The Twitter alternative created by the original creator of Twitter

Reminder that because the Windows 11 taskbar is slower and buggier than the Windows 10 taskbar, it uses much more power due to the extra CPU cycles.

I wish I could semi-whitelist (graylist?) many websites, like allowing only "acceptable ads" so that the website can pay for costs and make a small profit while not blowing up my screen with ads. At the same time, many websites (Reddit, most recipe sites, and any text site with an autoplaying video) absolutely deserves a full ad blacklist for disrespecting their users so much. Still other websites deserve a full whitelist.

Could I get a link to see the mini-documentary?

Yeah that part was unfortunate. But I still thought it was so cool and funny seeing someone travel the country with tiny, fun electric vehicles.

What about the fast e-scooters? Might be time to buy an e-scooter now...

I'd still trust my local LLM more with sharing explicit sexual desires than some cloud service

I'm fine with some basic telemetry about how fast the browser runs, but tracking my searches is creepy.

Couldn't she just copy the text to a text file or .odt file and perhaps email it (or better yet, physically copy it with a USB drive) if she can't direct share it?

This is one of the areas I see this whole "AI" thing being super useful. It could probably transcribe the video, separate the text into coherent sections and paragraphs, and take stills from the video as pictures. If the AI is smart enough, it could selectively pick out the right stills.

It also really depends on what "home" is. My current home is a tiny room in a cheap apartment (to save money) with a tiny kitchen, a small living room, and a joke of a dining area. I feel inclined to go to the office despite a 45 minute commute because there isn't anywhere good to spread out and focus on work at home. Plus in-person connections with colleagues is another benefit. I'm currently hybrid with WFH 1 day out of 5.

Hard disagree. I dual boot both Windows 11 and Ubuntu on my main laptop and Ubuntu is usually way faster feeling, except sometimes on shutdown due to some snap or cups bug. Almost everything opens in a second or less, and I get better battery life on Ubuntu as well. My bigger problem is that it struggles with WiFi under crowded conditions.

I love the effort of making the electric motorcycles, but $10k is a ridiculous price on this Grom-like bike. You can get a Yamaha MT-09, a ridiculously fast and fun ICE bike, for that price. This scooter should be about half that.

I'll try to do that. Thanks for the tip!

I can't wait to see this technology in motorcycles and micro mobility vehicles. It will be a mushroom in Mario Kart IRL. And imagine this tech on drag bikes/cars

I use FitoTrack (FOSS, on F-droid) but I also get poor battery life. My best solution unfortunately is to just carry a power bank with me.

I've finally began to play Palworld, which was on my bucket list for a while. I'm still a noob that's level 8, and I don't know how to make my pals in my base do specific tasks (planting instead of grazing)

English = green

Math = red

Science = blue

Social studies = yellow

Three things:

1. Governments need to regulate exclusive third party content so that the platforms compete on quality instead of just amount of content.
2. Companies should go back to pay as you use. I hate subscribing to things.
3. Users should push back hard on new bad things that the corporations do.

One long meandering 6 lane road that makes up the entire city. I'm not even kidding, that's pretty much the optimal solution in the game.
