The author seems dead set on a tauri calendar implementation. I came across what is apparently a scheduling toolkit in rust:

https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-scheduler

Which I guess could be used to build a desktop calendar app. One flaw in the ointment is that a calendar program really needs email integration. Downloading an ICS file and manually transferring that over to your calendar app isn’t going to cut it.

Which brings us to the lack of solid calendar servers. I’ve searched but I haven’t found anything popular, OSS, easy to install, and useful for groups. Radicale exists but multi user support is a janky hack, while Nextcloud has unreliable sync. I’m looking for features like:

• reliable calendar sync
• sharable calendars.
• scheduling help - when to have a meeting?
• how many attendees for a group event, how many invited etc.

nope

Hot take: tire particulates are a conservative anti-EV talking point. “My V8 mustang weighs less than an EV, therefore its better on pollution than a EV because tire particulates”. Totally disregarding the impact of tailpipe emissions.

aw, he may be a genocide loving nazi, but at least its from the heart. won’t someone give him some money?

IMO this device is more of a prototype for working out issues with risc-v in a framework chassis. Not really for doing practical work at this point. Could mean that framework expects a powerful risc-v chip in the next few years, and wants to lay the groundwork for that now.

Seems to me mainly of interest to devs who want to prep for a future generation of risc-v chips.

pricing is in line with the top ipad. I consider it kind of an activist move to buy one of these though, more about supporting a cause than getting a device with maximal functionality.

I like this approach of having a model locally and running it locally. I’ve been using the firefox website translator and its great. Handy and it doesn’t send my data to google. That I know of, ha.

I use keepassxc to generate the code.

I’m more looking for a federated RPAN than a tiktok.

Got it working. The problem was really dumb: I use xmonad. When I run mixx, it opens a modal dialog where you have to select a file, or cancel. I didn’t notice the dialog, maybe too many windows or it ended up behind the main window. Dialog never returns, program never gets off the splash screen. 😅 Still get the warnings and errors, but apparently that’s normal.

Anyway, working now, definitely a lot of bells and whistles in this. Inspiring if I ever want to take up DJing.

It is military sci-fi. I liked the series, but then I liked it from the beginning and didn’t need to push through any of it. Sounds like maybe the subject matter isn’t really your bag, that’s ok.

And the word grok comes from stranger in a strange land, not hitchhikers guide.

Yes they literally pull in particles from the bathroom air and blow them directly on your hands.

Mercedes “full self driving” is only on designated routes.

Just like mercedes ‘full self driving’ this sounds like its on limited routes where there’s been extensive testing. I don’t expect truck driving to go full auto on arbitrary roads in the next few years. The tech is not there yet.

I’ve had a dell precision 5520 for several years now. Its been solid from a software support standpoint. Downside is the stock batteries swell up; I’ve settled for lower-capacity aftermarket batteries instead. On my second keyboard, second charge port and second power supply. Unfortunately a screw fell out and then the hinge broke as a result, and charging has gotten wonky, maybe since the charge port’s attachment point broke too. If you put the charge cable in just the right place it’ll charge, but sometimes I can’t find that position.

Pluses:

• 32g ram
• nvidia graphic accel
• replaceable keyboard, battery, memory
• touchscreen, webcam, etc all work.
• high dpi screen
• good linux support.
• daily driver for 5+ years

Minuses:

• USB3 dock doesn’t charge enough, still needs power supply.
• front edge of the laptop is a bit sharp
• swelling stock batteries, keyboard and mouse gradually stop working.
• should have used locktite on screws, some fell out and now hinge, power wonky.

I also have a thinkpad w520. Super solid, but gets hot when the gpu is enabled. Probably needs a thermal paste refresh. Still on the original keyboard. On second power supply, first one’s cable is getting sparky. Slow compared to the dell, short battery life, very heavy, still working though!

I blame the politicians like Richard Shelby actively preventing any other technology from being used or even considered. The lack of zeal was from the people in charge of the money, who clearly had no interest in space beyond its ability to get them and their pals larger McMansions on a golf course somewhere. Myopic, stupid and corrupt assholes.

Its kind of insane that EV manufacturers are making battery packs out of a lot of individual cells, rather than one integrated unit like this.
