Now that cars have become rolling smartphones, it's been pretty disappointing to see them copy some of the worst practices from the smartphone world. I wrote an article that talks about some of those problems. [CW: Tesla negativity] https://puri.sm/posts/locked-in-a-remote-control-car/

I am really not sure whether adding freedesktop (sub-) categories to #LINMOBapps is worth it at all:

Story found! It's "Profession" by Asimov, from 1957.

@TheGibson
Wow...

It's not THAT weird though.

There are two scenarios.

Scenario 1: the billing system goes offline, you keep supplying oil, after a bit of legal back and forth with your customers you end up losing some income.

Scenario 2: you don't run the risk of missing income by shutting it all down.

Which would the shareholders prefer? And why would the effects of their choices on the rest of the country even factor into their decisions?

I seem to be picking up followers here *faster* now that I announced my intention to leave (going to https://social.hexdsl.co.uk/hexdsl ) which is odd to say the least.

I have just had the best week in a very long time. I went back to pre-pandemic work for the first time since 17th March last year.

It is was wonderful. Truly wonderful. I was working with my good friends, whom I've sorely missed, doing the job I love!

Don't do Daylight Savings, kids.

#WordOfTheDay

computeracy

Pronunciation /kəmˈpjuːt(ə)rəsi/
noun
Knowledge of or skill in using computers; the quality or state of being computerate.

Origin
1960s; earliest use found in The Times. Either from computer + -acy, after literacy, or a blend of computer and literacy.

==========

There is a sense that young people are computerate. It's like suggesting that eating food means you are a good cook, or driving a car means you are a mechanic. Temper your expectations.
