What's this from?

On Voyager, I see a very efficient plaintext SVG which appears to be in http? I've never cat-ed a SVG before though.

Large Language Models don't reason either. The idea that Artificial General Intelligence will come from LLMs is pure fallacy to drive stock price. When it is eventually announced that some company claims to have achieved AGI via LLMs, it will just be another arbitrary milestone that moves the goalposts more.

I like orgzly. But if you get a keyboard with a Ctrl key you can also run Emacs on android too.

To understand why windows runs better in a vm or container, you'd have to understand how the windows kernels work... And that means understanding how all the code from every previous Windows kernel that is still in windows 11 works. Since they never did a full rewrite. For example you'd have to understand why blue screens of death happen, and how windows telemetry works, what code from windows 3.1 still exist, and what windows 11 really does when it tries to serve you ads. I'm not qualified, and as far as I can tell no one at Microsoft is either.

I know your wrote some kind of gotcha but you really should try it and see for yourself if you actually need windows for anything. At a minimum I guarantee it's more stable.

Organic maps is great bit I wish it had real time traffic data. For that reason I normally use magic earth instead.

It depends on how you define "app" and "free". But for free (as in beer) smartphone apps I really like.

If feeding eggshells, it's best to cook them in the oven a bit and then grinding them with a mortor. 250f for 10 mins should do it.

Oyster shells work well if you can get em. Other bivalves can work too but oyster is easier for the chickens to crack apart. You just want to bake it at like 250F for 10 mins

Here's a few other methods. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/feeding-your-chickens-oyster-shells.77372/

I've not actually benchmarked it. Although others have and I couldn't really tell you why but windows spends a lot less time and resources trying to manage itself when it's in a VM or container. It's just much snapier and even when passing in a GPU to play games it preforms well.

Safest thing to do is run windows only in a VM or container with Linux as the host OS and pass the hardware required in. Windows actually runs better this way and can't mess with your Linux install.

I've been boycotting X.com since musk purchased it. When he did, it stopped being Twitter anyway, even before the official name change. Infact it was good he changed the name, as now there is a clear marker that it's not the same thing it was. The way he treated his employees at Tesla was enough to tell me that musk does not care about workers, or contracts, or even morality in general. So when he showed his true colors by buying the US presidency and performing a Nazi salute I was not surprised.

I also boycott all meta products, truth social and all things related to trump and various news outlets, resellers, manufactures, food producers, countries, and non open source projects.

That being said, I think the idea of forcing a ban on links to a domain at the community or instance level is wrong. I don't want to give any of these companies web traffic but the user should have the final say in what they boycott and what they view is a reputable source. At the most, the community or instance should tag links from domains with some sort of flair to indicate caution of some kind. And implement bots to help provide alternative sources.

Users should be able to block domains, users are free to down vote things that disagree with them, and bots could be used to provide alternative links to archived postings just as they can do to YouTube videos.

The biggest issue is that now X.com and truth social will be the only or at least the breaking source for some more important world news. And if trump declares martial law, declares himself emperor, decides to send all the "woke" people to concentration camps, or any other crazy thing that might make me decide to finally pack up and flee the country, I need to see that at the source, even if it's just a screenshot with an archived link before I uproot my family to avoid being stuck in a 1930s Germany situation.

For the community itself, we need to view things at the source too if a decision that one of these companies make is announced on a boycotted domain or product so that the workers of those companies can understand the harm that is happening to them. Again this could reduce web traffic with screenshots and archive links.

Tldr: Users should boycott what they feel they should when they are able to. However information should not be boycotted, especially not arbitrary. Users need to know when something important effects them, or will harm them directly and might need to verify the source themselves. Blocks should not happen at the instance or community level, but at the user level. Links to questionable sources should be down voted, flaired, and replied to with screenshots and archival links. However the user should have the final say in what they click.
