#HackOfTheDay: Friend of the Lab (I'm typing on his hand-me-down macbook pro!) Donald dropped by today with a problem dear to my heart. When speaking to an audience he struggles with time, going into terror induced tunnel vision. His idea: put an LED bar graph on top of his laptop screen where he CANNOT fail to see it.
Donald is a laser whiz and had already lasercut a bargraph holder that slots onto his laptop screen. With an ESP32 development board from the Wall o' Parts™️, and a knob/screen combo board he sourced from The Usual, we knocked up a micropython program which lets him set the talk duration hand have a progress display that has 50 LED pixels, that shade green, orange, yellow red as his speaking slot elapses.
I'm making one. Mine might need a hammer-servo too.

It's really important in all our discussions to separate :
a) #AI as a technology/science (which is very positively exciting in the amount of ways it could help us) from
b) the *implementation* of AI to the general public (all these VC startup-style companies driven by naked greed racing to shoe-horn it into everything without care for preferences, taste or consequences)

IMHO we need re-nationalisation.
The Cunliffe report has proposed reforms that are deep and wide, but they will take time to take effect.Simon Jack (BBC News)
“But if we have to bail out privately owned companies, then they become public property.
No more privatised profits and socialised losses.
Same goes for any other industries - banks, rail, buses, power, airlines, mail...
You don't get the profits if you don't provide the service.
So get out of the way.”
Amen.

So pleased to see someone else choosing the backpack over the wheeled suitcase. So much lighter and more flexible - and it leaves your hands free.
"When it comes to the best travel luggage, the debate is dominated by the bitter rivalry between four-wheeled spinners and two-wheeled draggers. But for me the answer is simple: no wheels at all.
"After years of trailing heavy bags, and then rolling them upright, I’ve gone right back to my youth and re-embraced that long-forgotten, much-maligned treasure of travel, the backpack."

in reply to violetstone • • •@violetstone @soop Flatpak and GNOME do rely on runtime permissions in the form of Portals, similar to the permissions model on iOS and Android. There are a number of static permissions that had to exist to transition from an entirely unsandboxed model to a permissions model where we actually provide an API and user control over what apps can do.
