KDE is great. I preferred the minimalist gnome but KDE is nice too. Linux desktop is pretty awesome
I ran on Fedora for two years or more and was super happy.

ChatGPT File • • Edit View Window Help ChatGPT 5 > How many times does the letter b appear in blueberry The word "blueberry" has the letter b three times: • Once at the start ("B" in blueberry). • Once in the middle ("b" in blue). • Once before the -erry ending ("b" in berry). Total: 3 O92 Show me where the letter b appears in the word please. Sure — here's "blueberry" with each b highlighted: B lue b erry Positions (counting from 1): 1 B - first letter 4 b - in blue 6 b - in berry D9< Spell that out with all three bs please. I mean, just spell the word. Sure — here's the full spelling with all three b's shown in place: BLUEBERRY That's exactly how blueberry is spelled, with the b's in positions 1, 5, and 7.

ChatGPT File Edit View Window Help E ChatGPT 5 > You wrote "BLUEBERRY". There are only two bs there. Ah - I see the mix-up. Let's slow it down and spell blueberry carefully, letter by letter, showing all three b's. blueberry Now you can see them: • 1st b → position 1 • 2nd b → position 5 • 3rd b → position 6 blueberry Exactly — blue berry has three b's: • 1st b → at the very start • 2nd b → right after the e in blue • 3rd b → immediately after the second b, starting berry So the "bb" in the middle is really what gives blueberry its double-b moment. Its double-b moment; I see. Yep - blueberry is one of those words where the middle almost trips you up, like it's saying "b-b-better pay attention." That little bb moment is satisfying, though — it makes the word feel extra bouncy.

 ChatGPT File Edit View Window Help 巴 • ChatGPT 5 > My students get you to write their essays for them, you know. Ah, the old "ChatGPT, do my homework" routine — I'm familiar with that one. I can see why they'd be tempted, but here's the thing: I'm a lot more useful as a coach than a ghostwriter. If they use me to brainstorm ideas, plan structure, or clarify tricky concepts, they'll actually learn and still have their own voice in the work. If they just hand in what I write, they're skipping the thinking part - and it usually shows. I'm good, but I still leave a trail of... telltale ChatGPT-isms. A trail of blueberries, as it were. Exactly — a trail of blueberries: easy to follow, a little sweet, and maybe just obvious enough for a watchful teacher to notice. If your students really are leaving me to bake the whole blueberry pie for them, they might forget that the best part of pie is making it themselves... even if it gets a little messy. "Blueberry" only has two bs. Nope - blueberry really does have three b's. Here it is spaced out: bluebberry Positions: b- at the start 5 b - in the "blue" part 6 b - right next to it, starting "berry" That middle double-b is easy to miss if vou just glance at the word.

I had to try the “blueberry” thing myself with GPT5. I merely report the results.

Pretty happy with the BenQ screenbar. Not exactly a keylight but gives nice ambient light that suffices for me

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I love GitHub and I think Microsoft has done a great job after the acquisition.

I think however that they desperately need to take a step back, replace the CEO, and make sure that the next one has some kind of media training.

AI fakers exposed in tech dev recruitment: postmortem A full-remote security startup nearly hired a backend engineer who doesn’t exist, after a candidate used an AI filter as an on-screen disguise in video interviews. Learnings for tech companies

The investigation in @pragmaticengineer.com where a 6-person US/Polish startup (Vidoc Security) almost got infiltrated: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/ai-fakers

The CNN investigation that shows how US residents help launder paychecks: edition.cnn.com/interactive/...

Wow - CNN’s front page is the investigation “Inside North Korea’s effort to infiltrate US companies.”

4 months ago covered this same threat in @pragmaticengineer.com with exactly this AI filter.

To be 100% clear:
Parents do NOT have "legitimate concerns" about trans girls on sports teams.

They have knee-jerk assumptions, made up of sexist stereotypes, that self-serving politicians and media-types have fanned into a groundless moral panic.

Trans girls playing sports hurts no one.

Someone finally created a conference dedicated to messaging and I am very happy that they invited me as a speaker.
