- Comment on Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages 3 days ago:
Yeah, humans regularly deliver stuff wrong on our street. There is no way robots will manage. I get packages for both by neighbours and they get mine more often than correct deliveries and one of my neighbours is a business.
- Comment on FBI Wants Access To Encrypted iPhone And Android Data—So Does Europe 1 week ago:
A great example of this is TSA luggage locks. Mandated backdoor, master keys leaked by company that makes them, now anyone can open any TSA approved lock.
- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 3 weeks ago:
I meant running windows on them, its enormous and its all linux servers. I know you can run windows but it’ll be a tiny fraction.
- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 3 weeks ago:
This is my thought, they’ve all but lost the battle for cloud servers and they’d rather the developers computers were Windows. WSL allows that.
- Comment on Vets tell BBC they are under 'consistent pressure' to make money 1 month ago:
We also maxed out the limit twice. 10k for us. Went 2k over the first time. Second time is this year so hoping he doesn’t need anything expensive before June. He’s has 2 total hip replacements at £8500 each.
- Comment on Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy 3 months ago:
The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It’s got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It’s a very nice park. Always busy.
The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.
- Comment on UK: Rooftop solar could reduce energy bill for the country's poorest families by almost a quarter, study says 3 months ago:
It’s not really an option for renters, tenants aren’t going to pay for solar panels on someone else’s house and landlords wouldn’t get any benefit.
I’d rather see public investment in grid installations that can benefit everyone, not just the poorest who were rich enough to buy a house, along with reforming the energy market so pay what the energy actually cost and not as if it was all gas.
- Comment on Privately Share Photo Albums? 3 months ago:
Another one for immich but I’m also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn’t public.

Haha I know what you mean. It’s in St Helens unless there’s more than one
