Sounds like a good plot for a novel.

I wanted to recommend go, but you said single player… there’s always Katago to play against.
I guarantee you’ll never truly ‘beat’ the game!

On a real note, though, it had a great Haskell mode I much miss now doing Julia in Vim. Being able to write code snippets in the editor then shunt them into the interpreter in the other pane is so good. Every now and again I tell myself I’ll learn EViL and check out Emacs again. And it still starts faster than some electron-based ide.

+1 for Inkscape. I have no experience with the commercial competition but I’ve found Inkscape awesome, and used it for things it was probably never intended for.

I’m also looking forward to trying Immich, but I’m slowed down because I decided I should learn podman and use that instead of docker!
I do a lot of photo organising myself with file structure and timestamp filenames, but it looks like I can have Immich see my ‘proper’ library of files, and for the family it’s hopefully a helpful tool.
Does anyone know how well the iPhone app works? I had problems with the next cloud app, which otherwise was great for connecting my general web of tech with an iPhone.

Especially on mobile FOSS often makes a big difference to user experience cleanness, not just privacy/freedom that you’ll be glad for later.

Thanks for bringing this up. I almost thought to try Joplin again, from this post. But for me, having my files as files for me to use as I please etc, is too important. I guess the Joplin way works for some.

Love Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection. I’ve enjoyed it for years; these days I use the hardest setting on the 6x6 towers puzzle when I can’t get to sleep: see if I can solve one or two without any intermediate notes (just fixing each actual tower number, and without trying out and going back) before my brain runs out and is ready to sleep.

Just make sure you make a backup from your syncthing clones, so an accidental delete/mess-up on one machine doesn’t wipe out every copy!

- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
Luckily, not if you actually read the article. The headline is misleading. “Emotional advertising” is a marketing gimmick term by LG for guessing your personality from the shows you watch.

Or expensive.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
This is actually about analysing the shows you watch, so it’s invasive, but not insidious in the way, say, the screenshots of hdmi content is.

Good idea, though, this isn’t actually about cameras watching you as the title looks like.

The worst is it costs a $2.64 surcharge each time to open, and then the luggage asks you to tip it!
- Comment on Temu shut off Google Shopping ads in the US on April 9; its App Store app ranking then plummeted from around third or fourth place to 58th in three days 1 week ago:
The title misled me here, I think. It sounded like an indictment that Temu stopped showing Google ads in its product then its ranking in Google Play dropped, but I don’t think it’s that.
Sounds like Temu was paying for ads to get users, and without those ads people stopped turning to it for shopping. Also,
The timing coincided with the Trump administration’s hardened stance on Chinese imports, raising tariffs to 125%
Perhaps the actual main factor.
