Unreasonable is any rate of acceleration that other cars can’t safely navigate around and amongst.

It should be, if not. Pedestrians need to cross roads. Other cars need to enter roads, change lanes, etc. Cars accelerating at unreasonable rates will cause an accident.

I use Autokey to automate many, many small things. I have abbreviations I type for words, and phrases and it replaces them for me.

Going further I use talon voice for voice control of the system.

I say things like “check work email” or “search duck” etc, and it does as it’s meant to. Took a while to get setup, and comfortable. But now done I am so much faster talking, rather than typing.

In one voice command for example, talon goes to my browser, selects the appropriate tab, finds the search input, enters a search phrase, including using clipboard contents, and then, selects the result, so it can load.

In terms of keys it’s maybe (rough count) 21 keystrokes. All one in one voice command. Game changer.

However, talon voice is NOT open source, and I don’t love that. As the community put in huge amounts of time and resources to extend it. Which is risky, as enshitification can come on projects like this. For now, things are good.

I just typed “african mouse” into both bing, and ddg. I got EXACTLY the same results. Which I kind of expected . Same order, everything. However, my understanding is, that DDG obfuscates the user, and doesn’t track. This is my hope, and why I use it.

I have yes. And I’d forgotten. Thank you. Adds an extra layer.

That’ll do Donkey… That’ll do.

Edit. I mean it. That calming way shrek says it. The idea that enough has been done, and that everything is OK. That I’m ok. It’s a lovely, and powerful moment in the film that translates to so many day to day situations.

Don’t pay it. In Australia they’re trying, and I remind them they get paid well, get paid overtime, get paid a pension, and get paid more to take holidays. After being paid all that, why is the shitty machine prompting a tip?

This is how I got off beer and wine during the week. Sip fizzy water. It’s perfect. Replacing one habit with another.

I heard imce that Keanu once looked in its direction.
