Markor is a handy fast Android note taking app with Markdown and todo.txt support.

Since everything it creates are text files, it pairs well with various file syncing apps recommend in this thread.

Breakout71

I could not believe I didn’t find this fun free gem sooner. I’ll let the description from F-Droid explain the details:

This is a roguelike twist on the original Breakout formula: The goal is to catch as many coins as possible during 7 levels. Coins appear when you break bricks. They fly around, bounce and roll, and you need to catch them with your paddle. At the end of the level, you get to pick upgrades. There are 50+ different upgrades that impact the gameplay in various ways. Many upgrades will impact your combo, that’s the number of coins spawned for each brick broken. Your “combo” is displayed on your paddle. Your score is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. Oh, and don’t miss the ball, you don’t have extra lives.

Dino (for desktop) pairs nicely with Conversations for Android (mobile).

AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

At least my million dollar ideas friends wasting AI’s time with the useless crap, instead of ruining a perfectly nice meal conversation with me.

Of course, I know it is only buying me a few months. The “quick fix to my AI app” requests are gathering on the horizon.

But these aren’t just any apps, these are shitty half-assed apsps generated from a slurry of unrelated mediocre code scraped from the corners of the web.

I am not looking forward to next year when every new aspect of any service I use online will have an 80% chance to be a half-assed shit slurry.

Today’s 65% chance was already time consuming and exhausting.

It turns out that an orphan can inherit a critical trait from their parents: “habit of standing in the way of an important player character’s ongoing battle.”

“Oh well, as they say, the best laid plans of mice…”

“…and men?”

“What have men got to do with it?!”

We’ve figured out what happened to the Wrigley Field bathrooms (continuously, every minute or so, for decades)!

I am, of course joking. We all know the

Is it just all of them?

I’ve heard of CEOs who made the mistake of buying cocaine for future quarters, and never getting to enjoy it.

As a bit of a programmer, they’re telling me they want a marketplace where instead of paying proactively for my time and advice, they come to me only after everything is 100% on fire?

Let’s do this.

I assure my prices will be quite reasonable, for the situation.

Incidentally, what’s everyone’s favorite supercar?

Yes. There’s no telling what this is. this could be anything. We tried to keep track of this, but no one knows when this will change.

Good summary. Minor clarifying point: the wife leaves with the kids in all three options.

The battery life on GrapheneOS can be epic.

It stands out when my friends do a “How is everyone’s phone battery?” check after a long day hiking, and I’m still above 30% while theirs are dead or dying.

The Excel-like thing that ships with a Synology NAS is really nice.

I agree. I’m going to start brooming the room. Thank you for this insight.

I like that this alternately looks like a dove, or an open hand coming forward to slap some sense into me.

That reminds me of how I was taught to determine which bears are local, by examinimg bear droppings:

• Black Bear: berries and nuts
• Polar bear: fish, seal, rabbit meat
• Grizzly bear: bear bells, bits of Bluetooth speaker, RIA merchandise fabric, bike pedals

“…checked [an API key] into GitHub…”

Ouch. But who hasn’t?

“Elez removed the key from his GitHub but the key itself was not revoked, allowing continued access to the AI models.”

Okay, that’s deeply bad…Maybe has no idea how API keys, or the Internet works…? Definitely lacks security advisors (or has them and ignored them).

Greedo shot first.
