I have neither the crayons nor the inclination to explain it to you.

How is that different from Spotify producing their own AI-gen music? Seems like that’s 3-4 minutes of listening that otherwise would’ve been spent listening to an artist.

“Thomson Reuters, best known for its media outlet and legal research tools, provides an investigative tool to immigration enforcers. Its Minnesota employees want that to stop.”

It’s an interesting metaphor and makes for a good read.

“At this scale, downstream risks include account takeovers, targeted phishing, credit fraud, SIM swaps, and long-tail privacy harms. Industry-wide, the case underlines how third-party identity vendors have become critical infrastructure and can become single points of catastrophic failure,” our team explained."

Wouldn’t Username + Password + SIM = 2FA password reset?

How’s this compare to Obsidian or Joplin?

Seconded. If true, my paranoia will be justified and prove to be woefully insufficient.

I miss the old days of DA. Countless hours of scrolling to find the perfect wallpaper or art for my TTRPG games. Now I mostly use Patreon or occasionally ArtStation. But it not the same.

In the universe I’m originally from she’s clad in shiny vinyl (yes, please) and her name was Beckinsdale.

I just wish I had the self-awareness and self-control in these moments to choose being authentic. But, alas, I am not in charge. I’m Maggie Simpson pretending she’s steering the car while Marge is actually in control. Honk honk

Yes. I have my Obsidian vaults in a synced folder. There’s a subscription option available from Obsidian for $5 but Syncthing does this just fine. Plus I get a little version control benefit from Syncthing as well. I use one vault for personal notes and another vault for TTRPG notes.

Sounds like my use case except I use Obsidian.

Easily one of the most integral and convenient pieces of software in my use. I’ve got six machines syncing up in various degrees: desktop, laptop, Android, ereader, media server, and laser controller. It along with Tailscale are among first things I install. I’m hoping version 2.0 is as stable as 1 has been. The only trouble I’ve ever had out of was when I was syncing something in my local cloud directory.

I assume this is going to arrive at the solution of “Upgrade to Gemini-supported devices today!” Yeah, no thanks. I wish I could get Home Assistant working with my nest minis.

Kagi if you are willing to pay for the service. I think that’s reasonable but your needs may vary.

This one is a bit hard-won for me. You see I used to be an asshole. It was my brand. I thought “it’s just in my nature”.

Fortunately, I was also a student of religion (mostly because I was a militant atheist. Know your enemy and all that). Studying Buddhism, I began to observe the nature of self. I found enough distance from it to see its transient nature.

I realized being an asshole was a choice and I could just as easily choose otherwise. Soon I began to discover this was true of most character traits.

I’m not saying you don’t have consistent patterns of behavior. I’ll hopefully always be curious and analytical. But for the most part, the way you conduct yourself and where you focus your attention is a choice.

So, if you’re not happy with who you are maybe don’t be so attached to the idea of 'who you are". And if that seems hard, observe what you pay your attention to and try to find the distance between observation and behavior. In that gap lies the choice you make, consciously or not, to be “you”.
