Have to agree, it’s a funny story but charging someone a stupidity rate for nonexistent work isn’t justified by that person being stupid and a pain in your ass. Unless your circumstances force you, you can always just refuse work from customers like this. So many people downvoting this is disappointing.
I always love the “now in the British Museum” line… Interesting how things end up there! 😐
Watched it live, it was quite exciting and I am very happy for India and its scientists!
You can just assign visible colours to these invisible-to-humans parts of the spectrum so that we can see them. :)
Looks delicious, I like the addition of the simple salad. :)
Thank you for sharing these links, this is some very interesting context to Orwell and his writing. It seems I read 1984 quite naively, though some things did seem off even then.
I would not recommend addictive and harmful habits like smoking tobacco/pot and drinking as a coping mechanism, it can go real bad and can make it harder to get out of that hole again.
That looks delicious and hard to eat 😄
What are the main patty ingredients?
Very fascinating, thank you for sharing!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
At least in the IzzyOnDroid Repo, not in the official F-Droid repo :)

It is actually Android 10+, but I think the automatic updates only work for Android 12+ :)
I have it a try and it still has some growth ahead before it is useful in my eyes.
Edit: correction, the latest release is still Android 12+, but the next release will support 10+
Finally we find the prothean artifact!
It asks whether you want to enable sentry at first start and you can enable/disable it anytime in the settings too. I’d also like a tracker-free version on F-Droid long term, but for now this is okay for me personally.
It’s not a messenger, but for locally frequently transferring or syncing a lot of data, I can recommend syncthing. You can use it to configure shared directories, syncthing will use the local network as available (or you can force it to) to transfer files across the devices. We use it for keeping some media, notes, password databases and documents in sync over a bunch of devices. :)
The meaning of copyleft is just that those who use the license have to typically also use the same or a similar license. There is no restriction to who can use it, just to the terms under which they can use it and have to license it.
GPLv3 for example does not allow derivative works to be closed source, while MIT does. In practice this makes some companies hesitant to use GPL-licensed works, but they can, and many do, they just have to abide by its rules. :)
Given the dynamics of the galaxy and the early solar system, there is about a 7% chance that our solar system has a captured ice giant planet in the Oort cloud
So if there is a planet at the edge of the solar system, it is more likely to be an adopted child rather than one of the Sun’s offspring. It’s still most likely that the Oort Cloud has no large worlds, but this study shows that planetary systems don’t always form in isolation, and there are plenty of star systems that are likely blended families.
The article talks about both :)
But “gamers” is evidently the wrong word, it should be “men”. The whole point is that there are a ton of female gamers, and then they equate gamers with men in the title 🤷
On some level yes, but ultimately the worst cases of poorly invested time make me learn to spend my time better, so it wasn’t entirely wasted - I like to think of it as a learning experience.
What I am more concerned about is subtle time wasting, sprinkled all throughout daily life in the form of various technologies and media mainly. It’s so hard to get a feeling for how much time you are really spending there and it’s even harder to escape it.
