Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 29/06/2026*Not to imply they should take away the phones too. Once outside is enjoyable, and parents don't get arrested for letting their children walk 500m from home, the next generation of kids will just go outside, without having their phones taken away... 0102 10
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 29/06/2026Yeah, they can't just make kids go outside by taking away the phones. They've gotta make it possible to exist outside (as a child) first. Living in an awful HOA, with anti-loitering laws, no sidewalks, no parks, nothing within walking distance, wtf are kids supposed to do? Get run over by an F350? 2131 13
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 22/06/2026That is fucking insane. I'm shorter than you and can see over the roofs of most cars I see in the parking lot every day. I can't even imagine having the hood be *above my head*. 120 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 20/05/2026If it doesn't sell enough to justify making one every year, they should just put it on the iPhone SE release schedule. The diehards will be fine with slightly outdated hardware as long as they can still buy a <6" phone. 130 3
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 28/04/2026I've been advised to store mine in a dark place at room temperature (same as on the EV box above). IIRC, cooling it down too far can get the estrogen out of solution, which is probably fixable but still annoying and a bad idea. 020 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 25/04/2026I gotta say thanks to Apple for making the Apple Wallet button just download a .pkpass file that I can put into whatever wallet app I want, instead of redirecting me to an "add to wallet" webpage like the Google Wallet button. 030 3
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 22/04/2026Seems like these people believe AI will take over the world because LLMs *are* significantly more intelligent than anything they can comprehend. 010 1
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 18/04/2026the numbers are real, but so are the other numbers that all the people saying "the numbers are real" are ignoring 020 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 10/04/2026those also have transaction fees? I think this is a use case for account credit Instead of charging 5c every time you read an article, let me buy credit in 1usd increments, and then charge my account 5c in credit for every article... 030 3
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 08/04/2026I've yet to receive a package that got here via one of the freighters that fly over my house at night, that'd be insane 020 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 08/04/2026Getting a notification "package arrived at facility", opening up flightradar and finding the exact flight it was on -- God I love "watching" logistics happen when I'm up in the middle of the night. 130 3
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 06/04/2026It had the audacity to put up a red banner telling me to check MY internet connection lol 020 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 27/03/2026When it was still a thing, I hated micro USB because it's a shit connector Now that it's mostly gone, I hate micro USB because whenever I run into the odd device that still uses it, I have to go digging through 5 boxes of electronics to find the one working micro USB cable I own 010 1
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 22/03/2026Well there's six wires, and iirc SPI needs four, so the two extra wires are probably what's powering it. 210 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 14/03/2026Instead of gendered bathrooms you get a bathroom bathroom and a sex bathroom. Pretty solid improvement :p Tho the really interesting thing would be which of those is gonna be worse to clean. 1281 28
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 06/03/2026Holy Fuck, good thing it's exam season and I only have to drive to Uni like 5 times this month. 120 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 26/02/2026"It should be forbidden because it's illegal"-ass argument. You can think something is immoral and should be illegal, even if it isn't currently. That's, like, the entire point of politics??? 020 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 26/02/2026No. The second they're allowed again, they'll use their wealth to buy influence and gut that welfare state for personal gain. It's like forgetting what got us into this mess in the first place, *before we got out of this current one.* 000 0
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 22/02/2026Parents can already do that tho. If you put at least some effort into it, you can set up pretty good parental controls. You just gotta want it. This is more of a parenting issue than a tech issue imo 150 5
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 22/02/2026One of those "you're not stuck in traffic, you are the traffic" shirts but for "noise"... 000 0
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 22/02/2026Same for vehicle defects. There's gotta be a way to tell other drivers that they have a taillight out that isn't wildly flashing your high beams at them. But just giving everyone a radio would probably turn all frequencies into a road rage cesspool. 000 0
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 22/02/2026I feel like there has to be a low stakes way to correct typos. Because some typos really do make the work harder to parse and understand, but going "*you're" both makes you look like an ass and embarasses the person you're replying to. Idk how but I'd love if something like that existed. 100 1
