56 hours was my longest stint. Was in late high school and just had back to back to back events non-stop including a 24h film festival planning production and submission after a day of classes followed by a big blowout senior party by which point it was just a challenge to see how far to take it. Was a pretty fun roller coaster all told. Plenty of 30-36 hour days since then too, but it’s getting more difficult to go past 24h as I age.

As much as it sucks to read about weekly these days, it’s going to suck so much more when these stop getting reported and people just go back to being sick and dying for no reason.

So don’t use iCloud and the photos app? What’s the problem here? There are plenty of third party camera apps and photo managers that could all use the same apis to access your directly integrated nextcloud storage the same way the photos app works. Hell, Plex offers automatic photo backups to your plex server! Y’all need to actually explain what this monopoly claim is in better detail. What am I not understanding here?

What? You can host your own nextcloud instance and use it in the files app as a storage location and have all the same “save to” and “Read from” actions for documents that iCloud has. I use that and smb shares regularly and the only apps that don’t work with it are the ones who choose not to implement the apis for it. How is it monopolistic if Apple’s 1st party apps and software only work with their 1st party storage offering while allowing anyone to use the system api’s to connect and access any other storage service they want? Is it just them complaining that you can’t backup photos to anything but iCloud (except you can, by plugging it into any computer locally)? I really don’t understand, legitimately.

STOP MAKING WHITE RUBBER THUMBSTICKS (these look more gray, but my point still stands).

All the while instantly and completely removing all the taxes they pay into without benefit in the first place. We are so fucked that this slide into fascism isn’t even a surprise or ignorant of history. We know it’s happening, we are seeing it in real-time.

Have you tried Penny’s Big Breakaway yet? Been eyeing it and based on your list here, seems right up your alley.

Get your PC parts now while you can. You’ll regret sitting on that new video card or ram upgrade in a few months.

BFU has always been useful, it’s nice there’s a bit of autonomy to it now.

It’s also a good time to mention Shortcuts app has lots of useful functions that can automate your phone for security reasons. There are several community made / managed shortcuts that can do things like lock down the phone, enable certain features, and even start recording audio/video on the off chance you’ve been pulled over or are in some sort of situation. You can also tell the phone to power off / reboot via shortcuts which can be a final step after recording and uploading content to the cloud.

Stay safe out there.

The older I get, the less time passes between starting a new project and reading the readme / manpages for a library.

Since we would be inside the frame of reference, I don’t think we would know it was happening, like imagine you’re inside a tube that is knotted. You’d go through the tube like a slide at the water park, no way to see that it’s a knot, even if we can detect the turning and tumbling, there’s little we can reference from inside to determine it’s crossing around itself.

It doesn’t matter how bullshit or not it was, it matters that people voted for it.

They’re referring to the literal campaign strategy / platform he ran on which includes such fascist rhetoric as deporting 20m immigrants (when there’s at most 13-15m by most estimates, every single one of which helps the economy and is not a burden in any way) and “it’s the last election you’ll need to vote in”, as just a sample. Oh and don’t forget “I’ll only be dictator for one day” as a bonus, a treat. That’s what people mean when they say democracy is dead.

I don’t want to blame Harris either, she seemed to do the best that she was given but it always was long odds given that she’s a Half-Indian Half-Black Woman. (Racism from Whites, Racism from Indians for being a race-traitor, and then sexism from everyone including minorities).

This is bullshit rhetoric. She ran a shit campaign of trying to appease republican voters and cater to the snowflake right wing fear machine by shushing Palestine voices to back genocide directly and trying to sound tougher on immigration and border policy in the face of literal fascist policy campaigns by Trump. This is 100% the fault and failure of the Harris campaign’s strategy and the DNC for being so chicken shit scared of losing that they kept the corpse in chief in the running for too long. Catering to the fascist right policies never works and ignoring insanely popular progressive policy always fails. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

If you don’t need to host but can run locally, GPT4ALL is nice, has several models to download and plug and play with different purposes and descriptions, and doesn’t require a GPU.

Huh, I’ve only heard business logic before.

Quarterly is very common. It’s absurd.

Throwing BPS.Space on here, more rockets fun and genuinely good engineering fail and fail again until you succeed rocket madness.

I’m glad the union has a majority in agreement on this step. But Boeing is going to regret not having any long-term skill retention when they all leave for greener pastures because there’s no incentive to stay.
