  • What’s your problem with something adequate for children with health issues being available off the shelf anyway? I know how to make many things, but I’m not cooking strawberry marmelade or baking bread every time I have breakfast either.

    Little scenario:

    Grandma wants to bring a little present for her grandkid and pop at the shop, sees something that’s marketed gluten free and remembers that they are allergic, so they buy it. Grandkid has fun, grandma is happy, gluten free kinetic sand brand has made a sale.

    Or do you suggest that grandma should look up the recipe online, then go to home depot to buy sand and to walmart to get starch, beforehand?




  • I received an email for both my personal and for my work account. They link a form that you have to fill in to justify why you don’t want your information to be used for that purpose, and how it would affect you. So quite a lot of work to opt-out.

    But I took the time to write something, if you wish to copy it for your own opting-out, feel free!


    Please explain how this will affect you. (required)

    I consider products based on generative artificial intelligence to be unethical, harmful to society and environmentally destructive. My personal data must not be used to encourage this unbridled race.

    Please provide us with any additional information that may help us to review your objection. (Optional)

    Human creativity needs to be treasured, and automating artistic expression is shameful. Automatically generated images and texts are soulless, and if no one has made the effort to write or draw something, I don’t see the point in spending time reading or admiring it.


  • I would play the piano more, read all the science fiction (Azimov, Herbert, HG Wells, Orwell, Bradbury, AC Clarke, UK Le Guin…), play Boardgames & Magic the Gathering with my friends, probably start making content for youtube or twitch, make pastry everyday, do gardening and building projects around the house…

    The question is, do I have any budget to do all that, or are my basic needs covered but I can’t choose where to live, what I eat etc?

    Honestly, I don’t find any satisfaction in work because I love doing so many things and would rather do one of them for money.
