Don't know if this will help assuage your fears: https://www.techradar.com/news/mullvads-no-log-policy-proven-after-police-raid

I've used Mullvad for years, and from what I know, they store almost nothing -- only your randomly generated account number. If you are paying using an anonymous method that's even less to go on.

Neovim Is a highly customizable, modal text editor program. Probably no what you're looking for as far as terninal emulators go, but I use it daily as a near-IDE on desktop. Look into LazyVim for an easy way to get started.

I can second KDE connect--use it between my phone and Manjaro. Can't speak to the other applications because I don't have a use-case for many of their functions on a smart phone myself.

Also looking forward to this week here. Work from home is awesome! I just spent a month and a half on a cross-country (USA) road trip while working the whole time. I'm fortunate for the opportunity to do so--and to visit and crash with friends and family along the way--but I am glad to be home.

My wife and I towed a 5' x 8' U-haul trailer the 2,000+ miles back home from FL to CO, moving our friend's stuff in so he can live with us for a while (he drove back with us in his own car). A really awesome trip in a lot of respects, but stressful to take meetings and try to program on the go. Learned my lesson: two weeks max for a trip like that, or take the PTO.

Am I one of the few who just doesn't use AI at all? I don't have to generate tons of code for work at the moment and brand new projects that I've been given are small--meaning I wouldn't necessarily use it to generate starter boilerplate. I have coworkers that love copilot or spend much longer prompting ChatGPT than they would if they wrote code themselves. A majority of my time is spent modelling the problem, gathering rejuirements, researching others' solutions online (likely this step could be better AI-assisted?), not actually implementing a solution in code.

Anyway, I'm not super anti-AI in software development, and I see where it could be useful. Maybe it just isn't for me yet. The current hype around it as well as the attitude of big-tech exceptionalism ("AI can salve all our problems") feels a bit like a bubble, at least regarding the current generation of LLMs and ML

I thought the same and just rolled with it. What was the whole jean thing anyway?

 

This was a fascinating and informative read. I hope the author makes progress on "creating an open-source project to de-cloud and debug smart home products"; I would love to contribute to something like that!
