You got my hopes up.

I don't wish Alex anything but a long life after a hopefully complete rehabilitation of his sociopsthic habits.

But I do have a nice drink set aside for my own enjoyment on the day that I'm convinced Alex will stop harming others.

I don't have any particularly strict rule about how I get convinced he is done hurting people. I suspect I'll see it in the obituaries rather than an op-ed. But I'm open to either.

Alex doesn't seem likely to fix his life, but he also looks like he doesn't cares well for his health...so I do have that drink near the front of the cabinet.

Oh well. My nice drink can wait. Maybe I'll open it to celebrate his reform yet. Like Alice, I try to believe six impossible things before breakfast.

It won't be a problem, because companies are taking the risks of AI seriously, and compensating employees at every level well enough to ensure each employee takes proper precautions.

I imagine "enough" feels different bankrupting a casino.

Free markets hurt capitalists.

Fucking communists and their free markets and open competition! None of that for us, please.

Yes, it's the people who put in decades of hard work, not the cocaine snorting golden parachute executives, costing US auto makers their chance to compete. That might be it.

Edit: If only there were some way for citizens united to do something to help those poor executives.

The story is funny because the squirrell is dead.

I'm glad to hear it.

I have a friend Jody reminds me of, and I appreciate that he's still around.

Is that the one The Onion now owns?

Feels like this could happen...

"I was trying to save him, dammit! I was desperate to save him..."

F-Droid is great.

Aurora is more effort than Google Play, but I find Aurora so much more honest about tracking technologies in each app.

Regarding sandboxing, I think so, but installing an app on GrapheneOS is already so much better than on any other operating system.

I just install apps normally and don't give them any permission I don't feel like they need.

If I realize why an app needs some permission, later - I can adjust the permissions and try again.

 

I updated the closet under my stairs again today.

It's too small to be terribly useful, and my house is old enough to need frequent repairs.

So the under stairs closet is for tool storage.

Today I added wall hooks to keep my tool bags off the floor.

I'm trying to convince myself this will magically make me turn the corner and keep this closet responsibly organized. I'm failing.

But not having to bend down too far to pick up my tool bag should be nice.
