I wish my government had hired developers to create useful Linux tools, they gave money to nextcloud instead of paying tribute to Microsoft.

But guess who pays the best bribes?

airbnb is great if you have like 10 or 20 travelling pals. You can rent a flat for everyone instead of a room for each one or pair of them

The objective of the human species is the annihilation of any kind of life on the planet in the seek of profit. pesticides and insecticides play a crucial role in this task, together with PFAS, co2 and EMR in the form of light pollution, for example

I notice it on TV as well.

When the camera pans. I find it unnerving. I don’t enjoy watching that pixelated panning. I blame it on the digital recordings.

It might probably look better if they recorded it on film but no producer seems to be addressing my whimsical preferences

You are an angel!

I would really love Google to let me ban certain domains like photo banks which feel attacked by Google searches.

I’m not paying Google any money though. And $10 a month is over my budget

so since 2007 and 2023, we must have scientific assessment on the benefits of using computers instead of books?

>I really can't say how I would have approached ensuring my kids had a head start with technical computer knowledge had I not the knowledge myself.

Yeah, I was wondering how to teach my kid some computer languages I never quite got the hang of

I wonder how many people are secretly boycotting the product because of the prison Reputation of the maker

He can visit relatives and friends whenever he feels like, no matter how far away they might be.

Breakfast in Berlin, Dinner in München.

His exit strategy is probably the same as mine, his bedroom at mom and pop’s hotel

This dilemma has been named “video deficit”, the reason why children are unable to find the puppet whose location has been shown to them in a video

Oh yeah. I get downvoted as hell when I admit that I wish my mom had gently smashed my screens with a hammer instead of hiding my cables, which came to show how powerless she was about the device which was harming my school involvement

Schools in my region are suddenly catching up the the top notch scientific publications warning people to stop parking babies in front of screens.

That’s giving me hope

Each crew member should have been assigned the management and activation of a given portion of the touchscreen.

Morning briefing by the Captain: “John, you’ll supervise and operate the bottom left corner of the Touchscreen. Adam, as a left handed sailor, you’ll stand right to John and operate the bottom right corner of the Touchscreen with your left hand so there are no collisions in case of emergency”

Aye, captain

People have already died because of the screens “The ship's user interface [touch screen] was found to have contributed to the sailors' confusion.”

Not only that, but there are even studies that question the usefulness of ~~investing~~ spending money in computer devices.

All that Aforementioned enthusiasm and illusion were implemented into the educational systems without first assessing its scientific foundation.

It’s like if surgeons started using plastic knives just because stainless steel looks dated, for example.

These grumpy outdated Cassandras, who question the validity of change for the sake of change must be ignored in their laments because computer devices are very expensive and have a short lifespan, making them perfect for draining public resources

yeah, for deep frying certain frozen food products, it might be better to reach temperatures above 170 °C, so the oil doesn't get too cold as you add the frozen food.

Olive oil is great for cooking as long as you keep it below its temperature, 170 degrees celsius. I use a fancy IR thermometer because I'm a nerd.

"during frying olive oil behavior is usually equal or superior to that of refined vegetable oils" https://ift.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1541-433...

"olive oil, independently of its category label, is clearly resistant to degradation under domestic frying conditions (170 °C). Among the olive oil categories, the extra-virgin PDO olive oil was more resistant under the conditions of this study" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S02786...

I wish I could compile those electron apps from source à la FreeBSD’s ports or whatever. I’d rather have the laptop compiling for a few days than using electron

Pre-2023 printed books will be the new incunabula classic books

I’m browsing with JavaScript disabled. Cookie banners and subscription banners have all disappeared. When I need JS, I open the website on Firefox

Reddit is barely usable, but HN works just fine. I wish more websites tuned for efficiency and simplicity instead of bloat and surveillance capitalism

Maybe due to its transparent

I’ve marked on the calendar the days in which there will be a solar eclipse in my region.

I’ve stumbled upon one in the Mozambique strait region back in Sept 2016.

That’s why an American president prevented corporations from becoming this almighty

In my town, the commune has built a children's cage at the other side of a not-so-busy road, where cars are thus invited to speed.

Thanks to the safety of their cage, cars can roam in freedom without having to worry about needlessly interferences.

I have been lately despising every kind of caged playground, where children might find fun in a sandbox.

Glass bottles have to be reprocessed later. Forever pollutants offer more benefits for the industry.

Short term benefit and profit margin dominate the calculation of if life environments deserve to continue unpolluted or they deserve to be destroyed in the name of compound interest.

>We use Zoom as our sole vendor for audio, video, and data transmission for call data streams including screen share and text chat.

Wasn’t Zoom a privacy sheetshow?

Cruising across town sporting a Geiger counter on the dashboard, now that’s a real crossover between cool and nerd.

It’s a pity that a genius like him didn’t make it to the MIT and ended up arrested
