MPs should not be landlords.
MPs should not have outside employments.
MPs should not be allowed to receive gifts of any kind (which are bribes pure and simple).
They already get nearly 100K salary and many claim 200K expenses on top of that.
The whole system is corrupt.
Anyone wanna hire me to touch computers for your bioengineering project? :P I specialize in managing information flow and databases, particularly in decentralized / distributed setups. e.g. agregating data from different groups without needing one central database.

I had to go out to buy a specific version of the iPad in order for my kids to be able to do their homework.
Educational policies aside, it was a sad reminder of what we are losing when we let the web be displaced by propietary apps.

tech venting
Betterbird has been randomly crashing on top of no longer consistently logging into my outlook email. I fucking hate the state of email and especially wish I hadn't tied so much with microsoft when I was younger.
My poor mastodon server reached a full disk since it seems my automated cleanup script wasn't running. Luckily I had a file allocatex to give me extra space for recovery and I let it run overnight. :P 75 GB of random attachmentd I probably have never seen. I think stuff like that should be loaded on demand tbh

Be the change you want to see in the world. Start by changing your editor settings from spaces to tabs.

I just realized what I hate about modern chat: it's not a small window on the screen anymore, it's *the whole screen*.
Discord (et al) is barely usable in a small window, whereas AOL Instant Messenger was *very* usable in a small window as you went about your browsing.
For me, smaller window = fewer distractions.
They also frame it as the plot of The Matrix which is hilarious to me.
God I love The Matrix 😭💜
S15E08 of south park is so good. (spoilers) there's a bit where Stan gets "diagnosed" as aspergers and they show how to world sees them but then they show what it's actually like to be one. As an autistic person it hits home.
Imagine if physical goods sellers made EULAs like software companies. "Oh you bought a can of pepsi? Yeah we can steal your organs now and you've revoked your personhood"
For real if TVs could apply ai powered video filters to whatever is being displayed I'd jump on that shit instantly. I want to watch garfield with the filter that gives everyone a chiseled jawline
7. A head mounted display with an Android TV box you can wear as a neckband. It can do everything my rokid max can and more. I could install termux to do dev on it or RDP into other boxes.

When the company calls their home appliances "smart", what I hear is:
- they spent money on features I don't care about
- those features will be worse than standalone devices but will drive them out of market (looking at you TVs)
- the appliance is more likely to break
- my data is likely being sold to advertisers
- when the company loses interest in it and cut support, I will need to buy a new device
So no, I don't want "smart" home appliances.
Love it when the issue only needs two lines of code to fix :P

Absolutely amazing piece by Koka Nikoladze.
alcohol
Tiktok seems to be trying to psyop me into drinking alcohol again 🤪 Luckily my PDA kicks in and makes me double down on sobriety. Don't tell me what to do, App!
