Anyone who invests in a new cryptocoin in 2026 has to know that it's almost certainly a scam. It's just straight up gambling.

For peace of mind I'd like to be able to run my EV (24kwh battery) and spare fridge / freezer off home solar. Anything more than that is gravy, and I'd rather invest in things like Oregon Community Solar.

What percentage of those million still use your app?

What percentage of those million remember the existence of your app?

Unless you're sure both of those are VERY high, you would be an absolute imbecile to spam them.

Sometimes it's ctrl-enter. Sometimes it's shift-enter. ARGH!

Especially because you can potentially use a model like Mythos to figure out how to hide (from humans, at least) a deliberately created vulnerability.

I've been replacing my Google Homes and Chromecasts with Snapcast streamers, and this is the next thing I've been planning to look into.

It's truly absurd how the Google voice assistant USED to work properly for setting timers, playing music, etc, and then they had to break it 15 times and finally replace it with much slower AI that only kinda does what you want. I'm done.

Selfhosted is the way to go if you want to keep your sanity. My wife has basically given up on any Google/Apple voice assistants being able to do anything useful above "set a 10 minute timer".

I assume for some nonzero percentage of folks it doesn't work right and they have to manually go and set their keyboard layout.

Of course, when you're setting up your OS initially, it will ask you questions about language and keyboard layout. I suspect most people don't switch keyboards after install, and of those who do, the most common case is another keyboard with a compatible layout.

I feel like you can get into a different sort of flow - a low-key flow where you're managing a bunch of different streams as interrupts come in. Different kind of focus, much more big-picture, kinda like playing an RTS.

Not at all. It's just the Latin prefix "de" (out of) plus "fenester" meaning window. Not an English word except by borrowing.

The joke was that [to my then knowledge] it's not used in Romance languages, but it is used in English.

I believe the term originates with this historical event:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestrations_of_Prague

And if you believe Wiki, it was used originally in Middle French.

Notepad, of all things, is a CRAZY thing to be so tied to. It's not even a good editor! MS-DOS edit.com was honestly a much better experience.

I've met a surprising number of people who are seriously tied to the specific editor they're used to, some going so far as to not even wanting to change the version they are on.

Better than Edlin I suppose.
