not to the point of fast sloppy cursive so bad i can’t read it myself, and that’s what i get with windows after using it for years. linux apps just didn’t match up and i keep getting cranky it’s better to just stop.
edit: went looking around and still no new ones or updates to the ones existing. it’s possible i missed something, i don’t actually pay attention to this anymore.
i miss handwriting input; both english and chinese writing. yes keyboard is faster but time spent writing isn’t that wasted for me, and my posture is better when i used a drawing tablet exclusively instead of mouse and keyboard, also i’ve bullied windows handwriting recognition enough that it’s pretty much chicken scratch input.

so long as ‘wedding album’ apk shared on whatsapp don’t get installed, i’m content.
Python and node.js successfully transitioned out of the bdfl phase through wildly different paths. might be interesting for a while though.
CultRepo’s video coming to youtube in 2027!
agreeing with orclev - i setup an older nvidia gpu pc on linux mint and that pc has to have all other applications closed to play minecraft when it used to handle youtube video or actual video running and maybe an antivirus scan in the background and minecraft on top fine in windows.
GPU is running (as opposed to when the driver failed to load haha) but some kind of processing is still on CPU, i tracked down the problem but the point where i figured out i need to keep up with the latest vaapi and compile it to just diagnose it i stopped and told the kids how to quit other programs first before minecraft. or bloons.
edit: found my problem. mission center randomly spikes in cpu and memory use and gets to 99% in both…and i’m constantly running it. now i bask in swap utilization 0% forever and ever
got mint xfce, because that’s what i used before win10, and that’s what i use on and off usually ever since then. i think it’s gnome that made me change to xfce and it was clunky back then on ubuntu, though i can’t remember my actual beef with it, so i changed to mint and never changed to anything else.
i use handwriting input on windows and have bullied the pattern recognition into learning my handwriting almost perfectly - that’s the only thing i miss. i miss it a lot…
expecting at some point my mom will give up and ask for linux on her windows 10 laptop since her grandkids use ‘free online games’ websites (she doesn’t do any banking or serious stuff on it, so i’m not that bothered) and it will get devoured by malware but even odds it will be me or my brother.
they are tinier than i thought :D fully ripened whole peppers and they are one and a half cm, one of them even just one cm long
the wild varieties are really small compared to the cultivated ones, 2 cm or so in length.
fermented shrimp paste, pickled bird eyes chili, soy sauce, fresh mangoes and plain white rice. topped with a heaping pinch of msg.
I know of this one time (last year) a window that was purposely kept shut was opened by a visitor and the notebook was rained upon. completely soaked. Kept in rice for about a month (changing the rice on some schedule), it booted up fine for a while. then died completely after a few weeks.
I think it pointed out the right direction at least once, back when i was doing tech support (xp and pre-xp). Back when the toolkit includes whole stacks of cd’s containing every driver known to exist. I don’t even remember what it is, but it was something Realtek.
you can go onto your youtube history, search for that video and remove it from your history, and it will stop influencing your recommendations.
every now and then i watch a video about a topic i’m not really interested in except for that one video, and then had to remove it from history.
It’s not relevant to me, i’m in a different country, but in i’ve seen daily completely turn off your hidden phones, and only turn them on when it is safe because the alert will still blare when you turn on you phone the entire week before the test and also months before. Certain circles take warning each other about ‘Loud Day’ seriously.
Rewatching Stargate and international cooperation feels so strange and bereft somehow. A kinder path.

early generation computers fueled a demand that was being supplied by rooms and rooms of human calculators calculating and checking each other’s works for scientists, engineers, businesses, and government agencies
(Manhattan Project, Atomic Heritage Foundation picture)
they would not have died out, because they were a necessary part of the evolution of technology at their time. more importantly, they were more accurate than their human calculators. computers don’t forget to carry a number to the next digit or flip them around. barring exceptionally rare cosmic radiation events. and their technological progression fueled an ever greater need until now when tech has entered post-scarcity when it comes to calculating power.
generative AI in contrast was an offering looking for a purpose. spare gigaflops no longer needed for tech people are trying to sell by building more and more hype for calculating power. sucks to be the one who invests into it, but that’s business. sometimes investment don’t work out. if microsoft can’t hype up a demand then it is unnecessary technology.
