Sure, AI can make you more productive. But it can also do something so much more meaningful than that. brittany-ellich.offprint.app/a/3mrpzcvrhk...

AI as a Tool for the Mental Load

Toddler wouldn’t take a nap, so I talked her through building a desktop. We talked through installing a CPU, motherboard, RAM, SSD and graphics card. She was out before I got to the PSU. 🤣

The toddler is also running in yelling “AMAZE AMAZE AMAZE” at intervals and it’s fantastic. (She did not see the movie of course, she heard my husband and I saying it…)

Sure, being a mom is tough, but I’ve also had three surprise parties thrown for me this week alone. 😆

as promised, here is my post on AI and ethics. I think unilateral disarmament in the face of powerful new tools is neither wise nor effective. I think those of us in tech have a particular responsibility to engage, participate and build better solutions. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/make-ai-bo...

Here I go, buying skins for a game I only play like twice a year again... 😆

Get in the Bus Pomni, there's no time to explain

Successfully played a board game (Don’t Break The Ice) with the toddler this evening! …She did melt down when we had to stop to go to bed, I get it, honestly. 😆

Ah, that feeling of doom when you open your Airpods case and neither are in there. 😃

Started Saros this weekend, sat straight tf up as soon as they announced they'd landed on the planet Carcosa. Is this it, is this my King in Yellow game adaptation? 👀

Got bullied for being an old woman who still uses RSS feeds 🤣 so I guess I'm going to start using BlueSky to keep up with whatever-the-heck-is-going-on-in-tech.

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line. Obsidian CLI is now available in 1.12 (early access).

Sort of want to go back to handwritten BuJos for keeping track of my day for memory’s sake, but there are some things (PR reviews, documents) where I’d prefer to like, group a link in with the note. Maybe I give Obsidian notes Zettelkasten IDs that I ref in my handwritten notes? Or something?

Migrated back to Linux today while the kids were asleep (Pop!_OS) and immediately ran into an issue with loading 1Password. Got things working by disabling GPU acceleration (i.e. installing via the .deb instead of the Cosmic Store, and running 1password --disable-gpu - things were right as rain!
