Law of disposable infrastructure: The more temporary a fix is intended to be, the more likely it is to become load-bearing permanent infrastructure

Before:

     "Hey Google, call my wife"

                           ------> Immediately calls wife

With Gemini:

     "Hey Google, call my wife"

                           --50%-> "Is that XXXXXX?"

                           --25%-> Immediately calls wife

                           --20%-> "I'm sorry, I couldn't find a contact saved as 'wife'" 

                           --05%-> Immediately calls someone different from my wife

I really enjoy having almost 2 decades of my music listening history to play with + I use a couple different streaming services as well as vinyl and local playback, so it's nice to see my overall habits.

Really cool stuff, but I really don't understand the dynasties viz. For example, Kunti somehow has her sons to the left of, right of, and above her, making the relationship unclear.

I'm a big Kate fan as well, used it for years on all my Linux systems. Recently I got a little fed up with vscode lagging on large files, I bit the bullet and installed Kate on my windows 11 work PC as well.

I'm also self hosting miniflux, along with Reactflux to get a nice webui. I use Read You on android, and then Reactflux in a browser anywhere else.

I'll have to check out karakeep. I'm running linkwarden right now but it's not really doing it for me.

Most users don't need any of the premium features, so the point may be moot, but it's worth mentioning that bitwarden increased their premium tier prices by 100% this year (10/y to 20/y). https://bitwarden.com/blog/bitwarden-launches-enhanced-premi...

I like the look of this, especially the idea of mixing the visual with the auditory. My guitar teacher perpetually has me on sight singing apps to try to develop my ear, but having a more immediate connection between ear training and the fretboard could be really useful to me. I'll definitely give this a shot.

Although I've been an Inoreader user over the last few years, this year I switched to Miniflux. I felt like features/cost ratio for Inoreader finally tipped away from what I was interested in paying. Migrating to Miniflux was genuinely very easy-- spin up the docker compose, export OPML from Inoreader, import OPML to Miniflux. I use tsdproxy and tailscale funnels to get access to the web endpoint.

While I started out just using the webapp, I quickly discovered that there large number of Miniflux compatible applications. I eventually settled on:

- Read You on my Android Phone and Tablet https://github.com/ReadYouApp/ReadYou

- Reactflux (web) on my windows laptop https://github.com/electh/ReactFlux

- RSSGuard on my linux desktop https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard

- Reeder classic on iPad (I already owned this, might as well keep using it)

- PoweReader on my work iPhone https://powereader.app/

One neat thing about Miniflux is that it supports a number of APIs, including Fever and Google Reader. As long as your frontend works with one of these, you get a seamless experience. This level of choice is actually something I'm really enjoying-- I get a very native experience on whatever platform I use, as opposed to using the Inoreader app/website on each platform.

Honestly I thought they might be even more expensive than this 5%-20%, it's good to see that it's not a 100% more expensive. While it seems we've learned some lessons about supply chain resiliency, I'm sure there's a number that puts the brakes on this thing.

Nvidia is really the one hurdle preventing me from fully embracing firefox-- I've had a lot of trouble getting hardware acceleration on Wayland with Nvidia drivers. At this point, I'm not sure if it's a configuration issue or if it doesn't work at all.

I did appreciate the discussion on the actual cost. I've been hearing a lot of that $5M number being thrown around, and while it definitely felt unlikely, I didn't have the context. In particular [1] linked from the post was really helpful.

If this was the case, wouldn't the VPN work? Reddit OP said that it didn't.

> Even VPN doesn't work. Because Microsoft has linked Minecraft to your Microsoft account and it's hardcoded into it that I am iranian. I tried VPN, and it still said it's banned in my country.

One awkward thing is that Google's Gemini app is currently the third result searching Gemini on the Play Store-- after some bitcoin related applications. The namespace is occupied.

I similarly got a whole data science MS (paid for my by employer) but still remain at my developer job. Sort of a combination of the data science field looking a lot less promising than 3-4 years ago when I started the degree & more upward mobility if I don't change fields now.

My father recently got one for a low-powered, always-on workstation that he can sync stuff to. It looks like these run the gamut of recent AMD cards, so I thought they looked promising.

I asked all of our friends to upload to a Google Photos shared album. Most of my friends use Android and most of my wife's friends use Apple-- didn't hear any complaints about Google Photos. Our experience was that most people have a google account anyways and are familiar enough with Google Photos.

The people I asked for advice said that they'd prefer to download Google Photos to upload/view photos vs. a third-party service that didn't require them to download anything (i.e. Synology photo request).

> Especially that productivity boost when every one starts leaving, and I _was not able_ to finished the smallest one of my tasks planned for the day 'til then most of the time.

This is super true for me as well, to the point where I structure my day around this. I'm lucky to have a workplace with flexible hours and enough seniority that nobody complains when I roll in at 10, which gives me a few "quiet hours" from 4-6 as others trickle out.

Agreed. I think this looks like a lot of fun and could make reading during long flights a lot more comfortable, but $350 on a pre-order is a little steep for me. I can't imagine getting nearly enough utility out of this to justify that price. Maybe there's a category of person for which this is a hit.
