Oh wow... I'd sure love a black mirror for home too. That sounds cool.
And your kids? For sure they should become dentists. Don't you think?
What's that AGI kurfuffle you're talking about? Is that the Alternate Galaxy Immigration movement that I have been hearing about a lot? (it seems it will blow away All Immigration somewhere in the future)

Thanks for this episode! Really enjoyed it. For someone who is somewhat burnt out with technology, it was refreshing to hear your tech-influenced poetry. Looking forward to hearing more!

I am not a beer drinker, (Gasp...) but this was an interesting history lesson in how the Porters were made.

Great show and I hope it extends to a series. Each of these poems deserved it's own show. I found myself re-listening, and pausing to have time to contemplate the meaning of each.

Keep 'em coming.

Hi,

Thank you for your clear explanation of the use of Taskwarrior.
It would be interesting to hear about more tools you use ever day.

What are you talking about? I just went to my dentist and wanted to share my story because I was so happy with how he handled my teeth!

Reach out in private, and I'll happily share his contact information (warning though: he's not cheap! but that's obviously also testimony of how great he is)

Hi Ahuka,

Great show as your usual, with nice explanations of the science involved.
No use the Force, Luke. But then again no jokes like "Hey Darth Vader, nice suit. It must have cost you an arm and a leg" ;-)

I really like this little story, both since it is pretty funny, and highlights the absurdity of this whole thing. I think putting all of this in a different context that isn't beyond most people is a really good tool to point out just how stupid all of this is. We all know not everyone isn't as tech literate, and it infuriates me somewhat seeing that being taken advantage of...

Stop press: the decision on hashtag#chatcontrol has been removed from the agenda of the ministers of home affairs next week.

It is safe to assume that the file will be revisited later. So don't stop keeping your eye on this issue!

Would like to share this open letter by a bunch of people smarter (and a lot politer) than me...

Does TaskWarrior support CalDAV ? I use todoman, it is a CalDAV-based todo manager. Todos are read from individual icsfiles from the configured directory. This matches the vdirspecification.
https://todoman.readthedocs.io/
It is part of pimutils project [ https://pimutils.org ]
vdirsyncer can be used to sync with CalDAV server such as Nextcloud.

It's a really nice simple command line task app, I've been using it for a while. Are you able to like make a one off show like that? I don't think I'd have the material to make a lot of shows...

Hello candycanearter07,

What is Taskwarrior? I know enough to google it, but it would be great to hear a show about this, and maybe another show comparing and contrasting the two.

Posted at 2025-10-05 01:34:56 relating to the show hpr4238 which was released on 2024-10-30 by Some Guy On The Internet entitled Snaps are better than flatpaks

Hey SGOTI,

Personally I am not a fan of any of the "universal" formats. Back in the day, Slackware had .tgz, Debian had .debs, and redhat had .rpms, Then people said "that is too convoluted, AAA game designers will never put up with that!" So each of them started working on their own "universal" package format. So here we are years later, with (again) three primary formats, ubuntu has snaps, redhat has flatpak, and whoever did appimage. But now we still have 3 so called universal package formats...So how are we any better off?

You remember the old saying, "The good thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.” :D

I vaguely remember hearing the title Flowers for Algernon. Thank you for sharing about the story here. I will be checking out a copy from my local library soon.

The app seems incredibly cool, but I'm still most likely going to stick with taskwarrior. Best of luck with development, though!

Hey enistello,

I'm afraid I won't be able to submit any more podcasts to HPR if I want my career to end at a high point. So much flattery is dangerous.

Glad you enjoyed the episode

(oh, don't worry, my inner troll is too strong, before I know it, I'll be spitting out my next soap box episode. Haven't decided who I'll insult in that one)

Thank you trollercoaster for an inciteful and genuinely funny (yet bittersweet) episode.
Whether or not the audience loves or hates AI, you covered the MIT research paper objectively and in a way that made me LOL more than once.
Thanks again!

I really like this idea! The whole thing of having thought provoking poems is pretty cool, despite the length being kinda short.

Also, is the League of Better Villans a real thing?
