Use it every day. Yeah wireless earphones are great, but they're far from perfect; some pairs have delays and issues with audio quality, turning on bluetooth drains my phone battery quicker, and I have enough devices which I need to maintain and recharge all the time - I can't be doing with another one.
The only hassle you get with wired earphones is them tangling up and limiting how far you can move your head, but I'd take those over connection issues any day.
I get where you're coming from, but to say that its akin to a civil war when there's a unilateral mechanism for unification and there's been lasting peace for decades... Feels a little reductionist.
The real Mildly Infuriating is that someone directly copied one of Stephen Merchant's tweets word for word.
It was around ~8:20. I don't know if I'd say it's worth listening to, but it's refreshing to hear someone working with AI/ML talk realistically about what they're presenting to the world - as opposed to bigging it up for investors or deriding it as a plague onto the world. Cleggers was simply talking about how LLAMA (their new ML system) is practically glorified auto-fill, and discussed the merits around open-sourcing ML stuff in the industry.
Was listening to Radio 4 on the way in, Nick Clegg being asked about Meta's ML Language Model and... I can't believe I agreed with Clegg throughout 🤮
I’m curious, what big changes do you foresee having to make?
I have nothing planned but it feels odd to throw myself in the deep end. I can format it so 90% of the site can be changed via CSS, but... Yeah, I think I might just try Jekyll 😂
It feels a little... Short sighted, almost? Like there's no underlying toolset or framework that'll help me manage things in bulk if I have to make big changes.
But the meantime I have enough knowledge of basic html and css, as well as a bit of taste and the willingness to explore those more that I might say sod it and go with that.
I'll be honest when I say I wouldn't know where to start, but with seeing how personal websites & blogs are getting back in fashion there's a certain appeal to having my own website that hasn't called out to me since I was a young 'un. Even if it's practically throwing money away when you could put everything on Github.
I've been out of the loop when it comes to the blog scene - The likes of Wordpress didn't ever appeal to me, and even though I enjoyed Tumblr my experience wasn't what I'd consider blog-ish. What seems appealing to me with bearblog is that it seems to be a tool that can be used way after the original site goes down, has no bloat, and you're not too reliant on other services tolerating you.
The only thing that I have a second mind of is the lack of a comments system, but that probably goes against the whole lightweight ethos bearblog is going for.
I'll iterate again when I say I'm not as smart as I wished, and I have no experience with figuring out how to set up a website or blog 😅 - but it's really activating something in my brain!
I recently found out that there's been a resurgence of of indie blogs & webrings from a friend who's into retro computers and it's pretty neat to see it. It's fun to hop around and simply find random things, like how it used to be when I was younger.
I've been seeing more and more of bearblog in the last few months and I'm half tempted to give it a shot myself, even if I don't know what I'd remotely talk about!
I don't know if by border if they wanted a circular border around where lemmy gives icons a circular crop. I whipped up this as a quick test - It's transparent outside of the circle, and the circle is white, it should look alright on both dark & light themes.
Different countries have different insults, simple as. Calling someone a spook means radically different things on both ends of the Atlantic.
