I’ve always liked the intro to The Spy Who Loved Me. Escaping the bad guys by skiing off a mountain, pulling the rip cord to reveal the Union Jack in the parachute. Just awesome. #jamesbond

For #footpathfriday I'm sharing this one again. It's really one of our most liked trails.
Even though it doesn't gain a lot of elevation, the path along the shore of the lake is all I like:
narrow, pretty nature like, absolutely great views, bends along the shores so that you don't see too far, and mountains all around ... what else would you need 🙂
Anyone have suggestions on CI platforms/dashboards besides github actions?
I'm looking at using CDash potentially for ngscopeclient moving forward but need to work out specifics of how the jobs will actually be launched etc.
(I liked CDash years ago when I used it for my thesis but havent touched it in forever)

I am not a fan of the Credits system in RE9 seen in Racoon City for Leon. That one change makes RE9 into an arcade style game and not the survival horror that I remember RE series to be. I liked the gameplay till the Care Center but now I am not into it.

I've renamed my web browser project from SWB to Sunstone.
The sunstone was a translucent mineral prized by Viking navigators because it had a natural property that polarized light, making it possible to see through the haze and find the sun on a hazy day - quite common in the North Atlantic. I liked the connection to a primitive navigation tool.

I caught up with my YouTube, two good videos from NotJustBikes about cars and oil being bad.
I really liked all the links in leadership this week, all highly recommended.

My mini review of Shen Yun: it isn't the fanciest example of chinese dancing I've ever seen (that honor goes to the "Romance of the Song Dynasty" show at the Songcheng Romance Park) but I liked it. It was worth the $30 I paid.
No one has ever liked Andrew. There was a leak from the Buckingham Palace police protection squad back in the 1990s IIRC, where inter alia the code names they used over radio were given:
The Queen: Purple One
Prince Phillip: the Greek
Prince Charles: Big Ears
Prince Andrew: the C*nt
following jvns asking about good man pages, i have some thoughts about what i have liked and disliked when reading man pages, how i have tried to improve them, and guidelines i follow when writing them https://lobste.rs/c/chyw2a

@… maybe it feels like a giant spoiler is being forced on people who liked the anonymity?
It’s always so weird when someone you looked up to and liked suddenly out of nowhere starts defending “AI”, especially uninvited (e.g. when you have a conversation with someone else on social media).
I think it’s a reflexive way to try to distract themselves from them knowing that AI has tons of problems yet they’re still using it because it’s convenient in some fashion.
Sure landmines are convenient too for some uses, yet…

Unfortunately, my experiment with CachyOS is over, even though I gave the system a fair chance this time.
First of all, I really liked CachyOS. The speed is phenomenal, and everything would have been perfect except for one tiny detail that is essential for me: Localsend didn't work.
And I couldn't figure out why. I was able to install the program easily, and my computer recognized all the devices around it. Except for the devices around my computer with CachyOS on it... a…
Just watched Predator Badlands. Contrary to what I thought, I liked the movie and it wasn't a cliché predator movie. Unexpected, I liked it.

Just finished "Song of A Blackbird" by Maria van Lieshout. It's an excellent and extremely timely historical fiction graphic novel about rediscovering a family connection that was severed by war, and the Dutch Resistance figures under Nazi occupation who saved many lives, in some cases at the cost of their own.
Despite being fiction, it's very closely grounded in historical facts, and the inclusion of photographs within the illustrations is really cool.
Now is an interesting time to be thinking about the fates of Nazis, collaborators, their victims, and the resistance, as well as how we remember them all. I especially liked the section at the end about the real historical figures and their fates. So "fascinating" that none of the Nazis were executed or died in prison (mostly they did serve long terms before their release), even those who oversaw mass killings and deportations to concentration camps. I'm a prison abolitionist and not a fan of state capital punishment, so on *some* level this seems like an outcome I should be happy about, but I somehow doubt that the state was this lenient for all prisoners during this time period...

Just re-watched Villeneuve’s Dune part 1. I swear to Satan 99% of this movie’s frames are <5% luma. Is this a plot to sell OLED TVs? « Yo dawg I heard you liked black frames »
I always liked the quote "and Magda
Goebbels made a great strudel" and have used it in conversation. (Although a strong contender for it's replacement in my vernacular is "But the Dow is over 50,000")
Great tweet from NickyFrank30 over on the site formerly known as Twitter - although he seems to have locked down his X account and deleted tweets like so many folks have.

#Researchers or other professions who read articles for your work - which do you find better for focus, information processing and memorisation: reading on an electronic medium (computer, tablet, phone...) or on actual paper?
I thought I liked the electronic format but I'm wondering if it makes it harder to focus or remember things..

Trying out Songkick to keep track of touring artists, as I never really liked using Bandsintown years ago. The Songkick UI is already way better. Since I don't use Spotify, I just searched for and added all the artists I could think of that I'd want to see. I currently have 105. 😂 Not that I currently or recently make it out to many shows. But still.

I've been using #navidrome for a few years now. I really liked it.
Over the past two months or so, it keeps crashing. I've never had that happen before, but now half the time when I load the web interface, it's unavailable and I have to manually start it.
I also noticed that merge requests and commits to the project seem to be making heavy use of AI tools.

Two weeks of links. A lot of AI related articles again. I liked the paper about using chatbots in leadership, and the one about the YAML of the mind.
If you want a podcast, check out the one about night trains.

It was a book to kill time for those who liked it better dead.
I saw the email about @… merging with MLH (never heard of it before today either). The collapse of legacy social media that began in 2022 has to be part of why that happened. I really liked their community behind them before they fell off of the internet.
Tories/Republicans - you don't like Star Trek. You never liked Star Trek.
You were just looking at some explosions on telly.

So I tested a split keyboard last week, and there were a few things that bothered me about it (more on that later) so I figured I would look for other keyboards...
Oh shit, rabbit hole!
I didn't find any split keyboard that I liked, and besides that they are super expensive! Like, I've paid less for computers than some of those keyboards cost.
So then I thought about building one, but that gets expensive as well, and...

I liked it better as a kid when we could believe our country didn't start wars, but finished them. It wasn't true even then, but we could think it.
Many months late but I did a pilgrimage to the Line 6 Finch West LRT.
Rode from Finch West to Humber and back (with a stop at Plaza Latina)
I liked the train, comfortable and mostly smooth.
But after Chow announcement that signal priority was active… I wonder if they had to roll it back? We had to stop at almost half the red lights. This line would be amazing if only it wasn’t stopping all-the-time.
I liked the name Bard more than the name Gemini
But hey, they are both not really useful so who cares.

What I liked this article for were the multiple links to make the case. It's not a blog post about a hunch.
I've finally finished VALIS, took months when it shoulda taken a week cuz of getting caught in the suicidal era. Free to read something else!! Now I'm tryna decide what to read next:

Jodorowsky met with ex-Beatle George Harrison as Harrison liked El Topo a lot and was willing to fund and star in The Holy Mountain. He loved the script but had one note. He wasn't willing to show his anus as the script demanded. Jodorosky said "You have to, this isn't just a film, this will change people's minds." In the end Harrison was still unwilling so Jodorowsky walked away from the millions of dollars he would have provided as well as the publicity he could have …
