  Well she was defrosting it the day before for dinner but forgot it was there and made something else instead (not sure how she forgot but still.), then we were in a rush at like 4 in the morning the day of the flight, so we barely checked anything other than the switches on the power points and our luggage basically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's about that time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of when my mother left 1kg of ground beef in the microwave my accident before our flight to Sydney, I will never forget that smell after we got back, that damn smell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At the campus I’m currently at, it’s funded pretty well, we have good quality buildings, we have doctors that come in every couple days and have “chillout tuesday” where we have activities and free food in the seminar room. The other two campuses are definitely falling behind in those regards.

  Either they may not be getting enough from the government and are supplementing it, or they are getting ripped off by Lenovo, although it seems to be due funding the school, since there are also the out for uniform days, where you have to pay $10 unless you don’t want to participate for the rest of the year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This would make one hell of an impact at my school in Australia, our school sells shitty cheap laptops for $1200 AUD (around €723), but the licenses for software are provided by the government and the laptops tend to cost less than half the school sells them for, so the framework laptop 12 would definitely be preferable, including with the add-ons you mentioned.

  A little sidenote, I have no clue how it’s legal for the school to price gouge us like that for literally the cheapest ThinkPads or other laptops possible.

  Can you rewrite this but longer? It’d be a great addition to the unending list of copypastas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google To Allow Double Serving Ads.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seeming that I’m getting increasingly pissed off by Spotify giving 5 or more ads without 30 minute adless times and for every 5th song rather than every 8th or 10th, I’m gonna have even more stress from the doubling of all google ads.

  At least ublock origin lite does its job pretty well on YouTube, so I won’t need to worry until google eventually kills that too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Parents turn to smartwatches for their children amid global phone screen-time pushback⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am a living breathing example of a kid who got a phone at 17, I had a bit of a honeymoon period with it, had lots of fun and distraction, but eventually got used to it and actually use it for organising my schoolwork to do list, check the weather and my daily schedule.

  I do tend to use social media on it, but only on the bus, since that’s usually when I don’t have anything else to do. I self limit my screen time pretty well, usually only 30 mins to an hour total per day, and I’ve always had all my devices without parental control systems, since my parents never knew how to set them up.

  Also, you saying it’s never about algorithms designed to siphon your attention is inherently incorrect of a statement. They literally have hundreds of data metrics to effectively lock you into staring at the screen mindlessly, although parenting also has a part to play, since you also should teach your child on how to control their attention and harness it to actually do something fulfilling, though many parents don’t know how to.

  My favourite way to liken LLMs to something else is to autocorrect, it just guesses, and it gets stuff wrong, and it is constantly being retrained to recognise your preferences, such as it starting to not correct fuck to duck for instance.

  And it’s funny and sad how some people think these LLMs are their friends, like no, it’s a collosally sized autocorrect system that you cannot comprehend, it has no consciousness, it lacks any thought, it just predicts from a prompt.

  I would wager that turning it into a clock that uses text to speech to tell the time when you tap the touchpad and the laser projector to see it visually, would be the only solution where it doesn’t overheat instantly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got pretty small hands but I am really comfortable with my 6.4 inch Oppo Reno Z, it has all the reachability I need, it isn’t too heavy or too light and it’s got a large enough display for me.

  I used to use a galaxy S4, which has a 5 inch display. I find the galaxy quite cramped and not very usable, but the AMOLED was just as good as the Reno Z, and even had better PPI.

  Something that would be pretty frustrating would be if phones get any larger, because I find that the sizes currently are pretty much perfect for everyone, although there should be more options when it comes to smaller phones.

  If I had a nickel for every time I reported a pervy corporation to the ACCC, I’d have two nickels– which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia will impose a ‘digital duty of care’ on tech companies to reduce online harm. It’s a good idea – if it can be enforced⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that whenever I open myGov on my iPad, and immediately see “connect your digital ID” makes me never want to do that. They also want me to use this ID, which is linked to my Medicare, citizenship, voting, etc., which instantly rings alarm bells in my mind, the government and corpos knowing that I am exactly who I am, and that I am likely not able to disconnect it from myGov nor the social media platforms it could regulate.
