Ok, intervention time. Money buys you time with your computer.

A €2000 computer gets you all the no compromise parts. There are no unintentional bottlenecks. With all that head-room above current application demands they can last a decade.

€1200 gets you a great computer with a bit less oomph, It is just lower amounts of quality parts, less ram, less storage, fewer cores. it will run all the software you want, just don't expect too much out of it 5 years on.

€500 gets you a computer that runs today's software for now, but now corners are definitely getting cut. You are getting truly slower, cheaper parts. It is not going to be amazing today and you'll be back to tolerating your computer rather than using it in a few years.

The good news is that sales exist. Lenovo will sell you that €2300 unit for €1600 on occasion. Maybe get last year's top model for a steal. Their promotion emails are worth a subscription.

X1 Carbon is great for me. Good keyboard, good screen, and snappy even after 6 years.

I was about to #asknostr what I should use to make a bit account for my own entertainment, but then remembered that I am contributing to aedile now. I should probably dogfood that. 🦴🐶

We did that for one of our anniversaries. Dressed up, went to dinner, headed to Best uy and got the wife a nice Microsoft Surface laptop.

Uh, a big thank you, to my agent I guess. And probably should give a shout out to the committee.

I mean once, just once, I'd like to see the laplacian of a web of lies.

Precisely, there are so many things we could do to a web of lies apart from spinning them.

We could reflect them over an axis, translate them, skew them, scale them. The possible non-pure rotation transforms are endless.

Even now that we've found the last flaw?

Video tape your self doing flips on a trampoline from several vantage points. Trace the paths that various body parts make. The one that describes a parabola is your center.

I still want a company to make a car that can be modified like a video game. It'd probably have to be electric, but that's my preference anyway. Start with a civic equivalent. Swap in a bigger motor, better battery, power electronics. Customized software, drop in suspension upgrades etc. completely modular car.

In the end we are all gardeners.

Once every problem is solved all that is left is growing, tending, and being. Either what we build brings us closer to Eden or it doesn't. Social media is mixed. It allows ideas to grow and flourish, but it can also distract us from putting our toes in the dirt and being present to those present.

I still wrestle with what the final form of technology would look like given a billion years of evolution. I don't know what it would do, but I know that it would do it invisibly, evident only in that we'd have made all the word a garden.

Needs more solar panels and garden.

But we now know, as a society, that good, having any definition at all, is necessarily restrictive and restrictions are bad. Ergo good is bad.

Speed running rust?

Parents of #nostr, what age is appropriate to tell kids that the cake is a lie?

Not great for long outages. But better than nothing.

Who tried it? I considered having the limit include case law as well, but I haven't thought it through as well as I should since I am not in charge of anything.
