to my country. But I suspect our elections are also smaller and there is less to screw up (at least it feels this way from).
The frog king and his minions.
@kev Happy birthday. And I feel you on the pain front. It's just no longer the same as being twenty.
I really liked these tips. It is nothing new but it is good to read about them again in one place.
@petebrown love the image and the name of the cat! It remind me of one of the cats described in the book To Be A Cat
@kev that is the right thing to do when the small ones are not here to observe you :-) It is the same here. The moment she is not home we start eating before the TV again.
@hollie you were industrious OO, I should write some Postcrossing cards as well again. Have not done any this month so far.
Are the voter cards for the election a big thing? It is only the second time I've stumbled about this concept so far. What are you writing into them?
I might watch this movie for the sake of good old times.

@moonmehta My initial thought was Flipboard, but it is a long time since I last used them. Not sure it still works like it used to.
@matti Yes transforming from one language to another is something which I can see it working quite well. Just had another "fail" again this week perhaps I could have fixed it with some more time. But I needed to make progress, so did not go down the rabbit hole of prompt engineering :-).
@amerpie looks very interesting. Unfortunately I don't use Chrome as my daily browser.
But you don’t need to wait long for another bad episode. Every time they get an external helping person they are the ones who did it in the end.
The investigation of a famous dead astronaut found in Battery Park has hit a dead end, causing Stabler to ask for assistance from his old mentor, Dick Finley, a former colleague of the victim and an astronaut himself.
⤑ Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 10 Episode 4 (Lunacy).
Ok, I needed to watch many episodes of this series but every now and then they managed to make a good episode. I liked the story and the acting of the daughter and grandmother.
Stabler is shocked when his daughter, Kathleen, becomes the suspect in an investigation to catch a trespasser. He seeks his estranged mother's help in dealing with his daughter's case.

If I could decide, I would live virtuously, or rather, I would like to live in a world where using LLMs is a neutral-positive thing. However, if we think about it, nothing is neutral or positive, and everything has trade-offs.

I did the reasonable and spent some time in my shop today. I built a jig to create round discs with my disk sander.
I just started reading The Writer's Study Guide: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by Savannah Gilbo.📚
Why is it so hard to get the UUID of a iPad (or iPhone) under Windows? Wasted so much time with this yesterday.
Why does my mind now think I could build a replica of a mechanical calculator?
We survived the night and did not get wet!
Sitting in a tent on my parent’s lawn somehow brings me back to my childhood. I hope the tent is still watertight as its raining right now.
🎂 Today I’m marks the one year anniversary at my new job – still love it :-D
Happy 1st of August.
I’ve added a better image picker to my blogging app, now I can select the images from the favourite and recent albums.
