3) Googles Gemini "The Red Hand Files Issue #311" is about • Nick Cave responds to two questions: one about guilt and loss, and another about what song to play at one's funeral. • Cave advises to move on from guilt and focus on kindness and love.

2) So it’s fascinating when Google wants me to use its AI agent to “summarize“… I wonder if they mean to minimize or to trivialize or to … lobotomize … versus summarize… I would guess to basically dehumanize..

1) So I love the Nick Cave Red Hand files newsletter where he takes time to reprint, thoughtful questions as well as a reverent responses and takes time to respond to each of those the key is the taking time…

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

Enjoying upcycling, old laptops… I’m especially enjoying popOS… I’m trying to turn these slabs into makerspace utility laptops with Inkscape and inkstitch, gimp, MS visual code, steam, Seamly, LocalSend, bamboo app for bamboo printers, Falkon, sonic pi, OBS studio… chromium,MS edge…
