Both. Took a half-day for the original date. Had to cancel that and take a half-day for the correct day instead.
Biometrics are fine as a /username/ but should not be used as a password - heard that on some security podcast ages ago and have kept with it since.
So basically I don't use biometrics, lol
Literally just happened to me. My kids field trip, that I am chaperoning, is tomorrow. I had it down in my calendar for the day after. You have my sympathy.
Yeah, very similar here. It used to frustrate me to not be able to stick with a hobby or project or whatever for the long term.
Now I think of it more like dipping into hobby A for a while, doing something, then when the urge hits moving on to hobby B. But I know I'll come back to hobby A at some point so it's not as much of an ego blow if I remember to just accept that the focus has moved on for now, but will come back later.

I just came across this site. Lots of good lists of cool tech out on the net. Similar to the awesome

I guess.
For the federating its a new kind of AP actor. I'll be putting in a FEP for it in the near future, but its basically a "Group" that only cares about the "Following" collection.
You can see example json for the AP interactions here: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/activitypub_examples/feeds
The AP interactions for a Feed are:
- Send a Follow request for a Feed
- Accept a Follow request (this is automatic for public feeds)
- Reject a Follow request (this is automatic for private feeds)
- Announce an Add of a Community to a Feed
- Announce a Remove of a Community from a Feed
- Send a Delete of a Feed to subscribers
I have done this exact thing. Its what multiple career coaches have said to do. In my experience the networking aspect of job hunting is the part that actually gets jobs these days.
So, imo, this is not wrong. Bob agreed so it was fine. It does sound like maybe buying Bob a beer and not asking that particular Bob to do it again is reasonable. But the process in general is sound!
Came here to point out CoH!
Same! Very confusing thing first thing in the morning

You could programmatically rearrange the meaning of sentences. Ie instead of "where is the library I need to get a book" you could do some sort of full word replacement cypher and end up with sentences like "Lets mambo down to the banana patch."
Just for fun. :-)
Yeah, you have to be perfect and not get knocked off, otherwise its back to square one. Super annoying. But it does feel like a real accomplishment when you finally beat him!

This f'ing guy was hours of work to beat. Still the most annoying game boss ive ever encountered!
He said he was a racist Nazi who wanted to be a dictator. Yeah i blame the people who voted for him.

What Makes a Healthy Standard?
Explore the dynamics of a healthy Standard in Magic: The Gathering. Learn how player choices and card balance shape a vibrant, competitive metagame.
You've probably heard loudmouth streamers (like myself) espousing that Standard is healthy and in a good place right now. But what does that mean? Those exact same streamers will load up the ladder and immediately complain about specific cards they see (yep, still me). Is the format being healthy not synonymous with the players enjoying themselves? Surely that doesn't make any sense.
So how can these two contradictions exist so passionately, sometimes even within one individual?
I got funds out of the blue like this once. Legit.
I could see a world where an AI teaches the mechanics of music, but is not relied on for evaluation of the students imagination in applying the mechanics.
When I was in art classes I wanted the class to teach me the techniques I did not know, but I was usually disappointed.
Like my life drawing classes would be me drawing images, and then getting judged on /what I already knew how to do/.
What I felt I would have benefited from was more along the lines of "here is three different shading techniques and how they can be used" or "here are three ways to use {oil | acrylic | water color} paints you've not used before."
I always had ideas of images to create, what I could have benefited from was intros to more tools and ways to use those tools.
I could see an AI being able to do that for students of the arts.
This is true. I was just thinking in the case of the study, but /any/ help when needed is better than no help.
"How does AI tutoring compare to human tutoring?" Thats the first question that came to my mind!


Companies are equipping robotic vaccums with arms that can pick up after lazy people. Should we really be making them angry?

Robotics companies have found a new and creative way to get consumers to shell out for a new robot vacuum: equipping them with a robotic arm that can pick up after your lazy ass.
"Use the best tool for the job, that the person doing the job is best at." That's my approach.
I will use bash or python dart or whatever the project uses.
Shapeshifter, magic, immortal. Boom.

It's raining gaming handhelds lately. Acer have now announced the New Nitro Blaze 8 and Nitro Blaze 11.

It's raining gaming handhelds lately. Acer have now announced the New Nitro Blaze 8 and Nitro Blaze 11. Don't expect SteamOS / Linux on them though, sadly they're shipping with Windows 11. Never say never though, with Valve expanding SteamOS perhaps we may see Acer jump on board in future too.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Recapping MTG in 2024
Explore the highs and lows of MTG 2024, from format shakeups to standout cards and controversies. Discover key changes in Standard and more.
2024 was a huge year for MTG. It was a lot of things. Controversial, exciting, frustrating, promising, and refreshed. We saw some formats get ruined, then fixed, then ruined again. We saw some great changes to Standard that not everyone was fans of at first, but they seemed to quickly warm up to them. We saw Wizards effectively abandon a format in favor of propelling Standard into a more prominent position. We saw some great cards printed for Standard, and some promising things to come in the next year that were announced. Along with that, a fair amount of people were still bothered by the new trajectory of the format. Some are calling into question the longevity of MTG now with the heavy lean into Universes Beyond. A little bit of everything happened this year in the MTG world, and it was interesting if nothing else. On a personal level, it was also a hell of a year for me, as I took down two different events and grew a lot as a player. We are going to look at The Good, The Bad, and T
