@michaelmclean.meWe are on the cusp of the personalized agents being able to handle nearly all of this menial day to day overhead. Its already possible but not user friendly yet for the mass consumer.
@michaelmclean.meBluesky will hate this one simple trick (having an LLM agent do all the planning, with you in the loop) We have a GitHub repo with all the recipes we like as markdown files, + a rules file that gives the agent boundaries. It preps the plan each week, asks for input, then generates shopping list

@chiwho.bikeReposted by @michaelmclean.meThere's been a few new bike lanes coming in recently, and the one on Bryn Mawr, just West of Kedzie, looks almost finished! This stretch goes along lots of amazing restaurants, a university, and is right by a local high school - providing tons of access and amenities.

@michaelmclean.meIIRC there is an urbanist Google Maps dev in Chicago who fixes this stuff FAST. I can't remember his name but he helped with some traffic routing issues from DLSD onto LFT. @slucy.bsky.social might know him?
@michaelmclean.meLooks like it!

@michaelmclean.meWhat if "Enshitifaction" has been solved? Have the skeptics considered this?
@michaelmclean.meOh my god, ITS HERE. Someone reverse engineered the LG ThinQ service and made a fully-local server. Finally you can control your LG appliances without a cloud login!
