The IFTT AI services are interesting. https://ifttt.com/explore/ifttt-ai

I'm wondering if there are any reviews of it somewhere.

It seems useful because anyone can easily hook it up with various services.

MenuBarX is a utility app on Setapp that helps users organize their most frequently-used applications into a single, easy-to-access menu bar. I set it so I always have ChatGPT available in the Menu bar. MenubarX - Productivity App for macOS

The Aiko app is pretty neat.

You can record audio and transcribe it locally using Open Whisper from OpenAI.

It's easy to use too.

Here's a link to the Aiko app from Sindre Sorhus.

Strange problem of using ChatGPT on Microsoft Edge. The website keeps loading or reloading constantly without going to the home page or the login page. It just says please stand by while we are checking your browser. Anybody know what’s going on with that?

The Perils of Capitalism: A Warning in Verse

Capitalism, a system that once promised wealth,
Has now brought forth a life unfelt.
Greed and exploitation, its toxic roots entwine,
Leaving behind a world that's lost its shine.
The rich get richer while the poor are left to fall,
Their hopes and dreams are crushed under capitalism's thrall.
The earth is plundered for the sake of endless growth,
Leaving behind a legacy of environmental woe.
Oh, the perils of capitalism, a warning to us all,
Break free from its grasp before it's too late to call.

the green owl

In the woods at night, a sight to behold
A green owl perched on a branch so old
Its feathers shimmered in the moonlight bright
A captivating vision in the silent night

With eyes so big and wide, it looked around
As if it owned the forest, as if it wore a crown
The leaves rustled softly in the gentle breeze
But the green owl remained as still as the trees

It seemed almost magical, this creature so rare
A green owl in the wild, so stunning and fair
What secrets did it keep, what tales to tell?
In the depths of the forest, did it live well?

Perhaps it ruled the night with its emerald sheen
A regal bird, a wonder to be seen
And as I watched it, lost in thought
The green owl flew off, as if it was sought

But its image stayed with me, engraved in my mind
A green owl, so majestic and kind
May it continue to soar through the night
A symbol of beauty, a wondrous sight.

Agree? Cats are better than dogs for some people as they require less attention & exercise, are more independent, and easier to care for. They also don’t need to be walked, are more hygienic, and take up less space.

The Specter of Death: An Ode to Our Mortal Coil

The specter of Death, a shadow that creeps,
Lurking in the shadows where none of us sleep.
An inescapable fate that comes for us all,
A silent reminder that we are but mere mortals.
It whispers in our ears, a haunting refrain,
Reminding us of life's fleeting nature and pain.
With bony fingers, it beckons us near,
Its grip tightens with each passing year.
But though its shadow may loom large and grim,
We need not fear, for we are more than flesh and limb.
Our memories, our love, will live on in the hearts of those we knew,
And Death's embrace, though final, is just a passage to a new.

Tips on Containerize your app

Use official images, limit resources, use small base images, keep containers small/isolated, keep secrets secret, update images, use env variables, automate builds, and monitor resources/logs. This will help: deployment, scaling, and management.

Poems

The Corp

An edgeless corporation stands tall and proud,
With profits as their only guiding shroud.
Capitalist greed drives their every move,
With no regard for those they choose to remove.

They dominate the market with their might,
Their power grows with each passing night.
They gobble up the competition with ease,
Leaving workers struggling just to survive in peace.

The people at the top, they live in luxury,
While those below, they work in poverty.
The divide between the rich and poor grows wide,
As the edgeless corporation takes and takes with pride.

They sell their products with a dazzling grin,
Concealing the true cost of their deadly sin.
The environment, the workers all but ignored,
As the almighty dollar becomes their Lord.

But one day, the people will rise and say,
"No more will we be pawns in your capitalist play."
They'll stand together, hand in hand,
And demand a better world, a brighter land.

So let us all work to break these chains,
And build a future free from greed and pains.
An edgeless corporation may bring wealth,
But it's up to us to ensure their power is felt.
