Hang in there, folks.

Your very existence pisses off some shitbag bigot.

I love that for you. 🌈

Strip out all the pro-advertiser cruft and all that, how much computer do you need to run a basically modern browser? Like, user tracking is about the most compute heavy thing most people do on their devices, so yeet that and I think we can get by on pre-end-of-10, maybe even pre-10 hardware more or less indefinitely.

So, I have been told I must block out 2 hours a week to talk to the company chatbots.

Seriously.

Anyway, according to Gemini, I am the executive director for the Frontenac Arch Biosphere. So that's going awesome.

Huh, shit.

When I got my severance pay finally, end of last year, they apparently fucked up the tax withholding on it and now I owe $4k taxes for last year; I was expecting to get a rebate of probably 3 or 5 thousand.

This is super bad.

The fossil record shows we & dogs domesticated each other as early as 47000 years ago.
We've had agriculture for 8 or 10 thousand years.
That means we've had dogs in our lives about 5 times longer than we've known how to grow food on purpose.

Cursed idea:
Software distribution format that is just a, like, gigabytes long CLAUDE.md that instructs your system how to vibe code the whole product, assets, everything. Like, instead of a game binary and a bunch of assets, just an assload of prompts that you load up in vscode to get your game. AAA game publishing, but for 2026.

Once the unlimited investment dries up, most or all of the cloud LLM services will disappear, but if that happens after complete industry capture we are 100% boned. We'll end up with unlimited government subsidy like we have with brown energy.

So, I've used an older BeagleBoard (the Black) that is a super nice board to work with, but only 32 bit.

They offer the BeagleBone AI-64 now, seems to be what you need just a little pricier than a Pi 5, and needs a PoE cape (but that does exist for it).

ROFL!
So, my parents live outside town, and there are auto club losers who race down their road. You know the type, it'll be a dozen or so little 2-seater cars with rev limiters go zipping along back roads.
I've always assumed it was asshole kids.
Nope! Got a look at the drivers today, they're mostly fat balding middle aged guys.
