  • I use 30–40 searches per day, and I almost never need to bang to google. When I do bang to google, I consistently find worse result.

    It is indeed expensive compare to most of the other donations/subscription I have, but there is really no alternative to this experience.

    I use nebula, lemmy, mastodon, kagi, jellyfin, signal, thunderbird, fedora, tutanota, and so on. My weekly subscription/donation bill is probably around $50, which is just the price of 2 LLM subscription, so honestly, not that much considering how expensive everything is nowadays. But, oh boy, let me tell you, my digital world is quiet: there is nothing in my face pushing AI or ads, and I get every update I need, and can just use my tools and gets things done. All of them cost money/donation, but I would rather spend money to save time and my mental health now…












  • That is not the case, exam evaluates learning outcome. If the student satisfies the learning outcome in the end, I don’t care how they did it.

    I am only here to help the student acheive as much as they can, then assigning a score that reflects their achievements.

    That is the important part: it is only a letter, but I would like that letter should reflect skills, instead of total time spent, or how they choose to learn and allocate their time. I don’t want student to waste their precious time when they can achieve the required outcome without doing homework and/or attending classes.




  • This dude need to chill, he also pushed the systemd change, and in his blog he seems to believe android “advance flow” for sideloading protects users.

    The one they are targeting is California’s AB-1043, which still have three quarters of a year before it comes into effect…

    I think this dude might get too excited for his new subscription of claude code or whatever, and decided to spam every project with these request. Some of these are reasonable, some are compliance in advance.

    Also this dude writes two freaking blog every week with LLM. If I were him, I would try to find some joy in my personal life…



  • The good side: I feel it might enables me to better setup parental control in the future. If software read from the age field, then the blocking can be more robust than a simple DNS sink hole by pihole, which is really easy to get around, with mobile data or directly visiting IP address.

    I do find this field is fundamentally different from verification using government issued ID (yet). I will definitely fight the next one, but I am kind of okay with this one.

    Cons: it is additional fingerprint parameter, I hope the xdg-desktop protocol can be implemented to give out as little information as possible for the age field, instead of just handing the birthday field to every app that ask for it. And I hope all adult who don’t have any age-based content filtering needs will opt to leave the field empty.
