That actually hurts a little. I hope you reconsider, music is an art, and allowing a computer to regurgitate previous works over and over and be ok with it is awful.

Art is to be experienced and enjoyed, not just take whatever trash is thrown at you and be ok with it.

I have a strong suspicion this is AI slop. I also think this article draws way too many conclusions from a git log.

can someone explain openclaw/nanoclaw use cases to me?

I also do not understand the uses right now. Are we just grasping at usefulness ?

Feel free to have your own workflow but git already addresses this tools entire purpose with includeIf.

New comment by sigmonsays in "4x faster network file sync with rclone (vs rsync) (2025)"

sigmonsays — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 05:35:06 +0000

for fun try this 1. tar + nc 2. rsync 3. scp

#1 is the fastest way to send because it keeps the buffers full in a consistent stream which allows tcp windows to grow as large as possible. 2 and 3 ( scp and rsync ) do round trip acks to the remote side which drastically slows things down, even if done in parallel.

this stopped me from go installing it too on nixos. I'm not gonna put the effort in to run it.

There should be a build tag to disable clipboard, that'd be the easiest way around this.

I dont understand the need for an entire website and shell script installer when all it does is download 1 file and put it somewhere.

For anyone else on firefox, save yourself some effort and just download this https://github.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/blob/mai...

their vision is still developing and staring at a screen is not good for eye development.

it removes stimulation and interaction with the environment and replaces it with sedentary and no physical interactions.

While the exact reasons are not common knowledge, knowing TV is bad for toddlers is.
