Just saw the take that waymo shouldn't be expected to have tested for an edge case like unpowered stop lights. That edge case that human drivers are required to know from page 34 of the california drivers handbook.

So let me get this straight. The current state of fediverse integration on Threads is that you can write posts that federate, people can read and reply to them, you can like their replies, but you can't reply back, repost, or even share the post from Threads. And that's how they're gonna leave it.

My kids watched "bee movie", an animated kid movie set in New York, which ends up in New York. Maybe this should have been a warning sign of problems to come…

I'm not sure why the US needs five years of social media use to decide if they let you in or not. What I post in one day should be enough.

Ok, I have to give it to the Octonauts, a robot with a Mantis shrimp mode is cool…

Today I bit the bullet and migrated the whole DHCP + DNS facility from my crappy Swisscom router to my Synlogy NAS. My network skills were a bit rusty, but it worked surprisingly well.

Open staircase, cats and the second law of thermodynamics mean the Legos end in the basement.

My thoughts on social media bans everywhere is that if you're taking digital connections away from teens, you better make sure they have third spaces for physical connection, and give them options for transport that is not "parents drive us around" otherwise all you're creating is isolation. And […]

Saying that “premature optimisation is the root of all evil" misses a basic point: people like doing it. I feel we should rather say “premature optimisation should be reserved for stacking the dish-washer”…
