I had a conversation with the head of my kid's school about AI
I pointed out that _when an AI is good at a task_ that is usually a _condemnation of the task_ ("why show me a 350-word essay when you could just show me the 40-word prompt instead?")

I may be the last person to figure this out, but in case I'm not:
My Mastodon browser tab started making an irregular, infrequent beeping sound a few weeks ago, despite my having turned off notification sounds literally years ago.

There's a switch to disable it in the settings on the notifications tab.
You're welcome.

Can someone assist with #openbsd install real quick? I've download the latest iso, go through the basic install process (no encryption) but when I reboot after it's completed my laptop tried to boot via PXE.