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 08/02/2026Because not every collision that cuts a wire somewhere mangles the car so much that the doors are completely jammed? 130 3
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 08/02/2026Just make sure each ambulance and fire truck has at least one POC crew member at all times, that way the flock surveillance cameras will automatically dispatch ICE to any accident site! 010 1
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 08/02/2026You mean to say that the pull being there, even hidden behind the entire fucking door panel, counts as having an emergency release? Because in that case I'd love to see you take off the door panel while the door is closed and the car is on fire. 120 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 03/02/2026Tbf the no soul computer on wheels thing is true, because that's just all new cars. There's just no old EVs from when CAN-Bus was a hot new invention, so stupid people go "Petrol is when no computer" 130 3
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 03/02/2026As someone who kinda lost interest in cars because all the other people into cars around me were weird chuds, I love it :3 Also is the first episode file supposed to be 1.3GB? 120 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 03/02/2026I personally know 4 for 18V: Bosch Pro (AMPShare), Bosch Home, Einhell (Power X-Change), and Makita. With some light googling, I also found: Hilti, Milwaukee, Festool, Metabo (CAS), and Dewalt, all with their own version of the same thing. 020 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 03/02/2026And with that standard, you could mandate all bigger battery tools use them, so you could easily swap them between all those devices. Bosch lawnmower battery ran out and you don't wanna wait for it to charge? Just get the battery off your Makita power drill and continue... 100 1
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 03/02/2026I'd love if we could get a standard interface for power tool batteries. They're all just 12V or 18V battery packs, only the plastic housing shape makes it so you can't put a Makita battery in a Bosch tool (or a Bosch battery in a Bosch tool lol) 260 6
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 25/01/2026Wait that's in unicode? I'm gonna have so much more fun with my little unicode shortcut thingy ☭☭☭☭☭ 010 1
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 10/01/2026The issue is the institution of law enforcement itself breeds shit like this. In theory they should do all those things, but they still often don't, and they're never held accountable. And you gotta ask: If a rule/law isn't enforced, does it even meaningfully exist? 1212 21
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 10/01/2026I *love* old electrical work that's been modified 100 times since the house was built. Something simple like switching out an outlet will take 10x as long as it should because you first need to fix 10 other things before you can even start. 030 3
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 04/01/2026Touch screens can stay, BUT anything you touch while driving should be a physical button. Stuff like entering an address was fucking awful before touchscreens. I'm glad new cars just have an on screen keyboard instead of making you use what's essentially a D-Pad to type. 000 0
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 15/12/2025Without dedicated bike infrastructure, you kinda want the ability to keep up with traffic. We have 45km/h (28mph) e-bikes here (tho they need plates and a scooter license), and even those suck sometimes because they can't keep up with 50km/h (31mph) traffic. 030 3
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 17/10/2025They probably made the whole government switch to excel files in a google drive somewhere because it's cheaper than doing it properly 060 6
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 14/09/2025You could try taking it apart, seeing if thoroughly cleaning its guts would help. Otherwise look for spare parts, ik mouse switches are all the same, maybe scroll wheels are another standardized component. Last resort would be finding another broken one with a different defect and swapping parts. 000 0
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 14/09/2025Yeah I'd hesitate to call it "covered" since it's so short, but it's a great proof of concept. I don't see a reason they couldn't just copy/paste this structure to cover a longer stretch in the future... 010 1
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 14/09/2025Naja, die Bundesregierung wundert mich nicht. Um teil davon zu sein, darf man ja ohnehin kein Problem damit haben, mit Faschos wie Linnemann an einem Tisch zu sitzen. 020 2
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 19/06/2025NOPE They're doing one good thing here, but that doesn't make them good people. 350 5
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 30/05/2025Get photos of those japanese businesses with opening hours like 16:00-26:00 to convince people that it's totally a real thing and they should adopt it as well. 130 3
Zoey @zoey.northsky.social · 05/04/2025Ok that's funny, but depending on the positioning of the camera, it could absolutely capture you, your children, your pets, etc. And you know the manufacturer won't give a shit about that when they decide where to put the camera inside the oven... 100 1
