Our woolies seems to be doing some fancy AI / ML things at the self checkout. If you place a fruit/veg item on the scale, it'll show you a narrowed down list of what it thinks you're wanting to add to your bag.

It was spot on every time too! Which totally beats the old method of putting something on the scale then scanning through a poorly organised list.

@aurynn it's been years and I still don't know which seat to take!

@daedalus @emmadavidson also shows they're aware that their core offering is dangerous and yet refuse to self regulate.

@leigh @aurynn 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ shouldn't be too far off! Apple's CDN etc. permitting.

@aurynn @leigh slowly but surely getting there 😅 there is a super silly bug that I introduced in one of the latest releases that logs you out if the app is killed in the background. There's a fix in review so hopefully that rolls out soonish :)

How it started...

Mastodon stories when?

This is amazing and long overdue news from the fruit co. 🎉 https://www.macstories.net/news/apple-reduces-app-store-commissions-to-15-for-small-businesses-starting-next-year/

@aurynn ah that is a bummer! I hope you have the time / space to be able to look after yourself mate 🙂

@aurynn 😄 how's your client dev going?

FIFA, but you play as Ted Lasso

I met with two (TWO!) sets of friends this weekend, my voice is hoarse and I am more exhausted than I was on Friday, but my gosh I didn't realise how much I missed this ☺️

This week's loaves #breadposting

This cutie has been hanging out in our yard over the last few weeks 🦜

Victoria, you did it! You're all amazing! I can't wait to have a beer with all my friends and family there soon 🍩

One thing that the Apple Watch's hand washing detection has taught me is that my bathroom tap takes > 20s to come to the right temperature. This is especially evident as the last few days have felt particularly (unseasonably?) icy 🥶

@mike oh, yep! Sorry for the confusion, the one founded in 1901.

Over the past few weeks, a blue-tongue lizard has been sunning itself in our yard. Each day, around noon, crumpet would go find it and sit nearby watching it. It's been a few days since we've seen Lizzy but crumpet still walks to the same spot and waits for her friend to pop out.

Had my first electronic voting experience today in the ACT.

Have to say it was pretty neat and painless!

Process was essentially; receive a card with a QR code, scan said card, enter preferences, scan card again and then drop card in a ballot box. Would be interested to understand how votes get stored / how they're tied to a card. I have my guesses, but but they all lead me to something overly convoluted 😅
