That’s delightful.

I imagine his origin story, as an alley cat talking to another alley cat:

“Those house cats have it so nice. I wish I could have that.”

“Bro. Just pick a human. They’re push-overs.”

“Seriously?”

“Yeah. You just wait for their door to open and then pick your spot in the couch.”

“That easy?!”

“It’s that easy.”

“I’m gonna do it.”

I’ve found that mapping a big dumb button to “Enter” works nicely for adding drama when invoking a big old batch script process.

Wait … The classic intellectual introspective Al Ewing character, Horse Venom, already made it to the movies?!

Fuck. That’s relatable. Oof.

It was browser hijacking malware.

I don’t like when people talk about my friend, Bonzi Buddy, that way! Lol. It’s completely fair and accurate, but I still don’t like to hear it. He was so cute!

This is terrific. More folks would be more excited if they realized how much less hassle Podman is than Docker.

“There’s no shortage of air!”

I’m relatively confident that AI represents the formalization of the perspective adhered to by those who run the economy.

It does provide context for why so many are throwing so much money at it, when experts know they’re not going to get a monetary return.

It could be that they’re just genuinely huge suckers. But I’m inclined to wonder if there’s more sinister motives in play.

Wait, they made another one?

I like these. Neat.

That makes sense. Did you also set the path to Nvim in settings.json? I had to do so to clear at least one error.

I also sometimes get that “disconnected” error too, but the have it work fine. I think there’s a race condition and it raises the error right after it starts, but then connects anyway, once everything else is set.

Yeah. This is such a better experience than past community tools I have used.

In particular, I hope we can attract the Do-It-Yourself repair community, before the current platforms lock all of that content away.

Yeah. I can understand being nervous that Putin won’t approve spending money on national defense investments.

Why would Microsoft fire an employee for holding a vigil, it’s not like they …

…called “No Azure for Apartheid”

Oh. Thanks for drawing attention to this, Microsoft! I appreciate that they’re so willing to invoke the Streisand Effect.

I hope those employees land somewhere where they build something that costs Microsoft a lot of profit.

This sounds like an important step toward fully working the right think algorithm.

I’ve been wondering where this line was:

It’s the realization that they are going to one day be suddenly falling to their own deaths in a poorly made hollow metal tube.

That’s what gets them off their asses to lift a finger to prevent their cronieism from killing us all.

Now how can we make climate change equally personal to them…?

For example, Republicans tend to have Christian evangelicals and business interests.

Yeah.

But at least the Christian evangelicals’ shareholders keep them so accountable to their core values that the desires of the mostly unorganized pastors leading the business owners have no meaningful say in the outcomes. (This is Sarcasm)

Nice.

I saw an error like that, too. (Also with the flatpak.)

I want to say I had an error in my init.vim that was the underlying cause, and the error message cleared up once I had that fixed. I also had to make sure both executables were on my path, and I had to correct where the NeoVim plugin was looking for Nvim, as well, in settings.json.

Makes sense. I suspect it may still not work due to Proton likely being compiled for Intel, rather than ARM chips.

If you run into that, you may be able to work around it by logging into the Raspberry Pi, cloning the source code and installing: (if you’re able to get that to work, it’ll likely work equally well on Ubuntu or Raspbian). But it’s not for the faint of heart, they (Proton) don’t include many details, so it looks like there will be a lot of learning about their tool chain. https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app#installation

(Edit: Since ProtonVPN is Python based, it may be fine, as long as there’s not too much C in the project. If it works immediately, my gut feeling is it will also work fine on Raspbian, if you need to switch for any other reasons.)

I set that up, once. It went poorly for me. Git behaves much better, for me, when used thoughtfully and manually.

What I now do instead, is work on certain projects on an SSH accessible host. This gives the same benefits of having my last state easily accesses, without causing noise in my development tools such as git.
