@Viss One of my very first jobs was software working for a pathologist in neuroanatomy, and work on a laserdisc containing thousands and thousands of pathology images (ie ways people died). The number of images of people who had accidentally killed themselves using nail guns was VERY LARGE. Don't use nail guns...

Asking the Fedi for help!

Every year I "adopt" two seniors, get their wish lists, and try to buy everything on those lists. Some things are easy, but the clothes (the bulk of the lists) can be hard.

I do all my purchasing online. Last year someone pointed me to the Vermont Country Store and I've already made some purchases there — but they don't have everything I need.

And searching at department stores web sites (like Macys) is horrible. I can't narrow down my search enough (for things like washable, or open-front sweater) so I might have hundreds of sweaters or slacks to search though. And a search for a shawl brings up many things that aren't shawls.

So: Does anyone have good high-quality clothing stores, with clothes appropriate for senior women, to recommend to me? In the US, please. I need sweaters, blouses, pants — and a shawl. And obviously no Amazon.

@lrhodes @mcc i agree with this but yet can also imagine that people hold the opposite pov at the same time. That while it was pretty difficult to contribute something to a project you loved and used before if it was nontrivial in size, now you can “just” vibe code up a fix for that annoying bug that never gets fixed or that feature you want. So I can imagine people feel LLMs make the source code *more* open not less. Not that I want their patches that they don’t even understand but yeah.

And completed Selvedge jeans#2 (with massive extra bottom edge, lol... I am anticipating a bit more shrinkage with this pair. Even though the fabric was washed once. Still very stiff and bleeding indigo). Fits fine but hard-to-bend-over stiff... will have to take photos of them on later. #sewing

Car will not charge with the damage from the deer. 😢
She is being towed the 82km home as there was only 80km on the battery.

I hope we can fix her! 😢

@mcc One of my issues with the four freedoms is that they outline a situation that only ever need be hypothetical. Sure, you're free to read and modify the source code, but people mostly don't. The bigger and more complicated the code gets, the bigger the lift for exercising those freedoms. That was true long before anyone put LLMs into the mix, but LLMs intensify the negative pressures that discourage people from applying those freedoms as more than merely hypothetical.

@woozle @ai6yr @Dougfir California developers have tried "space saving" homes on stilts before. Many apartments were built over stick carports.

They didn't fair so well during earthquakes.
We need to think of both.

Okay so it appears KVM is the standard VM management layer on Linux, and HVF is the standard VM management layer on MacOS.

This makes the error message seem the more curious, because I got the error on Windows. Is what the error message really saying "You cannot use -cpu host on Windows"?
