Thanks to for producing this comprehensive debunking of the " future".
It's ridiculous how many companies are peddling this stupidity (e.g. for home boilers because "we already have gas pipes") and governments are buying into it.

@Odaeus This is pretty generic anti-hydrogen and pro-battery propaganda. It's basically just market from people who have specific goals and use environmentalism as a way to make money. In reality, fuel cells are electrochemical systems just like batteries. They are fundamentally necessary to solving climate change. Naysayers are practically climate change deniers by refuse to acknowledge this.

Spotted a running process called "Logi AI Prompt Builder" and have now discovered that my mouse driver auto updated to add a bullshit #AI feature. 😑

@Odaeus best to not use a mouse driver as macOS doesn’t really need one. And if you need better controls, get SteerMouse.

@tenderlove hi Aaron, thanks for your work on the recent security announcements.

It turns out that I thought was unusually secure in 2023 but instead the RoR security mailing list has been silently(?) discontinued. (https://groups.google.com/g/rubyonrails-security)

I'm hopefully not the only geriatric millennial Rails dev still subscribed to that list. Perhaps you could send out a final message to say that the forum is the new official source?

@Odaeus yes that's a good idea, I'll send an email today

β€œPratchett’s lines stay with you,” says journalist and fan Helen Lewis. β€œI first read him as a teenager and, a quarter of a century on, he is still in my brain all the time. Not just his jokes and wordplay, but the way he saw the world – humane, not dogmatic, amused and amusing.”

I too have a mini Terry Pratchett in my head along for the ride.

@Odaeus you’re not. Or both of us are. Because it happened to me too.

@Odaeus@vivaldi.net avatar

My "this should be built in" quality of life improvements include unlocking display rotation when the photos app is open and avoiding "your battery is low" prompts by preempting them.

Any other suggestions?

@Odaeus so smart!

@janl thanks! Maybe I should apply for a job at Apple to fix these things πŸ€ͺ

@mrchrisadams was just thinking of you, I'm at the Ruby Unconference in Hamburg and the last speaker was taking about sustainability by quoting DHH moving from AWS to their own metal as a good thing. 😳

Slightly stunned at the hatred of self-service checkouts by in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAGerman/comments/141had9/why_is_germany_so_reluctant_to_adopt_selfservice

The dominant position is "why should I do labour for the supermarket".

They arrived at my local supermarket a few weeks ago and now I don't worry about timing it right to avoid the queues.

As usual, it's mostly a dislike of change and in 20 years we'll catch up.

bitboxer,

@Odaeus the funny thing is that Wallmart, when they tried to go into the German market, got huge rejections from people about packing their items for them US style.
