The dogs are snorting and snoring on the floor behind me. I wish I could be as relaxed as them all the time. So unbothered.

Look, I know there are a ton of things that I can shit on. The English language isn’t one of them.

Is it odd that we structure our sentences differently than languages like Spanish and French? Sure. But it’s INTERESTING how we adapted that way.

All languages grow this way! We use terms from other languages and they use terms from ours. This is how languages adapt over time!

just received my new o'reilly technical book in the mail but, maybe a misprint? the wood-etching illustration on the front is an unknowable, unnameable ancient beast β€” we have not words in our tongue for such a fathom-defying anticreature. when i open the book, the pages howl impossible octaves

How is it that I felt so happy this weekend at the event, but now feel as if I’m disconnecting from everyone and everything. Like my friendships are slipping out of my hands. The people I loved are just…moving on. I don’t know how to stay with them without feeling like I’m interfering.

Spent the day yesterday at a K-Pop PC trading event with friends, and even went to dinner with some of them after. It was a wonderful day - really rejuvenated my soul. Today, I'm marinating some steaks to cook for dinner and will probably make a batch of chicken and sausage jambalaya for lunches thi

Older woman wearing pink tortoiseshell glasses looking sideways into the camera. She has her hand covering her mouth and has brown hair with grays, and the tips are pink. She looks serious and tired.

The last dregs of my pink hair are almost grown out. All my grays are showing. I don’t like it.

I want my full pink hair back but I’m afraid to bleach/lighten my hair at home, and I don’t have the money to do a full salon treatment now.

Any self-colorists who can talk me through this?

I'm happy to announce I'm launching the world's first HMM or Human Manual Model. Unlike a LLM, a HMM allows users to give tasks to a human via spoken or typed prompts. The human will do the tasks and will even learn how to do the task more efficiently if the task is to be repeated.

Calling the #opensource #FOSS #privacy people out there...

With the announcement that Discord is going to be essentially forcing people to do facial scans to log into their accounts, I'm looking at alternatives.

Can anyone recommend some open-source and privacy-friendly replacements for DIscord?
