Kind of hmm

@prologic@twtxt.net Seems to work? 🧐

Skipped a meeting and went for a stroll this arvo because my head was aching due to tension caused by lack of physical activity. That was a very good decision: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-07-23/

I’m not a fan of light shows but that’s a cool UFO! https://youtu.be/DbSmUCCR9Es

Dang it, @david@daiwei.me, you blew my cover!

I was raised without a TV, so I don’t miss it one bit. My parents just didn’t by a new one after their super old black and white device died. Looking after a baby was maybe spare time activity enough for them. :-P

When there was some super cool program I wanted to watch, like a James Bond movie, I visited my grandma. Sure, it sometimes was a pity that I could not join yesterday’s TV series discussions with my classmates, but oh well. I survived that. Building stuff with Lego or playing outside was all I really wanted.

Apart from a few really good programs, there’s sooooo much trash, non-stop ads and the like. Even as a kid, I was very disgusted by all that. But I have to admit that visting somebody with a TV and watching a good show was usually a highlight. These days, I can easily waste all my time and more on YouTube. :-/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @klaxzy@klaxzy.net Same situation here.

Data protection, @dce@hashnix.club! :-D

This revealed another bug in my client that I still need to fix at some point. Inserting an empty set of messages failed with an SQL logic error. Whoops. I didn’t think about that corner case.

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Hey, sounds exactly like the company I work(ed) for.

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t think so? At least, I didn’t hear about any issues on Codeberg’s end. It may, of course, have had something to do with me using HTTPie instead of wget, but I really don’t know what happened.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh I agree. Long-term the whole thing is completely “fucked”. But it says more about “Cloud” and “X as a Service” than about “AI” itself. It’s a bit like all these fucking entertainment subscription services you need to entertain one’s self. How many subscriptions does one need to Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Stan, etc, etc.
