Heard from a GenZ: "Grass Museum" - A (usually suburban/exurban) house where the homeowner spends an incredible amount of time, money, energy, and chemicals to maintain a perfectly emerald green lawn that is never used by them for any reason. #grassmuseum

Hard-core #carbon #sequestration: grow some fast growing plants. Harvest them. Using solar-powered furnace, carbonize them. Using solar powered process, turn that carbon into plasma, then grow #diamond with the carbon plasma. That carbon isn't going anywhere going forward.

MacOS Tahoe 26.2 is Apple's Windows Vista. It even has Frutiger Aero inspired aesthetics and Windows Vista inspired usability.

[ghostis @ghostis]

Ok. There's one huge upside in my experience that trumps all the downsides of Tahoe: CIFS/SMB support seems to be much more reliable. I'm very grateful for that considering how janky it was in the previous macOS.

I wrote too soon. As of the last macOS 26 update, screenshots won't save to an SMB share.

#PowerPoint now feels clunky to use, because now I can describe slides to Claude Code and have it generate LaTeX or HTML/CSS slides.

[ghostis @ghostis]

Heh. Other people at work are also doing this now. Someone baked a "Make a presentation in style of $Company" that people are using now. Things are moving fast. 🤨

@tferriss Would it be possible to have Hundred Rabbits on your podcast? Ask them about their experience with the fragility of technology while sailing across the Pacific Ocean to Japan. See also their log book "Busy Doing Nothing" about sailing back from Japan to Vancouver.
