I tried a couple of smart bulbs and a google assistant radio a few years ago and they were all so abominably crap they all went in the bin and I will never again.

To all on strike tomorrow, this member of the public is very grateful for the sacrifice you make. It is long past time people stood up to those who never have a problem raising their own salary and conditions. SOLIDARITY! #Spiergorm

Having just watched the Prime Time interview with Nikita Hand, and a PT report on endometriosis, and a lifetime seeing the shite the women in my life go through all of the fucking time, my hot take for the evening is that our society needs to start treating women - all women - better.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! There is NO ethical consumption of Harry Potter Not the books, movies, or tv show. Not licensed games or merch. Not fanfic. Not even pirated. EVERY bit keeps the franchise alive and enables JKR's transphobia If you truly care about trans people, you need to let it die

They also need to be made to go through application processes for things like DCA, Disability Allowance, Carer's Allowance, get a tiny sense of the pain and frustration "the public" face at the hands of government every day.

Jack Chambers was being paid 86k in 2016 at the age of 26. Now he's making a six figure basic salary plus an additional salaried allowance as a Minister to a grand total of €206,617. This man hasn't the vaguest fucking fraction of a clue of how hard things are for everyone at the moment.

Running down services through underfunding and bad mismanagement is really unfair on the public. I am the public. I support the workers. I am already waiting 5 years and more for appointments so another day won't matter to me.

I had a cat who would gently lift my eyelids with his beans. The first time I was terrified, but very soon realised he knew what he was doing. Same cat pooped in my shoes and handbag if not satisfied, too.

Anxiety, depression, IBS, hormones but only until you think you're peri-meno then it's what hormones?... And then there is the biggie... drug-seeking. Literally anything except "let's find out what is causing this and address it." My husband never faces any of this.

My youngest was 9 in 2016, and the morning after the US election, as we walked to the school bus, he looked up into a beautiful, clear blue sky at a contrail forming overhead and joked: "Look mammy, immigrants from America." Interesting even young kids knew it the first time.

Call me old-fashioned, but I miss the days when a headline told you what the story was about, rather than its clickbaity successor eg "Three words that mean we could all be dead in a fortnight".

Yeah, heating my tank is 40% of my electricity use, and as that is necessarily done in the wee, cheaper hours of the morning most of the heat is wasted before it can be used.

My off-brand TV box barely has enough juice to run the few tiny apps on it already so good fucking luck with that. Still, it works well enough to pirate entertainment so I never have to resort to watching RTE.

this is just a worm and people have gone to jail before for creating one. again: they are being allowed to break the law in order to puff their product, and sooner or later people will die because of that. there are *already laws* that cover all this.

the idea that everyone's fridge + TV strung off virgin media is anywhere near equivalent enough to even “walk” any* AI, much less “run” an AI, is ridiculous *: any AI model capable of the self-replication they're moaning about -- you can run very tiny e.g. speech-recognition ones on a hand-crank

If they can replicate and operate on tiny household items with minimal hardware, what the fuck are giant data centres for? There is a big smelly rat here and a tenner says RTE published a press release from Anthropic with zero journalistic enquiry or pushback so I won't satisfy them with a click.

I don't know why RJ Mitte killed himself💔 But I do know that #disability is a known precursor to suicide. Not b/c those of us who are #disabled are inherently depressed, but b/c it's SO hard to live in a world that largely refuses to accommodate us.
