My wife thinks my “I’m a single dad!” shirt is inappropriate but I am factually not two dads.
"There's a theory that early Europeans started saying "brown one" or "honey- eater" instead of "bear" to avoid summoning them, and similarly my friend has started calling Alexa "the faceless woman" because saying her true name awakens her from her slumber"
Old horsehair fishing nets from Brittany, once used to catch monkfish, are now shielding Ukraine’s frontlines from Russian drones. 280km of repurposed netting, sent by Kernic Solidarités, is being stretched across trenches and roads, forming traps that snare drones like flies in a web.
@HighlandLawyer Realistically, even taking into account insane housing prices and medical needs, there is no valid need for anyone to have over $200M (or over $30-50M on top of ownership of their primary residence).
But I think "ban billionaires" is a good pitch, especially as *nobody* who isn't already hyper-rich thinks of themselves as a potential target for this. (Whereas "ban the rich" makes the middle class uneasy.)
If your job is to build software and you decide that you’re not going to support “old devices “ then you need to understand that you’re making life more difficult for people who are already struggling with tech.
Elderly, people with disabilities, people who lack the means to buy the latest.
Lets rethink this.
Ok? Ok!
My dad who is 81 recently got into trouble cause the app where he pays his bills decided that his phone is too old.
He has a fully functional phone that’s a couple of years old but he now needs to throw it away because of software.
I think this is bullshit.
ich höre so oft erwachsene darüber sprechen, dass sie ihre kindheit vermissen und frage mich dann: ihr wisst schon, dass ihr das was ihr daran vermisst jetzt auch einfach machen könnt? halt nein, sogar sehr viel mehr. kinder wollen vielleicht ihre wand in rosa mit glitzer streichen, aber ich hab das halt gerade einfach getan? überlegt mal wie viel ihr damals mit euren eltern hättet diskutieren müssen. jetzt könnt ihr einfach in den baumarkt gehen.

Web Developers & Designers
This is your friendly reminder that low vision users exist. We need font sizes that are dramatically larger than yours.
Many of us use the “minimum font size" NOT zoom, because we need bigger text, not bigger images.
I'm on the very low end of low vision needs, but my 20pt minimum font size breaks SO MANY web sites.
This pic shows how big fonts are on my screen (thumb & ruler for context).

You're poor and suffering? "it's gods plan!" or "you somehow deserved it"
On religion it's always somehow good that children are dying.
My esoteric coworkers believe I'm one of them because I drink ayurvedic tea. But I quietly think their whole new age shtick is humbug and I never even read the bits of yogi wisdom on the tea bags everyone in the office loves. I just like the taste of that particular tea brand.
There are finally real USB3 (not Thunderbolt, not USB4 PCIe Tunneling) 10GbE NICs!
RTL8159 chipset-based, it uses the generic cdc_ncm driver on Linux.
Also seems to work on macOS and iOS.
TCP throughput between GPD Pocket 4 and MacBook Pro M1 seems a bit low at ~6.2 GBit/s, but that might also be due to the connected devices (both sides are using the same adapter).
I don't have another 10GBit/s device here right now, sorry.
Still, exciting development.
Surely one of the finest pieces of journalism of all time? The headline alone is award winning.
Kurz vor Feierabend noch der Blick auf das Wetter für morgen: trüb und teils nass. Da trösten auch 13 Grad im Westen nicht drüber hinweg.
Wer kann: Morgen einfach liegen bleiben, ohne schlechtes Gewissen 😉
Wir wünschen euch eine gute Nacht.
