Sure is fun and cool to live in a country where buildings are made to retain heat and there’s no way to fit screens into your windows without talking to 4 sets of people and 3 different specialist tradies.

@travisfw I picked common garden-variety human because the norm isn't normal or neurotypical
Diversity is the norm
@amro true. I wonder if normalcy is even disappearing as an aspect of identity. If that is true, then a whole lot of concepts and movements differentiating from normative behavior are losing relevance.

This is an ongoing pattern, where people seeking extraordinarily important jobs that require judgement and independence can't pass the most basic litmus test for supporting American democracy

Our attempt to fix the hinges of the Thinkpad X13 I bought failed for now. The LCD bezel needs to be removed in order to replace the hinges & Lenovo warns that after removal the bezel cannot be re-used. Yeah we discovered this after dismantling it 🙄 I must say the X13 seems not as easy to fix as other Thinkpads.
Ah well, I'm going to try to find a replacement LCD bezel before we will try to fix the hinges in a new attempt.

@tante I make no claim to know how the man thinks, but I suspect no small part of this is a bit of FOSS realpolitik.
Let's say Linus were to stand firm against use of AI use in the kernel. Commendable.
But then the rate of commits remains stagnant. meanwhile some big institutional downstream kernel (say a consortium of Ubuntu and other for-profit distros) user goes and forks the kernel. Now there's the Linux Foundation kernel (kernel0) and several "AI friendly" kernels (kernelPrime) that get features added in more rapidly, customizable branches (kernel Lite, kernel Plus etc.) all enabled by rapid AI development. Complete with Ai induced sec vulns and just... bloat and shit.
I'm not entirely sure that landscape is better.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way excusing it. But I can sortof understand it. The "Adapt or die" mentality.
What a very long day. You can see how easy it is to get swept along in work flotsam. That feeling of stress and/or pressure that comes from WHAT IF THE THING ISN'T DONE ON TIME or YOU HAVEN'T USED THE SYSTEM PROPERLY allowing your inputs to be turned into data points to be TRACKED. Chill out everyone I'm worth about 5 people on my worst day. Now give me a goddamned kiss and make me a sandwich and prepare my phone. I'm going in.
@TheBreadmonkey That’s the attitude, my friend. ✊🏼
So far my journey with jj https://www.jj-vcs.dev/latest/ is an interesting one. I realize how deeply engrained git is in my head, and it is quite freeing to let some of that go and just trust that jj has all the state I want.
I hope it catches on, doing plain git already feels cumbersome.
@monkeydom Hmm after a brief look / comparison I don't feel the described scenarios in which jj shines apply to my general git workflow. At least I haven't found myself wishing many things that jj seems to address in a long long time. I kept my git workflow pretty lean and clean and very rarely run into cumbersome annoyances.
What are the standout workflow improvements for you?

There are 24 hyperscale data centre applications in Scotland.
If they're all built they'll consume over 1.5 times the peak energy demand of the entire country.
We urgently need a pause to develop a national approach that works for people and planet, not just tech billionaires.
