Looks like roughly a dozen or two (from a quick check) as far as actual bookmarks go. I use most of them, though there’s a few I should probably prune at this point. I have a lot of tabs in tab groups instead though (500-ish?). That works better for me with frequent screen sharing for work calls (keeping URL bar suggestions restricted to bookmarks only), and matches my way of thinking about projects I’m working on better as well.

I also save pages with SingleFile that I want to preserve for future reference instead of bookmarking – no point hoping they’ll continue to be online and accessible when I can just keep my own copy locally… Looks like I’ve archived roughly 200 or so pages in the last year like that.

“Getting by” or “carrying on” assuming I don’t want to invite deeper discussion of my issues.

Last time I talked to them, they used Zoom.

My medical provider started doing that when I last had a video conference with them, and I declined to allow the use of AI. They took no issue with that – didn’t even bring it up. It’s very unlikely that your provider will care that you declined either. I recommend saving your energy for other problems and dealing with this later in the unlikely event that they do actually make an issue of it.

Seems to just be a meme like the void cat frenzy a while back – that is, people posting their pet photos with a title saying it isn’t AI – and more and more people just keep piling on. :p

This post might have started it?

If there’s any more to it than that, then I’m out of the loop too.

Yes. Have done so several times, and have had people come up and talk to me out of the blue as well. Sometimes it has gone well. I’ve had a few good conversations with random people on long distance transport (planes, trains, and such) when I struck up conversations with whoever ended up in the seat next to me, and a few times (more rarely) in grocery stores when I’m having trouble finding something (or vice versa). e.g. got asked about uses for unusual ingredients I was having trouble finding and traded some recipe tips.

Usually when other people come up to me they just want me to give them money, or join their religion though.

[X] Doubt

They would probably make more money if they’d just put the shows up for sale for direct download as soon as they air.

Seriously, it’s 2026 for fucks sake. Why can’t I just go to the studio’s website and pay them a dollar (or whatever) to download an MP4?! I can understand the old conservative idiots running old studios with old stupid practices, but why is NO ONE doing this? Especially as studios keep going out of business and reforming? Have they never seen Steam and GOG for game sales? Bandcamp for music?

…rant rant rant…

minimal inaccuracies

I (mostly) liked the show, but conflating the physical compression of a blackhole with data compression really grated on me.

All of them? No. I can remember some details of a lot of them, and some of them very well, but there’s others – especially from when I was very young – that I no longer have a good full mental map of.

I definitely do not remember the layout of all my schools. I moved a lot and some of these are just disconnected fragments of areas to me now. I have no idea how my classroom and the cafeteria were connected in the school I was at in 3rd grade, for example, and I’m struggling to even remember how I got home from school then – even though I do remember taking the bus to school at that age, and I remember some of the places I had to wait to catch the bus home when I was even younger than that… It’s strange what sticks in memory and what doesn’t, sometimes.

CITY is not on CR – or, at least, it wasn’t when I was looking for it last year.

Wikipedia has it listed as licensed by Amazon Prime Video. (I expect most people just raised the Jolly Roger though…)

I’ve been using the HTML only version of DuckDuckGo as my default since Google made JS mandatory to run searches. It works ok for most of the simple queries I make. (e.g. looking something up from the Python docs, MDN, etc.) I resort to Google still for the stuff it completely flubs.

Gone from probably 99% Google + 1% of other to maybe something like 95% DDG + 5% other (mostly Google).

I haven’t seen compelling enough evidence to believe in the supernatural.

That said, we do seem to be well on our way to engineering ghost-like phenomenon. People will set up LLMs and generative AI systems that imitate dead people, if they haven’t already…

No ghosts IRL? No problem! We’ll make ghosts!

Thanks Humanity. 🙄️

As others have noted, you can use the mount command from the terminal. On Mint, you should also be able to use the Disks utility that ships with the OS if you’d prefer to use a GUI.
