You can now ask Bard about youtube videos. A cocktail recipe gets turned into >10 minute video, sprinkled with ads, protected by adblocker-blockers, to be digested by AI, analyzed via state of the art cpu arrays, to extract the original cocktail recipe for further marketing. Collectively, we are an amazingly dumb species. https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/22/23972636/bard-youtube-extension-update-search-video-content

Omnivore, the open-source (mostly self-hostable!) read-it-later service and app, is absolutely brilliant. Hands down the best I’ve ever used. Throw out Pocket, say goodbye to Instapaper, say a fond farewell to Wallabag, and go download, support, and use @omnivore@pkm.social.

So I’m doing something insane to save $500 on a new MacBook Pro 14” b/c of Seattle sales tax. I’m taking the train to fucking Portland. Because it’s $70 on the nice train plus maybe $20 in Ubers vs $552 in extra tax. Usually, I let the sales tax thing go but $550 was where I learned the line was for me to instead spend all day on a train.

I've had to write a User Manual for a leadership workshop tomorrow. I gotta tell you that writing "Hi I have severe ADHD, constant tiredness and fogginess from autoimmune issues, and borderline personality disorder. Which means I'm basically easily distracted, sleepy, and highly emotional" doesn't feel like I'm selling myself.

Liked Yours truly on the Changelog, talking dependencies and POSSE
Post details
Was delighted to be interviewed by Jerod on the Changelog for what must be the third time this year. This time, we discuss our approaches to managing dependencies (an evergreen debate), before moving onto discussing the emerging POSSE trend which I seem to have backed myself into with the updates I've made to the design of this website over the past year. Here's an Apple Podcasts link, if that's more your thing.

Tailscale is a wonderful thing but I wish they had a better story for very large organizations than 'everyone lives in one tailnet and surely you can keep one global set of ACLs sorted out'. I regret to inform you etc etc, universities, departments thereof. I like the idea of a single tailnet, but the administration side of things would be a terrible mess.

Hey, speakers! If your talk proposal doesn't say which open source tools you're covering, and your blog is full of proprietary software coverage, I'm going to assume that you're trying to sneak a proprietary SW talk into an OSS conference and reject it. #SpeakerTips

@pdcawley@mendeddrum.org and I do! Well, a USB switch for bouncing between work and personal machine. But it has a noticeable pause when switching, so I have a second keyboard for when I'm mid-sentence in work stuff and want to toot or something. And in the evening I get silly and have both on the personal system. Primary types better, secondary has better media controls. And very occasionally I get confused, start typing on one, and finish typing on the other.
