No

That’s funny.

Just beware the bias here. Only pointing this out for people working against their agenda doesn’t mean there isn’t the same going on for the other side…just that they aren’t going to point it out as it doesn’t help their agenda.

My grayjay hasn’t worked for a couple of weeks now, “block attempt detected” warning and then the video starts over.

Asking mastodon users whether they’d choose AI over Privacy is like asking Elon Musk if he’d rather end poverty or buy another mega yacht.

You’re right, but “incompetence” seems harsh. Maybe I’m just sensitive today.

// because I said so.

And land mines are only banned because, checks notes, their indiscriminate nature (being walked on by children)

That’s ludicrous. “An average person” cares about more than “nothing” - such statements saying otherwise are just what the 0.1% want.

Stop fighting each other and start fighting the people who have created and persisted this dumpster fire.

What’s a normie in this context?

Clearly New Zealand. Go check your map, I bet it’s missing as usual!

Yeah…and entirely unsurprising.

Personally I can’t see it, what have they taken away from me?

I own way more now than I did 20yrs ago when the web was still a bright young thing.

Aren’t they as equally unrecycleable as plastic?

I can’t even put them in my recycling bin…which is where the glass and plastic goes.

More reported prisoners.

Entropy man. It’s a bitch.

Never before have I heard this word, twain, and yet here we are…I’ve now read it twice in the same thread!

I have a tea addiction which ensures that at least once an hour I stand up and leave the keyboard for 10 mins. Pee, collect tea, back to work.

Sometimes however, when I’m stuck on a bug I have no idea how to solve I can sometimes lose track of time and maybe don’t take a break when I should…but never for longer than 2hrs.

If I’ve been working on a problem for 8hrs I go to sleep. Invariably I solve it quite quickly the following day.

Obviously the thing to learn here is: stop working on it before 8hrs hits…but I’m a simple man who apparently can’t see this at the time.

Currently batteries are replaceable, but due to their design it’s unlikely to be worth the expense. Forcing them to make it user replaceable ensures it’s easy to do, and cheap - so even if you don’t want to do it as a recharge mechanism, it is still to your advantage to have it so when your battery does inevitably deteriorate you can swap it out at your convenience.

That is overly polite in my opinion. I’m happy to fire up the lawn mower after 9am.
