Finally got sick of all the Reddit UI changes, so started an @exedev VM and asked it to create an account and make a scraper for the content I check. Now I have an ultra lightweight, dense, mobile UI. Related

My Chrome has required me to force quit whenever I open it and then reopen it in order for it to load for almost a year now. This is not a dig at the Chrome team. Chrome is among the most used software in the world. What this indicates to me is that: software is hard. Related

Unexpected Codex use case: set up an Android handheld for me. @johnvoorhees got me into this: enable USB debugging and just let the agent rip. Codex installed Cocoon frontend on my AYN Thor, transferred all my ROMs, and is currently configuring emulators, mods, and other apps. It's just working in the background and cross-referencing YouTube/Reddit sources to set everything up, so I can focus on cooking for the family instead. Incredible. @dimillian Related

Reddit blocks VPNs. Reddit also now blocks old.reddit unless you log in. But apparently reddit offers a Tor service? And old.reddit still works fine there? (At this point I only check one subreddit, itself a shadow of its former self.) Related

the best part of Dialectic was observing how meticulous and intentional @jacksondahl is about *his* craft he spent this pod pressing me on every single "why" behind what I do: why quit my job, why longform, why legacy journalism, why AI. the guy asks hard questions!! Quoting @jacksondahl Jasmine Sun quit her tech job to tell the world about what she's seeing up close in Silicon Valley. Dialectic 49: @jasminewsun!

Bought a broken Grizzle-E duo charger on ebay, assuming I could probably figure out how to fix it. The problem was that it was missing the cable between the two boards. Asked @UnitedChargers support for info on how the pins on the two boards should be connected, or to buy a new cable to connect them. They wouldn't help, so a guy on Reddit took photos of his for me. Three wires later and it works perfectly and I can charge both EVs at once. Related

A funny side effect of the crackdown on "AI" scraping is that I keep getting banned from sites for browsing too quickly. I barely use reddit anymore and I still managed to get IP banned for scraping (the error message indicated that I should get in touch with them if I want to do bulk accesses). Related

This might be blasphemy over here, but to support longer/deeper discussions on Mastodon, I think it'd be nice if Mastodon would implement options for non-chronological lists of posts, e.g. similar to reddit's default 'hot" view. Could be as simple as sorting threads based on most recent reply. This could be opt-in and can co-exist with the current chronological view. Related

Co-founder, chairman and chief investment officer of Ritholtz Wealth Management. Hosts the Masters in Business podcast for Bloomberg and wrote How NOT to Invest.
Their words
It is rare that a sports book captures my attention, rarer still when a sports autobiography does. But “Open” delivers a compelling life story superbly told by an athlete. Desire, motivation, and competitive drive him to the the highest levels of professional tennis, but he loses his interest, and was so often unhappy, confused and unfulfilled by his achievements. As an autobiography, it is bluntly honest, sometimes painful, but most of all a fascinating compelling read.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
