@dmcgk @Kaiern I have a battery-powered snow blower from Ryobi. Itâs decent. Also quite expensive when I realised I needed 36v batteries. đŹ I have long paths to clear, and it certainly helps with most of itâŠ
Iâve seen the new âelectric shovelâ from Ryobi as well. Looks neat but would be too little for my needs.
Both these feel expensive but considering that snow shoveling is significant trigger of cardiac arrest amongst men (here in Sweden), itâs an investment in myself as well.
@mkj As a long-time Atari XL and ST user I love the fact that software easter eggs likely got their name by way of Atari.
I remember in the early 2000s how I loved making sure there was an easter egg in most hobby websites I built. Usually a keypress combination. It seems like Google/Alphabet is the primary software company keeping to this tradition, but Iâm gonna try and make an effort to encourage more easter eggs in corporate websites.
Iâve added an easter egg to my business card site. If you click the heart in the footer, or type âloveâ, you get a rainfall ofâŠ
I know itâs not truly an easter egg if I tell you about it, but easter eggs on websites seem like such an old concept now and who would go looking for one here đ

Ja, eller ministrarna sjÀlva.
The reason Grok so easily can generate nudes of children is because it is trained on that type of content. It is not using "imagination".
Too few are saying this part aloud. Any face generated using image-gens can be from a situation of abuse.
Explained: Image generators need so much data that there is no one at the companies that build them who can keep track of where the data comes from and what is actually portrayed in the source data. No one can take responsibility, which the bros embrace as a feature, not a bug.
That is why I am particularly bothered by generated images of children, as it has previously been shown that large datasets likely contain many images of abuse. There are such large amounts of images that it would take thousands of years to look through them. Which to me makes it obvious that they contains violent images of all kinds.
So when an image (or film) is generated where children appear â in any situation, I always wonder: why does that particular child's face appear? Whose child might have fallen victim to the computational model this time... resurfacing pain that refuses to go away when tech companies immortalize it.
And yes, of course this goes beyond children.
This makes me truly shudder amongst all other carnage the software causes.
@leffe Jag testade faktiskt en gÄng att se hur jag skulle agera för att fÄ Mullvad helt anonymt. Jag tog ut kontanter och köpte sedan en kod för Mullvad med dessa kontanter pÄ Webhallen. Det som slog mig var att jag kÀnde behov att ta ut pengarna geografiskt lÄngt frÄn butik.
Men det funkade smÀrtfritt. Jag Àr vÀldigt imponerad av Mullvads förmÄga att leva upp till sina vÀrderingar.
@leffe Det fÄr mig att tÀnka att man skulle behöva ha mellanhÀnder som prenumerar Ät en. Men jag vet inte om det skulle kÀnnas tryggare.
VÀldigt imponerad av Dagens ETC som dagstidning. Det blir till att förnya prenumerationen.

Tell me this is not exactly what tech companies are doing. And UX, my own industry, has a lot to answer for.
@normalniklas Kul, ser ut som det jag tÀnkte göra imorgon. PÄ en Mac Mini om jag fÄr ihop det.
I believe the most shocking moment of television Iâve ever experienced was today.
An episode of Younger, a series Iâm really enjoying.
This episode though.
The barn. Stella. đ±đ
What. the. xxxx.
@Allinrep Tack! đ
@iakonkret Tack! Kul, det Àr sÄ fÄ man byter visitkort med idag :)
Designade nya visitkort. Nu lÀngtar jag bara efter att hÄlla dem i handen. Jag Àr lite gammeldags pÄ det viset...
I have to say, the Bluesky bridge is confusing for me(!)
I don't use it myself but sometimes I respond to posts and only realise much later it was from a bridge account, in which case the user may or my not see my reply. I certainly don't see my reply on Bluesky. Same thing can happen vice versa.
I don't want a compulsory opt-in to another service, I want the AT and ActivityPub protocols to be compatible. In lieu of that the bridge accounts need to be a lot more obvious in their presentation.
Right now I'm not sure if the brid.gy service makes things better or worse but it feels like the latter to me.
Thinking of reinstalling my computer from scratch to iron out all its kinks and tardiness from years of software experiments and trials. Just need to make sure all files are backed up... as I don't want to reinstall the computer from a backup â which would defeat the purpose.
My other task is I want to turn my old Mac mini into a home server. But that needs many hours of focus... haven't done something like that before.
I think my main concern is getting tech issues out of the way and all my devices set up in the best possible way to support me in not having to deal with tech issues the rest of the year... haha.
