I very much wish I lived in a world where this post/linked article ("Hydrogen is dead as a fuel for cars") were wrong. But I cannot come up with a single counterpoint.

PS: I am linking someone's mastodon post here, so please do not get weird in their mentions due to me leading you to them!

I think that's the best pot of chili I've made so far and I got four generous portions out of it (eight if I eat it with rice or bread or sth, which I usually don't because I like beans)

A junior iOS developer from Ukraine is looking for a job or internship in the Frankfurt/Main area (or, anywhere in Germany). If you have any leads, please send them my way!

I don't get why all the Steam Deck competitors come with RGB lighting, while I do like having my computer glow at home why would I want lights in my face while I'm playing on the go?

can't even turn them off now so each of my bluetooth devices will try to connect to them until the batteries run out

PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.

If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it looks like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:

  1. Go to your device Settings
  2. Press "Google"
  3. Press "Ads"
    • While you're here, press the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
  4. Press "Ad Privacy"
  5. Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure all are labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot)

If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.

EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.

re: minor injury 

to clarify, I have oven cloths but they clearly aren't enough PPE for me

minor injury 

I would like to be able to use an oven without a 50% chance of getting a small burn on my hands

maybe I should just buy oven gloves

except that it takes fucking ages to start, maybe I should see if I can just… not have elasticsearch and libretranslate start up with it at least

The Unity's new "softened" pricing and policy changes are NOT good enough and they don't fix anything.

The dreaded "runtime fee" stays!
The nuts CEO & board stays!
They got what they wanted.
They WILL do this again.

Self-reported install counts will still be a nightmare and I am sure Unity will track this silently anyway.

Unity already twice silently altered their ToS.
Another "pinky promise"? SUUURE.

Finish your Unity games, and never look back.

I shouldn't play more Separate Ways but I kinda want to… but I shouldn't
