@mavica certainly soured me on pure maths

@mavica that would be correct, yes

@mavica double especially for anything with eight legs

they're the natural enemy of those of us with eight arms

(for real I'm arachnophobic though)

@mavica if they're a couple bucks a month cheaper I might give them a shot but massively cheaper? hell no

considering it's a hemp pattern I'm expecting the green version will be repeatedly set to about 20 past 4

And now in actually interesting watch news, these have been announced by Seiko

Seiko Presage "Sharp Edges" series

Nicely finished, 39mm cases, 6R35 movements

The dial is inspired by a traditional hemp leaf pattern from the Heian period (794-1185) and apparently symbolise growth and prosperity

And you can buy all 4 of them for less than the cost of one of the recent Rolex releases (they're $1,000-ish each)

@Jo well... yes

basically that

but specially produced to hold that bit of software

with like, box art on them and stuff

@mavica ooh, yeah, like that

I want software to come on cartridges again

Not like, SD card sized, that sort of data density scares me, but like size of a cigarette lighter and they go into a little compartment in the computer

@mavica is it a trick question and they're all real?

@mavica misskey any% speedrun

@zatnosk @noelle oh, also this apparently applies to the personal data of persons who are not citizens of the EU and to organisations that may not be based in the EU

last night was... interesting

@zatnosk @noelle that was exactly the interpretation that was given when this came up

because apparently "deleting data" can somehow be interpreted as "processing data" and it's against the GDPR to process data without the consent of the person whose data it is

or at least that's how far I managed to reason it out before I got a headache

@douglasfur tempting but that would require me to have a shrek

if I get on the waitlist now I might get one some time in 2030
