@mattwilcox @sil Maybe apps should not display images by default unless they have alt text. Might be a way to nudge behaviour in the right direction.

@xahteiwi I think striking the right balance between being to formal and overbearing and to casual.

I tend to find the most important is keeping track of the actions that arise and who they are assigned to.

Plus circulating the topic and key bullet points of what needs to be discussed, to all parties before the meeting.

@neil I suspect more related to VM/O2 merger stuff. I know VM run some stuff in Google cloud.

I doubt moving servers would get around OSB obligations.

@neil I have one of the Miniware TS80Ps, which are very similar. Being USB powered it's very handy to be able to take when traveling. It's surprisingly capable of soldering a lot of things. It does fall short on big joints and parts with large ground planes, where is just doesn't have the power.

My old solder station is still my goto however when I'm at home has it has more flexibility for the stuff I'm building.

But for simple stuff and travel flexibility the Pinecil type irons are great.

@sil I do hate the toilet goblin, TBH tend to avoid pubs which do this.

@neil for one of our clients we had to use a SAP platform to upload invoices on. Which they then demanded we had to pay a licence for, the cheek. We expensed it back to the client.

@bigcalm in which case the sites are not complying if they have set cookies before asking permission.

The cookie law is such a sad state of affairs. Mainly driven by poor implementation and people not wanting to do the right thing.

Personally quite proud our sites issue zero tracking cookies.

Let's hear some real world stories for the next PGSQL Phriday (#pgsqlphriday)

@ascherbaum quite. Enshitification as Cory Doctorow puts it.

@KimSJ @ChrisMayLA6 oh yes, no doubt would change behaviours. Those examples would still put cash into the economy though.

Likely it would work well combined with simplifying out tax system. Personally I think just tax any income at the same level regardless of source.

@ChrisMayLA6 if inheritance tax was 100% I bet there would be very different views on the value of society and how the state supports people.

Even if it would not result in everyone starting at the same point in life. I suspect it would yield a more equitable society.

@neil likely very easy with an ESP32 and mosfet. Even easier if you used some WS2812 (Neopixel) strips and WLED.

@larsmb the examples I remember were based on the concept the car had a siren of a fixed frequency.

I think trying to compute the relative frequency shift of what is likely white/pink noise, would extremely difficult.

Especially if the car was accelerating, then the dominant noise would be increasing in frequency anyway.

Any form of radar would be far easier and more reliable.
