@tuxicoman @jvalleroy I once had the displeasure of having to work with a scripting language that included the keyword "unless", which was the inverse of "if". Gave me such a headache I spent an afternoon rewriting all instances of unless to if.

@dnsprincess it also makes me feel inferior, given the tangle made of 5 cables I know exists under my desk.

@tilvids @thelinuxEXP I have homeassistant running as well and only allow devices that can be integrated without going through a cloud service. The only exception is my EV, which I really want to integrate with HA but which also really doesn't have a local API.

@EU_Commission It would be awesome if this initiative could include an obligation for manufacturers to provide electronic schematics of their products. These are extremely useful for repair purposes but are rarely available these days. Manufacturers claim schematics are trade secrets, but this is nonsense. If you have the physical product you can recreate the schematic. It’s just a lot of work. Their unavailability is partly why devices get thrown out instead of repaired

@OpenComputeDesign @vwbusguy The “scan your face to login” part came true at least, although that didn’t turn out to require a 10GHz cpu after all.

@mjg59 For some reason Device Tree is just magic to me. I can take an existing dts and, with sufficient googling and stack overflowing, make the changes I need to make. But I have no idea how it works or how to write one from scratch.

@leo So are all these books in the public domain and/or have expired copyright, or did the authors give you permission to republish their work? The tech is cool and all, but that remains a key concern, in my view.

@mjg59 Old enough to have come across an Easter-egg in one of the space quest games that explained they had to cut a whole section of story line because it would have caused the game to grow in size enough to require yet another 1.44 MB disc.

@mjg59 ChatGPT wrote this when I gave it your dream as a prompt (same as always: reads easily, but upon close examination doesn’t make a lot of sense): https://pastebin.com/JMHK67ke

Yay, I can add another 💉 to my bio! For quite some time it wasn’t easily possible in the Netherlands to get a COVID booster shot unless you belonged to one of the designated high-risk demographics (over-60’s, certain medical conditions, healthcare workers etc). Apparently they quietly changed this, since anybody can make an appointment online once again. Same process as before, but on a much smaller scale. Brought back memories of the emotions of early 2021 when I could finally get my first jab.

@georgetakei Ah, yes, the original example of “once you see it, you can’t NOT see it anymore”

@Gerard @stux Ik zie nu pas dat Rottumerplaat nog iets noordelijker ligt, en dat hoort als ik me niet vergis bij Groningen, dus dan klopt “er gaat niets boven Groningen” toch weer 😀

@stux The covid pandemic was/is particularly revealing in that sense. A pretty good friend of ours who we have known for close to 20 years completely turned "wappie" when the vaccines became available. No clue where it came from, but all of a sudden she was into conspiracies and how the numbers were being manipulated etc. We haven't really talked to her ever since.
