Robots for thee but not for me.

As a Canadian, we should work on improving our productivity and incorporate more automation and tooling. Whatever impacts our GDP in times of tariffs and economic uncertainty.

Not collectively waste time on the useless debates on how to spell things.

Llamafile did great work on improving cpu inferencing and generosly upstreamed it into llama.cpp

Wonderful project, please check it out.

There's almost an underlying assumption that taxpayers will bail you out, or you that you won't go to jail for all these securities frauds, or miscalculating risk on pension funds assets is okay.

Rip away all these away and the Emperor is called out to be naked very quickly.

We've just started to roll out our MCP Servers and if Anthropic and the community has already moved on, we'll wait till all this churn subsides till switching over next time.

I would also like to recommend Aerospace which is closer to i3 on Linux:

Adds support for Wayland with its latest release.

It also supports the downstream forks of lan-mouse and input-leap.

Not so sure about the 9-1-1 point.

>"All wireless phones, even those that are not subscribed to or supported by a specific carrier, can call 911. However, calls to 911 on phones without active service do not deliver the caller’s location to the 911 call center, and the call center cannot call these phones back to find out the caller’s location or the nature of the emergency. If disconnected, the 911 center has no way to call back the caller."

Seems they're deliberately distorting their responsibilities.

I'm in the same boat.

Barrier was abandoned and no contributions are made IIRC.

Total aside.

Has anyone found an alternative to Synergy? Its the last thing that's anchoring me to X11.

The Synergy team has been saying for years they'll support Wayland but no release has been made, I'm a paid customer.

Genuinely trying to understand.

Didn't the SR71 fly between LA and NY at above supersonic speeds? Don't military jets fly at supersonic speeds above land?

What makes this allowable in terms of sonic booms? Is it that they're much smaller and the their booms don't cause as much of a "wake" on the ground?

Oh awesome, thank you for suggesting this. Will swap out AutoFocus for AutoRaise.

The European Politician would have to introspect and answer exactly how it is that they add value.

All they can do is enact regulations and decrees in a centralized way like the former USSR.

Also as a entrepreneur in Europe, what incentives are there to create anything. There's the existing crippling regulations, employment laws are tough to try things out and just go bust, and at the end of it all if you're successful, the taxes remove whatever gains you should rightfully get for jumping through all these hoops.

All you have now are $200k designer bag manufacturers because of legacy.

I hope to god they do whatever is needed to keep ASML and the like competitive.

I use AutoFocus which gives focus-follows-mouse with AeroSpace and its a good enough replacement for i3wm.

Extremely thankful for both projects.

This smells like insurance scam from the "independent" dealership.

Now all three parties, the dealer, manufacturer and insurance are pointing fingers.

Good on the owner to have brought this to the media.

New comment by filereaper in "Podman Desktop 1.6 released: Even more Kubernetes and Containers features"

filereaper — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 16:53:35 +0000

Podman is still considered experimental with KinD clusters.

I wish more efforts were spent getting better integration with KinD clusters as they're much easier to spinup and work with.
