This explanation sounds very reasonable, and it makes me feel even more disgusted.

Fun idea: Flood their contact addresses with fake applications and fake credentials like certificates with high scores on made-up IQ tests or Mensa membership cards.

I want to believe this, too. But considering how there are smart people clubs with upwards of 50,000 members in the US that treat "passing" an IQ test as their sole entry criterion, I am sure there are some. Not all who have intelligence also have the wisdom to use it well.

California is the USA in a bottle. You got progressive cities, conservative suburbs, rural areas and industrial hotspots, poor folks as well as the obscenely rich. Ronald Reagan was Governor in California for 8 years before becoming the blueprint of conservative candidates for the presidency.

Das ist auch genau der Grund, warum ich die Schuld weniger bei den Wählern sehe. Merz und Co. wissen natürlich, dass diese Forderungen substanzlos sind, den Wählern fehlen aber häufig die Informationen um das zu verstehen. Auch das weiß Merz ganz genau. Dass Leute wie Merz solche Aussagen trotzdem machen, ist unverantwortlich, zumal er die Leute damit nicht nur zur CDU treibt sondern auch zur AfD. Der Mann schadet dem Land, er weiß das, und es ist ihm egal.

Do you have a minute to talk about our Lord and savior, the pacman package manager?

You must gather your congregation before venturing forth!

It's colossally stupid.

It's called a patina, and it's an intended side-effect of repeated use that increases performance.

Recently re-discovered this gem of a blog post, written in 2018 by Nikita Propokov, about his disenchantment with the state of modern software. Do you think it's still relevant today (perhaps more/less so than it was when it was written)?

My partner and I are getting a cat and consider getting a robot vacuum cleaner for our apartment to help keep it clean. Up until now, I've been against getting one due to privacy concerns and negative reports about certain manufacturers (e.g., iRobot/Roomba). Now I'm reevaluating, because my partner is sensitive to dust, and regular vacuuming will be a must.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations about manufacturers or models with a light privacy footprint or good reputation on that front?

I am aware that most robots that actually work will also gather data, and newer models even incorporate photo/video to improve pattern recognition performance. Still, I would be more comfortable with one that does that within reason (e.g., collects as little data as possible, transfers as little as possible to remote servers, encrypts data for transfer and storage).
