perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Well, I do have the AC on, I just don’t keep the house too cool. The air movement disperses body heat. Without the ceiling fan I would be too hot. Good wishes on a cooler future in a new home. 000 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I wonder if your allergies might then keep you up. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I can’t remember if you have a ceiling fan. When it gets hot here I’ll use mine. I do also have central AC, but try not to use too much power on cooling. I also have a BedJet heating/cooling device. It works for me, but I haven’t spent enough time finding my optimal settings and don’t often need it. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I don’t understand people with more empathy for billionaires than people really struggling to get by in this world. I appreciate that there are complex problems. We should feel obligated to try to solve them. I worry about America drifting toward oligarchy. 030 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I appreciate hearing about these challenges. We, as a society, should find ways to be more supportive of the people doing the work of building future generations. That is no easy undertaking. I expect things will improve, but for now I can only wish you well. 010 0

perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 01/04/2026I have no industry insight, but in my personal experience I buy a lot of heavily discounted ebooks that I would otherwise not even consider buying at market price. This has to be a huge sales volume increase, maybe enough to offset the discount. Other benefits are exposure & sales rank boost. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 14/03/2026At least you get to have an opinion now. I concur. Having grown up in the 80s I usually appreciated the nostalgia aspects of the series, even when cringey. But the end was just a bit too thick for my taste. 010 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 14/03/2026I wondered the same. I was surprised to see so much time left in the episode. I watched it. If you don’t watch it you’ll deprive yourself of the opportunity to have an opinion about it. ;) 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 23/02/2026I’ve enjoyed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Episodes were shorter than GoT episodes, but had faster paced story telling. Each left me looking forward to the next episode. 030 0

perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Fascinating. While we can’t rule out an Alien invasion, if the devices have the same firmware then I might think it could a bit of bad video memory. You might see if a device reset is curative. Also, you could swap boxes to see if the distortion follows the box of stays with the TV. 000 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 03/02/2026That is weird. Do you have another set-top-box to compare with? I wonder if it is a code bug, or bad video memory on device. 110 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 31/01/2026I worry that we may often be, “preaching to the choir”. It can feel good, but there is a big portion of this country whose moral values or perspectives seem to be bad. I don’t know how to reach those people… yet. 000 0

I’ve no practical advice, but offer my support and encouragement. The doneness of broccoli is subjective. Firm broccoli isn’t inherently bad, unless it way too firm. 000 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Expressive breath control is fun to experience in an EWI. The tutor will be as good as I make it. It is just another world for me to build and I love building worlds. I’m not very coordinated, so that may be my biggest challenge. I need to retrain my mind. Fun journey ahead of me. 000 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 13/01/2026And I just ordered a MicroChord. This sounds crazy. I’ve become slightly obsessed with learning all about music. I can play a few beginner songs on the piano (not well yet). I’m writing a MIDI based music tutor in Rust. I’m starting with keyboard, I will adapt it for EWI, drums & guitar. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 13/01/2026I bought a few little MIDI controllers, then a full size electronic piano w/weighted keys, then I got an Electronic Wind Instrument, Soprano Recorder, Tenor Recorder, 3 synthesizers, Ableton Move, DirtyWave M8, Launchpad Pro, Acoustic Electric Guitar. I have an e-drum coming on Wednesday… 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Possibly bad advice: I would (and did) go down a YouTube rabbit hole when I want to talk myself into buying a new toy.

perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 13/01/2026I don’t think it is, “unpredictable”, but I never took enough time to figure it out properly, so I can’t really comment. 010 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Someone who is a more competent chef than me could figure all that out. I only made mashed potatoes like twice a year, and it was always a fumble for me. Sometimes I used too much water and it took too long to get pressure. I was impressed with the device, but never spent enough time to learn it. 200 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 12/01/2026I got an Instant Pot pressure cooker. I’ve only used it for mashed potatoes for family events. It is computer controlled and doesn’t pish steam constantly like the old school PC my father has. I’ve been impressed with mine. 110 0

perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 09/01/2026By, “with the baby”, do you literally mean the baby gets in the pool? I know that can be a thing, just wondering if that is the thing you are trying to do. If so, I’m impressed. You may be raising a little surfer! 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Wow. Baby humans are difficult. Perhaps your past sleep experiments have helped you adapt to this challenge. Parenting is important work. Good wishes on more sleep ahead. 110 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 29/12/2025That makes sense. Some of our traits may be trauma responses. Without the trauma we may not have become who we are. Some childhood trauma is unavoidable, some should be avoided. Your awareness will help you navigate the mazes ahead. 010 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 29/12/2025I think I may be similar to you in some ways. I don’t see those as bad attributes. It is a question of degree. I feel an obligation to serve the world in order to pay rent for my existence. I live to be useful. My mind may be contorted into a misshapen tree, but my shape serves a purpose. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Alas, they R growing up in a different world than I did. I don’t want to deprive them of opportunities to discover their own inner strength. I want them to have a chance 2 be better than me. It is hard 2 know what is best for others. I support them, but try to leave space 4 them to find themselves. 010 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Before my nephews could speak I found it hard to engage w/them. They were like wild animals. Once they could talk I could reason with them and built great relationships with them. Of course there were (and will be) challenges. I wish I could give them the cheat codes for life that I learned. 200 0

perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 22/11/2025Too much time fighting MS. I’m an MS investor. They really had to work at losing me. I’m now trying to embrace Linux more. It isn’t perfect, but I find myself fighting it less. I’m even playing with a Linux phone. What made you buy the snapdragon surface? 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 22/11/2025Separately I was disappointed by lack of visible Linux support on launch. MS has disappointed me with pressure to login with them.

perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 22/11/2025I was excited when the snapdragon elite computers were released. I even made investments! Was going to order a dev kit. That got delayed then cancelled. Thought this would be competitive with Apple. Launch felt bungled. Q was sued by ARM. Thought MS might help make peace. I own all 3. Messy sitch. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Hopefully you have better knees than me. Running makes me feel elderly for a week after I run. I found the exercise bike to be lower impact. Even just walking can be great exercise. Wishing you a good outcome. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Weights are great also. One can do a lot with dumbbells and a small bench. I got a pair of adjustable dumbbells. The key was to also get a stand to avoid back pain. Lifting them off the floor was a literal pain in the back. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Could you consider getting an exercise bike or rowing machine to use at home? That will be easier than going to a gym. You may feel more comfortable doing a light workout until you ca rebuild fitness. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 22/10/2025I think Apple Health has a way to track, “time in bed”, using the Alarm app. I wonder if Google has something similar. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 21/10/2025I googled it. Looks like it has a digital display. It has 2/5 stars. I wonder if the battery voltage is low and is being use as an analog reference voltage. 100 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Yes, there’ve been info leaks. I follow a lot of cryptography and security people here and on Mastodon. It is concerning to see so much of the world moving toward identity mandates. 010 0

perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 28/09/2025I’ve noticed that aluminum extrusions with metric dimensions do something like that. A 2040 extrusion is listed as 400mm long. I presume it is biased towards keeping units the same. In the case you observed there may be a broader context unit bias. 010 0

perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 14/09/2025The fact that it, “smells accurate”, may the danger of this. It may even incidentally be accurate, but that doesn’t mean it, “understands’, enough context to be reliably accurate. Just be cautious, though obviously this is more for fun. :) 000 0
perspectologist.bsky.social @perspectologist.bsky.social · 14/09/2025I have an incomplete understanding, but it seems like many layers of context (spacial perception, surfing kinematic optimization) requiring special training would be required for this to actually work. Or it could just be responding with what sounds like good advice based on a language model. 110 0
