Goodbye

Gave me flashbacks about receiving emails from them about connecting to friends of mine on their platform long before I ever interacted with any of said platforms in any way.

With a properly packaged python app, you shouldn’t even notice you’re running a python app. But yeah, for some reason there’s a lot of them that … aren’t.

Fun cat, sure, but tf is that Gucci/star-of-David flooring.

Find out, try it.

Delivery trucks, full stop, around here. Though some stop on the street instead, which I prefer, but car drivers usually don’t.

In the end, I find it hard to be angry at overworked, underpaid people, who have to work around infrastructure that clearly hasn’t been planned with their job in mind.

At least UPS is switching to large bike-like vehicles around here. Hope that trend continues.

I cancelled Spotify when they started pushing podcasts in my music app, with no way to turn it off.

Why pay for a service that actively pushes you towards stuff you don’t want? Especially if there’s alternatives that cost the same and … don’t do that.

Hundertwasser wasn’t an architect, but an artist, and that was kinda his style. Not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea, but it also wasn’t trying to be.

I mean, I get it. I built the lineage OS Updates for my last phone myself when community support ended, and only replaced it last week after the screen broke. If it hadn’t, I probably would have replaced the battery, has kinda gone a bit bad after five years.

Still ordered a cheap tft screen that fits it (original amoled is too expensive to make sense) to be able to use it as a backup.

I bought new this time, but mainly because I needed a new phone quick. Also wanted one of the new Pixels with 7 year software support to put Graphene on, so I found an 8a for like 400€.

So yeah, fuck the throw-away attitude towards perfectly serviceable electronics.

Huh. Only ever used their printers and their ceramic knives.

Old Android is surprisingly … nostalgic.

What Android Version is that? I haven’t seen a notification look like that in forever.

I want your name in my eyes.

Could be a song lyric, I guess.

Never liked that argument. It’s essentially “Why, don’t you like immigration, dummy? Don’t you know immigrants are easily exploited to do hard labour cheaply?”

I’m not saying it isn’t true, especially in the west, but in my eyes, there are much more moral arguments for immigration.

Seconded. Have been running it on both my main desktop and laptop for five years with no issues.

Morrisey became a real shithead later on, or maybe he just always was one, but I wouldn’t neccesarily interpret that one as pro the national front.

I mean, he’s probably gonna say “Yeah, sure, whatever” to most things the crazy people around him propose.

In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.

I’ve always used anti-abortion. Pro-life just isn’t an accurate descriptor, and a “pro-life protest”, or a “pro-life bill” seem like undeserved euphemisms considering what they want. Outlawing executions would be a pro-life bill.

Anti-choice is good too.

Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as as a dev, sometimes in rather ‘fancy’ office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.

I think so, yeah.
