imagine The Big One happens in SF, and every waymo on the street instantly becomes a giant roadblock for emergency workers trying to put out fires and rescue and save the lives of seriously injured people all over the city. people will die - because these products aren't "safer than humans"; they can't do basic things even bottom-quartile human drivers can.
waymo corporate is betting they can PR their way past all that. our duty as citizens and humans is to make sure they can't.

Friends, I have £1,000 that I want to donate to a UK trans support charity.
I've donated in the past, but I was hoping someone (with experience) could recommend a charity that they think would benefit from the donation (and helped you in some way).
It's a single donation to make a greater impact.
If you have any questions, please do ask me too (or DMs/email)

The US is currently offering rewards for snitching on european antifa organisations that are more and more considered foreign terrorist organisations.
This is part of a wider strategy to establish and support fascism in europe.
One electric oven wired up and running.
We can cook again, although I do miss having a gas cooker, this is just the way things need to go, I guess.

Calling all office nerds 😎 the Office Mimics are now available (for free) in my Kofi! These are a set of .ico files to customize your folder/program icons with!
https://www.ko-fi.com/s/3683ca94cb
These were super fun to make, hope you have fun customizing your desktop using these!
I've given up so I'm asking for help to at least end this year on a little bit of hope and positivity.

It has come to my attention that Calibre has started adding AI shit into its functionality.
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT CAN I MAYBE HAVE JUST ONE PROGRAM THAT DOESN"T TRY TO DO AI BULLSHIT?
Just one? Maybe?
Anyway, if you want to have an AI-free calibre, you'll need to not upgrade past version 8.10. 😡

insane behaviour from AMD asking me to install a 10.5GB chat bot to ask it what my GPU temperature is

Just to clarify: nothing against anyone who /enjoys/ difficult games, I just dislike the attitude that tends to come with it
"This game is too hard, the enemies are unreasonably difficult and the devs gave me no room for error"
"well that sounds like a skill issue"
Perhaps, but the root of the problem is that /the game is too fucking difficult to be considered reasonable and genuinely fun/

I keep seeing ads for “Smart Rings”, and the concept terrifies me.
How do you deal with thermal runaway when the battery decides to have a bad day on your finger? What if it swells? You can’t just cut it off without risking a thermal event either.
Just seems like another shiny Thing You Really Don’t Need™️ that also seems like a really bad idea if you think about it more than a few months into the future.

starting to think that the villagers who say my character in Critter Cove "seems like the kind of girl who knows the importance of a 'sweet jiggly cake'" aren't talking about literal cakes.

Okay, can barely move without being in agony from all this chaos and lack of sleep.
So very exhausted from having to get up early every day this week so that the Housing Authority can remodel the kitchen, and their contractors are not great.
Been without hot water/central heating as the electrician never bothered to wire up the gas isolator thing. Apparently they should never have left us without hot water/heating.
So now I get to be up early on Saturday so they can send round the electrician to fix it out-of-hours.
I'm so incredibly shattered... mentally and physically.
