You too will grow old and then... you too will be blamed for everything.
After we either repair all the shit the boomers broke, or fail trying. Not a lot to be blamed for if the ship can't be wrighted.

I’ve thought about this too. As an unmedicated ADHDer, context switching is a big struggle. I often check Reddit while researching or coding, but end up doomscrolling.
I use LeechBlock with limited overrides (15 minutes max) for when I actually need access, and add a 15-second delay for certain domains. That combo keeps me from disabling it while still annoying enough to curb mindless browsing.
Do you have any data on how many credits someone typically uses per day, week, or month? I’m wondering if it’s worth installing on my work profile, or if it’d be more useful for personal use.
Your marriage is a decision between you and your spouse and is a mutual decision.
A job is a decision that your boss(es) made and can be taken without your consent. You don't have the ownership of your job that you do of your marriage.
Both marriage and job contracts are mutually binding legal agreements. You have the agency within those dynamics that the law gives you, which varies by region/jurisdiction respectively.
Your partner in some (most?) cases can absolutely make an executive decision that ends your marriage, with you having no options but to accept the outcome.
Your argument falls a little flat.

Not directly related to this new Atuin feature, but I need to vent:
Last week I was trying to `find` something in some directories, failed, `cd`d to my home directory and instinctively hit up-arrow+return to run the search again. At some time prior to this, Atuin had stopped recording new entries without my notice. Want to guess the last entry that Atuin did record?
Go on. Guess.
Yep.
`rm -rf *`
In my home directory.
Luckily I have backups of everything important and didn't actually lose anything, and I'm mainly posting this here as a funny anecdote. But - still - after getting myself set up again I have yet to reinstall Atuin.
Destructive options shouldn't be allowed to be run from history without confirmation. That seems like a reasonable fix to this issue.
The privacy implications for this bill for adults seem to be about the same as the privacy implications for the "Click if you are 18+" button on many websites.
If you are under 18 there is no checking to stop you from saying you are are 18+
The only people it seems might have their privacy slightly reduced are people under 18 who are using a computer or smartphone/tablet that had parental controls set up by presumably a parent or guardian before giving the minor access.
The bill requires that the parent be able to enter the minor's birthday or age in one place, and then provide a way that the age range (under 5, 5-10, 10-13, 13-16, 16-18, 18+) can be given to apps/sites if they ask for it.
Thus, if you are a minor using a device that was set up with parental controls and you try to use an app or site that is restricted, that app or site will find out your age range.
This is actually a level headed way to deal with it. Provide a way for the device to inform the website / app of their age status (it can be bucketed for increased privacy/compatibility with existing rating systems). Then legislate that it is on the website to inform the device of the type of content being served. Then the device/browser can be responsible for implementing the privacy controls (page blocking, notifications, overrides, etc.), and the parents are responsible for ensuring their children's devices are configured with their ages.

Thank you for the feedback. Glad to hear it didn't go into detail on human anatomy. We haven't been able to get it to tell us where to find graphic videos of a man being shot to death, but we will keep testing and work to improve it.
We will do some more internal discussion on whether or not we want it to be the tool to provide emergency assistance. I'm not sure that's ethical. We have a team member with a decade of child education experience, but we can consider other advisors.
I'd argue it would be unethical to not do so. I can see where it may lead to false-positives, but in those instances, it's better to be safe than sorry.
A reasonable and responsible approach could be to instruct the child to seek a safe adult around them to discuss any material that may be harmful.
Would be nice if the instructions were on the webpage, even better, an intro to chiptune and where to find more information.
Cool none-the-less... would be interested in fiddling with it if I knew how too.
I’m not throwing the towel on Ollama yet. They do need dollars to operate, but still provide excellent software for running models locally and without paying them a dime.
^ this. As a developer, Ollama has been my go-to for serving offline models. I then use cloudflare tunnels to make them available where I need them.
There's a small but vocal minority of users who don't trust big companies, but don't mind paying small companies for a similar service.
I'm also interested to see if that small minority of people are willing to pay for a service like this.
Ollama, run by Facebook. Small company, huh.
