I had the same experience on the east coast-- farmers market eggs continued to be $5-$8/doz (depending on size) even as the normal white eggs raced to $10. I think the "conventional wisdom" was that these small farmers weren't hit by the flu in the way that the big industrial farmers were, and that their living conditions made them hardier or less susceptible. I guess I now assume that these small farms relying on direct sales were simply oblivious to the bidding shenanigans.
I've been using herdr for a couple of weeks. The only real advantage is that it makes the agent status glanceable in the sidebar, which can be nice if you don't want to cycle through your tmux panes to check if something's blocked or complete. Other than that, it's kind of just tmux (which is nice, I like tmux).
Law of disposable infrastructure: The more temporary a fix is intended to be, the more likely it is to become load-bearing permanent infrastructure
Before:
"Hey Google, call my wife"
------> Immediately calls wife
With Gemini:
"Hey Google, call my wife"
--50%-> "Is that XXXXXX?"
--25%-> Immediately calls wife
--20%-> "I'm sorry, I couldn't find a contact saved as 'wife'"
--05%-> Immediately calls someone different from my wife
I really enjoy having almost 2 decades of my music listening history to play with + I use a couple different streaming services as well as vinyl and local playback, so it's nice to see my overall habits.
Really cool stuff, but I really don't understand the dynasties viz. For example, Kunti somehow has her sons to the left of, right of, and above her, making the relationship unclear.
My company-provided work phone is a base model iPhone, I'd definitely put it in a performance class lower than a flagship from any brand. Certainly not low-end, but I think mid-range would be a fair characterization.
I'm a big Kate fan as well, used it for years on all my Linux systems. Recently I got a little fed up with vscode lagging on large files, I bit the bullet and installed Kate on my windows 11 work PC as well.
I'm also self hosting miniflux, along with Reactflux to get a nice webui. I use Read You on android, and then Reactflux in a browser anywhere else.
I'll have to check out karakeep. I'm running linkwarden right now but it's not really doing it for me.
I like the look of this, especially the idea of mixing the visual with the auditory. My guitar teacher perpetually has me on sight singing apps to try to develop my ear, but having a more immediate connection between ear training and the fretboard could be really useful to me. I'll definitely give this a shot.
Although I've been an Inoreader user over the last few years, this year I switched to Miniflux. I felt like features/cost ratio for Inoreader finally tipped away from what I was interested in paying. Migrating to Miniflux was genuinely very easy-- spin up the docker compose, export OPML from Inoreader, import OPML to Miniflux. I use tsdproxy and tailscale funnels to get access to the web endpoint.
While I started out just using the webapp, I quickly discovered that there large number of Miniflux compatible applications. I eventually settled on:
- Read You on my Android Phone and Tablet https://github.com/ReadYouApp/ReadYou
- Reactflux (web) on my windows laptop https://github.com/electh/ReactFlux
- RSSGuard on my linux desktop https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard
- Reeder classic on iPad (I already owned this, might as well keep using it)
- PoweReader on my work iPhone https://powereader.app/
One neat thing about Miniflux is that it supports a number of APIs, including Fever and Google Reader. As long as your frontend works with one of these, you get a seamless experience. This level of choice is actually something I'm really enjoying-- I get a very native experience on whatever platform I use, as opposed to using the Inoreader app/website on each platform.
Honestly I thought they might be even more expensive than this 5%-20%, it's good to see that it's not a 100% more expensive. While it seems we've learned some lessons about supply chain resiliency, I'm sure there's a number that puts the brakes on this thing.
Nvidia is really the one hurdle preventing me from fully embracing firefox-- I've had a lot of trouble getting hardware acceleration on Wayland with Nvidia drivers. At this point, I'm not sure if it's a configuration issue or if it doesn't work at all.
If this was the case, wouldn't the VPN work? Reddit OP said that it didn't.
> Even VPN doesn't work. Because Microsoft has linked Minecraft to your Microsoft account and it's hardcoded into it that I am iranian. I tried VPN, and it still said it's banned in my country.

