@thomasfuchs love it.
More practically - if it’s end-of-life’d and isn’t opened then at the very least those products should be recalled and/reimbursed as breach of [implied] contract.

@MissConstrue@mefi.social I vehemently dislike the word ‘hero’. It feels like something American culture enshittified hard over the past several decades. About the only phrase it even makes sense anymore is “never meet your hero’s”
For me, though, Sam is the one true paladin. Lawful good. Sam is aspirational as a spirit, as a soul, as a beacon. Samwise isn’t exactly attainable but, like the cultural impact of Mr Rogers, approachable and knowable.
Sams never get their due but truly are heroic.

@ifixcoinops@retro.social I travel for work a fair bit, about 10 days at a time so times zones are a real thing. Anyway there’s an energy drink that I like, and a different one my partner who also travels likes.
Two to a large ziploc, I’ve had maybe two leak in over a decade so maybe 600 or more made the trip?

@LarsFosdal@mastodon.social @petrillic@hachyderm.io if you haven’t already do find a copy of The Salmon of Doubt. Stephen Fry’s forward is a remarkable tribute.

@Zumbador@mefi.social when I get a flavour of this that is high on the “disconnected from reality” part and low on the “lightheartedness and adjacent pieces” I know I’m on the express to seizure town

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io @zrail@hachyderm.io For an open source project you’d need an entity that could “bond” the work. Whether that’s financially or by reputation I’m not sure what the model would look like.
It might be possible if the problem was sufficiently scoped - ie just a kernel on static hardware that could still be affordable manufactured in 25 years.
After some unseasonably warm weather we get some unreadably cool. Not raining yet but #birdsofmastodon appear to be hunkering down.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io nope. It just feels, to me, all downside for the reasons you’ve mentioned. I have cause to pickup my phone regularly and am not going to be fussed with positioning it just so just to get inefficient charging.
That being said I do use a wireless charger everyday…. Because I have an old set of AirPod pros and my last remaining lightning cable died and I refuse to buy more.
Ready to throw down, these little assholes are pretty … antisocial
It’s been a hot minute since an AskMe dug me out of my RSS reader to comment but this one was pretty much designed to: https://ask.metafilter.com/390513/What-fun-movies-blew-your-mind-this-century

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io I live on Vancouver island, famous for temperate climates as such things exist in Canada.
In the last week of June 2021 we had a “heat dome” with temperatures 20min degrees higher than normal in most places. For a day a little town in the interior of BC was the hottest place on earth, months after nearly being washed away in record setting floods.
We didn’t have AC or central heat. We’re also quarantining after an international work trip. The thermometer in the sun where our front is hit over 60c multiple times.
25deg here is a heat wave. We are doomed.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io can I get a Winnebago if I use ‘no more secrets’ enough times?
