what can a ten year old do(besides mass murder & accidents) that messes up their life so badly that it is unrecoverable?

kill their own parents (it’s not technically mass murder until you’ve killed three people).

As someone who’s used android literally since the first android phone was released, it’s a massive disappointment how locked down and enshittified it’s become.

People have to choose a server with mastodon, and you can’t just pick any server because of the mess of defederations.

I’ve volunteered for a few charity shops (UK version of a thrift store) in the past, the weirdest thing was the trash people would “donate”, like used diapers.

Well now I’m going to have to use it even more.

The article I linked says they’re unrelated.

The Pauli effect is not related to the Pauli exclusion principle, which is a bona fide physical phenomenon named after Pauli. However the Pauli effect was humorously tagged as a second Pauli exclusion principle, according to which a functioning device and Wolfgang Pauli may not occupy the same room.

“don’t worry about it being perfect” and “stop being so self critical”

The Pauli effect or Pauli’s device corollary is the supposed tendency of technical equipment to encounter critical failure in the presence of certain people. The term was coined after mysterious anecdotal stories involving Austrian theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli, describing numerous instances in which demonstrations involving equipment suffered technical problems only when he was present.

An incident occurred in the physics laboratory at the University of Göttingen. An expensive measuring device, for no apparent reason, suddenly stopped working, although Pauli was in fact absent. James Franck, the director of the institute, reported the incident to his colleague Pauli in Zürich with the humorous remark that at least this time Pauli was innocent. However, it turned out that Pauli had been on a railway journey to Zürich and had switched trains in the Göttingen rail station at about the time of the failure.

R. Peierls describes a case when at one reception this effect was to be parodied by deliberately crashing a chandelier upon Pauli’s entrance. The chandelier was suspended on a rope to be released, but it stuck instead, thus becoming a real example of the Pauli effect

Yup, kernel level “anti-cheat” is a rootkit spyware that “pinky swears” it’s only spying for a good reason.
