I think she wants today's dinner to be served in this instead 👀

(the odd exception is when you get something genuinely nice for a still rather low price, and of course it happened plenty of times that it outright didn't work or broke soon with little warning but most stuff works, if it's a bit(....) wonky)

Having spent thousands of Ali Express by now, I belive this tracks:

“Repeat after me: »I'm buying a bigger bench post-haste, so as not to cause any more emotional distress to my furchildren… and I am terribly sorry for my glaring lack of foresight for which my penance is to shower said sad, sad furbabies in treats for the rest of the afternoon..!«” :iris_dog:

POV: you got only a small bench on the terrace and your youngest pooch is annoyed at her big sis taking up ALL the space so she can't also snuggle up to y'all :sadness:

hello 🐑

@aud I wish I could remember who it was on here who said that you can get by making a bad product, but if you do, you really need to not alienate all the people who are inclined to buy it even though it's a bad product

Contributing to OpenStreetMap is so much fun. You just get to go out, walk around, and write down what you see.

"This is a tree. This is a garbage can. This is a foot path."

It feels oddly meditative?

“…But a ramp works. It doesn’t run out of battery. It doesn’t require a software update. And crucially, it works for the parent with a stroller, the delivery guy with a hand truck, and the old man with bad knees. It is a universal solution.”

A different kind of data center update 🐑
Meet our most relaxed colleagues at the moment. This summer, a few woolly guests are helping us maintain the green spaces around our data center in Falkenstein.
A quiet and natural way to care for the landscape around our site.

While a (small) subset of humanity is happily vibe-coding the rest of us is left with little else but *vibe-coping* 🫠

It's starting to look like inside the Nebuchadnezzar over here :blobCat_nom_wire:

This is astonishing!

Here's a map of all the overnight (sleeper) trains you can now take in Europe. So many in eastern and central Europe. (Few, however, out of #France and none in #Spain, #Portugal.)

Before 2020, routes were disappearing. Thanks to...

How it goes when in public with :lumi_dog: :iris_dog:

A:
👧: "Can I pet the doggies?”
Me: Sure
👧 *approaches hastily, reaches out abrubptly, Lumi ducks & runs, this upsets Iris who starts to bark. Kid usually starts chasing Lumi that doesn't help.*

B:
👧: "Can I pet the doggies?”
Me: Sure.
👧 *approaches carefully, reaches out slowly… gets her head barked off anyway, because Lumi is a princess and doesn't let just *any* undeserving hobo touch her. The barking triggers Iris who starts barking also.*

There is no other option 🫠

Actual photo of how the AI vendors sandboxed their “agents” that “went rogue”

The cool thing is that the router is fully open source and there is a hardware schematic so if I'll grow up to be a smart electronics person I'll have a chance to fix it https://static.turris.com/docs/omnia/CZ11NIC20-schematics.pdf

The left side of my Framework laptop is now refusing to charge (after connecting the USB-C connector the led blinks in and...that's it). This is the motherboard that they already replaced once with inexplicable power/charging issues.

Framework will tell you they are "modular" and "repairable" but the USB-C dongle is just a basic passive plug-to-plug extension, and you can't just replace the USB-C PD/power subsystem, you have to replace the whole motherboard...

An accurate depiction of me, "dude who accidentally fried their router by plugging it into the 24VDC direct battery supply and not the regulated 12VDC supply". Captures both my shame and utter exhaustion with the world. 🫠
