For censorship/liability reasons of course. Like the silly "I cannot discuss political events" when I asked something like who's the current $POLITICAL_POSITION a while ago.
I wish the chatbots would say "you can't do that" instead of making up stuff. But that ain't going to happen, I think.
Remote: Only. Have done it for most of my career, have home office and not kitchen table, can work async, used to time zone differences etc etc.
Willing to relocate: Not on the first date.
Technologies: C++, Python, Yocto, windows native, Qt, iot stuff, arm linux, all those buses like i2c, spi, serial, Android, Couchdb.
Résumé/CV: Linkedin link in profile, or same user as here.
Email: Description in profile.
General use developer/architect/lead for those keywords above or other keywords.
Used to working independently, architecturizing and coordinating tiny teams.
Have carried a lot of customer's bits from wherever they were generated to wherever they were needed. Either just talking to sensors or doing the whole chain, daemons and GUIs if the project required them.
Have done software archaeology on mature code bases and fixed/improved them. As a matter of fact that's what I'm doing now, bringing an old native windows application to the 21st century.
I'm probably not a great fit for the formal startup/corporate world, I'd fit better helping in a small organization. Assuming someone from a small organization reads these threads.
Not necessarily looking for full time employment, if someone just wants to get to know people via part time / fixed duration projects, that would be even better for a start.
There are multiple older translations, but Project Gutenberg only has one at the moment. I'm conjecturing that they used to have a different one (also out of copyright; that's their whole thing), but have taken it down for unclear reasons.
It's also possible that I found a free translation of The Three Musketeers somewhere else, or that I read the same version PG has now and have misidentified it as being different.
Didn't the original facebook only show you posts of friends? Made by them or intentionally reshared by them.
Stop at that and you get rid of the influencer spam. The danger of placing yourself in a bubble is still there, but at least it's a bubble of your friends, that you could have got yourself into even in real life.
Of course, there's the question of how you finance this.
> Didn't the original facebook only show you posts of friends?
The feed was added a few years later. Originally, if you wanted to see someone's posts, you had to go to their page and look on their wall (a term I haven't heard in some time).
Hmm I've always had a manually configured low power generic box as router.
But I've never even tried to set up my own access point, I just pay Unifi for that [1]. The software part is doable but I don't want to learn to handle the signal issues.
[1] Switched to Unifi in anger after my first consumer level 5 Ghz wifi needed reboots weekly because it was overheating. Do yourself a favour and get the semi pro stuff, Unifi or others.
I've been running a custom router for about a decade, but I too have haven't tried handling the wifi on my own. It's always been easy to get an external access point and there's a bit of a guarantee that it's done correctly.
I kind of feel like that's cheating though; I've outsourced the hardest part of the project to someone else. Maybe one of these days I'll take an old NUC or something and buy a decent wifi antenna for it and try and do it properly.
[1] Initially pfsense, then OpnSense, then ClearOS, and now some custom firewall rules in NixOS.
So it's been awhile but the best and simplest way I think is use an access point. I don't want my wireless gear doing routing. From a logic stand point they acts as wireless "bridge" to the physical network, and nothing more. DHCP, etc. stay handled in one place for the entire network, back on the physical router.

Well that sounds great in theory, but then you'll get only one button per screen on your laptop and maybe two on your desktop. More likely one and a half.
That only reinforces Apple being assholes. They are perfectly capable of delivering security updates to ios 18, they just choose to not do that for phones that can run 26.
By the way does that mean you can root a phone that's on iOS 18.6? :)

I'm with you here, but I'm having a _much_ better time on my Linux machines (KDE and Cinnamon Mint) than on my (unbelievably-powerful-but-for-what) M4 Max MBP. It's so much cleaner, even without having upgraded to Tahoe, and imagine that I don't even like tinkering that much, it just works.
Well, Cinammon is the windows manager for Mint, it's the barebones experience that's the closest to Windows (?) style, it's mostly what you see is what you get, but still very customizable.
KDE used to be extremely buggy 5-6 years ago and since testing it on my Steam Deck, from my experience, this is no longer the case. It's a bit more feature-rich and flashier than Cinnamon.
> Can I run KDE on a box that idles at 10 W and never turns the fan audibly on?
No laptop I'm aware of will do this, no idea about ARM adoption.
Personally I'm glad to have a windows manager that doesn't force dumb decisions down my throat. On MacOS I have to wait for half a second for the focus to land on the next window when I switch desktops, the only workaround exists as a minor feature recently introduced to BetterSwitchTool called instant desktop switching or something. And it's to be mentioned ofcourse that for all similar fixes you _must_ give full screen recording and accessibility permissions to 3rd party software. And don't get me started on the stupid windows management (maximize != full-screen, minimized windows not recoverable with keyboard only etc)
And these people weren't validating the email address on signup. To "reduce friction" i guess.
