Re:AI has fixed my productivity on Wednesday February 18, 2026 @10:10AM (#47061801)
This paragraph made me laugh out loud:

>I’ve settled into an uneasy position: AI for work where the productivity gain justifies the privacy cost, strict boundaries everywhere else. It’s not philosophically clean. It’s just honest.

You'll need pandoc and xelatex

  $ pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex --toc README.md {macro,fix,list,task,malloc1,vector,error,set,malloc2,dynamic,stream1,slog}/README.md -o book.pdf

I definitely remember ( and miss) both uzbl and luakit.
Sorry, somehow I missed that.
AntennaPod

-- Supports Searching

-- Can group subscriptions using tags

-- has got sleep timer (don't know about fading playback)

-- No ads

That's a real bummer. Is there any way the author can prevent this? Can he generate random indexes that don't repeat while keeping this random number generator code public?

As a user of a keyboard driven browser, I hate it. I hope this trend of rendering the whole page on html canvas never catches on.

I thought sociopaths were the people who don't care what other people feel. By your definition, I'm afraid, I always wanted to become a sociopath.

The paper[0] goes into more detail about how the efficiency is calculated (scroll down a bit to see the actual formula).

You think expressing dissent is akin to mental abuse? I think people have every right to express their opinions or dissaproval regardless of how many twitter followers they have.

There is a debian package called 'bsdgames'[0] that contains several simple text-based games for people looking for some ideas.

>actively working to harm the lives of trans people.

That is some exaggeration, unless you have some video of Nina chasing trans people with a machete or similar. I would say she has some dissatisfaction about how transactivism is carried out nowadays and how gender-identity has become a religion.

Nice tool. I just found that if you have fields separated by arbitrary whitespaces, piping that through xargs trims multiple whitespaces into a single whitespace.

```$ echo "words are far apart" | xargs```

Although, it does have its caveats. https://stackoverflow.com/a/12973694