One awkward thing is that Google's Gemini app is currently the third result searching Gemini on the Play Store-- after some bitcoin related applications. The namespace is occupied.
I similarly got a whole data science MS (paid for my by employer) but still remain at my developer job. Sort of a combination of the data science field looking a lot less promising than 3-4 years ago when I started the degree & more upward mobility if I don't change fields now.
My father recently got one for a low-powered, always-on workstation that he can sync stuff to. It looks like these run the gamut of recent AMD cards, so I thought they looked promising.
I asked all of our friends to upload to a Google Photos shared album. Most of my friends use Android and most of my wife's friends use Apple-- didn't hear any complaints about Google Photos. Our experience was that most people have a google account anyways and are familiar enough with Google Photos.
The people I asked for advice said that they'd prefer to download Google Photos to upload/view photos vs. a third-party service that didn't require them to download anything (i.e. Synology photo request).
> Especially that productivity boost when every one starts leaving, and I _was not able_ to finished the smallest one of my tasks planned for the day 'til then most of the time.
This is super true for me as well, to the point where I structure my day around this. I'm lucky to have a workplace with flexible hours and enough seniority that nobody complains when I roll in at 10, which gives me a few "quiet hours" from 4-6 as others trickle out.
Agreed. I think this looks like a lot of fun and could make reading during long flights a lot more comfortable, but $350 on a pre-order is a little steep for me. I can't imagine getting nearly enough utility out of this to justify that price. Maybe there's a category of person for which this is a hit.
More along the lines of what I was expecting to see here.
I've very happily left a Mac touchpad. Not once but twice. While the gesture support in the OS is nice, I don't like how big the touchpads are. I feel like it regularly gets in the way of typing. I'm okay with the size of the trackpad on the Framework laptop, but it could have been smaller. I really miss my old Thinkpad trackpad with the physical buttons between the trackpad and spacebar, which I felt was really usable.
"Ajar source" is definitely the funniest take I've seen on this. Kudos, Bryan.
> In other news, Richard Stallman's head has exploded.
I'm honestly not sure about this one. If I'm recalling Stallman's takes correctly, I think he's fine with "Ajar source" as long as the source is open to Red Hat's customers. I remember him saying something along those lines when explaining how he expects developers to make a living-- something along the lines of it being okay to charge money for your product, but then your customer should have [some list of freedoms].
Maybe the telemetry does it though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you wanted to make some kind of argument about what's going on with RHEL, I'd hear you out... but Fedora is and remains a community project. While Red Hat certainly has a strong voice in the team meetings, development continues to occur in the open. And while it is true that the Fedora project is considering adding telemetry to Fedora 40, they're openly discussing what kinds of telemetry are ethical before even committing to adding any telemetry. It's a stretch to equate this immediately to Microsoft Windows.
> We believe an open source community can ethically collect limited aggregate data on how its software is used without involving big data companies or building creepy tracking profiles that are not in the best interests of users. Users will have the option to disable data upload before any data is sent for the first time. Our service will be operated by Fedora on Fedora infrastructure, and will not depend on Google Analytics or any other controversial third-party services. And in contrast to proprietary software operating systems, you can redirect the data collection to your own private metrics server instead of Fedora’s to see precisely what data is being collected from you, because the server components are open source too.[1]
While I'd personally love to see opt-in rather than opt-out telemetry, I believe in the value that telemetry can provide to projects hoping to improve their software/OS offerings. I'm glad to see open discussion on the subject of how to do so ethically.

+1 on this, I've got a 11th gen 13" Framework running Archlinux. As with yours, everything works out of the box (and I do use hibernate). Waiting to see some reviews o the new AMD boards before I make the leap (hopefully sometime next year, or maybe the next AMD generation).
Really looking forward to future generations of foldables when the price is closer to $1000 than $2000. I've had my Flip 3 for almost 2 years now and it's been a blast; I'm genuinely interested in the larger foldable size, but the price is still too steep for me.
