Ok, I played with it and it seems like the recognition only works in the “Notes” app. It doesn’t work as a general text input for applications.

It works pretty well, though. You select the text with the pen by circling it, and then you can copy it to the clipboard or replace the drawing with the actual text.

Battery life is good, I use it with the wifi off and only had to charge it once, and I read a full book on it.

I haven’t played with the handwriting recognition yet, let me take a look and I’ll report back.

I bought a Mobiscribe recently, for the same reasons. It’s an eReader with an eink display, but it’s an Android tablet. I installed F-Droid, and then NextCloud (to access my ebooks) and Librera Reader. I also use it for listening to podcasts (via Bluetooth, since it’s an Android tablet) and taking notes with the stylus.

There’s a big conflict of interest in dating apps: if you’re successful you stop using the app, and of course the company doesn’t want that.

No one is suggesting that the transition would happen overnight… It would be just like any other job that became obsolete in the past, it would gradually phase out.

No, but you can just take B12 supplements, the same ones that are given to cattle.

“poorly planned vegan diets that do not replace the critical nutrients found in meat, can lead to serious micronutrient deficiencies.” (from the article)

Yeah, switching your diet to anything has that risk, obviously. You need to understand what you eat.

And your daily life is already supplemented with pills, the only difference is they’re given to the animals you eat. Cattle is given B12 because they don’t graze and don’t have access to enough cobalt.

It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.

…replaced by monocultures…

Guess, what? We have those monocultures today. That’s how we feed cattle. But if everything went vegan we would be able to cut that land usage down to 75%.

Veganism is about killing as little as possible, it’s not about being 100% perfect. We would need those farms to feed people, and of course animals would die in the process. But it’s a smaller harm.

No doctor will tell you you can live well on a vegan diet without any supplements.

Says who? Here’s a quote for you (source):

You’re right, we would need supplements, like B12. Today those supplements are given to cattle, because they can’t get it when they don’t graze. That’s were you get your B12: from supplements given to animals. Maybe we could skip the middleman?

Everyone should be vegan. It’s great for your health, for the environment, and more importantly, it would save more than a trillion (yes, with a T) lives every year.

In a hundred years we’ll look back and be ashamed of what we did to animals.

Yep, that’s pretty much it.

Unlimited PTO is only good if you’ve proved yourself indispensable to the company, and can leverage that. Of course if you’re indispensable then it’s hard to take a lot of vacation!

I replied to the wrong comment, sorry, I was replying to the person asked if the 3 weeks were paid.

Brazil, Spain, Egypt, Denmark, Argentina…

Not OP, but probably yes. Unlimited PTO is not uncommon in tech.

Of course if you try to do some shenanigans like taking two months off they will simply fire you.

You hire more people.

I’ve been using Alacritty for a while. It’s fast and does everything I need.

I like supporting small business. 🙂

Also, depending on the VPS provider, you might get a lot of sites blocked. When I ran a VPN on Digital Ocean I couldn’t access USPS, OpenAI, imgur, and couldn’t leave comments on YouTube. I assume because of too many bots running on DO.

They do that upstream, so there’s nothing you can do on your router to change that.

One solution I’ve used in the past is run hoppy.network to get a public IP (it’s basically a VPN). Then your home computer has all ports open on that IP, since everything goes through an encrypted tunnel.

Whiskey on the rocks.

I can suck the ice cubes during the day, and drink the whiskey at night.
