I am BARRY's Microblog

@Contrariwise I heard some suggestions of Pico. 🫣

@Contrariwise That looks interesting as well!

I just lightly entered the rabbit hole and ended up at Pomera. Also, the idea of a non-GUI linux install on any ol’ laptop.

If someone said, “Here’s a reasonably priced option with a great keyboard and workflow,” I might bite. But it appears that it requires a lot of research and testing.

I should back away.

@Contrariwise Oh, my, I don’t know. That’s serious! If I could find one for super cheap, I might try, but the ultra-slow USB import mentioned here has me hesitant: kadavy.net/blog/post…

Thanks for the idea!

@Contrariwise Nice, thanks for sharing your experience.

@jthingelstad The pizzas cook fast, but the line’s the line. Hope the music was good!

@jthingelstad Busy there today!

@apoorplayer Lovely!

@Contrariwise Is it true that you need to get on a Max $100/month subscription to get in the door? Or is the token-based pricing more reasonable than I imagine for someone coding with it daily?

@bradbarrish Gonna need to sit with that one for a bit.

@bradbarrish The nice thing is that Kagi does seem to find more of that stuff for me…or at least not find as many of the crap piles. Vlad even emailed us encouraging us to encourage Pika folks to add their sites to kagi.com/smallweb.

@bradbarrish And thanks for the link. That’s a great post!

@bradbarrish It’s very nice. I think soon we’re gonna get some time to rethink The Pika Pulse. The more places for blog discovery, the better.

@bradbarrish 👍

@bradbarrish Thanks for sharing this, Brad. I have a daughter going into college next year with plans for an English degree. I am going to be keeping my eye on how she is approaching her studies, and this will be in my back pocket as a start toward convincing her to study the hard way. This coupled with a question of what she wants out of her expensive four-year journey, a piece of paper or hard-earned personal growth.

That’s if it is necessary. Thus far through high school she has avoided using LLMs as a shortcut to completing assignments. I just know College is another level of challenge…if I were in the same boat I would have trouble resisting the inappropriate use of LLMs.

@bradbarrish Thank you so much for sharing that story. ❤️

@mineinmono Fascinating. Thanks for sharing it!

@sod Rag rugs are very common where I grew up in Minnesota as well. Very cool to see The style across the world!

@combatdavey @manton 🤞

@combatdavey @manton It should be an interesting game. It should be to Minnesota’s advantage to have a long series, so if they can just eek out a couple wins in the first four, I like their chances. OTOH, Ant was looking like the 2024-Dallas-series Ant, and that has me a bit worried.

Gotta play like you play, as the OKC counter-example has shown.

@manton That…didn’t go as I expected. At all. 🏀
