Can the Internet Archive claim that it’s developing it’s own AI and should have rights to scan everything and serve it to “customers?”

A certain alabaster fortress near me encourages you to use an AI when ordering at the drive thru. It’s terrible. It had the hardest time decoding my order of “a number one with cheese.” I hate that this is the direction the industry is moving.

Same. Registered it 2005.

I am loving the InkHUD, if for no other reason than the single button navigation. It makes the device much more usable without pulling my phone out.

Also, booting for the first time, you’re presented with “tips” that explain the new interface… Which is genius.

I’ve got a Heltec Wireless Paper and can report back tomorrow if you’re interested.

Mine is running on a HP 600 G1 Micro Computer Mini Tower PC. Right now, less than $80 from Bezos. It’s over powered for Nextcloud alone, but I’ve also got other services running on it, including Jellyfin.

It zips along quite nicely, but I’ve also followed the guides for tuning the server for best performance.

This is so exciting!

The Guardians of Childhood series has a few chapters that are printed in “dark mode.”

They are slowly pulling out of the Android there too. They’ve deprecated the Amazon shopping app on the fire tablets. Now, selecting that app will open the stock browser to the Amazon homepage. Likewise, there used to be a Amazon Photos app that had decent storage and would sync photos across devices. Now, if you want to look at local photos, you use the gallery app. If you want to look at cloud photos, you use the website.

I don’t know if this is part of their switchover to Vega OS or if it’s just cost saving.

I have yet to find a low calorie sweetener that doesn’t bother my digestive system. My wife, who lives on diet Pepsi, doesn’t believe me.

I miss Liftoff

Roddenberry wrote lyrics for the TOS theme song so he could claim half of the song’s royalties and less money would be paid to the composer Alexander Courage.

When I started with Linux, I started with vim because the tutorials I was working off used vi and vim. Once I started with vim and learned the commands, I wasn’t going to switch to something else… there’s a joke somewhere in there about not knowing how to exit… but I’m not making it.

If I was going to write documentation now for a Linux newbie, I’d probably pick nano to start with.

Yeah. This is one of the breakaway groups from when the Episcopal Church started ordaining women in the 1970s. Fun fact: the “Anglican Catholic Church” was one of the names considered for the Episcopal Church when it was founded.

It’s interesting to see the contrast between his remarks and that of Bishop Budde.

At least it’s following the “every other” rule for Star Trek Movies. Final Frontier was awful. Undiscovered County was great. Generations has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 47 while First Contact is at 93. See my table below. Now that we’ve gotten a bad one out of the way, I’d watch four to six movies with the SNW Crew.

This was the last one I was waiting for!

His name was Luigi Mangione.

What’s the name of the Benny Hill theme song?
