"After watching hours upon hours of this footage, what stands out to me is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the arrogance. The surefootedness that this was the correct thing to do despite no experience in government.

The presumption that they were entitled to use their own uninformed judgement to cut funds to things that they don’t personally value but do positively impact others.

Even by their own metrics of merit based activity, this campaign was a failure."

Pětice mladých vývojářů z plzeňského start-upu Bell Hat Games vyvinula hru na mobilní zařízení, která pomůže dětem i dospělým s ADHD. Je vyvinutá tak, aby přirozeně rozvíjela řízenou pozornost hráčů. Více sdělují spolutvůrci Matěj Hes a Jan Purkart.

So AGENTS.md is just the human-readable documentation the AI dudebros have been refusing to include in README.md until now, because they claim that the code is "self documenting" and everyone else must be stupid if they can't figure things out.

The hardest thing for the media to wrap its hands around over the last year is that
⭐️Donald Trump has no plan
— for anything, ever.

Time and again, national pundits and the White House press corps invent a logical Donald Trump who sets, announces, and later “changes” real “policies” or “plans,”

failing to convey what is clear to anyone who is actually following events closely:

⚠️In each public appearance and social media post, the Mad King Donald Trump spouts a string of words,
devoid of meaning or purpose,
that may or may not represent anything at all.

🔥Every single thing he says may, at any given time, be taken as an official hard-line policy of the US government,
the opening gambit to a long flexible negotiation,
-- or a random pronouncement that will be never be mentioned again.

It’s impossible to know in real-time which is which — especially so if you’re actually in the US government and in charge of translating his words into actions and plans

Google Mail / "GMail" has no fewer than nine settings for "Smart Features and Personalization", e.g., Gemini. I have these all turned off in order to prevent Gemini ingesting my emails. To do this, you now have to opt out of benign machine-learning or even pattern-matching-based features, like sorting promotional emails from regular ones or spellcheck.

Despite this, as of today, Google is offering a Gemini smart compose feature on all my emails, despite me having turned off smart compose.

"Get help writing email… Gemini can help you write a new email or refine one you've written"

At the start of this year I decided to relocate.

Not as an expat. As an immigrant.

That distinction matters. Most resources for people leaving the U.S. are built around one goal: replicating the American experience somewhere cheaper or sunnier. That's not what I'm trying to do. And finding support for life beyond the supremacy myth has already revealed how few structures exist for someone leaving the U.S. who isn't trying to take the U.S. with them.

New Zoom background.
I recorded a short video of my aquarium using my fishcam. Then uploaded it to Zoom as a background. (Zoom allows video background while Google Meet only has still pictures)
Now I get to see my fishes during meetings!
Do you think this would be distracting to the other meeting attendees?

Right now the video loops at odd timing 😅 one of the fish would suddenly disappeared like vfx magic.
