@JakeeMan
What language was this originally in? That "6" looks like a pun on popular Russian supermarket chain 😹

@fribbledom
> you get the ability to control your lights while away from home using their mobile app
Is it only me who finds this funny? Why would I want to control lights away from home, to give my cats a scare? 🤪
I mean, you might have cameras installed which might be not infrared and in this case you might want to control lights too, but it seems to me to be a very narrow corner case.

@biarine
Cats can sit on anything. One of the cats I've had could sit on top of an open book while I've been holding it and reading. And it wasn't a particularly thick book. Why? Who knows — cats 😹

@Tony @n3f_X
Don't! You can still go to that liquor store 😏

@theteapixie
Manual of my washing machine explicitly states that I should check for small animals before closing the door 😸

@yukiame
Oh, man! Why is this so funny? Every time I find it reposted on my page, I have a good laugh 😹

Wow, I didn't know not only that there is PhD in that, but there is an intersection of natural science and social sciences. Interesting 😲

Fairphone 5 is being extensively reviewed on GSMArena next to the new iPhones — no problem with that.
It's true, that iPhones' refresh is usually hyped, but I don't see this particular one standing out in any way 🤷

@BlueWaveSurfer@universeodon.com Looks dazzled — just as advertized 😹

@FalconMarkSix
Post criticizing Google illustrated by images in WebP format… so contradictory 😏

@thomholwerda No, I, of course won't be against having a Talos ][ workstation, but I'm not sure I ever have spare funds for that 😅

@thomholwerda Using anything non-x86 and non-ARM might be problematic today, I have PowerMac G5 too— a lot of software requires patching, some outright incompatible, for example Go is poorly supported on PowerPC and I can't build some of my favourite software. You could probably solve this problem with that expansion card.
Having your dream computer makes you lose interest in getting new hardware I think.

@thomholwerda I've always wanted to have a pre-Nehalem Mac Pro and two 30" Cinema Displays. And I have it now. I've had it since it was still relatively current, by modern standards it's showing its age already, but I still like this machine. Mine's not maxed out, it has top CPU for this model, but I think I can put 4 more gigs of RAM into it — 28 is enough for the though. I have GTX680 with Mac-compatible firmware in it — also pretty old card now, but not too old.

Disgust would probably be a better word here 😂

@useless_idiot So when I hear this "But they hate us" now, I respond with "Well, if you start telling them they should be part of the empire, Eastern Bloc and all that, they might even punch you in your face — and they would be right" 😂

@useless_idiot I knew a few Poles in person and even online Poles are among the most fun people so I have always found this hard to believe.
The real reason is probably serf's way of thinking — when your master gets attacked you have to protect him, same here. Polish officials often voice something unfriendly towards Russia — the state, not the people — but a lot of Russians take it personally.

@useless_idiot I think they hate Poles because being Slavic people, Poles still managed to break this cycle of abuse and distanced themselves from the empire — same reason they hate Ukrainians now I think.
You might be surprised, but that's the way they bring you up here — I've been eyeing Poland as a country to move to and nearly everyone, especially the older generation have been telling me: "Why Poland? They hate us!". None of these people of course ever been to Poland.
