    No, self checkout lanes are the worst. The machine messes up and I have three employees descending on me from three different directions and everybody turns and stares and I have to try to explain what I was doing when their shitty machine messed up and then they check all of my items and it takes longer than if I just went through a regular lane.

    In the regular lanes I only have to deal with one person who is usually doing a good job and is always in the same place and always says the same things.

    Edit: also the railroad needs to cover more of the island.




  • Because the priority is not making secure apps, the priority is not being responsible for security incidents. The lawyers at the company making shitty apps (e.g.: your bank) want to be able to say “We followed industry best practices, which is whatever Google said to do”.

    That being said: root, unlocked bootloader, and custom ROMs can all be big security problems. But if your bank’s app will not work on GrapheneOS, your bank just sucks.





  • I went shopping with my partner for a lamp. On the positive side, when store employees get chatty, my partner handles the smalltalk. On the negative side, I knew what I wanted the lamp to do; my partner had vague feelings about how they wanted the lamp to make them feel. We did not find a lamp that instilled the right feelings.

    It was not a total loss, I bought a lamp for my work desk so I can see better for writing and soldering. And I got some poffertjes from a street vendor.
