The people here tend to talk funny and gatekeep about it, but if that doesn’t bother you - feel at home!

Just stop!

But what helped me: often smoking is part of a daily routine or ritual, so mix up your routine. Take up a new hobby or take the bus instead of the car. Go for a walk after lunch. Giving up smoking is a big change, so don’t be afraid to make big changes. Get new clothes. Make new friends. You have discarded your old identity as a smoker. Still smoking? Doesn’t matter! You already want to stop - you’re becoming that person already.

And don’t be so hard on yourself if you have a smoke now and then. Be conscious of what situation or routine triggered the reflex, and change it in future. If you have a smoke every few days or weeks, don’t sweat it, you’ve broken addiction as far as I’m concerned!

Thanks. Damn autocorrect.

Back in the 80s, Don Norman popularized the term affordance. Humans need something to push, pull, turn or otherwise interact with. We are physical beings in a physical world.

Driving vehicles is potentially life-endangering. Just because the technology is there and cheaper does not mean that humans can push aside their physiological limitations in a critical situation.

Take the emergency blinker. You know where it is, you see it all the time - it’s right there in front of you! But when a real emergency happens, you’ll be fumbling for the button, concentrating on the situation at hand. Now imagine that button on a touchscreen.

Just recently saw a video of an experimental self driving vehicle from Bosch - from the 90’s!

You could imagine we’d be much further now, considering how far computing power, computer vision and AI have come.

Also not exactly cheap!

If you’re into self-hosting there’s Wallabag, but it’s not half as slick as Omnivore.

What? I can’t hear you!

Could someone eli5 to me old fart why it’s a good idea to restrict content to a certain time? Increase engagement, OK, but why so much effort to create content that disappears after two weeks?

Timmmayy!

I’m out of the loop since I’ve been using a self hosted Miniflux, but Raven certainly is an alternative.

Actually, there is a company that makes resin printed children’s glasses for about €200 a pop. My son tried them at the opticians and I was impressed by the finish and flexibility. Just to say that 3d printed glasses are really commercially viable.

Welcome to the wonderful world of auction sniping on eBay!

I had to check Wikipedia to be sure. OK, the S got updated motors or restyled taillights, but they’re all externally indistinguishable for the non Tesla nerd. Look at how the Corvette and Mustang changed over the years, or the F-Series trucks. They went with the zeitgeist, and the S is still visually stuck in 2012.

What I don’t get about Tesla is: when will they ever update their existing vehicles, like every other car company does? The Model S has been around for over ten years. Aren’t they planning an S2? Or this all the RnD they have?

The Internet Archive is being DDOSed for the lulz.

I’m worried that the boat is full of water.

Pihole is good for a private network, but you can forget it in a work setting, especially corporate networks.

Das wiederum ist eine Straftat.
