For those who might not know, HarmonyOS is Huawei's new non-Linux OS. Think iOS, China edition. The UX is really great so far, and it's miles and miles ahead in "smoothness" compared to what any Android phone today feels like (and I'm on a low-end device, the Nova 15, which sells for ~$400 US in the mainland right now). I might even say it feels a little more fluent than an iPhone!
Any "can Linux distro X legally include insert-software-written-with-llm-assistance-here" discussions can be immediately short-circuited to "Linux itself is software written with LLM assistance"
@ivory was not able to vote in this poll in Ivory. I got an error about not finding post. I think it is because the original was edited so was trying to vote in the wrong post (that didn’t exist?). worked fine with Phanpy.

Which country are you tooting from? (And city if you feel like it.)
And what is your favorite breakfast?
Please boost for a wider audience.
Captain,
Dr. Crusher has ordered me to inform you that I am too sick to work today. I have now completed the task she has assigned me. I will be at my post as usual.

“Results from a Goldman Sachs GS survey found that households earning more than $300,000, who are in roughly the top 5% of earners, reported higher rates of living paycheck to paycheck than many who earned less.”
Uhhh… what?!

I have a 30min goal of exercise per day. I just walk on treadmill or in a loop at apartment while listening to a podcast.
Today, I somehow registered 4min of exercise already on the #AppleWatch doing very little. So only 26min is needed…
“For months, callers to the Washington state Department of Licensing who have requested automated service in Spanish have instead heard an AI voice speaking English in a strong Spanish accent. The agency has since apologized and says it’s trying to fix the problem.”

Ah the sad little guy missing #Hawaii !! 
I have a lot of friends who say they have no friends. To my face.
First they came for #Anthropic
And I did not speak out
Because I can't write toots without #Claude
Today was Reddit AMA day with our Chief Science Officer and Co-founder Brandon Sorbom — lots of good questions and interesting answers. Tritium, supply chain, AI, magnets, plasmas, antennas... and of course tokamaks. https://www.reddit.com/r/fusion/comments/1ra1oxm/hi_rfusion_im_brandon_sorbom_chief_science/ #FusionEnergy

You learn so much about a system from it! For example, TIL you can deploy a systemd-sysupdate repo quite easily and then pull from that repo from a second workstation. Now when you make a change to any part of say GNOME OS, you can build it on system one, and just `updatectl update` on the second system and it will fetch it P2P. I know I can set up stuff like an APT mirror or use a custom A/B update system with Buildroot, but this is so much easier and foolproof!
I bet they don’t run out of onions in the hotdog bar. #Costco
