Oh my goodness I've just learned a thing about The Matrix that causes it to make a lot more sense: In the original script the humans were used as neural network compute clusters by the Machines and as a crucial component of The Matrix itself.

Which is why humans who were aware of the simulation could control aspects of The Matrix - their minds were part of its foundation.

Unfortunately the test audiences had trouble understanding this concept so the studio changed the human role to "batteries".

People says all words are made up. People know nothing. Words live, dormant, seeking use, until they are found, given work.

Words worship their finders, their first users, and bless them to find other words.

After Smudge the Cat found "dawih", he also found "tgfokl" and "kuibgh".

"Am I not broken?"
"Your soul is hale, your body is hale. They just don't fit together. It happens."
"Is there nothing you can do?"
"Find someone else with the same complaint, and I'll swap your souls."

Weil jemand entschieden hat, dass sein dummes Hobby "Zigaretten rauchen" ihm in seiner eigenen Wohnung zu sehr stinkt, macht er es am Fenster, weswegen meine Wohnung jetzt nach seinem Hobby stinkt.

Fair? Nein. Asozial? Total! Quasi Körperverletzung? Auch!

Friendly reminder: In a world where so many people are cruel for the sake of it, the most punk thing you can do is to be kind without expecting anything in return.

Ein Bekannter von mir aus der Schweiz überlegt gerade, seine Faser von 1GBit/s auf 10GBit/s die Sekunde zu „upgraden“ (aka. die Optiken austauschen lassen, denn in der Schweiz wird Consumer Internet P2P gebaut und nicht mit GPON).

Für umgerechnet 45 Euro im Monat.
Inklusive 4K-Apple TV, Fernsehen und Telefonanschluss.

Ich gah dann mal wieder weinen.

Duckling update.

The twelve from yesterday are down to nine today. This is unfortunately the way of nature otherwise we’d be knee deep in ducks.

Autos und Staubsauger: bis zur EU Verordnung dachten Konsumenten: je mehr Watt und laut desto besser.
Und jetzt mit der Beschränkung... Effizientere Sauger und Roboter.

Das wäre doch mal was für Autos.
