Burden of proof is on Astrology claiming to be real.

• AI bad
• Astrology 100% superstitious bullshit

Yeah. Out of curiosity though, how far did you get into it?

(Not that it gets better in this regard or anything)

Well, no. Hopefully NOT the same shit.

Yeah, like 3-4x/week.

This includes things like train tickets, because I refuse to have to have my phone with me.

Sheet music, shopping list, letters to doctors/government offices/…

Pretty well - I took the JLPT N4 yesterday. I know these tests aren’t super meaningful, since they’re all comprehension, no production; I just signed up for it as a form of perspnal motivation back in January.

Anyways, the Grammar/Vocab written parts went very well I think. The listening comprehension… Oof. I know what I’ll have to focus on more.

But… That would force them to provide a great user experience in order to retain users!! That’s an unacceptable burden on the largest companies in the world!!

Yeah. Honestly. For platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, mandate chronological feeds of only people you have followed, paginated at like 30.

I feel like one could legitimately run on this platform at this point.

They saved lifes.

Glad to have cleared that up for you 👍

It’s just a helper. It’s a way for your calendar to ask “uhhh… Should I already know of any calendars…?” and the service going “oh actually yeah, the user configured their email account, hold on, here’s the corresponding calendar”.

That’s just basic functionality. Maybe what’s tripping you up is that it’s a separate service? Because I assume you have nothing against inputting your email into a mail client and a calendar separately.

If so, then for one, it’s not really a difference if the mail app stores this into or the service does; and second, it’s a good thing to have this standardized into a single purpose built service, rather than having each app reimplement this stuff.

CPU and RAM usage is so negligible it’s laughable.

IDK.

It seems like you read something about personal data in the service description and just jumped to the conclusion that this is something nefarious.

How exactly is it bloatware though? Not a KDE user myself, just had a look at the wiki. Seems it’s just a convenience utility to allow you to not have to enter the same things into multiple applications?

This is VERY different from pre-installed apps in your start menu that collect and sell info about you…

Yeah, thinking more about it, I don’t think the term “bloatware” (as it is commonly used) applies here at all.

How do I completely disable it forever?

To answer your question: sudo systemctl mask <servicename>.service

The much more common disable just disables autostart; masking will point the service file at /dev/null, which makes it impossible to load or start the service, even when other services or apps (like the clock widget someone mentioned in the comments) request it.

My coworker starts almost every Teams message either with “Btw I had Claude do…” or “So Claude and I just…”. If I message him first, there’s a 75% chance the message I get back starts with “Hm, I just asked Claude about this, and…”.

All his PR descriptions, commit messages, and comments are clearly “Claude”.

I’m this close to start reviewing his PRs solely through Claude, and starting the review with “Here’s what Claude came up with in review:”.

The only thing holding me back is that this would mean I’d have to use Claude. So… No.

Also, hard disagree.

“average 50-59 year old weighs 5000 pounds” factoid actually just statistical error. Average person weighs 150 pounds. Pounds Georg, who lives in a cave and weighs over 50000000000000000000000000 pounds, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Add “linux” and enjoy the empty feed

This started off as a single file in my private nix config, to see if I could get it working at all. In that initial part, some parts were indeed LLM generated (esp. testcases based on my existing intents and failures).

When I noticed that this might actually work and be useful not just for myself though, I moved everything out manually, refactored and cleaned it up, and everything since has just been myself. I guess you’re still right though. I’ll see about adding a disclaimer to the README until I’ve gotten the chance to properly rewrite everything.

Huh, interesting. Does that work with wildcards like “put x on my shopping list”? Also, what are you using for that, if I may ask?

Sorry, I don’t quite follow 😅

What’s the problematic response?
