6.5 hour drive ❌
3.5 hours for traffic ✅
Google Maps presented a secondary road shortcut. Looked like a good idea b/c it wasn’t colored deep red like the traffic jam in front of us.
However, I think they don’t calculate traffic delays on secondary roads. Everyone had the same idea.
I looked down & it said 35 minutes to go. Had to pee, but fine I can hold it.
15 min later, looked down… 35 min to go. 😱
For the next two hours, as we inched along… 35 min…

It’s *wild* to me that Google Drive has no option to see how large a folder is on disk 😭

I usually quite like Google Drive, but for some reason my work account is not accepting a change in interface language.
This seems to be a known problem.

Alternatives to Big Tech/Big Data:
Windows, Apple, Google -> Linux (Debian, Fedora, Mint, Arch...)
Microsoft Office -> LibreOffice (Only Office would also work, but the founders are Russian, who knows...)
Google Android, Apple iOS -> Pixel with GrapheneOS, Fairphone 6 with /e/OS, Brax 3 with iode OS/Ubuntu Touch
OneDrive, Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, etc. -> Nextcloud, MEGA, pCloud, Proton Drive
Outlook, Gmail, etc. -> Proton Mail, Tutanota

I've been using Pika Backup with a google drive destination for at least a year and it's always been relatively smooth.
For the last three days, though, it's been complaining the destination is unresponsive (although I can browse it happily from commandline etc).
Some new package released three days ago that might interfere?
Update: looks like there was a flatpak-runtime org.gnome.Platform on the 17th.
Ideas anybody?

"The real threat posed by generative AI is not that it will eliminate work on a mass scale, rendering human labour obsolete. It is that, left unchecked, it will continue to transform work in ways that deepen precarity, intensify surveillance, and widen existing inequalities."
"The current trajectory of generative AI reflects the priorities of firms seeking to lower costs, discipline workers, and consolidate profits — not any drive to enhance human flourishing. If we allo…

Quasi-Discrete Time Crystals in the quasiperiodically driven Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model
A discrete time crystal (DTC) is a remarkable non-equilibrium phase of matter characterized by the persistent sub-harmonic oscillations of physical observables in periodically driven many-body systems. Motivated by the question of whether such a temporal periodic order can persist when the drive becomes aperiodic, we investigate the dynamics of a Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model under quasiperiodic Thue-Morse (TM) driving. Intriguingly, this infinite-range-interacting spin system can host ``quasi-dis…
