I wouldn’t be quite so pessimistic! Many places, especially in Europe, have been making massive breakthroughs in consumer rights to repair and data privacy laws. If we keep big companies in check and pressure the government for further progress in those sectors, it might be possible for us to just kill rich people and take their robots without the robots tattling 💕

Man a cleaning robot would be kinda neat, but realistically it would have too much potential to make a huge fucking mess. Like, a roomba that drives over dog poop can only mess up in a single dimension but a full-ass robot?! Just imagine the mess it would make literally every time it takes out the trash. Or if it mistakes a flower pot full of dirt for a dish that needs to go in the dishwasher.

Yeah, even I’ll pass on that one.

It’s basically the last week at my job 🥳 It’s not even a full week too, since I’m calling in sick tomorrow, taking a vacation day on Wednesday and leaving early on Thursday to go to a BBQ that my future employer is throwing haha

I’m really looking forward to a very chill week!

Behold, one of the best purchases I have ever made:

It weighs like 3kg so you can even pull off some tape with just one hand

yes, basic Grapheneos feature.

Java is weird and I don’t like it. It’s the go-to language to learn as a first programming language in school and university, but the kind of Java that is actually used in corporate jobs, with all the weird frameworks and libraries, is so far removed from school Java that it feels like a whole different thing. Maven is weird and confusing and I don’t get it (but I’m perfectly fine with Php’s Composer and JS npm/yarn). And I have yet to come across any sort of real life problem where OOP is a better solution than Functional Programming.

yum!

I actually keep coming back to Sony earbuds, because they seem to be the only brand that still makes the earbuds controlled by buttons instead of capacitive touch. Had the Sony WF-C500 for a couple years and they still work perfectly fine, but I recently bought a pair of WF-C510 because I wanted multi-connection Bluetooth (so that I can use my PC, tablet and phone audio without fiddling around and re-pairing all the time). They were like 35 bucks.

That looks just like the gremlin dog that Girl with the Dogs has!

Thank you for the gold, kind stranger

Is it though? Kinda looks toad-shaped to me. Anyways, what even is the taxonomic difference between a frog and a toad?

Okay but like, being a honeypot girl must be really hard because you kinda have to care about a topic to retain information about it. My husband started working with military ships or something like that and whenever he tells me ship facts (that are publicly available, he always cross-references Wikipedia) my eyes just fucking glaze over and I zone out because I have no interest in anything ship-related.

So Lockheed Martin girl must have a special interest in airplanes. It must be so hard to fight the autistic urge to correct a guy who gets his airplane facts wrong.

People only like matcha because it looks nice. You cannot convince me that anyone likes the flavour of that stuff

I’ve been doing this stupid math daily game about making a number out of four fours. The page for it is clearly jank and vibecoded but it’s an interesting concept so I’ve been looking past it.

Well, yesterday’s number (147) was literally impossible. I tried for hours, then started reading math papers about the problem and all solutions I could find had the repeating/overline operator. Which doesn’t exist as an input option on the stupid puzzle site.

My parents are coming over today because their ZorinOS installation suddenly started acting up after an Ubuntu Kernel update. Thanks Ubuntu.
