Opinions are my own, but they should be yours.

Yes, I have a PhD. No, I'm not the Dr Wright who claimed to have invented Bitcoin.

@timbray@cosocial.ca I'm always surprised how little love #pass gets in the #PasswordStore #security discussions. It's from Jason A. Donenfeld - of #Wireguard fame - and it uses #git as it's "database" (i.e. files with version control) so you don't get any of the database corruption issues from which the other tools suffer. https://www.passwordstore.org/

@alexglow@chaos.social I'd love to have "A little learning is a dangerous thing". I started my PhD thesis with the first two lines of this poem... https://www.poetsgraves.co.uk/Classic%20Poems/Pope/a_little_learning.htm And it's so very apt for many, many discussions!

Do we think that Microslop is outsourcing app icon design to AI? Or is Engage just meant to be Enrage?

@mythologyandhistory@mas.to When I was studying physics this was the story about the "No Bell" prize. 😕

@alexglow@chaos.social You are so talented! That's amazing... Thank you, I'm going to use it as a background. The texture of the vellum looks so appealing to write on. I used to use parchment for calligraphy so I can just imagine the feel...

@alexglow@chaos.social I glad you like it! It really spoke to me as well. The joy of being able to deeply immerse oneself in discovery is underappreciated and such a wonderful benefit of civilisation.

@briankrebs ...or just python in Excel. The amount of "internal only" data that is unknowingly shipped off to a Microsoft Coud environment. 🤦‍♂️

I love #AI tools (not):

#Gemini: Updating the podman machine to 5.8.2 via the rm/init method is the cleanest path to a permanent fix.

#Copilot: No. Upgrading your Podman machine to 5.8.2 does not fix this issue.

#Claude: Will Podman 5.8.2 fix it? I can't say with confidence.

Me: 😭😭😭
