I keep hearing about curve, and I saw something about walt.is just the other day… But I’m in the US without access to any of them, so I wouldn’t trust my references.

You seem to be describing an answer engine, which isn’t what I said. It’s really no worse than the last five or so years of Google if you just want links to a topic that you can go and read yourself. It’s fine at that, it’s not good.

Graphene supports NFC, but Google wallet goes out of its way not to work on it.

If you’re in the EU you have other wallet options, in the US you’re pretty much fucked.

I thought I would miss digital wallets way more than I actually do. Bought a slim wallet, carry just what I need, and get all the privacy benefits of not being on mainline android.

This just shifts the problem to a new location. Don’t use it for art, or scaffolding, or code, or concepts, or anything a person gets paid to do or a different person expects a human touch from.

AI is a fine search engine, it doesn’t need to eat the world.

It’s not a you problem, it’s just a bit of casual racism that slipped through the cracks; insidious because most people don’t even realize it’s a problem.

We called it theming before that other term got popular, I never saw a reason to stop.

Really wish we would drop “ricing” from the vernacular.

Now do Ring cams.

Trying to prove this point to myself and others, I asked Claude to tell me how to add a drain line for a robot vacuum to the wash room sink.

Claude told me to drill a hole into the trap arm and add the line there. Which would, in case you’re not aware, be the worst place to put it. You never do this.

Drain lines get added to the tail pipe coming down from the sink, because if you add it to the trap arm (from the p-trap to the wall) you bypass the water seal keeping sewer gasses from infiltrating your home.
