The local teleco switched to Fiber. I get 2Gbps up/down. + phone for $80 a month. I had Comcast Business for $200 a month, I had a 3 year contract for 160 the first year, then 180, then 200. Except it didn't stay that consistent. Their fees increased. the contracted base amount stayed the same.

So I'm saving 140 a month now. i may drop the phone and save another 30. And my speeds are better. So far I haven't had any issues.with reliability. 2 months of service, it's been up while I needed it.

I can't say that for Comcast either. Even on a business account, I had regular outages.

I now am dependent in part for my livelihood on paypal. Going to check my contact info there now.

I'm still using Steam. Gabe hasn't done anything to abuse my trust.

now that's a throwback!

I see it as

"We created a monster in the name of our almighty god greed, and you have to regain the control we lost.

Without it costing us anything, of course."

I thought it was US waste being our team who is monitoring it.

Exactly. That's all I've been doing lately. New Project, Start feeding Claude Code the notes. Build up the memory. Spec time comes, use him as a rubber duck, walking thru the whole process, we document everything first. I get a MD file, convert to a docx for the users, and submit. It's a good starting point, my ideas + boiler plate stuff from Claude. I could just give it to him to code out as well at this point, but I still need to go thru a review, and then there are contractors that need work....

So far this process has worked pretty well with me. There's still design in there. Like I'm the director telling the actors what we want, and then the giving the control over to them to interpret. What is nice though is I can ask if something is possible to do, and Claude can usually find out. It gives me starting options at least.

My late wife did undergraduate research in photosystem II where there was quantum effects back in 2002. She did her PhD thesis on proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) in soybean lipoxogenase, then had a long career developing models for Fortran code that did quantum simulation of proteins (she was behind Tagdock in Amber MD). This is nothing new; several biological systems have quantum effects that are central to their mechanism.

Just waiting for Rust#

And what does the language matter anyway when you can now type in pseudocode into Copilot and ask it to form perfect equivalent code in any language?

I used to play Quake with a Metallica CD in the tray.
Not sure if it was the black album or Death Magnetic though.

Only as fallback for when a website is built on the latest hype and shiny baubles instead of actual web standards, and doesn't work with Pale Moon (even with user agent set to Mozilla).

Otherwise, Pale Moon has been working on just about all websites I encounter for many years with the original uBlock and eMatrix extensions. And that with less resources.

I'm rewatching Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at this moment.

And while I am still working on OpenWater and Alignable, the only thing I've gotten from LinkedIn in the past year is rewrite-your-resume scams

Too many people think gods are real.
