It takes a significant investment of time and money, so all my free time is spent in the Thing and the rest of the Thing is stored away in a location I pay rent on. I may not have time to maintain the Thing so I have to pay someone to do that for me. Thats why I can only have one Thing.<br/><br/>And for people who don’t have any free time, their house or apartment becomes their Thing too<br/><br/>For me to make a boat my home, I have to be able to keep it moving and fix it myself, and get rid of everything else. To have that confidence, I’d have to have grown up on the water, made a career of it on some else’s boat, or spent years having it be my Thing<br/><br/>Did you take any of those paths? 2024-09-07T21:34:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsykwj30vuhvv8gt85q2pc066qagqj2e0sww58ux0xnrr4782w278szyqug0azqm7nm8qzdkyq54h3syjucj408yx4sg6kr8us57y3h7gpyw4rcknc Takes:<br/><br/>Warm: the bastards will always try to steal your words, twist their meaning, and turn them back on you<br/><br/>Hot: Never trust anyone who takes AI money, they were shills all along<br/><br/>Radioactive: NaNoWriMo fosters a culture of fungible content creators who provide a steady stream of characters and can be easily replaced by LLM-managerial chimeras<br/><a href="https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/113067560528135469">https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/113067560528135469</a> 2024-09-02T15:31:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9s40vrkr2frnnjtnfgyzfrkm26chylp0cq33k0p5etr3tkjvlpagzyqug0azqm7nm8qzdkyq54h3syjucj408yx4sg6kr8us57y3h7gpywyrdsgs uConsole with RP CM4 and Wine via Pi-Apps seems to be good enough to run the random CPS or other random bit of Windows software to administer hobby radio/electronics in the field<br/><br/>But Wine, like other programs running in Linux, will sometimes just… hang for ten seconds?
