This is a shitty April 1st joke.

Why is half the video some shitty machine generated song?

Here’s an article. It’s in Swedish.

Hope so. They’ve been trying to undermine the Swedish job market here, and even fucking stalked their employees. Horrible company.

Absolutely. However, relational or financial status shouldn’t enter into the equation if someone says the attention is unwanted.

I had a friend whose parents would literally cross continents to show up unannounced at their doorstep, demanding to meet with grandchildren and make decisions in my friend’s life. A lot of people would just go “aww it’s because they care” but these are people that physically and mentally abused my friend during their entire childhood. They’re estranged for a reason.

I have a very similar relationship with my mother. She views me less as an individual person and more as property to be controlled and used. When we moved for the first time, I’d managed to upset her one way or another, and her response was to strike me down, straddle me, choke me, and slam me repeatedly in the floor. I was around seven or eight years old at the time. Her showing up and sitting outside of my doorstep for hours on end, demanding that I see her, isn’t a cutesy way of showing her dedication to being in my life, it’s unhinged and completely unacceptable.

Who do? You do, with the power of voodoo.

I always saw orz

Same thing with family members. If you have an estranged parent or so, then harassing and stalking you is somehow always turned into your fault.

“She just cares about you, she’s your mother!”

I hope you’ll be rid your stalker soon. I remember how oppressive it was having one, and I can’t imagine how doubly awful it must be to have one that has financial means to do whatever they want. Absolute nightmare.

Yeah so the solution there is to not just bow down to a dictator. If they want to block Twitter altogether, let them. Let’s not pretend that Musk isn’t willingly going along with that.

Aw, damn!

So like time capsules? I wrote this comment in my sunny office on Friday the 21st of April at 16:35 CEST. Spring is coming and the long awaited sun is lovely.

I hope you in the future have had a wonderful weekend.

Ah, I see. I’ve not tried Snaps, been avoiding Ubuntu because of Canonical’s weirdly corporate angle. Once they baked in Amazon into Ubuntu I was out.

I like the bundling of deps. Sure it’s inefficient, but it runs, and storage comes cheap nowadays anyway.

What do people have against flatpaks? I like them.

Things you can say on the internet, and also in the bedroom.

Completely unrelated segue, but your comment reminded me of this one vet appointment I had with my dog.

He was in for having his teeth cleaned, and came out with his claws trimmed. They managed to cut into his quick on five claws. I don’t even know how they managed to do that, I don’t do that and I don’t have the advantage of him being sedated when I clip them. Then they had the absolute gall to charge me for trimming his claws.

To top it all off; I had an appointment booked with the groomer next-door a couple of days after that so their “service” was unwarranted and unwelcome.

I love this.

When completely new there were problems with the door firmware. I commuted via bus at the time and often got late because the bloody doors would crash. It got ironed out though, and the buses were really nice at that point. After a couple of years though, they’d start wailing like banshees, it was pretty horrible. I’m thinking that’s why they replaced them, but I honestly don’t know.

All that said, they were better than the diesel buses they replaced. Nicer, more spacious, less noisy.

Oh right. My hometown switched to BYD electric busses back in 2019. They’ve since been superseded by Mercedes electric buses though. The BYD ones were kind of rubbish, at least back then.

We have BYD in Europe too. See them all the time.

Tesla already was somewhat ridiculed for trying to be above the law. In Germany they tried to circumvent environmental protections and here in Sweden the unions have been fighting them because they’re trying to circumvent our labour market. There’s been strikes for well over a year now.

Yeah, it wonks the tokens up.

I actually really like machine learning. It’s been a fun field to follow and play around with for the past decade or so. It’s the corpo-facist BS that’s completely tainted it.
