Moe Lestor made me laugh. Good one.

I always thought labeling the death penalty as post-natal abortions would get the conservatives against it.

A colleague had two and they went for a third and got twins. That was a rough time for him.

Why? They had a projector that worked on that giant screen and it was dark outside. It was completely fine.

Yes. On a huge screen outside. I think it could rotate, for some reason.

That's funny. Just a few days ago I was talking about seeing Princess Mononoke at the Expo in Germany and I wondered whether Expo is still a thing. I hadn't heard anything about an Expo in decades. And now I see that they still do that and it's even in Japan this year. Feels like the circle closes. I find that mildly interesting.

So many people don't understand that children are people and people have rights. You are responsible for your children, you don't own them. If you don't like that, simply don't have kids.

The mail I got makes it quite clear that you have to opt-in if you're using a paid version:

Dear JetBrains AI user,

We are notifying you that on October 7, 2025, we will roll out an updated version of the JetBrains AI Terms of Service. The main change is in the data sharing clause. Previously we said we wouldn’t use your inputs, data, outputs, or suggestions to train AI models. This is still the case, unless you explicitly allow us to do so.

• For individuals using JetBrains IDEs with commercial licenses, free trials, free community licenses, or EAP builds who do not explicitly consent to the new data collection model – nothing changes.
• For companies that are unwilling or, for legal reasons, unable to opt in to the program – nothing changes either, and their admins remain in full control.

Important to note that the data sharing is OFF by default on all types of JetBrains IDEs licenses except for non-commercial tier until you change the settings explicitly.

For more details about the change, please read this blog post.

Other updates to the JetBrains AI Terms of Service reflect some recent changes to the JetBrains AI service. For example, JetBrains AI can now be used not only with JetBrains products, but also with selected third-party products. The service also includes a new feature that allows you to upload various content for indexing.

For the existing users, the updates will take effect on October 7, 2025. By using JetBrains AI after this date, you agree to the updated JetBrains AI Terms of Service.

Highlight by me. Personally, I don't see a reason to be outraged. I've even used their AI products and they're OK. They can take over dumb tasks or help me not having to look up documentation.

Chickens will eat meat and insects.

You can also just use "random password x" with x being a number. What I use more often is "random uuid" which I hope is self explanatory.

My daughter got into anime through friends and I got some street creds by talking about how things used to be. Buying laserdiscs in Japan, subbing them and showing them at conventions. I subbed two episodes of some show I don't remember. Or shipping VHS tapes across continents. My daughter doesn't care, of course. But her friends were impressed. I fear that that was my last hurrah, though. I got nothing else.

Well, that sounds good. But my god is that a complicated mess. It's not working for me and I don't have the will to deal with that crap anymore. Set up my own CouchDB, ran the init script, connection test is fine. But I can't get the plugin to actually sync anything, it just keeps failing with "Failed to initialise the encryption key, preventing replication". Whatever that means. It won't explain which encryption key or what failed. I did not enable E2E encryption.

In general, yes. The main app works fine. But when I try to connect the notes app to my account, it just crashes and loops back.

Edit: Nevermind, I fixed it. Works fine now and looks to be exactly what I need. It was also trivial to import all my Trilium notes.

Well, OK, you got me to give that a try!

Why videos? I feel like an old man yelling at clouds every time something that sounds interesting is presented in a fucking video. Videos are so damn awful. They take time, I need audio and I can't copy&paste. Why have they become the default for things that should've been a blog post?

I remember driving out of Miami and even after an hour on the highway there were still exit signs for 10000th street or some shit like that. The American sprawl is difficult for Europeans to comprehend.

I'm not mentally ill enough for that. 😛

That solution doesn't exactly spark joy. Folder sync in general is, in my experience, too error prone. So I just stay away from it. Maybe I'll need to finally give it another try.

I have a Nextcloud instance, which I don't use much because the native apps are janky as fuck. I tried the notes app just now and it just won't even let me connect to my account. That's a level of bullshit I don't have the energy to deal with. Which is sad, because it would be nice to use something I already have.

Exactly. I was kind of happy there's another Tron movie. But when I saw Leto's in it, I lost all interest.
