I'd like to try Linux with minimal commitment and no setup. Give it real test drive with some of my most important tools.

If and when I decide to make the switch, I want to have access to my normal windows machine. I'd keep it around if I need it. But prefer if it went away slowly. I want to work with and communicate with windows users with neither of us having to jump through weird hoops.

I want my printer to work.

Problems will come up, but I don't want it to dominate my time.

I'm sure most of you will say not to worry, but until I've logged some real hours, I will.

Here's Simon Willison's write up of how he uses AI. He's been using it for a couple of years and distilled his methods in this article. He also discussed when and how he vibe codes.

Requiem for a Dying Planet was the sound scape for Werner Herzog's Wild Blue Yonder. A brilliant film backed by this album, I feel that the album stands on its own.

This recording brings together three very disparate elements into a synergistic whole. They are Ernst Reijseger’s cello, the choral singing of the Sardinian group Tenore e Cuncordu de Orosei and the soaring vocals of Senegalese singer Mola Sylla. Each is a singular expression of music from widely differing traditions; together, they’re indescribable.

Requiem For a Dying Planet is not the anticipated death song for the earth, this music is dedicated to this wonderful planet and the beauty of living which could be heavenly if religions would not exist.”

He didn't call for the death of Israel.

Harris failed not because of her policies, but because she never was willing to sincerely differentiate herself from a Democratic party who continued to put themselves and their donors ahead of the average citizen.

Trump blew up the Republican party and it was a breathe of fresh air for a Washington full of their own self interest.

Its faaaaaar less about policies. It about an actual vision and authenticity. For as shitty as it is, Trump has this and Harris didn't. This is leverage.

Edit: I wholly agree with the white supremecy undercurrent. But this isn't new.

They want to win. They just don't want to have to change to do so.

If you think that's all of them then this is just silly. Or worse, lazy. Do politics.

It amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.

 

In 2024, Trump benefited from higher turnout among those who voted for him in 2020. He also held an edge over Harris among voters who did not vote four years earlier – a group that was considerably more diverse than those who voted in both elections.

As a result, if all Americans eligible to vote in 2024 had cast ballots, the overall margin in the popular vote likely would not have been much different.

I know a northerner who is virulently an anti-monarchist. His whole family is.

 
 
 
 
 
 

The singular of data in Latin is datum, but in English it's data. It is a mass noun where it's not easy to break it into individual, countable pieces. Something like sand is almost never represented in ite plural form of sands.

 
 

I've been rewatching Slow Horses. I remember that feeling I had during season 2 when it clicked for me. It just felt like there was something going on under the surface. And if you're paying attention, you could just smell it. Season 1 wasn't bad, it just didn't suck me in. It just felt like they were trying to show you how smart the show makers in addition to telling a smart and subtle story. Season 2 did away with that pretense and introduced some smart, subtle baddies.
