Shoulda got it sooner
Don't know if this will help assuage your fears: https://www.techradar.com/news/mullvads-no-log-policy-proven-after-police-raid
I've used Mullvad for years, and from what I know, they store almost nothing -- only your randomly generated account number. If you are paying using an anonymous method that's even less to go on.

I think I might just like using the colored square emojis...

I don't really do these... that was tough for me
Endless Sky for me
Neovim Is a highly customizable, modal text editor program. Probably no what you're looking for as far as terninal emulators go, but I use it daily as a near-IDE on desktop. Look into LazyVim for an easy way to get started.
I can second KDE connect--use it between my phone and Manjaro. Can't speak to the other applications because I don't have a use-case for many of their functions on a smart phone myself.
Also looking forward to this week here. Work from home is awesome! I just spent a month and a half on a cross-country (USA) road trip while working the whole time. I'm fortunate for the opportunity to do so--and to visit and crash with friends and family along the way--but I am glad to be home.
My wife and I towed a 5' x 8' U-haul trailer the 2,000+ miles back home from FL to CO, moving our friend's stuff in so he can live with us for a while (he drove back with us in his own car). A really awesome trip in a lot of respects, but stressful to take meetings and try to program on the go. Learned my lesson: two weeks max for a trip like that, or take the PTO.
Am I one of the few who just doesn't use AI at all? I don't have to generate tons of code for work at the moment and brand new projects that I've been given are small--meaning I wouldn't necessarily use it to generate starter boilerplate. I have coworkers that love copilot or spend much longer prompting ChatGPT than they would if they wrote code themselves. A majority of my time is spent modelling the problem, gathering rejuirements, researching others' solutions online (likely this step could be better AI-assisted?), not actually implementing a solution in code.
Anyway, I'm not super anti-AI in software development, and I see where it could be useful. Maybe it just isn't for me yet. The current hype around it as well as the attitude of big-tech exceptionalism ("AI can salve all our problems") feels a bit like a bubble, at least regarding the current generation of LLMs and ML
I thought the same and just rolled with it. What was the whole jean thing anyway?
My wife got me onto a comedy podcast called Bananas on the This is Exactly Right network--it's usually really funny. We both also like Dungeons & Daddies which is a Dungeons and Dragons improv comedy type podcast. Just lay in bed and laugh
Feel exactly this... Sometimes you just still want one randomly. But 99.999% of the time do not think about it at all anymore
How I reverse engineered an ESP32-based smart home device to gain remote control access and integrate it with Home Assistant.

This was a fascinating and informative read. I hope the author makes progress on "creating an open-source project to de-cloud and debug smart home products"; I would love to contribute to something like that!
*sigh can't have any fun in the DOT I guess
- I turned my old desktop into a home server, which let me cancel some streaming services.. and I set up an rpi4 as a kodi server.
- Signed up for Firefox Relay (had a holiday sale) to have email masks and a proxy phone number, which should help with spam & marketing crap.
- Stopped using Reddit in favor of lemmy (which I hope to contribute to this year)
- Gonna have to find a replacement for mint, since it's dying this month
Thank you for this chuckle hehe
My thoughts exactly. DRM has rone way off the deep end
What do you mean by "doesn't read from the same directory"? Is part of your application's function to read in data from files in your project's directory tree?
Without seeing the directory structure of your project, or some more actual code samples its hard to understand how to help π
That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work...

First saw Andrea Kowch's work at a portraiture exhibition at the MOCA in Jacksonville, FL years ago. You can see more of her work on her blog
