Not surprised. At the hands of a trained one the Samurai sword (LLMs) could be effective. For non experts the results will be mediocre at best and dangerous at worst.

if you have dumped it already you can still create folders. Folders is one approach. With the Zettelkasten approach you can skip folders and go for tags. Once I made a script which interacts with Zotero API to create tags based on the content.

Thanks to @npub16y8…d455 's initiative, I got the final push that I needed to set up a donation to PSF. I even made it an annual recurring thing and also signed up as a contributing member (which I believe I am).
Python has been instrumental in shaping my career, so I should have done this sooner.

Europeiskt medborgarinitiativ att förbjuda omvändelseterapi (conversion therapy) i Europeiska unionen är på gång t.o.m. 17-maj!
Sverige ligger under tröskelvärdet och för att EU ska ta hänsyn till ett medborgarinitiativ måste det få en miljon underskrifter totalt och minst sju EU-länder. Just nu 6 länder har nått tröskelvärdet. Kan vi vara den 7:e?

It is not that simple.
In this case, it is the annual Diwali festival and transport and agricultural activities contributing to smog. Energy is part of the equation, but not everything. Those agricultural waste could be used for energy, or to create a nonexisting district heating system. Bus lanes were tried, but discarded. They should try it again.
About Nuclear, it is easier when you are part of the cool club, which India is not

That's the one, thank you! I fear another tool which I admire which is #pixi may have the same issue which you describe. I wanted to check this.

I am looking for a blog post titled something like "Poetry considered harmful". It was about how Poetry forces developers to bump up the minimum version of Python just to use the latest version of a developer tool, such as black.
Do you have the link to the blog post I am talking about?

What a cliff hanger!
Here's 5 internet cents that you have come up with a new name for the "pull-request" just like Gitlab called it a "merge-request".

Also wasn't it Google who enforcing deprecation of Manifest v2 and which forced gorhill's hand to develop a new add-on?
As long as other browsers rely on Blink (Chromium as base) as the webengine what is the guarantee that Manifest v2 could be supported in the future?

Some of your criticism is valid and sure there was some unfortunate miscommunications over uBlock Lite.
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/issues/197
Firefox tried to reach out later, but gorhill was adamant to delist it.
In any case, uBlock Lite is the crippled Manifest v3 version of uBO. As long as Manifest v2 is supported uBlock Origin remains the superior adblocker.

Thanks for this list. It seems that mastodon.acm.org and toot.berlin have managed to squash the spam accounts, so don't need to be blocked.

A dear friend came over to visit us and during his stay gave me a crash course on #dota2. This game is basically what #Vim is to editors.
