touch screens can be justified IMO, IF the company let it function as a diagnostic computer but the auto industry seem terrified of actually making something resembling a competent configurable UI. Internet could be nice if the appliance just used SNMP or similar protocols that have been around for decades, but the companies seem to love that shitty malware they call an App.

a non-diffused, bright, monocromatic red led would still be painful to look at in the dark, it’s just that blue LEDs tend to be brighter + our eyes are more sensitive to blueish green light at night + the damn companies don’t bother putting a diffuser in front of the diode.

To be fair against mastodon the “mastodonservers.net” (first result on DuckDuckGo when looking up “mastodon instance list”) does list an instance featuring primarily pornographic content first (as far as I can tell this is because it list by usercount in decending order), which could be off putting to some people.

The first Google result for the same query “instances.social” is a list, but in the non legacy non advanced view has almost completely non-functional filters.

Neither of these are “joinmastodon.org” which is probably the best website for someone trying to join mastodon, considering it appears to be ran by the developers.

a 12v outlet can power a radio just fine

I can’t wait for people to find the actual towing capacity, hopefully it manages at least 3 tons.

electric vehicles are not a used market yet

I can barely count the number of alarm clocks that I ended up destroying by hitting the snooze button on two hands.

lentils, featuring onion and garlic

probably not the lowest quality, but an allarm clock from walmart that sheared/tore off the prongs from its plug leaving them in the outlet. (to have some charity I was putting significant strain on it)

yeah, but it is nice if the towel rack is screwed into studs so it can be used as one in a pinch.

to add to this, non removable cords just need to die, there is almost never significant cost to make the cord tetachable and it allows the user to replace the cord after it inevitably gets eaten by a vacuum or breaks of metal fatigue.

those hooks are perfect for hanging two t shirts on, or a zippered/buttoned clothing, or even skirts

Every thing permanently installed in a house should IMO be designed to support one human of weight from above, especially in a room that will have a wet slipery floor.

Honestly my bigges complaint with extra layers is when the manufacturer decides that nobody needs to use modifiers with them.

Office chairs, no, but massage chairs have.

designed without thought to abnomal situations, when designing ot to handle them better would require almost no extra effort.

weird, for me it works even with just setting a mobile browser to “desktop mode”.

no? Just claim to be a desktop computer.

what if there became a Nazi ran Mastodon or pixelfed or Lemmy instance?
