  • This is the second reference I’ve seen to this today, so I had to look it up and see that it is (was) in fact real.

  • I’m annoyed at the top line of the terminal showing the bottom line of the video

  • They say they’re going to propose some activity pub extensions to handle this. It seems to me like they should try to make this function in a way that works with how Lemmy handles cross-posts.

  • Did that even exist in 2013?

  • Interesting little tidbit from the article, the model is a lesbian, so even less interested in obese older men than the average young heterosexual woman would be. Seems she wasn’t actually too concerned by the article since she’s a professional, but did find the usage amusing because it came from a set where she was modeling being sick (like having a cold).

  • How could BuzzFeed be ruined when it was always bad?

  • As a solid outsider, this whole Rust thing seems like it keeps simmering under the surface in a way that could one day boil over and seriously damage the entire Linux project.

    I don’t have a machine capable of running Asahi today, but I also don’t feel like I need it now. Reading this and reading marcan’s resignation makes me feel like I should find some way to chip in to Asahi now so that whenever Apple eventually stops supporting my hardware, Asahi will hopefully still be there and ready to keep the hardware going. I figure I probably have about 6 years of Apple support, but I’m also suspecting Apple might support the ARM hardware longer than they ever did Intel or PowerPC, so I might have even more time.

  • He has a junk shelf instead of a junk drawer

  • I’m impressed at your willingness to try; almost no one does. I hope you like it!

  • That’s where we always lose people. It’s actually good! It works!

  • Not in a position to watch this, but I have done some very basic insert edits in my time and it was certainly the faster way to accomplish the task in those cases. I did appreciate the speed and relative ease of the task.

  • Raw flour is not recommended for direct consumption because it can actually carry foodborne illnesses. I suppose you could “cook” it in the oven with no other ingredients to have a similar experience but killing any potential pathogens.

  • I’ve never tried it but you won’t have to convince me!

  • This is very much a regional food around here, but if you’re not from here, with previous generations from here, it will seem like a strange food: the banana sandwich. This is peanut butter, banana, and mayonnaise (Duke’s Mayonnaise for any proper Southerner). People are generally on board until you mention the mayonnaise. I get that it sounds weird but is actually really good.

    I hear it called a Southern thing but don’t know if it’s just a North Carolina thing or extends farther across the South. It is definitely a thing, though. I remember years ago one of the larger news outlets posted a question on their Facebook page, asking if people sliced their banana into planks or circles for their sandwiches and it got hundreds of comments in response with people arguing for one option or the other. I’ve always been a circle person myself. I can see a theoretical appeal for planks in having less open space but am so used to circles that I’ve never quite figured out the logistics of cutting straight planks out of a curved banana.

  • I’m guessing this is nothing to do with the plant that can grow on amusing terra cotta sculptures?

  • I never used to eat it but actually like adding it to oatmeal with maple syrup and blueberries

  • This is more to replace the digital signs that currently use LCD/LED displays. It’s more readable in the daytime because it doesn’t need a ridiculously bright backlight to compete against the sun. Compared to those signs this uses dramatically less electricity because it only uses electricity when the image changes (reading the article some of the options run off a small battery pack like you could use to recharge your phone a few times). Iirc you also don’t really have burn-in issues with e-ink. It looks like their color reproduction has gotten a lot better with the latest generation, so this could be a really good fit for a lot of outdoor digital signs.

  • Pull the plug on your computer sometime to try it out?

  • Gives me strong vibes of World Class Leaderboard on DOS! I’d go ahead and pick this up but my wife was just telling me today we need to be a little more careful on spending (she had surgery and we’ve been getting more takeout than normal). But it’s on my wishlist now!

  • I’d like an X but also haven’t really seen much to push me to upgrade from the One X I currently have. The only thing I haven’t been able to play is Flight Simulator and I’d kind of rather be on PC for that. It’s probably cheaper to get the console than build a PC, but my wife got me a Quest 2 a couple years ago and VR seems like it would be pretty fun in Flight Simulator.
