Hot take: employers shouldn't be allowed to tell you what clothes you are permitted to wear at work.

(Don't bother responding if your analysis doesn't go beyond "but the company needs it!")

@gewt Aw! I'm really curious now, we don't have anything equivalent around here (in the Netherlands)

@Ninji (They are a major supplier of low-cost lightbulbs here, and practically the sole supplier of Action, a major discount store)

@Ninji lmao of course it's fucking Calex. Not the first time I've seen them come up with absurd branding for lighting products, though I don't recall the specifics of the previous cases anymore...

@Dee You need to at least use automotive duct tape to pass the roadworthiness tests

That's a problem for future me. I'm sure future me will be angry at past me about it - but thankfully I am current me, and neither past nor future me, so therefore *I* will never have to deal with the consequences

Computer touchers shitpost about gremlins and shit when tech mysteriously fails, and I wonder how much of historical folklore is just this exact same thing happening for other stuff and some people taking the shitpost a little bit too seriously

Every Tesla is a surveillance device. This is worth knowing regardless of whether you plan to engage in protest activity.

This chart shows the locations and ranges of the cameras, presuming they have an unobstructed view.

@echedellelr I've solved the problem for myself in the meantime by having a separate account on a less loaded server that only has a few chats open with people I want to stay in contact with at all times. Synapse's performance seems to get exponentially worse the more rooms you're in, so this works okay-ish.

Hey @hosting, I reported a mass spammer to you like 4 hours ago and they're still spamming people all over the place. What gives?

Surely you don't have such big moderation coverage gaps, given that you're running an open-signup instance?

@echedellelr I'm only using Element-derived things as a stopgap measure until I find a better option, for much the same reason - in fact, on some of the Element rewrites, I warned them of the outcome ahead of time, they dismissed the warning, and guess how it worked out...

I don't think either Signal or SimpleX are really the same kind of thing as Matrix, so I don't think they can serve as a plausible replacement for me. I've just been working (with others) on a protocol fork for a while now, to cut Element out of the picture entirely and establish some reasonable governance process.

But, that takes time to get to a usable result...

Yeah okay I guess I'm done with talking on Matrix for today, if the server can't manage to process my messages in less than 10 minutes

Honestly why doesn't all restaurants have bondage rope and heavy duty batteries as an addon with your food

Browsing the Danish food ordering app Just Eat and there's a "self care" shop that you can have bondage rope and fluffy handcuffs delivered from every day 9 am to midnight :BlobCatCoffee:
