OMG I want to tell you about the coolest thing I've learned about in a hot minute! (Maybe everyone already knows about this, but it's new to me & I LIKE LEARNING STUFF LET'S GO ON A JOURNEY OF EXPLOSIVE DISCOVERY TOGETHER)

SO. Under certain precise conditions, natural deposits of uranium can develop spontaneous nuclear fission chain reactions identical to the kind we make on purpose in modern nuclear reactors

i'm taking a course in Shopify Academy and just red this... curious what your thoughts are: Consumers expect fast delivery options. Retailers will need to offer same-day or next-day delivery to meet these expectations and stay competitive. Providing flexible delivery options, such as scheduled delivery times and easy return processes, will also enhance the customer experience and encourage purchases.
Does delivery time play into you chosing to order a product?


There's a question in r/blind: "Should I switch to a MacBook after ten years on Windows?" No. No you should not. The poster is doing coding, and I can't imagine trying to learn to code while also dealing with how badly VoiceOver does in Safari. I haven't tried VSCode on macOS much, but I doubt it would be anywhere near as seamless as it is on Windows.

It’s not bad. I prefer code runner but VS Code works.


Carbon capture and storage will play absolutely no role in "the energy transition" as there's no evidence it can be scaled up in any meaningful way that even lowers emissions, and isn't creating energy either.

CCS is simply just a scam that's been designed by and for the fossil fuel industry so they can keep burning and profiting - and make you suffer for it.

in reply to Christian Selig

My former employer invited him to talk at a company event back in 2009 or so, and while I listened to him talk, I had an unsteady feeling about him and his attitudes. I had a feeling this guy could be a toxic personality easily. I hate to be proven correct. And I am glad I didn't accept a job offer at that place a few years back. A friend had encouraged me to apply, but I felt this wasn't right for me. Well, I got burnt out anyway, and am now retired and no longer need to worry about anything job-related any more, but I am certainly glad I avoided that particular pitfall.


Mozilla latest move make it hard to say "use Firefox as it is not developed by an ad company"

The argument that Google money doesn't influence Firefox development, but the means, is no longer relevant.

Congratulation to Mozilla for choosing a strategy that alienate the last bit of demographic that support them.



If you're sick of the "Log in with Google" pop-up (I am) and use UBlock Origin on Firefox, you can nuke it by adding this to your filters:

accounts.google.com/gsi/*

At least, it's worked so far.

Some days I think every "advance" in web technologies after 1998 was a mistake...

in reply to Dave Mac Farlane

@driusan Yup. It's Franco Fascism. Legault is a Fascist. And not even just about language. That permeates in everything.

As a person whose mother tongue is French (from France) I feel deeply offended with what's happening.

I wonder why the Android 15 beta for Samsung phones is coming so late this year? If I remember right, when I got my Samsung phone, there was already an Android 14 beta for it, and that was in early September.
in reply to Mason

I was wondering the same thing. Google’s release is late too, so maybe there are some under the hood changes that make just dropping in previous modifications and adding new ones less simple than they were last year. Reminds me of the Android 7/8 days.


So far I like Earth 6160 Captain America far more than Earth 1610 Cap.

Given the recent Telegram scandal, we've updated our review of WhatsApp alternatives. 👉 tuta.com/de/blog/best-whatsapp…

What's your take? Should we drop Telegram completely? 🤔

Which is your favorite replacement for WhatsApp?

in reply to Tuta

certainly no telegram, if possible. but it became more than just messenger, unfortunately.

if it should be a channel, i guess matrix kinda works. maybe with Chinny client?

if (open) group chats, matrix as well. also signal, but the problem with signal is that it requires phone number (even if you can hide it).

if private messages, signal and matrix; simpleX seems nice, even though i didn't try it. threema is not free, so not everyone will be able to use it.

signal and matrix have their problems, but they're WAY better than telegram kremlingram.

don't know about wire and session much, can't really say anything about them.

DHL need to get over themselves. Nobody knows or cares about the difference between DHL and DHL Express, or their separate websites, or their separate apps - apart from when you go to the wrong one, because it's so confusing. Absolute whammers
