nat8265639392··on What job interviews taught me about Kubernetes
Run the apply via a pipeline. Pr merged in. Plan runs. Approval gate for apply.
nat8265639392··on Appeal accepted: Google removed my ads-free app for “deceptive ads”
Not an app developer. But isn’t a big reason for native apps just to harvest more metrics and data about your customers? (Not implying anything bad about that in this context btw)
nat8265639392··on Poo found on every McDonald’s touchscreen tested (2018)
Pretty much poop everywhere. I’m stitting on a bench right now that I’m sure has had a lifetime of bird shit on it. Wiped clean of course but fecal matter must be all over it.

We’re constantly being told to avoid being ‘too’ clean so I just pretend it’s a positive, and I wash my hands before I eat.

nat8265639392··on ISPs in AU and NZ start censoring the internet without legal precedent
Should I also watch rape videos? Videos of kids being molested? Animal abuse? Just so I understand those events ‘in full’? That’s absurd to me.

Should the events be discussed? Absolutely. But I don’t have to watch these things to understand how abhorrent they are.

nat8265639392··on Australia has enough solar, wind storage in pipeline to go 100% renewables
Iirc, she also has or had quite a bit invested in Australia’s media.

How would I find out which companies are invested in the media and the cross over between it and mining companies? That would be something I want to read.

I’m not saying that they uses that to influence public opinion. But I do worry that it could be that way. The media here loves going on about the ‘baseload’. What ever that means.

nat8265639392··on Saving of public Google+ content by the Archive Team has begun
I agree in that I don’t understand what is important about this. But as someone interested in history knowing that stuff has been thrown out because of this same mindset hundreds of years ago is upsetting. People 2000 years from now might study the google+ years at university lol.
nat8265639392··on Mushrooms may 'reduce the risk of mild brain decline'
I expected the same, so it’s not just you.
nat8265639392··on New Skype for Web is live for Edge and Chrome browsers
Is jitsi any good?
nat8265639392··on The Future of Computing Is Analog
Can anyone recommend any good books or resources to learn more about analog computing?
nat8265639392··on University of California tells students not to use WeChat, WhatsApp in China
Does whatsapp work in China? I had to switch to telegram to talk to a friend that lives over there because it stopped working a few months ago.
nat8265639392··on The known unknowns of plastic pollution
Something that came up in this article, is often brought up as a ‘gotcha’ in other articles and in discussions is the whole thing about a cotton bag needing 140 uses to be better than a plastic bag.

This has been so easy for me, but the fact it keeps coming up makes me think it’s not for other people? I have cotton bags that I have had for 3 -4 years that I still use a few times a week.

The first couple of weeks I would forget them. But I stuck with it and it’s just habit that I grab them on the way to the shops or throw them in my work bag in the morning.

Also the idea that plastic isn’t bad for the environment doesn’t make a difference about wether I want that stuff floating around in the ocean or ruining beaches/forests. Make producers pay for the clean up. F them.
