34·13 days agoYears ago there was a voice to text transcription service sold as automated that worked by people listening to your voicemails and typing them out.
For 60+ I might recommend ChromeOS Flex, Mint, or Ubuntu.
It’s grow lamps simulating full sun brightness in a windowless room.
If an alarm is set for a time doesn’t exist, I expect a big warning on the Lock Screen that there’s a problem so I can fix it. Or set the alarm off early assuming that it’s better to be early than late for whatever it was.
Both are better than silent failure.
Elderly relative needed to take a pill 4x daily, including in the middle of the night. Every day. It was a repeating alarm set for 2:30.
We slept through it and they missed the pill. Not ideal.
This is interesting, I would be quite impressed if this PR got merged without additional changes.
We’ll see. Whether it gets merged in any form, it’s still a big win for me because I finally was able to get some changes implemented that I had been wanting for a couple years.
are you able to read and and have a decent understanding of the output code?
Yes. I know other coding languages and CSS. Sometimes Claude generated code that was correct but I thought it was awkward or poor, so I had it revise. For example, I wanted to handle a boolean case and it added three booleans and a function for that. I said no, you can use a single boolean for all that. Another time it duplicated a bunch of code for the single and multi-monitor cases and I had it consolidate it.
In one case, It got stuck debugging and I was able to help isolate where the error was through testing. Once I suggested where to look harder, it was able to find a subtle issue that I couldn’t spot myself. The labels were appearing far too small at one point, but I couldn’t see that Claude had changed any code that should affect the label size. It turned out two data structures hadn’t been merged correctly, so that default values weren’t getting overridden correctly. It was the sort of issue I could see a human dev introducing on the first pass.
do you know why it is uncommented?
Yes, that’s the fix for supporting floating windows. The author reported that previously there was a problem with the z-index of the labels on these windows, so that’s apparently why it was implemented but commented out. But it seems due to other changes, that problem no longer exists. I was able to test that labels on floating windows now work correctly.
Through the process, I also became more familiar with Rust tooling and Rust itself.
The lead dev is not available this summer to review, but you can review here: https://github.com/edzdez/sway-easyfocus/pull/22
It’s not great that four changes are rolled into a single PR, but that’s my issue not Claude’s because they were related and I wanted to test them all at once.
Would you like to upload a copy of all your photos to us NOW?
Try setting your alarm for the hour that’s skipped during the spring time change and see if Google thinks that was alarm was important to you or just shouldn’t exist.
This weekend I successfully used Claude to add three features in a Rust utility I had wanted for a couple years. I had opened issue requests, but no else volunteered. I had tried learning Rust, Wayland and GTK to do it myself, but the docs at the time weren’t great and the learning curve was steep. But Claude figured it all out pretty quick.
1·18 days agoSounds like a bookmarking service.
The only thing that wasn’t clear from the article was how to put a URL in the URL bar.

But it’s not self-hosted and I’m not sure it supports offline reading.
ChromeOS Flex can install and run desktop Linux software and has a terminal. What else makes it Linux-like?
ChromeOS Flex is designed as a desktop OS. Android is not.
ChromeOS Flex. Very low maintenance.
1·1 month agoIt depends. In Firefox, Chrome and LibreOffice, Shift-Insert pastes the clipboard, not the selection. Viva Linux!
Simple means different things to different people.
I self-host Ghost and find it pleasant to use and low maintenance. It is a single Docker container plus MySQL. I recommend a reverse proxy in front of it like Nginx. There are importers from many other blog formats.
