It’s so disappointing. Now the next person to write valid, honest critiques will have to overcome this author’s selfishness to get attention.

I think you’re right that Canadians and Mexicans know this and still want to be friends, but it doesn’t matter. The United States has officially and democratically become hostile to them, and they’re going to have to change the way they think about the relationship. An America that can’t be trusted reliably simply can’t be trusted.

Edit: But this doesn’t mean further conflict is inevitable! The sane citizens of each country will just need to work around the problem.

I don’t think they feel betrayed by Trump, but rather the United States. One of their closest friends just declared economic war on them for no reason. The shattering of trust isn’t less painful because they had advanced notice.

Great job on this site! Thanks for doing this.

• Dear Esther

I’ve been curious about the game for a while, and noticed you recommend it.

You’ve already given me a game and I don’t expect a second! Thanks again.

Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders has been on my wishlist for a while, so that’s my entry for today!

Thanks so much for doing this.

Thanks for posting these! I personally like being spammed with reminders.

Thanks for doing this! It looks like Scorn has been claimed.

This makes a lot of sense! I’m going to give it another shot with these insights in mind. I think if I frame it as a future-facing tool like you describe I’ll avoid a lot of my previous mistakes.

Thanks for explaining :)

This is really helpful, thanks!

I think I need more practice with knowing when to create a node. In the past, every single entry would look like this:

I went to [Alice] birthday party and met [Bob]. We talked about [clouds].

And that got very cumbersome. I like your suggestion of using back links to create a better summary document.

Got it, I see what you mean. Thanks for this!

I keep failing to make Zettelkasten and org-roam work for me. Do you use a single knowledge base for your whole life, with millions of tags and pages? Or should I be making separate directories for each project? Is the “daily journal” the best place to put everything, with well tagged entries?

You don’t have to answer all of those!

NieR: Automata

For some reason this New Scientist cartoon lives in my head. Maybe because it challenges the way I think about the future? Or maybe it’s just cute.

Thanks so much for doing this! I almost forgot to enter.

I won’t be using these features, but I’m not sure there’s cause for concern. The implementation seems very sensible and legitimately privacy-centric. The LLM runs locally and is meant as an very basic email proofreader. The crypto wallet is a likely an extension of the password management tech they’ve already developed, with transaction features that some people care about.

I can see why some people want these features, and I’m glad there are new alternatives.

What a weird situation. I suppose it’s nice those workarounds exist, even if they’re not ideal.

Interesting! I assume it involves a smart plug and an automation script that monitors battery level?

Wow, Graphene really doesn’t have charging limits?

I assume this is the discussion you referred to, and I think it broke my trust in the project.

Edit: As far as I can tell, many of the frustrating parts of that thread are from random posters and not devs. I’m still annoyed that such a basic feature is considered controversial.

Thanks for this! I’ve spent several dozen hours trying to get SteamVR working well on Linux, and finally gave up.

Is the Monado experience close enough to Windows to be usable? Are you aware of any major tradeoffs?

At this point I accept that Valve probably can’t compete with the billions poured into the Meta Quest 3, but I’m glad they understand there’s an enthusiastic audience for whatever they do next.

Correct, here’s a guide to enabling Wayland.

I’ve never had OP’s problem, but another avenue I’d consider is to set display settings in the nvidia-settings app, which can be opened with a GUI from the terminal. These settings are separate from those in the normal settings menu, in ways I don’t totally understand.
