Sounds like an anxiety inducing app. And I thought sleep tracking was anxiety inducing. Imagine getting a notification that you might have ass cancer.

I would hope just motion activated. I really don’t want to have to yell at my toilet either.

I worked for Cisco during the time IoT was being pushed into everything. You don’t want to know how bad it is. If I was malicious I could have easily written several backdoors into their products without anyone knowing. I wrote kernel code in their IOS operating system. There are no checks on that shit and the entire switching team does next to zero peer review on kernel security.

Yes, there products that (at the time) touched upwards of 95% of all packets sent over the Internet.

Yeah but what if you could make it worse? What if you could add the garbage motion sensor that takes ten hand waves to get working? Or add a touch screen that showed you visually how hot or cold the water was and could also show you ads?

The problem isn’t necessarily smart toilets. The problem is companies attempting to have complete control over the product and ensuring that their products do not function without dependency on their infrastructure.

There is no functional reason to have a toilet connect to an outside server. There are no functional reasons to have many of these smart devices require outside dependencies. But their profits and their subscription models definitely benefit from being able to remotely disable features.

Technology is garbage not because we’ve gone too far with Technology. Technology is garbage because of capitalism.

I am currently actually. My startup I put my heart into for 5 years got bought out by $BIG_COMPANY for pennies on the dollar a couple years ago. Have just been giving about 2-5% effort since. Half the people that built our startup got screwed over and laid off. It felt only right to give zero effort since then as a survivor of it. Waiting for $BIG_COMPANY to drop next round of layoffs and rethink my career.

I love programming. But this field is just garbage to the people that care about it. I’m bitter for sure. Collecting a paycheck until then. I’m surprised at how little effort I can give and still not get fired.

And don’t even get my started on how much this field exploits the fuck out of H1 visas for what is basically modern day serfdom.

I think the more the autism the more you’re frustrated that the other autistic people didn’t connect to your sarcasm. It’s the autism paradox. We found something we thought was relatable to normies and lost all relatability to other neurodivergent people in an attempt to be normal and still no one fucking got it.

But we’re on fucking Lemmy. We’re all on a level of neurodivergence I’m sure.

Thanks. I was trying to match some dry humor with the frustrations the relationship with wage labor frustrations and my usual balance of alcohol. I’m glad it hit for someone.

I actually appreciate all the downvotes and comments. I’ll take the “make people think”. Which is why I think my comment got so many replies. Enjoyable either way.

That was the joke. Maybe it was too Meta. Maybe it needed /s tag. But sometimes you just leave a tongue in cheek comment and miss. I’m ok if it was a miss. But I think if you took it seriously you probably outrank me.

I’m glad someone enjoyed my humor. I’m a mix between your most annoying coworker and your favorite coworker that approves your PR whenever you ping them. No unit test attached? Approved. Im sure you’re gonna do that when you have the time. Just make sure you address my minor comment that looks like I had some feedback ok?

You’re probably right. I should assume the autism level is above average here… My bad. But your mom’s cunt is pretty wet when she rubs it on my face. Not your best analogy.

Edit: no /s to be clear. Your mom’s cunt is dripping. But it’s good that you don’t know that.

Nope. 10 years experience at dicking around and collecting a paycheck. ChatGPT helps me dick around better.

Sometimes the more nonsensical it looks the less likely someone will bother taking their time to actually code review it.

My goal is keeping a job. Not getting work done. Then I just get more work to do.

Edit: I don’t know why I expected people on this sub to actually be able to tell what a joke was.

I swear to God search is purposely getting worse in order to force LLMs on us.

Not to mention image searches are just spammed with garbage AI art. Gotta add “before:2022” to all my images searches.

Knowing how to actually navigate vim is worth learning. Especially if you work in embedded systems where a lot of the time you’re on setup that is running barebones and likely just has vi as a text editor.

But I used VSCode for dev work with the VIM plugin.

Yeah. Just do what normal autistic people like me do. Put earbuds in both ears.

As a power bottom I’m offended you would even consider this idiot to put in that much effort.

Absolutely. Good luck comrade

Yeah that’s probably for the best. I say this with no judgement as a former WoW addict. It’s the time to do shit in the real world and get organized to resist these Fascist. Hit up PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation) or DSA (Democratic Socialist of America) in your area. If anything it will give you a social life on Friday/Saturday (usually when they have meetups for PSL in my experience). PSL in my area even organized child care during meetups/protests.

Also, your local SRA (Socialist Rifle Association) if you have one. Basically the only place to train with a weapon that isn’t filled with MAGA hats. But they have literally been overwhelmed since November so might have to deal with hogs in another course if you’re interested in that. Again, depends on your location.

That’s my experience trying to explore real life anyway. Your path might be different. Plenty of mutual aids to join. Lots of local organizations of any kind our leading the charge to resist ICE. Depending on your location that might be a Mosque, Synagogue, Church, Temple, etc. (Thats one of the main reasons they now legally allow ICE to raid them. Which is FUBAR.) Find out what works for you in your area.

Harsher moderation followed by a bot farm the richest man payed for to report every account that is critical of Nazis.

I’m not even kidding. At this point the amount of comments on Lemmy that I’ve read that had 10+ year old Reddit accounts banned for “inciting violence” is crazy. I was one of them a few months ago. Told a dude denying a Nazi salute was a Nazi salute to “go to hell where Nazis belong”. Was banned within an hour. Permanent and IP/Metadata banned. Instant response of “no” to my unban request.

This is not a unique experience either. Leave reddit like it’s the plague. Digg died because of bad decisions. Reddit seems like it’s gonna become 4chan but for the mainstream. I don’t know if it’ll die. I think they’re purging anyone that has leftist profiles.
