A friend is aghast at how I can react the way I do. My response is “do you think these ‘just opinions’ exist in a void?”

How are you feeling, Sosocrates?

Been donating for a few months now, hoping they won’t cave to chat control pressure.

Would that even do much? Apart from frying your hand.

We’re getting jackets as a christmas present from my employer and they had us fill out a size form. “Sizes are as usual.”

Made me think of this.

Did you take the photo while driving? On a highway, at night?

Don’t do that, please.

“We can fix you ❤️”

So it was of the silent and deadly variation?

Upgraded three systems to Debian 13 in the last few days. Went without a hitch. One Proxmox, one media server and player, one workstation.

Wayland still doesn’t work, but that’s apparently because of the noVideo drivers.

Just like irl spaces for kids and teens have died out, too.

No money? No exist.

The concept of numbers doesn’t come up. The way the hands are conveys the fraction of the hour or half day that has passed. There’s never a need to know the exact number, time is continuous and not discrete. The minute hand will move fractional minutes, too.

It takes ages to boot, might have integrated offline ads, draws power when on standby for features you don’t want like remote controllability via network, and it’ll probably nag you forever to let it online. No thanks, a display will always just be that in this household. Separate concerns please, also easier to upgrade or replace.

Also universally useless. Image recognition solved Captcha ages ago and the new version from Google is literal spyware.

Chuppl has a great video essay on it. https://youtu.be/VTsBP21-XpI

Austrian Kangaroos are also fun.

Shut up.

And have some more pud.

The bullshitters were quick to adopt the bullshit factory.

Mom: Dad! Come help with the kid!

Dad: I can’t, I have to do data entry!

I’m afraid that fight is lost 😞

What? No. They were moral opposites, but the character was the same giddy schemer.
