I agree with boycotting subscription looked down cars, but what is the point of remote start? Defrosting?
Or the opposite: cooling the interior to a survivable temperature.

There’s some joke here about how that’s in contrast to Marketo…
There’s a Marko Pollo joke, too, but I’m too chicken to say it.

... but to really foul things up requires a computer.
Which reminds me of the other old email sig:
Don’t anthropomorphize computers. They hate that.
> while still attempting to meet unrealistic expectations around meeting attendance
I've routinely seen people attending a meeting from the office on Zoom camera, all gathered in a single big conference room, all looking and typing on their laptops for the entirety of the meeting, saying something maybe once or twice. I suppose they were simply working on their assigned tasks, listening to others in the background. How effective is that - I don't know.
These days I don't care. I'm 100% "at work" when I'm in the office, so whatever. I just pull up my phone and plan my next vacation trip or whatever. When I'm remotely I take my laptop to the kitchen and start preparing stuff for dinner. Life is too short for this mess.

If I’m doing that, I’m taking notes on the meeting. As long as the agenda items are at all relevant.

Off-topic...
I wish Apple would bring back the white menubar background and the coloured logo.
The white menubar makes the whole computer easier to use in a small but constant way. The coloured apple icon would suggest they no longer have their heads stuck up their assess and might bring back "fun" rather than "showing off" to their design process. And then maybe, maybe... with that "suggestion" symbolised in the UI, we can hope they might bring back the more rigorous user-centric design process they used to be famous for.
Turning “Reduce Transparency” on in Accessibility > Display will solidify the menubar in both light and dark modes.
I go through phases with transparency off or on.

I’ve wondered about this a lot.
More so the grim question: if you were in a typical space suit sitting in a ship just outside Jupiter, then propelled yourself towards the planet - what would kill you first?
Assume you are close enough that from the moment you are launched out, you are “in” the atmosphere at the outer edges. Also assume moving fast enough that the answer is not “dying from dehydration”.
I discussed a bit with GPT 4o and came to the conclusion that shear wind gusts of over 300mph in the upper atmosphere would probably do it. You’d hit that almost instantly, before high pressure, temperature or highly corrosive materials.
Depending on your path to get there, the Jovian system’s radiation might kill you before you hit the atmosphere.

I think it's worth pointing out that most people are both these things at different times.
There's things I care about and want a deep understanding of but there's plenty of tasks I want to just "go away". If I had an junior coder - I'd be delegating these. Instead I use AI when I can.
There's also tasks where I want a jump start. I prefer fixing/improving code over writing from scratch so often a bad AI attempt is still valuable to me.
You likely don’t have a say in the matter, but you should have a junior developer. That’s where senior developers come from.

- Apps for, at least, windows and android.
- Storage of files in a folder that can be seen by the OS to allow sync by something like syncthing
- Moderately good UI (nice to have: live preview of markdown)
- Core features not behind a paywall (e.g. siyuan can't sync, notenook missing important features)
- Nice to have: push notifications for tasks/reminders
I keep thinking about how much feature lists like this could be matched by the Finder/File Explorer and my favorite text editor.

Wow, haven't thought about that in years... Such a great game.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a modern variant for pc/web?
I’ve had Warside wishlisted on Steam for a year now, as it looks to be just that. And when I looked it up just now to double-check the name, looks like it’s coming out next month! Fingers crossed.
