- Comment on One UI 8 gives us our first look at Samsung's upcoming tri-fold phone 1 day ago:
Don’t forget that you have to pay for an additional subscription to use SamsungShave with your new 5 fold and that your have to give the app access to all your private data - but who wouldn’t do that for a really close shave!
- Comment on Meta has found another way to keep you engaged: Chatbots that message you first 1 day ago:
'“This allows you to continue exploring topics of interest and engage in more meaningful conversations with the AIs across our apps,” a Meta spokesperson said. ’
‘meaningful conversations with the AIs’ makes me want to laugh, or cry. Welcome in a world where meaning has lost all meaning.

The Gillette-ization of phones? How exciting /s
- Comment on Why do Conservatives physically look evil? 1 week ago:
I won’t fight a war together with any moron who will fight others based on their looks, so I guess you’re on your own there … I’ll probably fight others based on their actions, so hit me up again once you’ve reached that stage of moral development.

Guess what, to the conservatives you look evil. Let’s just not play this game, it usually doesn’t end well.
- Comment on Walmart Scales Back Self-Checkout Amid Security and Customer Feedback 1 week ago:
A friend told me about her experience in a fully automated hostel with sleeping pods where the automatic doors may or may not malfunction when you try to open them with a magnetic wrist band. That’s horror film material imo. I hope this shit gets wrecked and forgotten together with the self checkout. I’d like to meet some real people please, all you profit hungry corporation go shove these robots up yours yesterday.

Oh wait I do have a solar cooker already, parked in front of my house. No need to waste time building one. Gotta remember next time it gets hot and sunny!

No, conciseness is the ability to describe things in few words. You probably meant to say consumption.

I snorted, slightly ashamed of myself

oh no you just reminded me
- Comment on 1000 years from now physics is forgotten and all that remains is the legend of two hobbits, Charm and Spin, and their quest for the Higgyboson. At this point, is physics true? 1 year ago:
This reminds me very much of Riddley Walker, have you read it?
Is physics true now? Is truth something with exactly defined borders?
- Comment on Comparison: Coop Cloud, Yunohost, similar platforms 1 year ago:
It’s great to be able to run a server with functioning stuff on it when one doesn’t know anything about servers. Anything else around self-hosting would have been too much of an intimidating learning curve for me, but in the meantime I’ve picked up a lot of knowledge and terminology just by running the YH. It’s like training wheels, it’s great if you know a bit of tech stuff, but not enough.
I think it will last me a while before I outgrow it, don’t have enough time to really sit down and study server administration to the point where I feel safe to not fuck it up. I’ll let you know 😅

Are they anti-container or just anti-Docker, I wonder?
- Comment on Karrot - Start a group, become a community 1 year ago:
Just before your post about Karrot I finally (re-)installed Agora on Yunohost as a collaboration suite. First few users onboarded and praying it works. It’s a bit ugly but does the job. Karrot looks to be more map-focused than Agora from a very fleeting look, I don’t think I’ve seen it in the Yunohost catalogue.

Is this a self-hostable platform? I just see a signup option.

- Comment on Is there a name for downplaying your suffering because other people have bigger problems? 1 year ago:
That would be the exact opposite from what OP describes, where a person goes “Oh woe me, all the weight of the world is on my shoulders and I get zero acknowledgment!”
I guess somewhere between the extremes is a healthy range of “My life sucks, and so does everybody else’s.”

Well I guess his monkey died, does that count?
- Comment on Does one's autism affect their religious beliefs? Why or why not? 1 year ago:
I’m autistic and animistic. I believe that there’s conscience in all, and that we should handle other beings like we handle other persons: with respect and some caution. I grew up catholic, tended towards buddhism for a while, was non-religious for the longest time, and then started taking to animals and plants and landscape - some might say I lost my mind, but it felt more like finding it. It’s a private practice of consciously having a stream of thought passing my mind as I meet other beings in my daily life, and trying to get to know them and notice them. A silent conversation with the non-human, I guess you could call it praying, only there’s no worship, as I’m also anarchist. I communicate with whoever is happy to meet me eye to eye.
I’d say the whole thing is more pragmatic than religious. There’s no church, no celebrations, I’m not part of a group, I’m just a private nutter talking to rocks because it suits me and works to maintain my wellbeing.

My back pain got better since I sleep with a pillow between my legs when rolled sideways. Something about a wonky hip thanks to neurofunkiness?

Another side effect of ads: you think you want Muesli for breakfast, not soup or fried egg.

Self reliance in the desert, by bringing in all you need for your totally natural camping experience.
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
There is a similar thing not far from where I live. Through an unlucky friend, then the neighbour of their festival grounds, I got to discover the organizers’ ‘ideals’ and ‘ethical and ecological approach’ first hand. In short: it was about money. And more money. And they managed to turn a large reservoir into a dying punch bowl of acid, piss and shit within only a decade. I suspect Burning Man to be the same, considering the ticket prices. The fact that some poor fools with their heart and soul intact save their little money to visit this monstrosity just makes it more sad.
I don’t actively engage in Schadenfreude much, but I do carry a little of it in my heart. If people think flying or driving very far away for Entertainment, and bringing thousands of people into an otherwise quiet place is okay for the wildlife there, and can be in any way an ecological thing, they have understood very little about ecology. And now also ignored by most: the destruction that happens by the thousands of ‘poor humans who just wanted to have fun’ trampling through the last remnants of life in a drought stricken place.
We are not alone on this planet. Invading a place with our idea of fun is very damaging. We can party perfectly well at home. If home happens to be bleak and sad maybe we should work on that first before invading quiet places.

Too restrained for a purse. In the pockets of my cargo pants: seeds, flowers and twigs. Bits of string. Plastic electric fence thingies.
