The article does suggest iOS options for Mobile Quick Capture - Drafts and Shortcuts. Might be worth a try.

No problem, I’ve only been using it a month or so, and haven’t really dug into all features yet but there’s a lot to like - the markdown editing is very smooth (with lists, including check boxes, automatically generating on a new line) and I’ve started drafting longer Lemmy posts in it too.

I have some niggles, like the YAML “note_type: task” producing a much nicer check box list but it seems to stop line wrapping. I’d also like checked items moved down the list. However, the developer is, apparently, approachable so I may drop them a line or note.

Not now and not 20 years ago.

He only likes the white ones.

#NotAllTicTacs

They are developing their own extremist-infused AI models, and are already experimenting with novel ways to leverage the technology, including producing blueprints for 3D weapons and recipes for making bombs.

Given thr way AI is prone to hallucinations, they should definitely have a go at building them. Might solve our problems for us.

So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯

Might be a you problem as I just subscribed.

I am very laid back (my Dad always said I was nearly horizontal) and I never get angry, I rarely even get flustered or impatient. My Dad was a very good man and I try to follow his example as much as possible. As his health declined and I started caring for him (a real privilege as he helped so many it was only just that he got help in return when he needed it, even if it couldn’t possibly fully pay him back) and, as I picked up some of his slack I did wonder where he found the time or energy. Since he died, I have felt like a sheepdog without a flock and have found myself adopting various people - I helped a friend through her cancer journey and her son start university, I took another friend to hospital sufficiently often that she just told the staff I was her “hospital husband” (which did stop them asking questions, usually with a roll of the eyes) and, as I don’t drink, I ferry people home from the pub.

However, I can be… thoughtless and this can be really annoying, especially to the easily angered - I’ve lost a friend over it and my brother isn’t exactly my greatest fan (the other year, my niece asked if I wanted to know all the nasty things my brother said about me and I declined - if we knew what people thought about us, we’d tear each other apart). I can also be rude to people but just where it’s funny, you just have to know your audience (it can appal any bystanders though). I’m also not very emotionally expressive and I suspect at least one friend thinks I’m a sociopath.

So am I nice? Although it might depend on who you ask, I’d say no. However, I try to do as much good as possible - if anyone needs help, I’ll drop what I’m doing and pitch in.

What I do when I have spare time: write. I just don’t seem to have had any spare time recently.

Is this dead? The connection just times out.

I live by the beach and am well aware that sand gets everywhere, everywhere (a couple of weeks back I started to suspect there was some kind of.sand poltergeist as there was so much sand around). However, I have never heard anyone say anything that clunky and, if I did, I’d worry they had been dropped on their head.

“I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.”

We know how sand works George.

The Thing but not The Thing From Another World.

Most things based on the work of PKD.

A lot of Lovecraft adaptations have to be a bit loose (because his stories tend not to lend themselves to films and he wasn’t a good person) and are all the better for it - Re-animator, From Beyond, The Color Out of Space, Dagon, etc. plus quite a few fan films.

Flash Gordon film.

The first two Blade films - they struggle to make great Blade comics.

The Legion TV series.

It wasn’t even a book, more a sketch, a joke even. A lot (most?) of the adaptations of PKD’s writing are better than the original. And yet, the core concepts, about the nature of humanity and reality, break through and inspire some truly great work.

As Gillard recalled in a deep-dive into the making of “The Phantom Menace” lightsaber battle at Vulture, “George has never been in a fight in his life. So he didn’t bother, really, writing it. It would say something like, ‘A vicious lightsaber battle ensues — seven minutes,’ and you could fill in the gap there. But that’s much better for me.”

It is the best way to do it (get action directors in to nail it) but it does show the stuff Lucas was uninterested in. See also: dialogue and acting.

I have also since this post purchased MMwave sensors. But they’re worse for picking up the cats.

You can fine tune some and the Aqara FP2 seems to do a good job ignoring pets.

I ended up making binary sensors for each room in Node Red. Did I leave the room? Who else is there, nobody? Ok mark it clear…

Why not use mmWave presence sensors?

Christmas stockings hung over the fireplace in the original hall.

Ah yes, I spotted the stockings and had a horrible feeling they counted as part of the furnishings.

Pony club rosettes pinned above the window in the “child’s” bedroom.

So there are. If I am getting the house’s orientation right, there is a stables not fat behind it that has a lot of ponies for kids to ride, so it’s possible there is someone into horses in the household.

The flamingos head jutting out of the wall is more difficult to explain.

I missed that - good eye. Although, It doesn’t look like a rocking horse, more like a statue or big toy (my niece has a few like that).
