@amerpie.lol You seem to be the go to guy for OSx software but by any chance do you have a recommendation for an hdmi kvm switch? I want to share two hdmi monitors with my new m4 pro but also be able to switch them back to my pc (which has hdmi/displaylink/usb3.0) w/out having to juggle cables.

It's like i'm a kid again and it's the night before Christmas and I'm waiting up for Santa.... What is this weekend going to bring? Maybe a demo of someone's latest model attached to their bank account but during the presentation it goes rogue and dumps 50 million into something like $Switfties? 🤞🤞😍

January has been just bangers for crypto & AI brodoggies. My favorite so far has been Elon and Altman throwing literal tantrums at the thought DeepSeek used some of the data their companies stole from all of US then produced something cheaper& better. Then the clickhouse leak! **chefskiss**

If you want to use DeepSeek and don't want to send data to China, here are two easy options: 1. Use Perplexity Just select "Reasoning with RI" in the dropdown. Honestly, this is the best version of Perplexity I've used yet. Cons: Queries per day are limited Option 2 below 👇

Ohh and to add one more thing on that last post - If it's a non-profit providing the service then there's 2x the chance something bad will happen. Always have your own copy of the data. There's been a few wannabe sam altman acts i've seen where they're nonprofit but have closed source-code.

Just a quick reminder my friends that if you don't have physical control over your content you definitely don't own it. Hosts can go offline, bankrupt, data fails, change ownership, or just decide they don't like you and poof, no more content. Backups are easy and can be cheap/free. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just found out you can't edit posts on bluesky.. man that's unfortunate when right after you hit the post button you realize you fat-fingered a misspelling in there.

I actually didn't play that last one it but couldn't resist setting up the john wayne album shot...However bad you might think it'd be, I promise you it's worse. It's all spoken word. Here's the album I actually put on. Some old Wilco I hadn't heard in a while (yankee hotel foxtrot). #nowplaying

Wilco's yankee hotel foxtrot album

Was looking for a specific record in my collection earlier and came across this gem that I'd forgotten even existed. An original pressing of the 1973 "John Wayne - America, Why I Love Her." It's his spoken word album. For all you true patriots out there, here's a sample - youtu.be/Yh623p9IKxQ

Ok my new favorite tool I wish I had made is now postspark.app You can frame out images, tweets/bsky posts, code and apparently even your github profile....then tweak the heck outta it. Free as in free, It doesn't even have ads. Absolutely brilliant. I'm jealous. Created by @world1dan.bsky.social
