*Internet of Shit*
You thought the /Juicero/ was the most ridiculous /Internet of Shit/ thingy? Think again, after you've watched this video about the Wi-Fi enabled wine bottle:
Home Automation should be called Home Manualisation :-(.
For every 10min you save through the Automation part, you have to invest 1 hour to coax some part into working again....
Today the controlling unit informed me, that 3 of my actuators require a firmware update. 2/3 updated without problem, the third one fell into some kind of "safe mode" (bootloader) and it took quite some googling and experimenting to get it working again.
Is there a way to retrieve an (id) index of my uploaded media files? #mastodon
"We built the commercial internet by mastering techniques of persuasion and surveillance that we’ve extended to billions of people, including essentially the entire population of the Western democracies.

Just for your information:
The bomb attack on the german soccer team (where there they found letters with islamists taking the responsibility for it) was committed by someone short-selling stock options for that soccer club. The guy has just been arrested....
The shooting in Paris is probably not different. Instead of dragging down the stock options of a club, the extremists just want to boost the election chances of their fellow extremist.
Perhaps the ultimate purpose of Google+ is to introduce Mastodon users to each other ;-)
Hmmm, i desperately want previews/thumbs of links i post here.
Is this already on the todo list?
And can i follow the devs here, to be updated / informed of what's planned in the near future?
@sakaal Test!
I'm losing my patience with Google+
*Reminder*
The new novel "Change Agent" from Daniel Suarez has been released today. so make sufficient accommodations for being home early and start to read ;-).
Note to self: set the moisture meter of the home automation to the highest sensitivity :-(.
Paar Cents + Intro von mir zu Mastodon.
I wish people would get courses on "How to board a plane" in school :-(.

Sometimes my lack of 3D vision is hurting me quite literally. On the positive side: the blood only dripped on places it can be easily removed from.
