Intermittent hardware issues with the desktop becoming more persistent, so I’m on the laptop until I figure out what to do about it.

And of course immediately noticing how much quieter M1 MBP is than full tower with GPU card.

@bitprophet Last time I looked into this I found a few possible causes.

So I froze up.

I have a headset somewhere around here.

I also have cats.

The fact I can find the cats but not the headset seems somehow related.

@tk It would make my next work meeting more entertaining, yes.

@tk especially given these are not “chill out wherever you put them” cats.

🤔 (I need to express the severity of quality concerns with this repo without any kind of blame or recrimination)

“This code is kind of (lilting) shit?”

🤔 nailed it

@m Enjoy! The real fun is once you build a little muscle memory and then sit in front of a standard keyboard.

@carlton @webology in my workflow notes I describe Python version used as “the freshest release I can get away with.”

@mcc hang on. Centipede arcade used a trackball? I lived that game but long ago forgot the specifics of the controller.

(looks at trackball collections)

It is certainly a piece of the puzzle.

PDF area highlighting in Heptabase is easy and pretty nifty – especially with being able to drag highlights onto your whiteboard.

Way easier for grabbing infographics off slides than my routine of screenshot, region, to clipboard, paste. Plus it’s still indexed in your workspace-wide highlights list.

@jalefkowit exactly like the Eddie Murphy bit, yes agreed.

What a lovely house!

“GET OUT”

Too bad we can’t stay!

On the bright side, everyone within a couple miles knows when Bouncy Dog is doing his rounds.

Oh heck. i knew Trilium went into maintenance mode earlier this year, and that bummed me out. But there’s an officially blessed fork, already with half a dozen releases, code organization and library updates, and new features.

Note: Apple Silicon folks currently need to tell macOS it’s cool with: xattr -c /Applications/TriliumNext\ Notes.app
