fiat_lux,

Why have you chosen to attack me so personally on this fine day? Give me some warning before you completely demolish me like that. Even just a countdown from 3 or something.

fiat_lux,

If you're really old, odds are you have experienced physical pains that have made "forgetting to turn off the light/appliance/device" a difficult experience rather than just inconvenient. I never liked the idea of IoT devices until chronic pain fucked up the whole mobility thing for me, now I realise it's a total necessity. Especially for societies with rapidly growing older demographics, increased rates of chronic illness, and inadequate social and medical systems.

fiat_lux,

I'm glad your relatives were able to make permanent modifications to their living spaces that sufficiently accommodated their accessibility needs! Many of us do not share those circumstances, and the number of people with a huge variety of different medical problems is steadily increasing. I, for one, am very happy to have some implementation options to choose from.

fiat_lux,

This is even worse when we factor that many accessibility issues are addressed through simple measures that many times must be accomplished when basic maintenance is done, like rewiring or fittings renewal.

I completely agree. I would love to have the option to use non-networked solutions. But for multiple reasons, tinkering with the electricity supply and residence is outside my control.

I can still control my networks and lightbulbs though. So here I am, somewhere I never anticipated, looking at networkable lightbulbs and foss repos. Like I said, I'm just happy to have an option.

fiat_lux,

Very interesting! It could definitely use some links for definitions of various ingredients (and maybe terms). Local names for different things vary wildly, and especially without pictures on most things, there's no way to know which variant they mean.

For example: "1 1/2 cup Regular Rice" - American cups, British cups or Australian cups? What variety of rice is "regular" for this recipe/author? One half cup or one plus a half cups? Sometimes you can figure this stuff out from the bloat in the recipe links, but because this is so concise, I have no way to figure it out.

Open Food Facts might be of help here.

fiat_lux,

This was a fun watch. I thought maybe that he might be a even just a little less combative when the next day started, but no, straight back into it.

I guess when he started off abusing the lawyer less than 10mins after he met him, that was how this was going to go. Hilarious that the court stenographer refused to come back for another day, I can't imagine their professionalism is easily tested!

He is a very scared person.

fiat_lux,

I wanted a strong drink after just sitting through the supercut, I can't imagine how exhausting it must be for the lawyers on both sides.

The defence lawyer is going to need a whole case of the good stuff after that fiasco.

fiat_lux,

Christ, just get it over with and make them all wear a uniform already, if how they dress is so damned important.

fiat_lux,

Yes, in more tolerant nations girls are just sent home for problems like exposed collarbones or wearing hair extensions.

I have heard many stories about people in the US about being sent home for their appearances. It does not sound like a very 'tolerant of clothing choices' place either, but for different reasons.

fiat_lux,

As a complete foreigner to both countries, it sort of just looks like you're lording your Quarter Pounder with Shit over their Royale with Shit, when it's the same Shit Sandwich.

fiat_lux,

Because people don't want to look at other people's unusual niche kinks and try to identify if it contains children or other non-consenting participants as a part of their employment. And then try to explain to the people about why the unusual niche is against the rules when they receive a complaint about its removal. Amongst so many other reasons.

Programs and apps on the internet are not simple things and user-generated content can be a very malicious and dangerous thing to have a copy of. The legal risk alone is not worth it, let alone the effort required to enable a slightly easier masturbatory experience for total strangers.

fiat_lux,

I thought it might be AI so I went looking for the source.

Original photographer's page with more and better pics

It's not AI, but it is an advertisement for a bridal package competition from a Chicago pizza maker. As far as ads go, I have to respect the execution of this one. Nicely done, marketing person.
