My kitchen scale boots up with the message "hi" every time it registers pressure. Which happens a lot by accident and I'm left feeling bad for the thing because I just engage it and then leave it hanging.
So, congrats to whoever decided a kitchen scale should be anthropomorphized. I'm sure H. C. Andersen Would be impressed.
Take "walk" with a grain of salt. You basically have to jump because you constantly get stuck on trash.
I wonder how long they spent designing the trash waste land areas in Cyberpunk 2077.
Like, you're clearly not supposed to be going through it because there's no objectives out there. And you can't travel through it by car/motorcycle.
Yet there is a lot of details to these huge areas that you will only get to appreciate if you are stubborn enough to walk a kilometer through it instead of just driving around...
It's quite immersion breaking. I can't suspend my disbelief about Americans using metric.
Elastic company, relicensing, upset
Thanks, OSI, I knew I could count on you to be outraged ❤️
Elastic company, relicensing, upset
I feel like people aren't outraged enough about the Elastic re-licensing.
We're talking about a company that's branded itself on open source software for 9 years. Accepting 3rd party contributions made in good faith. Still writing "Open source, it's our heart" on their website.
But actually not releasing their core products under an open source license anymore.
That's betrayal of their core values.
And I bet it won't even work.
congrats to Elasticsearch in somehow managing to make Amazon of all companies come out of this as the good guy
RT @awscloud@twitter.com
We are committed to open source. To help keep Elasticsearch and Kibana open for everyone, we are announcing that we will launch new forks of both Elasticsearch and Kibana based on the latest Apache 2.0 licensed codebases. https://go.aws/3qEp4NM
#Google starts to lock out non-official Chrome builds like #Chromium. The #web is a cricual infrastructure these days and as such we need independent browsers and rendering engines!
If you care about the free and open web you shouldn't use Chrome based browsers.

If you are reading this… congratulations you are alive. If that is not something to smile about, then I don't know what is.
