<quoting=Eternity postID=1108 threadID=147>I find it funny that you in particular wrote so much. I quite enjoyed 'Part 3 Be Human' of the first article.

Manu recently posted AI will not replace you ...

fitness (whole pizza...) thread

by NovaVeles in food, drink, fitness on jun 21, 2023

I have been doing all kinds of things for years but only started lifting about 3 months ago, the initial results are impressive.

Now benching about 65KG (145 pounds) and increasing it by 10 pounds a month. Doing this with a home gym because all the weights ...

I wrote two articles on the issues with these LLM (AI) language models. No the most positive take. If you have a little while it is about 9,000 words between the two. I thought it would only be these two but I have a third and final part in the works about ...

What are you currently reading?

by NovaVeles in the library on jun 5, 2023

Less is More - Jason Hilkel.

A book all about a possible future of Degrowth in the economy.

Only about 2/3rds of the way through and it is... ok. I have said for a long time that when ever someone mentions Capitalism, 98% of the time you are going to ...

<quoting=Eternity postID=1026 threadID=23>Came across this recent book (by Kevin Kelly) that seems to be in a similar vein to your site: Excellent Advice for Living. I'm not linking to Amazon though, because it's a pretty ...

What I want from the internet - Artcile

by NovaVeles in general on may 8, 2023

Just came across this article about how we need to make the internet large again, not just 6 sites that we are locked into. I think this forum is a good example of this idea in action.

best chips competition

by NovaVeles in food, drink, fitness on may 5, 2023

I would have agreed until I came across almost everything from Heartland chips in New Zealand.

https://www.heartlandchips.co.nz/

To problem is that they are there and I am not, also I am not paying $10 a bag, although... they are the best chips...

<quoting=RevD postID=975 threadID=23>Tools like CoffeeCup, MS Front Page, Paint Shop Pro (slicing!), Macromedia Dreamweaver all played their parts now and then. But getting a full set of pages under 100kb was great. Kind of miss those days (but not marquees ...

You are too good to us! But yeah a dark mode would be interesting to see. There is currently a nice balance but any alternative is more than welcome.

the venture bros

by NovaVeles in tv, film, and video on may 2, 2023

Wait Venture Bro's is still going? I kind of lost track around 2010 and have just looked up the wiki to see that they have been very slowly pumping these out! There is a lot to catch up on!

quoting Jade:

Clicking the link to your site gives me a warning from MacAfee antivirus, even though I don't think I have that installed...

That is strange... I assume it might be the host which is just Fastmail email ...

i wrote about forums again

by NovaVeles in general on apr 28, 2023

Absolutely, I feel it particularly hard as my daily runner is a Core 2 Duo laptop from 2009. When running on slower machines it becomes apparent just how bloated a lot of modern web has become.

quoting c1:

![] need to do something about that left side of the bar

It is the ultimate 1st word problem but don''t you just hate that. You get the perfect pic setup and it clashes with UI elements.

The saving grace of Reddit is that it is still compartmentalized to some degree. r/Programming is just programming if you will, but within it the quality can vary wildly! More they are pushing for the endless feed just like every other social media. ...

Do you think WSJ gets the irony?

by NovaVeles in general on apr 25, 2023

<quoting=dimes postID=877 threadID=121>i think its also worth mentioning that a lot of average people simply aren't navigating to news sites anymore; unless its following a link from a facebook feed or similar - where we know that reliability isn't really ...

Do we want a gimmick?

by NovaVeles in general on apr 25, 2023

Wow it is weird seeing me quoted out of context! But yeah even having a rotating banner would be kind of cool!

Just to give some love to my favorite Distro Trisquel and their default desktop. It is my once every 2 year reminder to reinstall my system.

My desktop!

what email providers do you use/suggest?

by NovaVeles in software on apr 8, 2023

Just to throw another +1 on fastmail. Incredibly reliable, works as it should. Especially the web interface. 10 out of 10.

Video Games & Time

by NovaVeles in video games on mar 4, 2023

Absolutely, there are still titles that come out the scratch that itch but they are usually smaller indy things. Sonic Mania is the 1st one that jumps to mind.

what did you make today?

by NovaVeles in food, drink, fitness on mar 4, 2023

quoting lvxferre:

I tried something new, tabadirt / abadir / medfouna (or "Moroccan calzone" after my family gave up pronouncing any of those names correctly). Picture related:

That looks slick! 10 out of 10!

Movies that would/could not be made today?

by NovaVeles in tv, film, and video on mar 4, 2023

Ian Kung had a brilliant take on this with it also regarding the idea of cancel culture.

1 minute and 17 seconds if you are worried about length. ;)

What are you working on? V1

by NovaVeles in software on mar 4, 2023

Not what you are expecting but recently I configured an old Lenovo mini 10 to run FreeDos. I have been plodding around Qbasic again as it was my 1st programming love. It is astounding just how simple (in a good way) it was for getting basic ideas done ...
