Google won't bring new Nest Thermostats to Europe

Heating systems in Europe are unique and have a variety of hardware and software requirements that make it challenging to build for the diverse set of homes

AKA. Europe probably has hardware and software requirements that make it so Google can't

A) Harvest your data; and/or B) Must be able to function without an internet connection (aka. they can't kill it)

A West Virginia prosecutor is warning women that a miscarriage could lead to criminal charges

I am literally dumbfounded. What in the world is going on in the US? It's traumatizing enough to miscarry; then the justice system wants to put you in prison?

I've been reading a lot on pregnancy recently and from what I understand, the feasibility of pregnancy ultimately comes down to genetics and statistics (assuming you're doing what you can to maintain a healthy pregnancy). You could be in the 3rd trimester and your baby could strangle itself on the umbilical cord. What the fuck are you supposed to do then?

We've got an administration that is...

  • Pro life, but go to prison if you try and fail.
  • Pro health, but anti vax
  • Pro justice, but anti due process
  • Pro Innovation, but anti employment?

The list goes on, and on. I thought we were in the stupid timeline, but holy shit - this is well beyond that now

College professor here. The way I see it, AI is inevitable and it's here to stay. Fighting against AI would be like trying to fight against pocket calculators in the 70s. It's coming whether we like it or not, in class and in the real world; so we need to focus on adjusting the curriculums to work with it, rather than against it.

Right now, a lot of course curriculums are predominantly regurgitation based learning: I'll tell you X, you tell me X but in 3 months. But AI trivializes that way of thinking. If I want to, I can get ChatGPT to generate an entire essay on the impact of ink drying speeds to the colour of grass. Whatever I want, it takes it 10s to write. However, LLMs still struggle with critical thinking, nuances, and originality; which I think is the more important aspect of education.

Any advice on getting back together with a partner you cheated on ? Tips for reconciliation ?

Being honest - it doesn't sound like you love him, but rather want to stay in his nice house.

Regardless of if you love him or not, that trust that's needed for a stable, long-term relationship has been obliterated. Every single thing you do will be questioned, outloud or at least subconsciously. That is not going to be good for a healthy relationship.

I'd suggest that if you want to be in a happy and healthy relationship, it's probably a good idea to move on from this one. Take time to reflect and ask yourself why you cheated on this guy - obviously you were unhappy enough to seek someone else, but what made you unhappy in the first place? It could be something about them, but it could be something about yourself too - in which case, you might want to talk to a therapist

If you did want to get back with your ex, I'd suggest giving him space and letting him decide if he wants to come back to the table, and when he wants to. If you seriously like him, don't see anyone else until he decides what he wants to do; but put a time limit on it for your own sanity. Then, after the time is up, give up on the relationship and move on. Tell a friend of yours about your plan so they can help keep you accountable in case you may not be in the right frame of mind

SSH managers on Linux?

Not a GUI, but I keep my ~/.ssh/config clean by splitting my configs into folders, and including them in the main ~/.ssh/config.

I have the folder, ~/.ssh/config.d/, and here's what it looks like:

~/.ssh/config.d
.
├── work
│   ├── dev.config
│   ├── staging.config
│   └── prod.config
└── server
    ├── development.config
    ├── containers.config
    ├── home.config
    ├── pis.config
    └── server.config

Then my ~/.ssh/config looks like this:

Include config.d/work/*
Include config.d/server/*
Include config.d/other/*

AOC Tears Apart Republican “Math” on Medicaid Cuts

I hate that we already know that there's going to be bullshit in every bill that hits the floor; but it's just going to carry on through without resistance

Sure - AOC is "tearing it apart", but the republicans don't give a shit, they'll will just vote in favour regardless, and it'll get passed

Also, what's the point of voting anyway? Wouldn't DOGE just make the cuts anyway?
