The bit about the whales having “culture” that’s potentially >30 million years old, compared to the fact that humans have only been around for ~150k years blew my mind.
The foresight the team has had to try not to fuck up this culture with a load of garbled AI nonsense is pretty amazing too.
This is an awesome lecture by a guy who works in a team that’s been training AI models to decode languages and translate languages without any external dictionary. Pretty interesting in itself but it gets crazy when they apply it to animal communication and realize the same principles apply. Defo worth a watch.

It’s pretty normal for the company you work for to have your name, address and DOB.
I’m all for protecting your privacy and online anonymity to the max but when it’s literally the company you work for that need the most basic information, which they do need for a variety of reasons to keep you employed, that’s a little too far IMO.
For pure sync between machines, syncthing is amazing and pretty simple.
Nextcloud/Owncloud/Seafile/etc are much more involved, expansive pieces of software with many integrations and possibilities available, which is great if that’s something you want to be the sysadmin for but way overkill for just syncing files between a few of your own machines or between a small group of people. They’re more like a replacement for the google drive/docs suite and better suited for things like offices or if you want to get your whole (extended) family off google drive/dropbox because you can create multiple users and have different levels of admin privileges, shared calendars, document editors, etc.
Fwiw I used to run a fairly modest nextcloud instance but eventually retired it because it was overkill for my needs, required too much upkeep and I was always stressed that if I messed something up, the files in encrypted database would be inaccessible to me.
Now I have a simple little master syncthing server that my machines all sync to and copies of the files are always available on all machines.

There are tools like sshfs that let you mount remote directories as if they're local. Most of the time I tend to use nnn with some of the little extra bits you can find in the docs like cd to last directory on quit and multi-colored tabs etc.
It is yet another Chromium based browser but for when Chromium is needed for compatibility reasons, it’s got some pretty cool features like split panes and mobile sites as a sidebar etc.
Firefox always number 1 though.
No they ditched OSX and yearly point updates in 2020 and went from Mac OSX 10.15.7 to MacOS 11.0
The next yearly release was MacOS 12.
It's now up to 14.2.1
