  Sadly that’s not a woodstove, that would be too good.

  That’s probably an Aga style stove. Those are mostly made with cast-iron and use radiant heat to cook. Each oven ‘compartent’ has a diffrent function (eg. top left is warming, bottom left is for roasting and a big one for baking). They work kinda like a masonry heater. And are meant to be always on.

  I’d argue that 8.1 was an apology for 8 that never got accepted, 10 an enshitified version of what 8 could have been if Microsoft shareholders didn’t decide they wanted a slice of that sweet sweet mobile market.

  Anyway, anything past 7 has/had unacceptable privacy violations. And that alone makes them shitte, even regardless of everything else.

  I mean this with the biggest offence possible: AI judges make no sense, atleast with the current way of doing AI (LLMs). It’s been known for years that they amplify any bias in their training data. You are black? Higher chance of going to prison and longer serving time. Getting divorced and are male? Your ass is NOT getting custody. Hell, even without that the LLM might just hallucinate some crime not in the data for a case and give you a life time prison sentence. And if you somehow manage to avoid all that, what’s stopping somebody from just shadowprompting it and getting the judgement they want? It would also be an easy target for corruption, the goverment wants their poltical rivals gone? Tweak the model so it’s just that bit harsher, or just a bit more alligned with some other interpretatnion of the law.

  Who would even choose the training data? The judges? Why would they, it would be better for them to sabotage and keep their jobs. Some goverment agency then? Don’t want to do that, or you’re gonna find out separation of power has a reason.

  Bad idea.

  You really want to give any power over yourself and others to the bias amplification machine?

  I caught myself writing a long response to this, but I got something that I belive will be better: Ok, USAmerican.

  Some of them also sound pointless, e.g the emoji keyboards. I know for a fact windows, macos and chromeos have inbuild emoji selectors. On linux KDE also has an selector, idk about gnome but even if it doesn’t have one there’s probably a shell exstention for that, there’s also an app called grin (or maybe smile? can’t be bothered to google rn). I literally can’t see a reason to use an web extension over those.

  Next week I’m going to Czechia and later Slovakia. I want to get some local aftershaves while I’m there, do you all have any recommendations?
