jagermo··on Dilbert creator Scott Adams says he will die soon from same cancer as Joe Biden
Sucks for him, I hope he recovers or manages somehow. On the other hand, he is not a good guy. If you want to go deeper, there are some episodes on Behind the Bastards dedicated to him. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236...
jagermo··on Coffee for people who don't like coffee
hey, sometimes you just need an OrangeMoccaFrappacino
jagermo··on Coffee for people who don't like coffee
2 things I would recommend to people in a similar position:

1) Affogato: An espresso shot poured over a nice serving of ice cream. Does not have to be much, but a good vanilla gelato with an espresso over it is heaven.

2) Try a cold brew. Simply get ground coffee that smells good, put 2 to 3 scoops in a bottle, fill with water, and let it sit in the fridge for 24+ hours. After that, run it through a filter. The resulting liquid is pretty intense and has a high caffeine concentration, but, most of the time, will not taste bitter and even offer some different flavor profiles. Even cheap ground beans can taste quite good that way. You can drink it over ice in the summer or simply add some boiling water (basically an americano).

oh, and shop around for coffee places, smaller roasters and or speciality coffee shops, they normally roast different and their coffee has a wide variety of taste. from fruity to nutty, coffee can be so much more than just a dark liquid.

jagermo··on US Copyright Office found AI companies breach copyright. Its boss was fired
man, if we just had some napster fanboy in the oval office back then. Lot's of laws would not exist.
jagermo··on Mistral ships Le Chat – enterprise AI assistant that can run on prem
AI data residency is an issue for several of our customers, so I think there is still a big enough market for this.
jagermo··on Trump announces 100% tariffs on movies ‘produced in foreign lands’
I am not sure they know worth of soft power or how to use it. It's fascinating to watch.
jagermo··on Tesla Stops Accepting Its Own Cars as Trade-Ins
i mean, it's genius. they're keeping all the cybertrucks, are breaking them down and when importing steel is too expensive to buy because of the tariffs, they'll make a killing! Every cybertruck is basically a rolling depot of valuable resources! It really is 5D Jenga they are playing, you simply have to be very intelligent to understand. /s
jagermo··on Showcase: Working on a voice/text chat app in a cyberpunk style
happy to. So, there is a large community playing the Shadowrun Pen & Paper on Discord. All via chat, but you need a way to roll x amount of dice, mostly d6. https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadowrun/comments/10i5ikg/anarchy_...

With the style of the app, that would fit very well into it.

jagermo··on Showcase: Working on a voice/text chat app in a cyberpunk style
any chance you could add a dice roller and maybe an alias name feature to it? It would be great to play Shadorun anarchy or cyberpunk by post
jagermo··on The Steam Deck is software-freedom friendly
For me, the switch is the only console I trust to leave my kids alone with. Nintendo builds great games for kids, but you pay for them. I mean, launch games like Mario Odysee and Breath of the Wild are still sold at full price, years later.
jagermo··on The Steam Deck is software-freedom friendly
And there are tons. Epic, EA, Ubi Play - they are pretty shitty.

Gog is the only one I would say is on par with Steam, but they have a different niche. Still, Valve is on top and not because they hinder the competition, but because the competition likes to shoot their feet. Often.

jagermo··on Self-Hosting like it's 2025
that sounds doable. I have a raspberry pi with an SSD for my pihole (bit of overkill, but i had stuff lying around) but for things like Immich it seems to be not beefy enough.
jagermo··on Self-Hosting like it's 2025
i really like this software-centric approach, but I am a bit stuck when it comes to the hardware. Are there some sources around servers that don't suck up too much energy and are fairly quiet? What CPU is a good all-round solution?

i love the confidence of the demolitions person. Reminds me of so many Mythbusters episodes.

I also have not yet heard that he is a sex criminal, despite his lyrics.
jagermo··on Tesla sales in Europe down 45% in January
I think that was the year he went off the rail with the flamethrower, right?
jagermo··on Tesla sales in Europe down 45% in January
ah, they also have the I love Elon sticker, covering all bases. Just like Elivs manager. https://www.grunge.com/1058095/why-colonel-parker-sold-i-hat...
jagermo··on Tesla sales in Europe down 45% in January
Sales of "I bought this before Elon went crazy" stickers are up, however.
jagermo··on It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds
Not nearly as in the US, plus our version of the supreme court is not beholden to political parties
jagermo··on It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds
I mean, Europe has spent 132bn, with 115bn more allocated. Bit more than the US (114bn). https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-s...
jagermo··on The 88x31 GIF Collection
interesting, so basically a standard by simply everyone using it, like the #. Cool.
jagermo··on Grok3 Launch [video]
Agreed, it was super funny, especially if a song played in the beginning or if you switched languages. It has gotten way better, at least in my experience.
jagermo··on Grok3 Launch [video]
For me, getting summaries of meetings is my favorite use case. Saves me from taking notes and I can extract next steps.

It also helps me getting started with new content, kind of building the scaffolding of, say, a blog or social post. It still needs adaption and fine-tuning, but getting rid of a white page is a great help for me.

And I use LLMs to play through ideas and headlines. I would normally do this with other humans, but since working full remote, its a nice sparing partner, although the AI not being able to really give criticism is a bit annoying.

The tools also make it easier to write in English as a non-native, making sure my text does not include any false friends or grammar errors.

jagermo··on Suspension of inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong
> In my european experience, DHL is anything but fast when customs are involved. And I doubt they have the manpower to handle it for the new US rules.

yeah, but like with t-mobile, I think the US branch might be working better than what we are used from them in europe/germany.

jagermo··on Fair Pricing
same here, I need the highest tier available :)

jagermo··on Steam Brick: No screen, no controller, just a power button and a USB port
that's horrible! I love it.

wow, this is way more awesome than I could have thought. Very well done.
jagermo··on Garmin's –$40B Pivot
plus, no support for ANT+ is a dealbreaker.
jagermo··on Garmin's –$40B Pivot
can you elaborate on " aren't designed for wearing all the time"?

I wear my Epix 2 every day and it does all I want from a smartwatch - see incoming texts and calls while it tracks my health stats day and night. Yes, apple watch or Samsung ones may have more features, but I am not missing anything.
