my therapist said once "we get good at what we practice, so be careful what you practice" and tbh she was so right for that but also How Dare You??? open my eyes like that???

If you see one of these things, cover your face and tip it over, if you have any paint or tools with you, wreck their cameras. [video]

Why a workers’ rebellion in 19th-century England is relevant in the age of data extraction, gig labour and management by algorithm.

Appropos of nothing, nail polish comes in very small bottles that will fit in most bags, or pockets, without takingnup significant room, and removing it from many plastic-like surfaces is difficult, since many of those are dissolved in acetone

Witnessed on of these blocking the curb the other day. A woman in a wheelchair needed the space but the Captialism Robot completely blocked the way. The light changed color.

Luckily the oncoming driver saw this as well, turned on his warnings and pulled up to block her from other drivers.

A man came out of the crowd and literally had to pick up the robot and move it so she could safely access the sidewalk. A woman next to me commented to her friend "well that was nice of him, but now his door dash account will be deactivated because he touched it" as if that was anywhere in the realm of reasonable responses to witnessing one of these things endanger a woman's life. Oh no, his account 🙄 whatever will he do. Fuck these robots, and fuck doordash/ubereats/all these companies taking over public spaces for shareholder gains.

He's prostrating himself before the Eucharist, in case you're wondering. Or possibly planking.

Hi, pope expert here. This isn’t funny — popes only do this when they’re in extreme distress

ⓘ Tip You can skip part of the day by taking a nap.

I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

[biglawbear]

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .

[maddie-2022]

This is also why NASA missions usually keep going so long after schedule. They are *masters* of graceful degradation, able to keep machines limping along on minimal power and after sustaining heavy damage
