I’m good enough at guitar to do it professionally. Not my only job but part of my income is playing as a hired gun for local acts and artists touring the region. I play mostly country, a lot of chicken-pickin, bending style telecaster stuff. Been at it over 25 years.

Wezterm has been my daily for years. Has enough extras to let any crazy terminal app work as intended but doesn’t try to do too much.

Tuning in local radio stations while I’m driving through new places can be really cool. Also if you’re a sports fan there might be a ballgame on - good way to entertain yourself for like 3 hours.

Amen to rest stops. Every 2 hours is a good rule of thumb, just to reset your focus if nothing else.

Some time numbers just feel better. :35, :28 good. :24, :17, bad. I can’t explain it. It’s like a color or a sound.

Touch screens on fitness watches is the dumbest shit. I straight up can’t use it while jogging and sweating. I just need a couple real buttons, but good luck finding that.

Why so much purple? Always. This shit is so tired.

Washington’s Apple Health is great. Easy and accessible. The state could definitely expand that to everyone.

What do you want me to do? I’m fucking out there protesting. Shit I’ll be at another rally today. I wish things were different but I’m not a coward and I’m doing what I can. I’m sorry.

I prefer this community.

A bedside sink.

Please say

Damn. Yeah

Careful giving out clues to your age on public forums…

But yeah I’m roughly cdr old.

Spanish and Greek food beats Italian. Heck Polish food is way underrated. Also American pizza is better.

Beck. He did a solo acoustic portion in the middle of the set, which is pretty normal. But while he was playing solo they brought out a massive dinner table ala the last supper behind him. They went all out, bringing platters of food and drinks and everything. His band came back out and sat at the table. And then they played the table…

The food was fake. It was shakers and noise makers and percussion instruments. The glasses were tuned crystal. The dinner was his backing band. It was amazing.

Anyone else see this tour? It was right after Guero.

Kenji Lopez-Alt. His Food Lab cookbook has taught me a ton and he seems like a really good dude.

Why not give a crash course for OP? As I understand it, Federation is just one standard of protocol that can communicate across servers. I think OP is referring to Federated here as both the protocol and the movement away from platforms. I think this is a valid part of growing both Federated protocols, and protocols in general as an alternative to big-tech platforms. The major platforms DO offer hosting in a way. People host their photos libraries on Facebook and Instagram. So a non-platform alternative may interest some.

For hosting - get a private VPS and run your own cloud services. Explore RSS for news feeds, a super OG protocol that podcast feeds still use I think.

Web browsers shouldn’t be federated because the idea there is privacy, security, and ad blocking.

Kindness > assholes usually works for me if I can’t take the time to learn all the nuances but feel like I want to form an opinion.

How the fuck do yall afford houses?

My assumption is everything everywhere on the internet is already assumed to be fair game for spying, scraping, training, whatever.

At this point the interests seem more about serving than gathering information - hence the political games to control specific platforms now.
